«Excellent Book»
This is a great book. I purchased this book because I was wanted to improve my time for a sprint tri. After getting the book my workout partner and I convinced ourselves we could do an Olympic tri. I trained for the Rumpas in Bumpass Triathlon in VA. I used Tom's book for the entire 16-weeks. The weight training and day by day plan helped me tremendously. I've done tri's in the past but I never felt more structured and prepared. After my Olympic tri I did two sprint tri's. I placed 3rd in both of them. I loved Tom's chapter on mental training. It helped me during the triathlon. Never again will I get nervous or stressed out. Get the book, read it from cover to cover, apply it and I guarantee you will do better every time. GOOD LUCK!

«Good beginner book»
Good for getting to know all the vocabulary used by triathletes and wish I would have read before doing my first triathlon. It has a lot of great helps, but definitely for beginners.

«Best triathalon book.»
I found Tom's book by chance by googling myself. I always wanted to do triathalons and have used this book as my training bible the last three years. I have done sprints, olympics and a half Iron man and am working towards my first Ironman next August. Tom gives you every possble thing you need to know to finish your first triathalon and can be used a an ongoing reference for years to come. I looked through other books and have not found one that even comes close in both simplicity and comprehensiveness.
