Buy this book if you're new (or if you're not!)

"Slow Fat Triathlete" is a riot...You don't have to be slow or fat to appreciate it! (Even though I am - slow, not so fat)...

It's a chuckle-out-loud kind of read, and you will certainly find something from it to relate to. I especially like the PRSS - the Post Race Stupidity Syndrome you experience at the end of a race when you can't figure out how to repack your gear or what to eat, or where to sit, or how to get home!

I swear I'm not on the payroll but I'm telling everyone to buy it! (And if they don't, they're getting it for Christmas!)

Great for newbies, kind of newbies (like me) and probably still for the very experienced!

i took a look at this book while hanging out a Boarder a few weeks ago. it did seem funny though I did not buy it. seemed like a 'chic' book and I mean that in a good way. I would definately conside buying it.

another great tri book is "becomming an Ironman'. yes it is geared to folks doing an IM - but really it is simply a very inspirational book - relates the stories of pro and age group (very average age groupers) struggles to do their first IM. Very moving and would be a motivating book for anyone doing tris

Hi,
I picked up the book this weekend - I love it, being overweight and all - only read a few chapters but I find it really helpful and informative.
Thanks for the recomendation.

This book is my bible! I thought it was very funny and also had some good information for newbies.
