No rust, but some tarnish.
Although mostly a vanity piece, this book had some moments of redemption threaded through. I would have liked more depth regarding her September 11th experiences abroad and her road to Ironman Kona after her husband was diagnosed with cancer and less of her reciting her race times. The subtitle was a distractor - the book had very little to do with menopause. It's not for the average age-grouper - this is a privileged woman married to a doctor who is able to jet to Fiji, Rimini, Hawaii, etc. simply to race. ... Read more

race reports from the middle of the pack
This book consists primarily of a collection of race reports extracted from the TRI-DRS listserv. These cover a variety of experiences, from riding a mountain bike in a first local tri through racing in the Hawaii Ironman. This variety, and the perspective from the middle of the pack, distinguish this book from its competitors. There is also a brief introduction to the sport, with some useful basic advice (not all of which I agree with), and an entertaining glossary covering terms of the trade like LBS (local bike store). This book makes a refreshing change from the mass of training manuals by highlighting the experience more than the technicalities. While certainly enjoyable for experienced triathletes, this book is especially suited to newbies to the sport, and relatives of triathletes, who will gain a better sense of what the whole thing is about and why we do it. Tom Arcaro is a sociologist who occasionally teaches courses on triathlon, for which this book is a useful supplement. ... Read more

Eleven good years in triathlon partly based on Tinley's book
Besides Dave Scott's book, this book was one of my primary sources for training and motivation for the triathlon. Tinley's writing style is easy and informative with delightful insights to some of his past experiencesand what worked and did not in his triathlon training.

It's anecdotal, non-technical and reminds you to have fun.
Compared to other triathlon primers, Tinley's isfar less technical. He explains right up front that the reader will need to seek other sources for detailed information on many subjects that he raises only briefly. In a way, it almost seems he is seeking his own ground in light of Dave Scott's earlier, much more comprehensive book on the sport. Best about Tinley, however, is his constant reminder to keep things in perspective and balanced. Remember that this sport is supposed to be fun.

SCOTT TINLEY RULES!!!
I FOUND THE BOOK VERY ENTERTAINING AS A FIRST YEAR TRIATHLETE. BUT ONE MUST REALIZE THAT A LOT OF THE TECHNICAL INFORMATION INCLUDED IS OBSOLETE AS THE BOOK IS 11 YEARS OLD. IF YOU ARE A FAN OF TRIATHLON THEN YOU SHOULD READ JUST FOR A GLIMPSE INSIDE ONE OF THE SPORTS PIONEERS SLIGHTLY TWISTED PSYCHE. BUTCH FORSYTH (GARLICDUDE@aol.com) SALINAS, CALIFORNIA ... Read more

Let's Push Our Limits!
(...)As Ana goes through one of the most amazing times in her stories. I liked this book, because it gave me a whole new idea on people, and how they can change. And how sometimes, things down go your way. A good saying for this book would be "When one door closes, another opens".

I loved it!
I loved this book. My favorite character is Ana Suarez and I thought that Ana was a real nice person. Ana did what she loved and even though Clarisse was mean to her she was still nice. For the people who have the generation dolls should know that it is kind of wierd reading the book with the generation girls in it. I just wish they were still out. I havn't read all the books though. But this was truly a good book. I loved it! I read it in a day. I got it at noon and finished at night. It's sort of like a short/long story.

Great.
I got this book yesterday and finished it this morning.I LOVED IT!!!I liked how Ana tried to stay tough at the track.Of course,I haven't read all the books though,so maybe next monthI'll send another review saying I liked another book better. ... Read more
