Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Although the triathlon, which combines swimming, bicycling and running in sequence, has only recently become popular, its appeal is so great that some say it has become the preferred form of competition for the "high-tech super jocks of the '80s." Scott, twice winner of the Hawaii Ironman contest (triathlon's "Superbowl," open also to women), and Plant, founder and publisher of Running & Training News, engagingly discuss the fascination and challenge of the sport in an anecdotal, "how-I-did-it" style. Although they scrimp on nutrition and are silent about strength-building exercises for these grueling components of the triathlon, they offer thorough coverage of incremental and overall integrative training plus shrewd guidance on competition strategy and tactics.

From Library Journal
You might expect a book about triath lons by one of the world's most suc cessful triathletes to give great advice on swimming, biking, and running tech nique, and on nutrition and competi tion. Unfortunately, Tinley's doesn't. He does give lip service to the three events, and he sets up a sample training program aimed at different levels of triathletes, from novice to professional. But this is done in an almost haphazard manner. The real strengths here are the stories by Tinley of his experiences both racing and training, and excerpts of articles by Plant from Running & Triathlon News. Curiously absent is an account of Tinley's most recent 1985 Ironman victory. Buy this to learn about top-notch, competitive triath letes; buy Sally Edwards's Triathlon: a triple fitness sport (Contemporary Bks., 1983) to learn about triathlon ing. Thomas K. Fry, UCLA Libs.
