And Doing the Duathlon Too.
20th Anniversary 2nd ed., New York: WW Norton, 2006
The classic beginner's guide to the sport. Over the years, it has been used by over 40,000 people.
This book is one of the best-selling triathlon books of all time. It will help you cross the finish line – and have fun doing it – without turning your life upside down along the way. It incorporates my training tips, ideas about selecting and choosing equipment, and 24 years of experience that clearly illustrate how rewarding and surprisingly painless undertaking multi-sport racing can be. I am a former non-athlete who began running in my mid-40s and did my first triathlon at age 46. At 72, at the beginning of the 2009 I had done 195 multi-sport races including 119 triathlons.
As Dr. Don Ardell, known as the “Dean of Wellness” internationally and a national and international age-group champion in both triathlon and duathlon, says in his Foreword, the book “is designed expressly with the Triathlon Everyman and Everywoman in mind. . . . There may be something you need to know about getting started in triathlons or a few ways to make triathloning easier, safer, and more enjoyable that Steve Jonas has not thought about and addressed in this book. Maybe, but I doubt it.”
