Triathlon is one of the fastest-growing youth sports in the world - and one of the least well-served by books. Most guides are written for adult Ironman competitors. Tri to Succeed is written for the young athlete taking their first strokes in open water, clipping in for their first brick session, and crossing the finish line of their first junior race.
It's also written for the parent wondering how to manage three sports in one training week - and the coach juggling swim, bike, and run sessions for a growing squad.
