Besides if its like your other reviews it will be a five star 10/10 anyway!

Nicely done - you doubled down and now are 0-for-2.

Ditto.

And... ditto on the second thing too.

I just checked it on Amazon, and it said "Customers who bought this item also bought a rope and a stool."

True but I bought the rope and the stool first.

Actually I was totally going to pass on this whole thing completely but that excerpt surprisingly changed my mind. The whole "skeleton" method he uses for his training is exactly how I've always thought of my training. I'm interested in reading more about that part.

The Nook Color version of the book has video of Macca. Sweet!

Done. Unfortunately, this does not help Dan's goal ...

After Chopper Read's stab at the gostwriter, this is the most anticipated written word to come out of the ex penal colonies since, er, last Sunday's "Sun Herald" (now contains more than pictures of Kylie's bum - words, it's the new thing).
I always knew that he could make full sentences, and write them down, and on something other than in the sand at low tide surrounded by beach bums, using the alphabet. Must have surprised more than one sheep fiddler from across the Tasman Sea.

More back info HERE and HERE.

I'm ordering this now. If it is half as entertaining as his blog, it's worth it.

Page 47: Macca likes BG Fit more than FIST!!! Zing!!! ;)

Whatever happened after your fit session, Dan? I just saw some of the grainy video.

Got it. Great idea and excellent strategy.

"Whatever happened after your fit session, Dan? I just saw some of the grainy video."

i see no space between the fit with macca up at our compound about 3 years ago and the way he's riding his bike now. his position is, in my opinion, much better than it was, say, 5 or 6 years ago. if BG has added value to the process of macca achieving an optimized position, so much the better.

< Quitting Isn't An Option >

I'll order it tonight. Don't fret about the ghost writing, as someone who works for a massive book publisher, I can safely say you'd be floored if you knew how many books are ghost written.

Macca is an awesome athlete, no doubt, but it takes a LOT to write well.

This doesn't mean the ideas and thoughts aren't his, more likely he was interview extensively and the taped notes were used to "spice" things up by someone with some experience writing. This is generally the case for L.A.'s books Dean's books and more. They're all good reads, ghostwritten or not.

Anyway, I'll probably go the Kindle route too.

I got the Kindle edition largely as an experiment. I prefer a hardback, and don't actually own a Kindle (iPad), but will be doing a lot of traveling in the near future and have been meaning to experiment with how good/awful it is to actually try and read a book on this damn thing.

As for the book itself, didn't have a ton of interest in it until I read the excerpt, but found myself agreeing much more than I expected.

As Macca said in the interview below, he is looking beyond Amazon. So it is all good. :-)

I just got the Kindle version, and then I realized that I might want to try to get him to sign the book (I have a collection of athlete books signed by the athletes), I wonder if he'll sign my Kindle?

Kindle version ordered

an excerpt from the front page article that Herbert published:

"Macca: The book will launch globally on May 23, but for those that pre order on Amazon I have been told they get the book prior to the stores. The book is called “I'm here to Win” and it was an interesting thing to do. It always feels quite funny when you are writing about yourself and your experiences in the sport. It only feels like yesterday some of the stories we talk about. I had great people working with me in Tim Vandehay my ghostwriter, who was awesome at pulling a lot of the stories out of me and making me think about why I do and say what I do. When the publishers gave me a basic outline of what they were looking for in my book, my only request to them was, I wanted to make sure it was brutally honest. I was going to have my say on many issues and things that happen behind the scenes that many people don’t know about. We touched on a lot of my career but also a lot on the guys I raced around the World, the events and the experiences I have had in the past 16 years racing. It was an interesting experience that’s for sure! It has been very popular I have been told. It would be great to have a New York Best Seller. That would be awesome for triathlon and for me also. You can get everyone on slowtwitch to buy the book today and we would pull that off easily. So if I don’t become a New York Best Seller I am blaming you Herbert."

i still ordered the book...
