Let's say the cost of doing your first Ironman is not too far off than the first year of college cost. I bought most everything I needed, but of couse, there is always more to buy. This list is actually just to remind myself what's on the "to purchase list."

New saddle
Bike trainer
Running shoes

Want:
Garmin 810xt
