True enough- I can do 12 miles on my crappy hybrid, so I suppose I could manage on the road bike- I just have to get more comfortable with riding it.

I saw a few local ones (or reasonably local- like an hour or two away) at the mid/end of August, though I don't want to push myself too hard and cause an injury.

Can anyone recommend good places to find training programs (online, or book, etc) for all three sport components? My gym doesn not have a Master's swim program (at least not at the branch I'm a member of- and you have to pay extra to join another branch), and I can't really afford to join another gym/team, etc. But my sis was a competitive swimmer for years, so I could probably requisition her for some help. Other than that, I don't really have access to any warm bodies for assistance. If only I was still friends with the ex who was a nationally ranked triathlete... :-P
