Lifting 2-3x a week is great- for your overall health as much as for tri training. In my experience (and my friends who race) it is protective against tri training related injuries. I usually do a full body circuit type thing at the gym for 30 min 2-3 times a week. I have also found doing some running specific exercises 2-3x a week at home after my runs to be helpful as well. As women, we are to be prone to weak glutes/hips and standard weight training may not address it. Here are the ones I do: http://strengthrunning.com/2011/02/the-itb-rehab-routine-video-demonstration/ and http://strengthrunning.com/2012/01/the-standard-core-routine-video-demonstration/. You don't need to go straight to doing all of these 2-3x a week- maybe add a workout a week until you are at an amount of strength work that feels appropriate to you.
I recommend a standard timex watch (at this stage in the game, I think you are better off running by feel than getting an expensive gps watch) and a bike computer like this one (fancy wireless http://www.amazon.com/CatEye-Wireless-Bicycle-Computer-CC-RD300W/dp/B003GNTCJI) or this (cheaper and just as functional http://www.amazon.com/Planet-Bike-Protege-5-Function-Computer/dp/B000R9EIES).
Also- remember to gradually increase your training, and make sure your body is keeping up with the stress you are putting on it. Definitely don't want you to get hurt or burnt out! Hope this helps you out :) keep it up!
Really straightforward. A simple wireless one like this has three bits to install. One on a spoke, one in a fixed location the spoke goes past as the wheel turns, and the little screen/computer where you can see it and push buttons.
They get considerably more elaborate, and I spent about four seconds finding this one to use as an example... so there might be better units for the same money or cheaper units than this, even.
The older wired style units would probably be a pain in the arse, and require a cable from the sensor to the computer that would have to be run through the chair's tubes or zip tied to the outside or something... but you could probably find one (especially used) for almost nothing.
Edit: Probably just running the Strava app (or similar) on your phone would be easier, though.
I've been using my Cateye Strada Wireless for the past year and a half and love it.
