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.
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.

If you only wanna do one half, get a cheap and used road bike. In fact, I’d recommend a power meter on a road bike before a tri bike with no power meter. I’ve got an $8000 bike with $1700 worth of wheels and an $900 power meter, but once again-I’m all in!
