I post weekly update videos about my journey, so I hope you stick around and follow along! Enjoy 🫶🏽

This is super informative, but I just wanted to give some hope to those of us who can't spend that much! I'm a broke college student doing a 70.4 triathlon this weekend and I've spent a total of $600. There are definitely ways to make cuts when needed and where appropriate for you so don't lose hope if you dream to do long distance triathlon on a budget!
Oh wow $600?! That's really impressive! How were able to make so many budget cuts especially with registration alone being pretty pricy?
Yeah! Well, first off, I found a grassroots event. So, registration was a fraction of what it is at Ironman events ($200). I am borrowing someone's bike for the race itself and I trained on the bike I use for all my transportation for school (Giant Contend AR). So, if I had to purchase a bike the price would be wayyy higher.
The total expenditure tallies up to $6,890, with a last-minute addition of $300 for a trisuit.
Thank you, Emelyn for the transparency of costs. I believe, you need to include costs associated with coffee shops during the training as well. BTW, I am on 6 star marathon majors journey and I am experiencing similar cost per a marathon with air and accommodation as well. Good luck with your training. I am hoping to see you at the BMO half.
Yes I mentioned in my video that I didn't include it in my expenses since there was too much for me to count 😅 Oooh yeah especialy world major marathons - they can get very expensive!! And thank you! I will for sure be there at BMO 😊
Super intresting!! So much fun to watch your whole journey (: which saucony runningshoes do you have?
aw thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you think so :) I currently have a few different pairs - Kinvaras, Rides and the Endorphin collection!
I also used a trek! (Domane here) not the sickest fastest ride but did well enough and didn't make my husband have a heart attack. I had a tri suit from Amazon of all places that was fine even for a 70.3 but spent the money for a good wetsuit during a black Friday sale. You're right. Every little bit helps
haha yes i agree about the Domane! ooh nice find for the trisuit and no chafing either?
I didn’t have any chafing issues. I did test run it a few times with bike workouts /brick runs to see but I also used an inordinate amount of triglide spray to make sure I could get in and out the wetsuit so that probably helped with the neck and leg openings lol😂
I was glad to find a two piece I know the all in one is “it” so it seems but for a quick bathroom stop I would rather shorts and a top. And I can size each piece better to my frame (xs top sm bottom)
Just the increase in food I consumed the past nine months is probably in the $thousands 😂
🤣🤣🤣 omg i don't even want to talk about all the food (and double that) i had to buy just to keep this training up LOL
Oooof! We're gonna be living off rice and beans for the rest of the year 😅
😬😬😬
Investments!! In happiness & health 🫶🏼
yes soo true!! 💯
