  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;The idea of participating in a triathlon may sound out of the realm of possibility for those without a typical jock-athlete&amp;#8217;s honed build, intense focus, and competitive mindset. But now Slow Fat Triathlete opens the door to those who may not come quite so equipped. After years of obesity, poor health, and self-doubt, Jayne Williams took part in her first triathlon in 2002 to prove something to herself and became hooked on the rush of the race. Today she is a self-proclaimed &amp;#8220;slow fat triathlete,&amp;#8221; unafraid to overcome humiliation, laugh at her foibles, have fun, and accomplish impressive goals. Slow Fat Triathlete is a book for those who may be overweight, out of shape, undisciplined, or otherwise unprepared to enter a triathlon but are curious to try. Through personal stories, practical ideas and suggestions, and uproarious anecdotes, this book inspires, encourages, and proves that with a little training, almost everybody can have a great time and reap huge rewards from pursuing their tri dreams&amp;#8212;and that everyone can become a participant and an athlete.&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This was recommended by a friend at work.  It's what I was hoping the <em>The Nonrunner's Marathon Guide for Women</em> would be—a motivational book for athletes like me.  I was slightly discouraged that the author ran her first 5K faster than I've ever done one but felt better when I reminded myself that ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/31918311">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[What a great book.  I too am slow, fat and want to be a triathlete.  The author paints a picture of how it is to be involved in a sport where the majority are thin, fast and amazing creatures.  I really liked the fact that although she is slow she still finished and was happy about finishing.  She i...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18549581">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Seeing as the title made a lot of sense, I decided to give it a read at the bookstore a couple of weeks ago.  It's certainly not written for those who are looking for technical guidance in the sport.  However, it was pretty funny and gives some good advice on how to not look like a complete ass your...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18177591">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Learned a lot from this book. I think the biggest newest idea for me was the strategy of planning out your race. I guess I fit into the &quot;undisciplined&quot; category on the back book cover:<br/>&quot;...for anyone who may be out of shape, undisciplined, or otherwise unprepared to enter a triat...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/17057150">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Loved the sense of humor this author shared in her real-life experience of training for and completing her first triathlon, with less than the 'text-book' athletic apptitude to start with. Helped me put my own experience into perspective, and laugh at some of my own self-created hysteria. :-)]]></body>
