Coincidentally I just set a similar goal for myself. I am 42 years old, also 5'8" but weigh 10 lbs more at 175 (down from 195 in the past).
I am trying to get in shape and have started running and riding my bike. I plan to atend a similar "mini Triatlon" on the 22nd of june in 4 weeks time. My swimming leg is longer at almost half a mile but the bike and running parts are similar. The goal is just to finish.
I have already completed the bike and running parts separately and today went to the pool which is my weakest part by far. Well... after just 500 yards I had to get out of the water feeling very bad and ended up vomiting (fortunately outside the pool). Next swimming practice will be this friday and then I will decide whether the goal is doable or not.
Keep us posted on your progress and good luck with your training.
