Review # 1 was written on 2015-12-07 00:00:00 Ace Jackson This is a helpful primer for someone just who is just about to enter their first or second triathlon. After registering for my first Olympic distance event, I bought the book and quickly read it straight through; it gave me a good foundation with which to approach gear retailers, my own training schedule, diet, and realistic expectations for race day. In some ways it reads like a series of "tips-for-beginners" articles that you might read in a Tri magazine. Even though I didn't realize it fully when as I was reading, there are many bits of useful information that I simply did not know beforehand (e.g., the importance of aerobars, the utility of carbohydrate gels, the centrality of skill and form in swimming, etc.). I fully expect a that my training from this point forward will be much more effective for having read this book; if for no other reason than that I will seek out competent coaches rather than go it alone!

Review # 2 was written on 2018-08-05 00:00:00 Liza Macfadden This book is excellent! I did my first triathlon in the summer of 2010 and thanks to this book, I was prepared and successful. This book had all the answers for a first time triathlete. From training plans, to proper equipment, to transition issues, to what to eat, nutrition during training,and for me most importantly, how to approach the swim. This book outlined approaches to each component of the triathlon both mentally and physically. Plus, a few motivational stories to help reinforce the points. A really worthwhile book.
