1.0 out of 5 stars
Dissapointed,
By Ramon Wayne Gardner (North Aurora, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Book of Triathlons (Paperback)
I was fooled when I read the back cover and Scott Tinley's recommendation. The book is total fluff. Ms. Edwards tries so hard to cover everything, she ends up covering nothing in any worthwhile detail. I spent less money on the Triathlete's Training Bible by Joe Freil and it was worth so much more. For beginner triathletes, there are much better books. (Swim/Bike/Run by Wes Hobson and even Triathlon 101) For current triathletes looking to improve, stick with Joe Freil's Bible.

All you need to know to "complete a triathlon!",
By GTL (AUSTIN, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Book of Triathlons (Paperback)
For both the novice and the experienced, this book offers triathletes all they need to know to finish the race ahead of the pack. There's detailed information on how to rate yourself physically in swimming, bicycling, and running and refine your skills at each; how to improve fitness for peak performance; develop a training program; keep a training log; cope with hazards and avoid injury; select the right apparel and equipment; eat properly in training and during the race; and condition the "mental muscle" as well as your heart--There is a great section on training using your heart rate monitor that is particularly informing for those just getting started with a heart rate monitor--all in all, I thought it was very complete, precise and to the point--Lots of good tips and helpful information for the Newbie and more experienced. I keep it handy for referencing and recommend it to those who are new to the sport or looking for ways to improve.

Great reference and motivation inside,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Book of Triathlons (Paperback)
I became hooked on this book when I did my first Triathlon last autumn. I felt it gave me the information I needed and the upbeat way it was presented just added to my excitement. I can tell that the author is completely in love with triathlon and wants to see others have the same kind of fun she does. I keep this book handy and have referred to it several times this spring as I train for the three tri's I plan to do this summer. The book is my main triathlon reference and I very much recommend it.
