This review is from: Triathlon Training For Dummies (Paperback)
I found this book to be pretty helpful in explaining the basics of a Triathlon to the uniniated. I didn't understand how the transitions worked and never heard of tri suits until I read this book. It's written in that positive easy to read Dummies style. If you're thinking of doing your first Tri, I highly recommend it.

This review is from: Triathlon Training For Dummies (Paperback)
This book offers good advice for someone who has little knowledge about triathlons. The beginning even offers encouragement for choosing to train for one. My husband felt the book was geared more toward women athletes, but he still read it. Overall, a good starting point.
