Hi all. Did a Google search to learn about tips for beginners into the tri world and it brought me. So I figured I would join and read more. This was my first post I clicked into since I am planning on sprint in the next couple of months. Before I clutter the board anymore, is there a good reference to start reading. My big issue right now is trying to find an affordable used road bike for my first event. I have some friends who have done Iron Man and others who have been riding bikes for a bit. I keep asking them about bikes I see on Craigslist or other local market sites and keep getting mixed responses. So just looking for some other guidance on what would be a good buy or not. Thank you and looking forward to learning from the board.
