Also, after you complete your first marathon, set a new goal....something equally or more difficult (something so you can't become complacent). I'm in the process of setting a new goal for myself because I recently achieved my old goal....now that I'm not quite sure what I want my next goal to be, my motivation is slipping a bit

Keep us posted on your progress
He's talking about a "sprint triathalon". That's a shorter version of the regular triathalon with the three disciplines of swim, bike, run.

It's not a marathon. A marathon is a running event which is a 26.2 mile race.
