    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

    (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.
