I ran with people who had done it before, so I just went in blind, which was fun. Do a little research, and anything you don't have figured out you can pick up from watching others. Also, everyone there is looking out for each other.
Get a decent pair of shoes. You want something light that will shed water fast, but if you're overweight you want some cushioning. I am 5'7" and 195 pounds. I looked around and found a pair of these for $40. The 1010s have a bit more cushion that most minimalist shoes, but you can still wear them with no socks and the water just pours out; they don't get waterlogged and heavy.
As far as training, do everything, and a lot of it. Run frequently. Play some basketball, some racquetball. Swim. Hit the rowing machine. Do a ton of pull ups and squats. Actually, pull ups and squats are probably the most helpful workouts you can to prepare.
