i think that completing a triathlon would be so rewarding
How to run a triathlon
It made me 
"Great accomplishment"
How I did it: I decided that I wanted to run a triathlon so I just got on the internet and registered for one that was coming up in 2 months. I was in pretty good shape already and bike and run at least once or twice a week so knew I could complete that part. I didn't train the swim at all (but should have, looking back). The swim really exhausted me but about a quarter through the bike I got my energy back and made it the rest of the way with good times. It felt awesome accomplishing the tri.
Lessons & tips: Train all parts of the tri. Have days where you bike then immediately run, and days where you swim then immediately bike. The transitions are tough.
People doing this are also doing these things:

I start this endeavour 3 years ago and I get close and I never seem to get the swim part in…I have a couple of months….it might be more realistic to set this goal for next years triathlon season

tried biking 12 miles. I barely made that one. I’m out of shape, I plan on starting my workout tomorrow morning.
A deadline really helps

In June 2005 I decided: “On June 20th, 2006 I’ll run 10km, swim 1.5km, and cycle 40km, no matter where I’ll be or what I’ll be doing”
I started with 2km of running—and I was REALLY exhausted after that. I gradually improved in the sunsequent months.
Last week, with the moral support of my dear friend René, I achieved my goal, and it felt GREAT!
So my tip to you: Just set an accomplishment date, and then just do it!!!
