What I really liked about this book was that their beginning program was designed for true beginners! Most beginning exercise programs start with 30 minutes ...

Good beginner info
I read this book before competing in my first triathlon and found it extremely helpful and supportive. I recommend it to anyone who is considering training for a triathlon.

Most of his clothing and equipment advice is ...
