3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed!, June 16, 2000

By A Customer

This book was packed with great info. From complete workout plans for various distance triathlons to fantastic advice. The problem is that it is rather hard to read. If you can cope with a German/English style you can get alot out of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally! An outstanding "manual", February 25, 2002

By	Marcus V F Berger (Lacombe, AB Canada) - See all my reviews

This book is absolutely awesome! We finally have literature that treats the sport the way it is supposed to be treated, as an internationally-recognized and serious event. It contains all the nuts and bolts on how to be successful at practicing it. It provides the necessary technical info in a language that any international reader can understand. Finally, a book that presents useful info using the prevailing standard modern units of measurement that are the only ones recognized and accepted for the practice and organization of such events. A must for the serious practicioner!
