Gear Priority List

Hey all,
Just for fun I thought I would share my "gear list" with you all, in the order I purchased stuff. I am curious to hear from veterans on what they would have done differently ("you bought what?!" "you bought this before that?!") , or things I should add to my wish list.

As a side note - I started this adventure with some old running shoes, a swimsuit, and a Trek 7000 hybrid. The very first thing I wanted to do was go buy a used road bike, but my wife put the kibosh on that until I at least finished my first tri.

My purchase list - in order:
-New running shoes
-New digital watch
-Gym membership (I gotta swim somewhere!)
-Random workout clothes (some shorts and dry-fit shirt)
-Clipless pedals & shoes (figure I can transfer these to a new bike later)
-Bar ends for the Trek
-Tri-Suit

Wish List:
-Wet-suit (my first tri is only a 500m swim. Yes I'll be a little slower & colder, but I figure I will put up the $ after this event)
-Used road bike

So what am I leaving off? What do other newbies lists look like? What is on the veterans' "wish list"? Keep in mind I am not planning on winning anything - but like to be relatively competitive.
