I am beyond excited to announce the official book tour for my new book, Unlocking the Triathlon: The Beginner’s Guide to Competing in a Triathlon, published by Meyer & Meyer Sport! This book was written on how triathlon training works. Additionally, I included first-time stories from professional triathletes such as Gwen Jorgensen, Matt Fitzgerald, and Jodi Robertson, along with age-groupers (some of whom you may know!). These stories will make you laugh, cry, and feel everything in between.
Your Ultimate Guide to Becoming a Triathlete
Although a triathlon is a sport, more importantly, it’s also a lifestyle that builds resilience and confidence. Getting started can feel overwhelming. The gear, the training, the three different disciplines… It’s a lot to take in.
Unlocking the Triathlon is designed to be your trusted roadmap, breaking down every step of the journey into manageable, confidence-boosting actions. This isn’t just a book of theory; it’s a practical, hands-on guide filled with the same kind of advice and encouragement you’d find right here on the blog.
Basically, you’ll discover everything you need to go from beginner to finisher, including:
- Building a Foundation: Learn how to create a manageable training schedule that fits your life, no matter how busy you are.
- Mastering the Disciplines: Get step-by-step guidance on swimming, cycling, and running, with tips to build confidence in each area.
- Gear Essentials: Discover what you truly need to get started without breaking the bank.
- Nutrition and Hydration: Learn how to fuel your body for training and race day success.
- Race Day Success: I’ll walk you through everything from pre-race prep to navigating the transition zones like a pro.
- First-time race stories: Get inspired by stories from professionals like Gwen Jorgensen, Matt Fitzgerald, and dozens of Age Groupers who were once beginners too.
- And a whole lot more!
This book is your personal coach and cheerleader, ready to guide you to your first finish line.
