  1. Great Book!

    THANKS FOR THE PR
    I wanted to send a quick thank you for the training help your book and the emails you sent me provided. I did my first 1/2 iron on June 30, 2012. It was the Tupper Lake Tinman. I hit a PR by 9 minutes. (5:17:32); that put me 11th in my age group and 75th overall. My transitions were my most efficient for the half iron distance race. I made some great improvements over my previous times. Following your workouts and the information from your book made a great difference. Oh, I also recovered significantly faster than I ever had. I was hiking the Grand Canyon on July second and had very little muscle soreness. Thank you again and I hope to attend one of your camps in the future.
