5 out of 5 stars.  General opinion, September 9, 2010
I've been reading for some weeks this book (because it's a big one)and it's really complete, well structured and with good concepts about this multisport. I strongly recommend it

5 out of 5 stars.  Absolutely the best!, July 24, 2010
I'm the kind of guy who will sit down at Barnes and Noble for an hour and speed-read all of the books of a given category before buying, and I did the same for triathlon. This is by far the most comprehensive and well-put-together book in my opinion. As a serious collegiate triathlete, this book has all of the great details that will combine to give me a breakthrough in all 3 triathlon disciplines and a much smarter and structured training plan. Very well organized and not terribly dense. The beginning triathlete with little desire for top-3 age group finishes or better might find that it feels like a college textbook, but it hits all of the right subjects(and all race distances) at just the right depth for me. Worth every penny!

5 out of 5 stars.  Best multi-sport training manual...PERIOD., July 18, 2010
No kidding, this is the best training manual on multi-sport. I've used editions 1 & 2. This one is the updated version of those same manuals, but with much more info and greater specifics on types of training. Lots of info. If coupled with a solid sports nutrition text (see my other reviews), you should be far ahead of WHEREVER you are now.

1 out of 5 stars.  Way too detailed to be useful, June 7, 2010
I'm new to triathlons and wanted a guide to tell me what I needed to do to complete an Olympic triathlon over 3 months. This book was about as concise and as useful a guide as the "real" bible. Each section begins with meandering paragraphs with unneccessary and conflicting metaphors. There is no chapter that gives you a series of training schedules to choose from. It's about the length and size of a college economics textbook - NOT what I needed.

If you are already very familiar with triathlons and want a lengthy and detailed discussion of the finer points of technique with a HELL of a lot of excess text, this may be useful. I just don't have the time.

5 out of 5 stars.  GREAT RESOURCE, May 10, 2010
This book is the perfect resource for anyone getting ready to train for an Ironman...or if you are already a seasoned triathlete.
