Setting up your equipment (athlete)

Where this lives

/my-equipment/ is your equipment inventory. Each piece you register can be referenced on race plans and is used by calculators that depend on the gear.

What to enter

Bikes

For each bike you race or train on:

• Name (e.g. "Cervelo P5 race bike").
• Type (tri, road, gravel, TT, MTB).
• Frame weight and total weight with race setup.
• Position dimensions (saddle height, drop, reach) if known.
• Wheels (default and race day).
• Crank arm length, chainring sizes.

This drives bike power-to-weight pacing and is also used in aerodynamic adjustments.

Wheels

Each wheel set you race on, with depth and weight. Used in wind adjustment.

Run shoes

The shoes you race in. Used in metabolic cost adjustment (carbon plate shoes shift the running economy curve).

Wetsuit and skinsuit

Brand and model, plus the conditions where you wear which.

Helmet

Brand, model, ventilation class. Used in heat planning.

Race day kit

What you typically race in (top, shorts, calf sleeves, sunglasses). Mostly for the brief checklist.

Updating after a change

Update equipment any time you buy or change something. The most important triggers for an update:

• New race bike or position change.
• New wheels (especially if depth or weight changes).
• New shoes you plan to race in.
• Outgrown or damaged kit.

Why this matters even if you only train

Even if you only do casual training, equipment helps your coach:

• Diagnose why power numbers shifted (new bike fit, new crank length).
• Pick appropriate sessions (tri bike vs road bike sessions).
• Catch obvious mismatches before a race (you registered a race with wetsuit but no wetsuit in your inventory).
