A must have Apr 16, 2010
I loved this book. A great read for triathletes of all levels. Having followed triathlons for years I was aware of the women who contributed their expertise in various chapters. I got lots of good tips and particularly loved the training schedule.

missing page Jan 25, 2010
So far this book looks ver informative and I am excited to read more. However, I was a very surprised to find I was missing page four of my book. Instead of page four I got page five doubled. I don't think it is going to be a big deal, however, I was interested in what I was missing from that page. It was the end of a swimming intro and beginning of a bike intro. Oh well...I should be fine. And, if I really do bad on my next triathlon at least I have an excuse. haha j/k

So far I would recommend this book to others

Good for beginner triathletes Sep 11, 2009
I have read and reread parts of this book first as a "wanna be" triathlete and now going into my third tri am still referring to it. Good training examples for all distances and it's nice that it gives examples for beginners and those with a solid base.

Excellent! Jul 15, 2008
This book is full of great workout schedules, useful advice and tips from pros and detailed information on equipment, drills and nutrition. Definitely a fantastic way for anyone to either get started or continue on their journey toward triathlon success. I read it cover to cover and have used it continuously for 2 seasons now. Wonderful resource!

The Woman Triathlete Jul 22, 2007
I am going to use this book to train a 16 year girl triathlete in Surat, India, since there is not a single qualified coach in this area. I feel that I can use this book to understand the sport in detail and guide her during training for the next National School Game. This is going to be my bible for training the triathlete.
