Well, for me, I knew a couple of people who had worked very hard for over six months to train for it. I hadn't done a thing except "run" and swim once and do my normal biking. I know that a sprint doesn't compare to a HIM or IM, but it still didn't feel right to me to not train at all. Maybe it's because I've never participated in any group sports or competitions, so I'm not comfortable just showing up and doing poorly while others have taken it seriously.
