I've always wanted to participate in a marathon/triathlon

I've always wanted to take part in a marathon, or a triathlon. Technically, I've always wanted to be at a point where I was physically fit enough to do it and not pass out halfway.
Being incredibly unfit, I thought I'd approach this one step at a time. Since summer is just around the corner, there would be a gazillion benefit runs, walks, and rides I could start myself off with.

Et, voilà! La carte de ma première course:

The tour de l'Ile (Tour of the island) begins at 9.15am on June 6th, 2010, and the total distance is 50km. I have about less than 5 weeks to start training myself. We are gonna get "bibs" for it! Bibs! It's official! Bibs do sound infantile though. Hm.

I took my bike out and wiped it down, and discovered that one of my tyres was bent. :( Obstacle 1!
