  1. I am wondering what people feel is the best book to learn as much as I can about preparing for a
    triathlon from what to expect, training, transition, heart rate issues and so on. Any good reads
    out there?

    Also, what about a good magazine? Any good tri mags that are good reads?

    Sorry I have so many questions. I am just wanting to read as much as I can, that way I won't have to
    bother you fine folks as much. I was reading Total Immersion by Terry Laughlin at the book store and
    I ended up buying it. Very interesting reading and I am sure I need much improvement on being more
    efficient. Biking will be something that I need lots of work on and I have been told it is the most
    important due to how much time you can cut.

    Enjoying the start to a new adventure. Thanks for your help here so far. Curt

  2. The Triathlete's Training Bible - Joe Friel ... very good book.

    At a couple of races I've gotten 'American TRI' ... not a bad read.

    I'd have to disagree. I personally think American Tri is terrible. Triathlete and Inside Triathlon
    are much better magazines, IMO.
