    Hey Guys!

    Im a complete newbie looking to give triathalon a go. Im currently in training. Just a few questions if you please

    Whats a good beginner triathalon/marathon to start with?

    If I were to take part in the triathalon would I have to buy all necessary equipment like bike, wet suits etc?

    If so wheres a good place to purchase these on the cheap?


    Where can I find a list of all up and coming events and how do I register?

    Im looking to get very involved over the summer, Any help would be much appreciated...

    Thanks so much...

    Nappy

    TriAthlone would be a perfect one to start off with. Do the Sprint. Its European Championships this year so there will be a great buzz about the event.

    Triathlonireland website should have a list of all events.

    You can rent a wetsuit, and you dont need a racer bike (although most people seem to have one, I was an exception).
