I've recently revised my book, Your First Triathlon. The Intro and Chapter 1 are available here for you to read. Just click on the link. It's one of the book projects I mentioned below which has been keeping me so busy. As soon as I get the next book done -- in about a month -- I'll be back to posting frequently here. I appreciate your hanging in there with me until this very busy patch in my year is behind me.

We'll hang here. Your posts are so interesting that i don't care of you're busy. As long we can get information from you anyhow, we all benefit! Greetz

Congratulations! I had a chance to skim through the first chapters and admired the strong writing--not to mention the inspirational, comfortable tone.
Even though I have already completed "my first triathlon", it never hurts to revisit and strengthen the fundamentals. I'm looking forward to reading/studying your new book (in about a month).
Cheers,
Nick

Excellent intro,
Although I finished my first triathlons, I really connect to what you wrote, especially the part which says that the mind is strong, and that positive attitude is everything.
smooth writing, good luck

Just printed out the first pages to read on my flight home, will buy the revised book as soon as it comes out! I need some winter motivation. Good luck, hope it is really close :)
