And the programs are straight from the expertsyou'll improve your time no matter what distance you want to race." Tim Yount Deputy director, USA Triathlon From Running.about.com "The thing I like the most about this book by Michael Finch are the short biographical sketches throughout. Oh yes, training schedules, tri-gear and training techniques all have their part in as comprehensive a work as this. However, the knowledge, inspiration and guidance we can all gain from reading about the greats in the sport are, to me, more valuable than all the training schedules in the world." From RunnersWeb.com "Triathlon Training offers expert guidance for improving your racing from start to finish." From Rocky Mountain Sports "A great resource whether you're new to the sport or looking to notch your racing up a level. "
