Thats the bike. I didnt want a road bike because its primary job will be as a commuter with some recreational riding, and 1 sprint triathalon this spring. I know its not designed for that, and I'll be slower on the bike than almost eveyone else. But Ill be slower in all other aspects of the race too, so that doesnt bother me at all ROFLMAO.
I've done a few sprint triathlons. You see everything from knobby tired mountain bikes to full fledged tri-bikes. You could do a lot worse than that Fuji. You'll be fine.

Have fun !

edit: Being that a sprint triathlon is a race you will see a ton of racing bikes. Don't let that psych you out. My brother has also done many tri's on a bike much like yours and he's relatively competitive. It wouldn't surprise me if he decided to get a road bike at some point but so far he doesn't felt that the one or two tri's he does a year is worth the expense of getting another bike.
