Don't let equipment stop you from competing in your first triathlon.
* Wetsuits are optional, but I do recommend that you use one (they help you float and make the swim a bit easier). You can rent them online and at stores around the area.
* Use any bike that you have. I used my cushy hybrid for my first triathlon, and Jason borrowed his dad's hybrid - it really doesn't matter if you aren't in it to win it.
I'll give more tips on equipment as we get closer to the event.
