Triathlon books published in 2012 ---- A Quick View


Here's a quick review of the books about triathlon published in 2012. I simply searched for "triathlon 2012" on Amazon, and these are the books on the first five search pages. There might be more; like I said, this covers only the first five search pages of Amazon. Some of them look good, especially Friel's book. 

Also, please note that I don't make any money off the links.

Happy Browsing!

Weight Training book available in hard copy on Amazon

The Weight Training Routine for Olympic and Sprint Triathlons is available in hard copy for those of you without an e-book reader of sort (iPad, Kindle, Nook, etc).

Next up on the Pacific Crest race report is a review of the detailed goals versus reality, available probably Friday. 

Below, the book on the left is the hard copy. The book on the right is Kindle. They have different covers but the same text. You can also go to Smashwords to get it for and iPad or other reader, and it is currently on sale on Smashwords.

   

I've set it up so that you'll be able to read portions of the inside, but it doesn't show up yet. Give it a couple of days or go to the Kindle version to see a portion of it to see if it's what you're really looking for. BTW, Kindle version allows returns, and it's very easy to do, so you can always return the book if you don't like or it's not what you thought it would be.

It's hot here in Pocatello! I ran yesterday in 90 degrees. I realized at mile 4 that I needed to slow down and cut it short by a mile (from 6 to 5) so I could ensure proper recovery. Well, I cut it short and then ended up walking alot of mile 5. And I'm quite sore today. It's incredible to know that I'm in pretty good shape right now but a simple workout like that can make me quite sore, as in walking funny even on a flat. Good thing I cut it short because it's very disappointing to be sore from a basic moderate effort run like that.
