Swimming, biking, and running all seem so simple, but put them together, throw in the space in between, and the gear requirements can start to look like a month-long trek up Everest.
But fear not: Here’s a list of the absolute necessities to get from starting gun to finish line without hauling a small town or having to sell blood.
If you're thinking about doing a sprint triathlon, this whole "cult of the aerodynamic" can be intimidating at first. However, you don't need to spend a bunch of money on triathlon-specific gear to do a triathlon. It's more than likely that you already have most of the equipment you'll need.
Here you'll find a basic gear list that has everything you need to get across a sprint triathlon finish line. (Running shoes not included because - come on - we all have a pair of those 😁)
7 Essential Gear Every Triathlete Needs For Sprint Triathlons
1 ► Swim Cap
2 ► Swim Suit
3 ► Goggles
4 ► Helmet
5 ► Bike {any bike with 2 wheels & brakes👌}
6 ► Water Bottle
7 ► $50 - 100 {to register for a local race}
A cap & shades will top you off but we figure you have a pair those already in your possession if you thinking about doing your first triathlon.
You may already have all or some of things on our 7 Essentials Sprint Triathlon Gear List in your possession. Grab them, a buddy and get out and have some fun training.
