Scott's "Tri Training Book" - Triathlon Week

09-04-2004, 07:22 PM

I found Dave Scott's Triathlon Training Book at a used bookstore for a
measley five bucks today. Even though it's the 1986 edition (I'm sure
there are newer editions, right?), I thought it would still be a good
read, even if some information is out of date. I suppose much of the
material can never go out of date, but in my skimming of the book, I
read that Scott actually sat down in T2 of his races to change both his
shorts and shoes and to remove his cycling shirt, which he replaced with
his running singlet during the first yards of the run segment. It seems
these days that no triathlete would take this much time to do such
changes, when tri suits are available for wear throughout the whole
race, with minimal clothing changes (just wetsuit, helmet, shoes, maybe
socks).

Just wondering if there ARE later editions of Scott's book, and if so,
what sort of changes there might be.

Anyone?

Thanks,

Cam
