I did my first tri on a Kona Dew hybrid; bedecked with fenders, rack, and saddle with springs.
I loved that bike, it was perfectly fine for my tri. I got a kick out of passing folks in full road gear on carbon road bikes while riding my sturdy steed!
A hybrid is a lovely bike to start with. Sweet-tempered, easy-going, and forgiving bikes. Their prices are generally on the lower end (around $400) and if you buy a different bike later for other activities, the hybrid makes a GREAT utility bike and back up bike.
