    Good basic fundamental triathlon book

    Although this book is marketed as half-ironman training manual, it's a pretty good all-around book for beginners through advanced triathletes. If you already have TRIATHLETE'S TRAINING BIBLE in this series, you'll like the long-course specialized training and updated technology tips, but if you don't have it, it has a lot of the same fundamental approach. It's a much bigger book than most other triathlon volumes (372 pages), as big as the TRAINING BIBLE and bigger even than GOING LONG. Lots of excellent diagrams, drawings and photos to describe technique and inspire. This book has a unique perspective on the sport since the author came from a background training astronauts at NASA for long-term spaceflight. He drops a few stories from this experience and from his own racing career into the book, and I found these spiced up the training manual subjects. The coverage of each of the three sports is comprehensive, and beginners through intermediate could do well with nothing but this book for info.
