Are you a newer triathlete looking to move up in distance? A veteran looking to "go longer" and improve your time? An elite trying to qualify for Kona or the 70.3 world championship? An Ironman athlete who wants to use this race as a tune-up for the big one? Someone looking for a good all-around book on the three sports of swimming, biking, and running? You've come to the right place! More content coming soon for the half-iron athlete. Read these rave reviews:
But the best and unique aspect of the book are the specific workouts, case studies and race strategies for the half-iron distance, including categories for beginner, veteran, and elite triathletes. What works for one group may not work for others. He does give separate examples for different levels, and beginners should stay with the simpler stuff in the book. |
- I was afraid the book might be just a rehash of stuff from the Friel books, but after buying it I couldn't stop reading, finishing it in two days. There was so much in it specific to the half-iron distance I'd never seen before. Then I suprised myself by going out and qualifying for the 2007 Ironman 70.3 World Championships!
Angela S., Oklahoma:
- I got a copy of the book at one of the author's triathlon camps. It helped me so much over the following three months I decided to hire Tom Rodgers as my personal triathlon coach and race in my first half-iron event!
Ken Mierke, Virginia, Triathlon coach and author of Evolution Running:
- I just bought and read your book. NICE WORK! Very comprehensive.
