My daughter has done one Ironman and is now training for her second at Lake Placid, NY. These are extraordinary athletes who deserve every encouragement and bonus you can give them.
It was on her Xmas list and I was honored to get it for her!

This review is from: 30 Years of the Ironman Triathlon World Championship (Ironman Edition) (Hardcover)
I purchased this as a gift for someone who completed the ironman this year.
She loved it so I think that says it all! The pictures are beautiful (its a little smaller than I thought it would be - 10x10 I believe) Thats actually a PLUS. I had thought it would be one of those huge unbookshelfable books (yes I just made that word up!)
