I have trained with and raced with elite athletes and winners from all over the world but I started t kwing what I was doing and was scared to death when I did my first race. I wish I had this book when I started out. I would have saved myself a lot of heart ache and stress! I wrote this to help all triathlon rookies get over their nerves and enjoy this fantastic sport.Triathlon for beginners is the start to finish complete guide which covers all the areas of training and racing including: Where to start - types of races, what you need to kw and where to begin Jargon buster - helping you understand the terms of the sport so you can understand what people are talking about when they say T1 or Brick !

Here are some of the comments we have had from readers... I loved this book! I have completed a few triathlons- sprint and Olympic distance. This book really simplified what is important to focus on. There is so much to kw and learn that sometimes you feel overwhelmed. It is an easy, entertaining read but packed with good kwledge that made a big difference to my racing. Charlotte Campbell, World Games triathlon gold medallist I wish this was around before! I did a number of Triathlons over the last few years. When I first took it up I had to ask people's advice which at best was disjointed and worst, confusing. I also read some very good stuff on the internet, however this was also disjointed and incomplete. This book would have been ideal, as it puts it all together clearly and concisely. Liam Harrington; sprint triathlete

Author Biography
I discovered the triathlon world in 2005. It is fair to say I became slightly obsessed! This has probably happened to many of you. Triathletes tend to be an obsessive bunch. I love it- hey- there are worse things I could be obsessed about. Triathlon has been a massive force for good in my life and given me structure, superb fitness, a bunch of cool friends who kick my ass and a lot of travel opportunities. My favourite distance is Olympic and 70.3. I am planning Ironman in 2017. Triathlon has taught me some important lessons: To never give up no matter how hopeless it seems right now Pain is temporary, results last forever To set unrealistic goals and work through every obstacle to make it happen no matter what That no matter how rubbish you feel right now, things will get better-eventually No matter how much you prepare, things sometimes still go wrong- Keep a sense of humour And much more- I mean the lessons keep coming right? So what do I do now? I have written a best selling book, I am half way through my next book on 70.3, let me know if you want to go on the wait list for pre-launch). I am also fortunate to have been invited to write with the excellent team at Triathlon Hacks, I coach clients 1:1 and online and I still swim, bike, run. I think this is in my blood now- I don't know that I will ever stop, though I certainly train smarter now and have added a lot of gym strength work, yoga and I am diligent with my nutrition. * I travel a lot and currently live in Asia * I love surfing- this feeds my soul and is my meditation * I love House of Cards and James Bond movies (I keep waiting for the call up to be the next Bond) * Family is super important to me- I have one gorgeous son name Toby- he is now 3 years old (and of course has his first bike-though my wife wont let me get him an aero helmet: )). * I am the best cook in our household- I absolutely love it, I love being creative and getting grateful thumbs up's from my guests)
