 1 |  Subject: Newb I am a 33 yr old who has decided over the last year to try a couple of sprint tris in Kansas. Looking forward to the training (I love the bike) and seeing what this has to offer. Any tips on how to do all of this without spending thousands would be great!! Dano |

Master 6834      Englewood, Florida | Subject: RE: Newb Welcome to BT. I hope that you find thid place inspirational and helpful. There are constantly questions regarding cost and finances that come up in the TriTalk forum. Another helpful tool is to get into a mentor groups. They are open now and there are a bunch of people in there that can help you get the most bang for your buck. Most of all, enjoy the ride! |

Champion 13323 | Subject: RE: Newb All you need is a good pair of silicone goggles (not foam) and a fitted pair of running shoes. It also helps if the bike fits you but a used - even new mountain bike from Walmart works great - that is how I started. I still train in baggy swim pants...so 'yes', it can be as cheap as you want...no more than a few hundred $. Happy New Year! |

You will need a approved helmet to race. I would strongly suggest to get it fitted and use it in training. Good luck and have fun...... |
