I want to discuss my own experience by suggesting what NOT to do!

1. It's fitness not your gear
Three sports, each with its own array of the latest and greater expensive equipment. Glossy publications full of ads attempting to sell you the hottest carbon aero widget or product. For reasons unknown, triathlon features a culture of shopping for speed as opposed to learning how to prepare and race more properly. The big point is, it's about the engine (YOU), not the $$$ parts hanging off of your bike. Invest in yourself, your multi sport training as well as your fitness early on; Save the $$$ products for later.

2. Thinking the Swim is an Exercise in Fitness

If you wish to ride faster you need to train faster and the time to begin is as soon as you jump on that bike. Work as hard that you can for as long as you can, then simply recover and do it
