 Has It All! Feb 05, 2010
This book has everything you need to know about triathlon training, from sprint triathlons to the full ironman. Here are the following topics covered in the book: origins of triathlon, getting the right gear (very helpful), swim, cycle, run, tackling your training, nutrition, race day, aches and pains and the world's greatest races. The book has great/realistic pictures. It covers the right gear you need to be successful from breaking down what you need and what you can do without. It also gives training programs for all levels of triathlons and it very easy to understand. This book has it all.

Great seller, Quick Shipping Sep 14, 2009
Training for Triathlons is a lot easier after reading this, I read it quickly and followed several workouts and already feel stronger after a couple weeks.

Excellent book about triathlons Jun 26, 2008
I am new to triathlons but have been an avid runner for years. This book thoroughly describes how to become a triathlete. It has detailed training plans for anyone from a beginner to an experienced triathlete. I can see myself using this book for years to come.

Great for the very beginner interested in testing themselves May 27, 2007
The book breaks down tough terms and products with recommendations on the best overall gear to use during the race. The fitness plans forced me to take a serious look at my swimming endurance. I can run and bike but the book helped me train my way into this critical portion of the race.

 Belongs on the coffee table... Jan 09, 2006
The best *looking*, but far from best, book I've found on triathlons. Its heavy, glossy pages with full-color photos make it very appealing on the surface, but sadly it lacks any depth. It offers cursory explanations of various aspects of the sport, and sprinkles in a little bit of good advice here and there, but that's about it as far as content goes. It fails to include some crucial aspects of training - such as weight training - completely!
In the end, this book is ultimately better suited for your coffee table than your bookshelf. Complete newcomers to triathlons may get a little out of it, but I think anyone seriously interested in the sport would be better off reading The Triathlete's Training Bible by Joe Friel.
