This book is OK but is certainly padded with a lot of irrelevant info. The main problem is that there are too many training plans with little to distinguish them. The criteria for "fit" vs. "unfit" are almost identical and the plans themselves seem very conservative. A previous reviewer mentioned the "team" training plans, and I agree that these are redundant.



Another issue is that there is minimal emphasis on swimming; for beginners, swimming is probably the most difficult discipline to get comfortable with, so this seems like a poor approach. There are some useful tips on bike fit and nutrition, yet probably far too much info for a beginner. I strongly recommend the training plans, info and general style of the "Complete Idiot's Guide" ahead of this book.
