Triathlons?

Just wondering if anyone's attempted a triathlon of any length before?

I'm attempting my first on 2 April, but have NO idea how any of it works... I've never even seen a triathlon.

I'm just going to finish, don't care about time yet, as it'll be the first time I've swam in about 5 years and the first time riding a bike since I got my license at 16 (never ever ridden this far)... at least I know I can easily run the 5k

I'm doing a spint distance at 600m swim 16mi bike 5krun. I'm just riding a POS mountain bike as i'm not about to go buy a $1,000 (entry level) road or tri bike.

so... anyone?
