Triathlon Books

[eras3162]

If anyone could shed some light on some good books for a beginner triathlete like myself. I would also like a book that provides exercise programs, meal plans, etc. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be very appreciative. Thanks.

eras3162, Triathlon 101 by John Mora and Triathloning for Ordinary Mortals by Steven Jonas are both good. Steven Jonas is an MD. I especially liked his book. Triathlete Magazine is an excellent source of info on training, nutrition, common injuries and equipment. Also, Active.com has a treasure trove of free articles on all aspects of the sport. I think the sport is a blast. Hope you like it, too.
