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!
Ron is correct. "Triathlon on a budget" Love it!
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......
