«Should be a free pamphlet»
I was very disappointed in this book. Much of it was basically a commercial for Danskin and her Heart Rate Monitor company, padded out with somewhat pointless stories of her triathlon experience- will the average beginner triathlete gain much by 3 pages of her experience on a particularly brutal bike leg of Ironman Kona? Um, no. There was some useful information sprinkled throughout but not enough to train competently for a triathlon of any length. It was also riddled with typos. I think if you knew nothing about triathlons and just wanted to find out what they involve and maybe have some inspiration that a woman can actually complete one (gasp! they can also have jobs outside the home, didya know?) then this book would be OK for you. Otherwise, buy something else!

«awsome inspiration»
this book has been a great insipiration for my decision to get fit.. I read it avidely and now that I finished I have a better idea of how to actually get myself trained for a triathlon, but really It helped me to change my point of view regarding my ability to excersise... Great book Sally!

«Dissapointing»
This book was a bit dissapointing and hard to follow. The writing style was straining and I felt it was a big advertisement for Danskin. I'm a newcomer to triathlons but have extensive competitive athletic experience and as much as I tried to appreciate the advice, I felt bound and gagged by repeated Danskin references.
