2013 resolutions

I registered for an Olympic Triathlon this June. I've never done a triathlon before and this is way out of my comfort zone. I intend to stick to a training schedule and avoid injury and just enjoy the thing, but what if I'm being crazy? I've never done a sprint triathlon, but here's the thing, I don't love paying for races when I can just as well do it on my own. I'm never in it for the competition, just for the personal accomplishment. So in my mind, a marathon, that's worth the cost. You need the port-a-potties, the drink stations, and the support. A half marathon, no. Just make up your own and get your family to give you some gatoraid half way. A sprint triathlon sounded like one of those things I could just do on my own and wouldn't need to pay $70 to try. An Olympic tri though, that sounded like I might need a little support. The distances:Swim 1640.42 yards   Bike 25 miles   Run 6.21 miles So the whole transition thing is new to me, but I can learn right? I'm a little concerned about all the equipment stuff, wet suit, getting my bike to the right place etc. But I'll figure it out right? All you other triathloners, I could use a word of encouragement and advice. (But just don't tell me I'm nuts to start with an olympic, it's too late, I already paid.)

6 months to train.
