Customer Reviews

Great For Beginners
Written in women's magazine format. Easy to read, lots of pictures and very little jargon. If it's a huge technical tome you want with lots of facts and figures, then don't bother. If you have never competed in a triathlon before and you want to know what it's all about, then this is the book for you. Great for beginners and very encouraging.

Easy readable introduction
This book is a great easy to understand introduction to triathlon, an event I have been interested in, but until recently felt rather intimated by the idea of actually doing one. I found the women's magazing format a bit corny but the information is clear and very readable. The writers cover the basics well and provide decent advice for beginners. The style was enthusiastic and I felt motivated enough reading it to get out and start training for an event.

Triathlon book
My wife is in awe at this book. It tells her all she needs to know to make it possible to do a triathlon and in simple non technical terms. Written by women for women, this book is perfect for the female triathlete who wants the basic knowledge!
