two races for 2010 with very little training

I remember setting my new year's resolution this year.  I told myself I would lose some weight to make my tri times quicker.  As I have now finished the second and last of the triathlons I signed up for this year, I have seen my new year's resolution definitely proven to have been ignored.  With my time ever dwindling between work, homelife, and getting rest, I have now realized that triathlons go better with more training, hell, sufficient training would have been nice, but I am capable of finishing a couple of sprint triathlons on very sporadic training efforts.  This lack of training, my friends, I do not recommend, but backing down from challenges is something I did not want to do either.  My tri times? I am able to finish in under 2 hours, but definitely longer than last years' times. 

What does the future hold for me as a triathlete, and working mother? Even further, a working mother of a son with a development disorder?  I would have loved to go on some bike rides with James, but his interest in riding his bike, even with training wheels, is low.  I plan to continue entering races, and hope to train myself to train better.  Will triathlon groups have a role to play in my success?
