Subject: Looking for a specific book....big guy doing triathlons?
A while ago I stumbled across a link to a book. It was a big guy that started doing triathlons for weight loss. Supposed to be a pretty inspirational book with some tips etc.

I actually got to a town with a book store in it and for the life of me couldnt find it on the computer. I typed in everything I could.

I did end up with the slow fat triathlete book and the paleo diet for athletes book.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Good book - I recommend it.

I was a Clydesdale when I first read it, and still am.... 

I will say that it helped motivate me to get out there and go for it !

Let me add my recommendation for the book as well.  Reading how the author overcame numerous trials and tribulations gave me a sense of confidence that I could do it as well.

I was a clyde when I bought it in 2005, and I am now an even bigger clyde.    My own roller-coaster notwithstanding, it is a GREAT book and it really motivated me to keep going during my first tri season.  Michael Pate does a great job mixing in useful tips, humor and some nice personal anecdotes.  You won't be disappointed.

Try "Heft on Wheels" -- also a very good read
