10.2. Let’s Get Something Started
You Are an Ironman: How Six Weekend Warriors Chased Their Dream of Finishing the World's Toughest Triathlon - one of my goals for 2013 is to do a half-ironman, with a full ironman in 2014 - since there are no books I could find about half-irons, I read a book about a full ironman (approved in the THT) - to say it was motivational doesn't even begin to describe - I highly recommend, even if you have no desire to do an ironman
