- Triathlon can get expensive quickly, but don't let that deter you! As a full time single parent, I couldn't afford to spend a lot of money when I got started in triathlon, but I wanted to continue in the sport, so I got creative. This video covers my "hacks" for saving money on triathlon equipment and "must haves" without going broke. I even discuss how I landed triathlon gear for free! I also cover my picks for "this" (cheap version) instead of "that" (expensive version) to highlight affordable options that also provide great value!
Items I cover in the video:
- USA Triathlon Membership
- Bike
- Bike Trainer
- Triathlon Kit
- Goggles
- Wet Suite
- Cycling Helmet
- Sunglasses
- Running Shoes
- Fitness Watch
- And More!

I hope you enjoyed this video and it helps you save some money in a sport that has a reputation for being expensive. My goal has always been to "get more people into triathlon" because I know from personal experience, how much it changed my life (for the better). I know that cost is a big barrier for many - it certainly was for me on a single mom budget. But I made it work and so can you!
Do you have any money saving tips for triathlon? Please drop your recommendations down in the comments.
As always, thank you for watching - ROCK ON!

I’m doing my first tri this weekend (Panama City, FL 70.3) and never thought about the flip flops for before the start. THANK YOU!!
So glad that the flip flop tip is helpful! You will do great! Have a blast!
Thank you! Thank heavens for Charles who has the great mic! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
🐸🐸🐸 listening mode. Love the sound
Thanks Oscar! Thank goodness for Charles and his great mic!
Woooo I love this!!
Thank you! I figured I would share my hacks bc everyone could use some extra money! 😊🙏🙌
on the subject of sunglasses. you said polarized lenses are really important. How are they important for tri?
I am pulling from a purely cycling experience where polarization does not make a difference. so im curious how polarization is important in tri
I think it’s a personalized preference. When given the option, I will always choose polarized due to better riding visibility, especially on sunny days. But, you don’t have to have them. I would practice riding with your sunglasses and see which ones you prefer :)
If you get into triathlon, you will most definitely go broke 😂😂
Haha it seems to be the case! 😆 Hopefully my tips helped others to get creative. That way they can save money and put that money towards more races 🤣🤣🤣
