Subject: RE: What gear do I need for a triathlon? Specifically, Ironman 70.3 Wisconsin Hello and welcome to the fun!
For clothing, I would look into a two piece or one piece tri kit. You wear this from start to finish so you don’t have to worry about changing clothes unless you absolutely want to.
For the swim: wetsuit (if it’s a wetsuit legal race ) and goggles. That’s it. The race provides a swim cap.
For the bike: bike, helmet, bike shoes, spare kit. sunglasses.
For the run: shoes and socks. A hat or visor. A bib number belt is nice to have but not essential. Sunglasses.
Accessories: a gps watch or some other way to track pace and time. You may already have a bike computer. Anti chafing cream, nutrition including gels and drink supplements.
It’s really not as much as you think. You probably already have 95% of all the things you need. A good tri Kit makes the entire day so much easier.
Ask away with any other questions. |
