Hi Just2Tri
My guess (based on what i've learned from the forum folk) is (in order):
Pedals and shoes
Tri-bars
Wheels
I can't give any other specifics as i'll be learning as much as you!

Thanks for your advice!
Make sure you go and try them on before buying as a good fit is important.
That much? Blimey. I really need to speak to the WAT officer about this...
I really recommend getting some. JEJAMESCYCLES.co.uk had a sale the other day. I got mine there. I did pop down the LBS and tried some on before buying.
I agree as I got Look Keo Classic and Shimano Tri shoes from Santa. First time I tried to use them however I feel on side, couldn't unclip and fell onto my grass. Didn't even get out the garden!!
After that I felt my times were so much better.
Getting out of the pedals is scary to begin with, but you just have to get on with it. Just concentrate and remember you need to get out when you're coming to a stop. I mostly get out well before any junctions - its easy to get back in if the lights change. BTW - clipping out is kind of a 'heel out' thing - move your heel out, and away from the bike.
Will do my Thames Turbo tri on Monday with toe clips and trainers, target time is sub 1.25, and then might do the same one in August and see the improvement.
Very excited now with my first tri coming up and starting to feel the nerves. I will do transition training over the weekend, have been jumping out of the shower practicing to put socks on wet feet every morning this week ... the kids think it is hilarious and now do not want to dry off after their bath/shower either! Well, get them used to it early I say!
Completed a bike/run brick yesterday and did a slow 1.5k swim this morning. Two more easy days commuting to work (40k each day) and one more easy run tomorrow. Nothing planned for Saturday and Sunday ....
Cannot wait to go from multi-sport enthusiast to becoming a triathlete! Again, thanks for all the support, advice and help from this forum!
