Having competed in triathlons around the world, the author combines reflections, anecdotes and practical experiences of his route into triathlon. From starting out to entering into the ranks of competitive age group racing, he charts his inspiring journey.
Whether you're new to the sport of triathlon or you're driven to search and achieve your own personal best, here you will discover the mindset you need.

Renaissance Triathlete addresses the physical and mental challenges the older athlete will face. It explores how you can learn to get the best out of yourself as capabilities change, compensating for slowing down in some areas by making improvements in others. Whatever your ability or experience it's possible to look ahead, keep going and enjoy sport.
