- Welcome back everyone we are 8 weeks into the program and Ironman journey! I wanted to give you a rundown of my financial breakdown of everything I have bought so far! Added content: Got Tri bars! Thanks The Eleven for all your help! (Will you see this? probably not)
This list is so real.
I've spent $7.7k on bike gear and $1.3k on running gear since I started training in 2021 for all 3 sports. I've spent $1k on swimming gear + swimming lessons to get better, and I still haven't even done my first triathlon. This sport is amazing but it is also such a money pit.
Wow, seems like we’re in the same boat! I congratulate your journey so far and would love to hear how your first one goes! All the best!
this was a great watch🥳
It's very expensive. I was lucky to have a bike already from when covid was happening, but i still had to spend quite a bit on maintenance on it.
That’s awesome, what bike do you have?How often do you get maintenance done on your bike?
Which Profile Design tri bars are these?
T1+ Carbon Aerobars, I’m a fan so far!
I be surprised if you don’t end up purchasing specific Tri-Bike, if the one you have isn’t .
I have a road bike at the moment with tri extensions, TT bikes are definitely a consideration in the future
Power meter?
I don’t think I’m going to get a power meter, do you have one? Is it worth it?
which watch do you have?? and any reason why not garmin I feel like everyone in this space has a garmin
Great question, I love it! I have the COROS pace 3. I had the garmin forerunner 955 when I first started running but I found it was heavy, clunky and too much color. I wanted something sleek, light and durable. Coros also has an AMAZING BATTERY at an amazing price! 7 days or more on one charge and found with triathlons, ironmans and long bike rides, a healthy battery is a necessity. Did a ton of research so I am glad I can finally share it! **not sponsored**(but coros please sponsor me)
@@trihards_16 thats awesome to hear I am actually between coros pace 3 and fr955 also Ill have to dig deeper into coros
pedals 30$ and the cleats 49? something is wrong mate..
the pedals were purchased second hand and cleats were bought at MEC
Shimano cleats cost maximum 20dollars @@trihards_16
You don't need super expensive gears to finish the race. Vietnamese athlete Thanh Vu finished and became the world champion of the Swiss Ultra 2022 (deca ultra triathlon) with a 1700$ bike and road bike helmet, and some cheap glasess. 38km of swimming, 1800km of biking and 422km of running without fancy gears, and still champion of the world lol.
Its costs an f load 😂😂
RIP the bank account :(
