What do I need for my 1st triathlon?

It was so good to see so many of you at the gear seminar a couple of weeks ago.  For those of you who weren't able to come, below I have listed the gear you need for your first triathlon.  If you have any questions about any of this stuff, please leave a comment or shoot me an email.

What do I need for my race?

Tri shorts - Like bike shorts with a smaller pad that dries quickly.  These are a must!
Top - I use a workout top made from a tech material that has a shelf bra.

Wetsuit (not required)
Ear plugs/nose clip (if needed)
