Wow! You're so inspirational!! Cool.
Lots of great ideas from everyone - I totally agree with the have fun attitude and take it slow in the beginning attitude. It's tough not to feel good about yourself once you've started training and since you all work together, there should be lots of opportunities to support each other. I helped one friend complete her first tri this summer and just helping her was such a great feeling! She's hooked and ready for more.
Keep us posted on your/their progress!!!

Cat,

I would make sure that they understand that it is fun...and painful all at once. 

Make sure they have fun training

All the "little" things that you learned from racing, like nutrition strategies and dealing with injuries/illness...how to set up a transition area

Finishing is the goal, finishing with a smile and feeling the pride that comes form achieving such an event is amazing.  Be sure they cheer each other on in training and at the race.
