Triathlon can be a very expensive sport, but it definitely doesn't need to be, especially when you first start out. In this episode, I go over 7 items needed to do a triathlon, then trim those 7 items down to 5 items. You only need FIVE items to do a triathlon! And chances are...you already have a few of the 5. So, money and gear should NOT be an issue for you to get started on racing triathlon :)
