First Duathlon Advice

mikesavo2003

Hi all prob same questions prob posted here over and over. Just looking for 2 pieces of advice for my first Duathlon which is 3k run 18k bike and 3k run.
(1) should I bring my cycling shoes to use for bike or just use runners. I'm used to using cycle shows on bike but for short spin is it worth it?
(2) should I use running shorts for it or is it worth investing in a tri suit? ps hoping to do a good few of these in the future
Thanks in advance for advice guys

Question 1 yes you should and question 2 yes it is worth it or at least a pair of tri shorts. Best of luck with your first race

(1) I would go bike shoes. You generate more power more comfortably. Just practice changing.
(2) get a trisuit. Or at least some shorts you can run and bike in. If aiming to do tris go for the suit.
