| Slow Fat Triathlete Williams 190pp ISBN 9781569244678 Triathlon and endurance sports are not just for the skinny, the fast, and the young, says Jayne Williams, and she is living proof of that statement (and she wants you to join the fun). After years of obesity, poor health, and self-doubt, she mustered up the will to exercise and worked her way from walking around the block to competing in her first triathlon in 2002. With its singular mix of practical advice (do what it takes to avoid chafing), screwball anecdotes (meet the hula dudes from the Big Kahuna Half-Ironman), and off-kilter observations (your wetsuit can make you feel like a superhero), this book proves that you don't have to lose weight, get your life in order, or have all the right equipment to pursue your athletic dreams Item Status: In stock as of this morning | |||
