Yeah you do.

A properly fitted tri bike with a BTA bottle setup and even just some really basic 50mm used roadie wheels will be faster than all the "add ons" you can do to a modern aero road bike. Also more stable and easier to ride. You just swam, you have tired arms..........you really want to try to do the Belgian tuck on the hoods for a couple hours?

If you're on a budget, get a used Cervelo P2 frameset and build that up. Do a Wheelbuilder disc cover over a cheaper training wheel. Buy speed laces for the running shoes.

You can probably build up a used P2 frame with the known aero mods in 11speed trim for under $1000.

Basically this: but I'd find a frame to build up so you can get 11spd stuff on it
