I run around 8 miles a day bike bike about 10 miles easily on weekends
and swim in the summer and winter on a swim team. Physically am I fit
for a triathlon that has 500yd swim 11 miles biking and 5k run? What
equipment do I need? I hav goggles, swim suit, bike, and running
shoes. Do I need special biking pants or it doesn't matter? How
should I do transitions.

Thanks for you help,
Gary

Here's what you need

You're good to go with a sprint , and probably will go all the way to
half and full ironman. Keep training.
