Are you thinking about getting into triathlon or doing your first race? Have you finished a couple of races and are keen to improve your time? Do you find the whole sport daunting and confusing? Are you a little intimidated by everybody else who looks like they know what they are doing? This easy to understand and insightful book is packed with practical ways you can improve and it will help you: • Understand the sport of triathlon “what is triathlon and how does it work?” • Develop a training plan together that simplifies your season • Train effectively so you minimise the risk of getting injured • Stop you making the mistakes which cost a lot of time and money • Make you feel confident when you are on the start line • Decide what race length is best for you from sprint to Ironman • Buy the right triathlon kit to suit your ability and your aspirations A personal note from the author: “This book is gathered from years of training and racing but not only from my triathlon experience but from the experience of champions. I have trained with and raced with elite athletes and winners from all over the world but I started not knowing 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 know 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”! • Training rules and techniques • Swimming technique and etiquette • Running technique and how to prevent injury and run faster • Cycling in a pack what to do and what not to do • Transition – how to lay it out, what to bring and how to be effective • Understanding nutrition and why it is key, how best to manage your nutrition and what is best to eat for triathlon training and racing • Race day – what to look out for, how to prepare and what to expect This guide takes you from start to finish so you can feel confident and comfortable when you train and race. 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 know and learn that sometimes you feel overwhelmed. It is an easy, entertaining read but packed with good knowledge 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

About the Author

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)
