It's well easy to go kit mad in tri and spend loads.
so first up do you have a race in mind that will be your first event?
If so what is the distance & is it an open water swim.
Like yourself I came from a running back ground and was put off in entering a race as i didn't have a road bike. My first event was a pool based sprint.
I made a few simple upgrades to my MTB, slick tyres bigger front chain ring and off i went.
Do you have a bike at the moment?
I guess it depends on how competitive you are, spending the money can buy the gear to save you time in transition and a nice road bike is quicker than a MTB and so on.
Post a little more on what you might have planned and you get all the answers on this site
All the best
