The Wish List

Triathlon Gear Wish List: (to be added, edited and sighed over in the months to come)

General Equipment
  • Heartrate monitor (Polar FS1? - waterproof?)
  • Laceless laces
  • Sunglasses with swapable leases for cloudy days
  • Tri suit?
Swim
  • Wetsuit
  • Racing swim suit that doesn't have hot pink on it
  • Vaccinations to ward of typhoid from swimming in the Potomac
  • Spare pair of goggles (tinted?)
Bike
  • Aero bars
  • New bike shoes (w/ velcro straps)
  • A helmet that doesn't make me look like the stay-puff marshmallow man wearing a mushroom
  • CO2 canisters for flat tires (no bike support in either race)
  • Second water rack
Run
  • Second pair of running shoes (when do they wear out?)

Other things to figure out before the race:

What's the best snack to carry? Should you bring water and some kind of energy drink?
What kind of sunscreen is best to wear? Do you reapply it? When?
