For the Bike

• Bike — A road bike's lighter frame and narrower tires will be faster than a mountain bike, but lots of first-timers use whatever kind of bike they have.

• Shoes — These can be your running shoes used with toe clips on your pedals or rigid biking shoes with cleats that attach to the pedals. Stiffer soled bike shoes deliver more power to your pedal stroke and can prevent your feet from going numb as you ride.

• Helmet — Any approved bike helmet that fits. You will need one.

• Sunglasses — Protects your eyes from glare and grit on the road.

• Bike Gloves — For short (sprint-distance) races you can omit these to save time. Your hands probably won't feel the difference. It is nice to have on longer rides.

• Shirt — You may already be in your swimsuit or the top you wore in the swim. You may like to have a dry shirt on in cooler conditions.

• Bike Shorts — (Optional). You may wear a tri suit which has a thin pad for the entire race.

• Socks — (Optional). Cotton will cause blisters.

• Water Bottles — One, two. Depends on the distance and the temperature.

• Bike Pump — Attach one to your bike's frame.

• Spare Tube/Patch Kit — Keep in a small under-seat bag. Nothing is more frustrating than standing on the sidelines during a race with no way to fix your tire. You will also need to know how to fix a flat or change your tire.

• Bike Computer — (Optional). Nice to have to keep track of distance, time and speed.

For the Run

• Running Shoes — You can also add speed laces to save time.

• Socks — You will likely want socks for the run to prevent blisters.

• Sun Hat — Shade your face.

• Race Belt — (Optional). Allows you to attach your race number quickly after the bike leg.

For the canoe/kayak

• Aqua Shoes (or any shoe)
• Helmet
• Life jacket
• Canoe/kayak (sea kayak is best)
• Paddle
• Cold weather gear (if competing in cold weather)

For Transitions

• Towel — To dry off as well as to wipe your feet off between the swim and biking.

• Gels, Bars, Sports Drink — Keep nearby when you bike ride and run.

• Sunscreen — Apply before the bike or run so that you do not burn.

• Day Pack or Duffel Bag — You need to carry your stuff, right?

Other Gear to Consider

• Sports Watch — (Optional). This does not have to be expensive helps you with training and pacing.

• Heart Rate Monitor — (Optional). Helps keep you within your target heart-rate zone when you train.
