Surviving a Sprint Triathlon: Swim, Bike, Run in 12 Weeks (The "Surviving" series) Publisher's summary

You can finish a 5K. Maybe you’ve even read a book about it. But every time you see those swim caps bobbing in the water at a local triathlon, the same two thoughts show up: those people are insane — and — could I do that?Yes. You can. And this book will get you there in 12 weeks.Surviving a Sprint Triathlon is not for elite athletes or anyone who owns a bike that costs more than a used car. It’s for regular people who want to swim, bike, and run their way across one very satisfying finish line. Written by a self-described “reluctant athlete” — an IT leader and computer science professor who once hit the wall at mile 22 of a marathon after carb-loading at a pizza buffet — this book skips the jargon and gives you a plan that actually fits real life.Inside you’ll find:A complete 12-week training plan for beginner and experienced athletes — no gym membership requiredSwimming help for people who can technically stay alive in a pool (and that’s about it)Why you do NOT need a fancy bike — and what your bike actually does needTransition secrets that save minutes without training a second harderOpen water survival, race etiquette, and the rules that get beginners penalizedA full nutrition chapter, an FAQ, mental tricks for all three sports, printable training logs, checklists, and a race plan worksheetYou don’t need to be fast. You don’t need to be fearless. You just need twelve weeks and a bike that shifts without sounding like a bag of angry squirrels.10% of all author royalties are donated to charity.
