Training for the Triathlon has been a little more expensive than I had anticipated.  I went to the bike shop on South Street tonight and bought some equipment: shoes, pedals, and a helmet.  Luckily, I have a friend of the family who has been biking for years and is going to lend me a decent road bike.

Shamino Road Shoes: $100

Look Classic Pedals: $100

Helmet: $50

Grand total: $250!

It was an expensive day.

Not Having to buy a whole bike: -$1,000 (Thanks Steve)
