Going to Hawaii and need some recommendations on any tri related books that may worth reading while on the plane. I have already read Macca’s book. Thanks for your suggestions.
Something with a lot of pictures and preferably a cover made out of dimpled carbon fiber ;0)

An interesting one that will be coming out (unfortuantly post Hawaii) is a book called “As the Crowe Flies” it will be a series of black and white pictures chronicling Crowies training in prep and on race day at Kona.
Cant wait for that.

Here’s how I rank the tri books I’ve read.
17 hours to glory. Great book about Kona. Favorite tri book so far. Very inspirational. I would read it again if I were Kona bound.
Racing Weight. Areas of the book get a little detailed, but it is generally a good read. Lots of useful information.
Macca’s book. I liked it, good read. Not as good as the other two.
If I could rank the “triathlete’s training bible” any lower, I would.
Enjoy the trip
See if you can get a used copy of Mike Plant’s “Iron Will” from Amazon. It’s the early history of Kona - will get you really psyched.
“Once a Runner”, John L. Parker
“The Great Swim”, Gavin Mortimer
“Gold in the Water”, P.H. Mullen
