Edited by members of USA Triathlon, Complete Triathlon Guide offers readers comprehensive advice from the sport's top triathletes and coaches. USA Triathlon is the national governing body for the sport of triathlon in the United States and the sanctioning body for 3,500 events annually-a number that has more than doubled since 2004.
Triathlon is a thriving sport that has seen the number of traditional swim-bike-run competitors grow 148 percent since 2007, according to the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association (SGMA). The most recent SGMA study finds that 2.3 million Americans participated in at least one triathlon in 2010, and nearly 1.2 million of those core triathletes have competed in multiple traditional on-road races.
Each of the 29 chapters in Complete Triathlon Guide is written by a leading endurance sport authority selected by USA Triathlon, including renowned experts and authors Joe Friel, Gordon Byrn, Bob Seebohar, Ian Murray, George Dallam, Steve Tarpinian, Sara McLarty, and Sage Rountree. From training to technique, competitive strategies to health and nutrition, Complete Triathlon Guide covers the sport like no other. The book includes information on preventing the most common injuries among triathletes; recognizing the signs of hyponatremia (electrolyte imbalance); incorporating yoga, flexibility, and strength training into existing endurance workouts; and developing strategies for drafting and non-drafting races. This is a must-have resource for every triathlete-from aspiring athlete to elite.
The breadth of information presented, the stature of contributing authors, and the endorsement of USA Triathlon are certain to make Complete Triathlon Guide a highly sought resource for years to come.
