5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a triathlon book you WANT to read!, October 3, 2008

By	Tony Lillios - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have owned many triathlon books throughout the years and have NOT finished them all. Mostly I lose steam in the mumbo jumbo and the reason I love doing the sport in the first place evaporates. This book is not only filled with readily accessible information, it has pictures (oooohhhh pictures), stories, and quotes from the big guns to newbies. It captures the various aspects of the sport in depth in a to-the-point written-for-me manner. It not only informs, but inspires.

This one is a keeper.
