In order to not start a new thread...

What would be the cheapest option for a half iron man? The Cervelo P3 is what a buddy of mine used in Chattanooga. They are at least 1500 used. I couldn’t possibly justify that for what is likely a one time deal.

you could do it on a $500 road bike with clip on aero bars... but the Cervelo is certainly the better option

If it's only one time and just to finish, get a road bike. That will be the best financial decision.

A tri bike will cut a lot of time though. Intro bikes start at around 2k MSRP, but deals can be found. Used is the way to go for a good deal. Cervelo is probably the most expensive brand, but holds its value well. You can look at Felt B series. It's a great value bike and there are probably good used deals.

Dont forget all the other stuff though. Pedals, shoes, helmet, tri suit, wetsuit, etc. can all add up to over 500 easily. Triathlon is expensive.
