Essential Gear for Your First Triathlon
An overpriced bike and a high-tech wetsuit to complete your first triathlon? Not true. For your first race, you probably already have almost everything you need, or you can borrow it. In this module, you'll learn to make your minimum equipment list, understand what each piece is for, and most importantly, distinguish between what's essential and what can wait. The goal is simple: start calmly and safely, without breaking the bank.
