Scott Tinley, one of the Big Four Triathletes, gives novice and expert triathletes an opportunity to experience triathlon through the eyes of one of triathlon's most influential and enduring figures. The several anecdotes and questions that Scott poses and provides make for a light and enjoyable reading that is more philosophical than technical

I bought this book on the recommendations of my coach who found it very funny. As he is a pro athlete I can see why he thought it would be.
However, as a non pro 2 years into the sport, while some things I could relate to and thought were very funny, others were interesting but didn't hold my attention.
If you're looking for an amusing book on the life of a pro who has amazing things that happened in the old days, it's awesome to read. I am also a woman and can't really tell how he feels about women in the sport. So, I'm scratching my head.
Overall, it's a good book worth reading.

Scott T. tells the humorous tale of extreme training and racing by intense people(ask my spouse). Its a book to enjoy over and over when itrains or snows, or if you doubt that any more training will make a difference. As wine ages gracefully, so does Scott the old warrior.
