Summary: excellent intro to triathlon particulars...
Review: This book was a great help in getting me ready for my first triathlon. All material is highly relevant and well written. I especially liked the sections on integrating 3 sports into your weekly training schedule and also the information on the different phases of training leading to peaking for a race.

Summary: Best Place to Start!
Review: This guide opened my eyes to the idiocyncracies of the triathlon world. It answered all my questions - what would it be like? How to prepare on event day? Do I really need this equipment? It is perfect for those who have already decided to do the event - this will not motivate you to train, it will just answer many of the questions that remain. Enjoy

Summary: Excellent True Beginner's Book
Review: This is a great introductory book. After completing one sprint distance triathlon, I read this book. It gives great beginner's training advice from what equipment to buy to how to base train for each event. Everything that you would need to know in order to enter into triathlon training and competition is contained in Triathlon 101. It does seem like it would be too basic for the experienced triathlete, but for a beginner, it is perfect. There is an excellent training schedule for both a sprint and an olympic distance triathlon. There are also blank training log sheets and an appendix for more resources on the sport.

Summary: Great introduction to Triathlon
Review: This was the first book on Triathlon racing and training that I bought - several years ago. Its a well-written introduction to the sport and to training. An easy read, it covers all the basics - swim technique, biking mileage and the ever popular run.
I think any beginner should start with this book for the sections on nutrition, staying healthy and race preparation. Some of the best advice you can get - aside from fellow triathletes - is in this book about race day prep, things to know and do, etc.

Summary: Great book to prepare for your first triathlon
Review: Three years ago, a friend challenged me to enter the Mrs. T's Chicago Triathlon. Using what I learned in Triathlon 101, I was able to prepare confidently and exceed my finish time goal. Since then, I've competed in several other triathlons, including an Ironman, but continue to refer back to Triathlon 101. I now have a small Triathlon library but haven't found a single book with as much practical advice. If you're just getting started, you'll save yourself a lot of time (and probably money) by starting off with Triathlon 101. Good luck in your races!

Summary: Triathlon 101 Is One To Add To Your Library
Review: Triathlon 101, by John Mora, is a must have for those wanting to get into the world of triathlon. Infact, it is a must have for experienced participants. He does a nice job of breaking the sport into easy to digest terminology. I wish the book was available when I started into this crazy sport.

Summary: Invaluable
Review: Unlike what most readers state on this page, I found this book to have little information. However it is a nice book that makes you enthusiastic about the sport, but there is no content that will make me a better thriatlete. There is no information about the correct training techniques and the main focus is on the non-Ironman distances. The writer likes to use these little questions between brackets, which are at first funny, but later quite irritating.
