Bike
Read moreThe bike portion of a triathlon is certainly the most expensive to buy equipment for. Many people already own a mountain bike, but a mountain bike will be far slower and require much more effort than a road bike will. Even an inexpensive road bike could easily cut your time by 30% compared to a mountain bike, which could easily mean 30 fewer minutes of riding in your triathlon. Don't forget you will need a helmet, triathlon rules forbid riding without one.
