Any Triathletes here?

I am thinking about doing a "My First Tri" race on April 2 in Galveston, Texas. Then after that maybe the Tejas Triathlon in Sugarland (ugh! home of Bug Man DeLay!) on June 12. Both are sprint distances.

The hardest part for me is running. So far I have gotten on the treadmill a few times and am up to 2.5 miles - mostly jogging, a little walking. Need to work up to a comfortable 5K, after swimming and biking, by April 2. My goal is just to cross the finish line.

Any Triathletes here? Can we keep e/o posted on training? There are tri and runner's forums but they are WAY too intimidating for me to even THINK about posting in! I mean, i just bought my bike last week. Just found THIS forum today. :)
