Triathlon - Luxury or Lie?

from Tri2Thrive · host Christopher Beye & Dennis Czekalla

Think triathlon is a rich person's sport? The average triathlete spends $3,500/year — but you can get started for under $500. In this solo episode, Dennis breaks down the real costs of swim, bike and run gear, shares 5 proven budget hacks (buy off-season, join a club, ditch the supplements), reveals where you SHOULD spend money, and tells the story of racing his first triathlon on a city bike with a basket. Key insight: The best investment in triathlon isn't gear — it's consistency. A $500 bike ridden five days a week beats a $5,000 bike ridden once a week. Every time. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to cut costs, this episode has real numbers and real tips to make triathlon accessible. Sponsored by NetBox Labs (netboxlabs.com)
