Hey guys, I have decided that I want to complete a half ironman by the time I turn 27 (one year) and a full by 28. I need your help with getting the most bang for my buck. I want to set aside $2000 for gear since this is a life goal. I already own a Tarmac Expert with full ultegra, clip on aero bars, and all cycling accessories for normal cycling/group rides/ races. I also have very nice running shoes, some tri shorts, and a wetsuit. Other than that, I don't have anything else for triathlons. I was wondering what sort of stuff I needed to shave off some time during the race and ensure a memorable experience. This $2000 does not include entry fees or cost of nutrients like gatorade and gu. So I am looking primarily for suggestions like aero helmet, tri top, bento box. That sort of stuff. Thanks guys!
