VeloPress, 1998 - Sports & Recreation - 268 pages
""Triathlon"" takes a fascinating look at the evolution of the sport through essays, interviews, and photographs dating back to its very beginnings. The first triathlons were highly competitive but casual -- in contrast to the major media events that many of the races are today. Sidebars throughout the book contain profiles of triathletes and anecdotes of the sport over time.
