My daughter, 13, is a club swimmer, Captain of her school year XC team, falls of bikes alot, and wants to try a triathlon.
I'd be grateful for any advice about suitable events (we live Beds / Bucks), Kit, bikes etc.. it would be nice for her to have suitable kit so that she can enjoy an event but don't won't to spend a fortune until / if she decides that she'd like to follow the sport.
Training she will get from her sports involvement and riding with me.
Many thanks in advance.

As for kit I think you have the right idea in not going crazy. Any bike will be ok to race on as long as it's in good condition. Decent running shoes are important for anyone as well as a helmet. You will probably have a better idea of kit when you find out about events. I don't know if any junior races are held in open water, the Kings Langley race will be pool based.
Like I say, you will probably get the best advice by speaking to clubs. Good luck and I hope your daughter enjoys it.
