Too much or too little...?

I have been reading stuff on the internet about training for a triathlon. Some sites say one of the worst things a newbie can do with their training is to over train. Another site says one of the worst things a newbie can do is under train. I have not worked out since last Thursday (and that was only riding my bike to work and back). I had a busy day at work on Friday and slept in Saturday and Sunday. So I am under training at this point or what? I think that was just laziness getting the best of me and that I should worry about under or over training. I know my body and I will know what is too much or too little. Anyways, here is what I did today.

Swim: 1000 m in about 30 mins. Swimming is getting easier but it is still extremely difficult.
Lifted: back and chest muscles.
Swimming really gets the chest and back muscles tired. 185 pounds felt much heavier today than usual.

In reply to my dad's email about western movies here is today's top 5;
Top Five Westerns:
1. Lonesome Dove
2. Tombstone
3. Young Guns
4. Open Range
5. Brokeback Mountain (just kidding)
5. Shane

Honorable Mention:
3:10 to Yuma
Unforgiven
Silverado
