Slow Fat Triathlete by Jayne Williams

Participating in a triathlon may seem impossible for those who don't fit the typical athlete mold - with a lean, focused, and competitive mindset. But Slow Fat Triathlete now offers a chance for those who may not fit that description. Jayne Williams, after struggling with obesity, poor health, and self-doubt, completed her first triathlon in 2002 to prove something to herself and soon became hooked on the thrill of the race. Today, she proudly identifies as a "slow fat triathlete," unafraid to face embarrassment, laugh at her mistakes, have fun, and achieve impressive goals. Slow Fat Triathlete is a book for those who may feel overweight, out of shape, undisciplined, or unprepared for a triathlon, but are interested in giving it a try. Through personal anecdotes, practical suggestions, and humorous stories, this book inspires, motivates, and demonstrates that with a little training, almost anyone can have a great time and reap the rewards of pursuing their triathlon dreams - showing that anyone can become a participant and an athlete.
