Inspirational book to get you hooked on triathlons
Got this book hot of the press and have already given it away!!!! To another aspiring triathlete. Well laid out book for the newcomer to the sport.
Gives totally non-scarey training plans to get you to your first season of competing/completing triathlons and beyond.
Covers most of the questions I had when I was entering my first season, wish this book had been about then.
Joe Beer has a positive attitude and this comes across in this book.
Also gives useful tips from elite athletes and age groupers alike.

Good Introductory Guide to Triathlon
I've only recently taken up triathlon and I found this book very helpful. It is well laid out and covers all the basics. There are other books that go into more detail, but as a first introduction I'd recommend this one. It is also more relevant to the UK triathlon season than several other books on the market.
