Summary: lacks supstance
Review: An easy read, Michael makes you feel like you're sitting across from him, hearing his story in person. This guy has a real fire in his belly and his story is one that will motivate even the biggest couch potato out there. It allays the fears of the "big guys" who think they can't do it. He's no Shakespeare, but the guy has an incredible story to tell.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great book for the person considering their first tri

Summary: Great
Review: Just received this book as a gift and wished I would have found it several months ago. It removed all my doubts and reservations about entering my first triathlon. Doesn't deal with training, but gives a personal view that is honest and open about the fears that most face whether we are fat or thin. I am going to recommend it to my friends that are ready to get off...and start training.

Summary: lacks supstance
Review: Was excited to receive the book, but a little dis-appointed after reading it. The book is a quick history of a person starting training and the participatin in some triathlons. It was good to know the story, but not a book if you are looking for solid training tips or motivation.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: For Girls Who Tri Also!!
Review: What an absolutely terrific book! Michael Pate has written such a motivational book with, "When Big Boys Tri." It is outstanding and a GREAT book for ALL triathletes - big boys, little boys, big girls...(well, you get the idea)

The book is inspirational for anyone consumed with the desire to complete a triathlon or to go on to their next triathlon. Throughout the book, Pate has interwoven truly unique and motivation sayings. My favorite was a thought-provoking poem written by Arnold Palmer.

"When Big Boys Tri" isn't really a book about reducing your time (although he has many great suggestions), and in some ways it is not so much a book about the races themselves. As the title indicates, Michael Pate has written a special book about the journey itself - as you strive for the triathlon race and as you strive toward being the best that God has designed for you.
