as a newbie i bought all the mags and a few books which basically all say the same. Tried reading the training bible but found it hard going. i reckon thats more for the triathelete whos had a couple of seasons training already.

However a year on and mkes a lot more sense, I pick and choose what is relevent to me, very useful.
I agree about the forums, maybe less scientific, but usually more relevent.
I have bought a few magazines and the beginners guide to Triathlon but it's hit and miss on how useful he info in them is. After all the mags are trying to cater for rookies up to 'experts'....a difficult task!
Forums have specific info and if info can't be found then ask a question and someone will have an answer for you - brilliant!
A lot of rookies seem to enter a race towards the back end of the year to allow for ample preparation,so a race visit/watch should be on the list.Watching is better than trying to visualise through words on a page.
You'll probably get more out of it than sitting in front of your keyboard keeping a chair warm...
