    GREAT BOOK FOR STARTING OUT IN TRIATHLONS!!!

    First off, I do not have the nook version of this book but I do have the print version.

    I used this book and its twelve week program to do my first sprint tri two years ago and then I did a second one three weeks later! Used the Olympic program on year two and did a few sprints and two Olys.

    The book has programs for everything from sprint to full iron races. It even has a run/walk program to build up your run before starting tri training. It has a very nice breakdown of each leg as well as transitions. Lots of info on which equipment is needed and which is nice but not necessary. Strength training and stretching section. Lots of motivational tips to keep you going.

    Honestly, if you are thinking of giving triathlons a go, YOU CANNOT GO WRONG WITH THIS BOOK!!!
