Training for the Olympic...Introduction

My wife and I had a gym membership for about 5 months prior to the Sprint Triathlon.  I figured that I was able to do the Sprint, I should probably sign up for an Olympic Triathlon next summer.  Since I have 12 months to train, I should be able to be prepared for it.

So I signed up for this Olympic triathlon:

It is where I proposed to my wife and one of our favorite places to go.

.9m swim
24.8m bike ride
6.2m run

As of January 10th, I have now done the swim 3 times, and the run twice. 

I bought a bike off of craigslist for $400 a month ago and a pair of Jammer Aerobars for $20:

Unfortunately, we have had our typical winter weather that has prevented me from getting out on it.  (not a big fan of riding in 38 degree rain).

My wife and I typically go to the gym Monday nights.  I am trying to do a swim/ride/run each week also.  The past 3 weeks haven't really worked because of holidays/travel/weather...but I am eager to drop into it as soon as I see temperature above 40 degrees and no (or mild) rain.
