I guess if you had no access to the internet or a library this book would be good for you. You won't learn any eye-opening tips or tricks from it, and the training plan is geared toward someone who is basically a couch potato attempting a sprint tri. If that's you, go for it, otherwise, save your money and just google 'beginner triathlete' for plenty of websites and forums that offer the same information.
Good book - recommended for the just starting Triathlete March 29, 2010

One of the 3 beginning triathlete books I have read for training for my first 2 sprint Triathlons.
Very good basic book. Nice thoughts and philosophy about why do a triathlon.
Would also recommend Beginning Triathlons for Dummies which may be slightly better in it's depth and organization.
deeply informative and well written March 22, 2010

I'm glad this is the book I decided to purchase ahead of my upcoming duathlon. The author is an experience trainer of triathletes, speaks directly to the reader in simple terms, and seems dedicated to bringing new people into sport. He seems to understand what new people coming into this sport will face, starting from a training schedule, to equipment advice, eating and dieting advice. I especially appreciate his respect for your bottom line; he spends several pages talking about what bike you could get, but keeps encouraging you not to spend too much money, or shows you where you can save and where you should spend a few extra dollars. I've been in training for a while, so a lot of what was in this book was obvious, but there were a few things that i would never have thought about that has improved my running and biking.
The only shortcoming about the book is that he does not talk about the transition between stages at all. Being a newbie, I have basic questions like - should I run and bike in the same shorts? Should I keep my shoes on my bike clips or not? How do I keep my heart rate up while I'm getting on and off my bike for the next stage? I'm sure I'll figure this out during my own time trials, but it would have been useful to have this. Otherwise, no complaints, I highly recommended it.
