- 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 was a great watch🥳
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 $1k on swimming gear + swimming lessons to get better, and I still haven't even done my first triathlon. This sport is amazing but it is also such a money pit.
Wow, seems like we’re in the same boat! I congratulate your journey so far and would love to hear how your first one goes! All the best!
which watch do you have?? and any reason why not garmin I feel like everyone in this space has a garmin
Great question, I love it! I have the COROS pace 3. I had the garmin forerunner 955 when I first started running but I found it was heavy, clunky and too much color. I wanted something sleek, light and durable. Coros also has an AMAZING BATTERY at an amazing price! 7 days or more on one charge and found with triathlons, ironmans and long bike rides, a healthy battery is a necessity. Did a ton of research so I am glad I can finally share it! **not sponsored**(but coros please sponsor me)
@@trihards_16 thats awesome to hear I am actually between coros pace 3 and fr955 also Ill have to dig deeper into coros
Which Profile Design tri bars are these?
T1+ Carbon Aerobars, I’m a fan so far!
It's very expensive. I was lucky to have a bike already from when covid was happening, but i still had to spend quite a bit on maintenance on it.
That’s awesome, what bike do you have?How often do you get maintenance done on your bike?
Power meter?
I don’t think I’m going to get a power meter, do you have one? Is it worth it?
I be surprised if you don’t end up purchasing specific Tri-Bike, if the one you have isn’t .
I have a road bike at the moment with tri extensions, TT bikes are definitely a consideration in the future
Its costs an f load 😂😂
RIP the bank account :(
pedals 30$ 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.
