Summary: Very inspirational, but too basic
Comment: Steven Jonas does a very good job motivating 1st timers for a triathlon, but if you've ever participated in ANY sport competitively, this book is just too basic. It's more of a primer for healthy living with basic stretching, basic swim,bike & run skills included. Fantastic for anyone starting an excerise program for the 1st time, but definitely not for anyone remotely athletic.

Rating: 4
Summary: Good beginner info
Comment: I read this book before competing in my first triathlon and found it extremely helpful and supportive. I recommend it to anyone who is considering training for a triathlon. Jonas is great at making you feel like you can accomplish anything. His advice is simple and solid. My only criticism is that he focuses too little on female triathletes. Most of his clothing and equipment advice is male-oriented.

Rating: 4
Summary: Great information source for First Timers!
Comment: I would say that this book can truly motivate those to get started on their first Triatholon with realistic goals in mind. The author gives realistic goals for those who are about to embark on a unfamilur journey into Triatholoning! Everywhere from Training to Technique to stoping for a Hamburger in the middle of a Triatholon. The author is so easy to relate to, and very entertaining! Can't wait to start my first Triatholon!
