5 out of 5 stars.  Ironman Bible, June 29, 2010
I was unbelievably satisfied with this book. It covered everything you could ever want or need to know about the Ironman triathlon and would be helpful for anyone training for the race including novices and advanced athletes. If you are thinking about participating in this crazy race or just want to know more about it, I would definitely recommend this book.

4 out of 5 stars.  A complete, exclusively for IronMan Guide, April 8, 2010
This is a great book. Honest, to the point, complete and well written.
In many ways, similar to "Triathlon Training Bible", from the same author. But this one is focused in preparing for the IronMan.
Not a long read, it can make you close to an expert, with little invested time and effort.
If you are only interested in the IronMan, this is the book for you.

5 out of 5 stars.  A Must Have, March 15, 2010
A must have if you are thinking about going long. I have looked everywhere and read a lot. This is the bible of triathlon information!

2 out of 5 stars.  same old story, January 18, 2010
Really, two stars might be a bit generous. If you've ever subscribed to Runner's World, or Triathlete Magazine, or read another book on triathlon, you are not going to get much new from this book. It merely re-inforces what you already know, so don't hope for any breakthrough information.

I really enjoyed this book. It helped me decide to do a half an ironman in August 2010.
Thank You
