Subject: Inspiring books for athenas/clydes?
Looking for new reading material for inspiration.

Here's what I've read:

"Heft on Wheels" is great.
"When Big Boys Tri," obviously.
Lance's books are great, of course.

There are a couple of more fat to fit books I've seen in the bookstore, but not sure how good they are. "Slow, Fat Triathlete" is one I've considered, but it seems to be a bit heavy on the instruction side? I'm more wanting personal stories than instruction.

Any suggestions?

First Triathlons by Gail Waesche Kislevitz is a good compilations of first timer stories.

x2 on Slow Fat Triathlete.  Jayne did put race reports in there that are helpful as well as entertaining.

Becoming an Ironman. It's filled with stories of people from all walks of life and their first Ironman experience. You may not have that on your radar screen or it may be a huge goal (it was for me) but it's a very inspiring book.

I may have to pick up a couple of these to help fuel my growing obsession.  Is it just me, or does the Internet update too slowly?  There are times I've read all the new posts on the forums and am repeatedly clicking refresh in the hopes something new is there...
