I picked up (actually I downloaded) this book during the family summer holidays in Italy. I’m somewhat ashamed to say it was the first book I’d read in a very long time. My own triathlon training had taken over my life and I never seemed to have time for anything else. However seeing as I was on holiday I decided to look for something easy-reading to pass the time whilst I worked on my tan at the pool. I’ve been doing triathlon for a little over three years now and this was the first book I’d read on the sport. I might be a little biased but I really enjoyed it and can definitely recommend it to any current or wannabe triathletes. Not very insightful as a review but stay with me. There’s more.
You’re unlikely to stumble across Andy’s book unless you have more than a passing interest in triathlon. That said, I think there’s something in here for everybody; clinically insane triathlete or not.
Andy’s story really resonated with me. Largely because I saw so many similarities with my own path into triathlon. Sporty as a kid, but approaching middle age, overweight and wanting to make some changes in lifestlye to get myself back into shape. Both of us found triathlon.
This book will inspire you to do something more with your life. That might be completing your first Ironman in 2018 or it could be something a little more manageable such as doing your local 5km ParkRun.
Hopefully you found this short review helpful. Go ahead and pick up a copy for yourself. I’d love to hear your thoughts. Happy reading!!
