An Australian Triathlon Champion's Book 21/06/2011
 The love of the triathlon started my career in sports science. Dave Scott and Mark Allen were my early heroes. When I competed in triathlon, the sport was dominated by the Australians Greg Bennett, Brad Beven, Miles Stewart and Greg Welch. I used to love watching them compete in the St George Sprint Series. Many years ago, I had the honour of being at Greg and Laura Bennett's wedding and meeting a lot of my triathlon heroes. One of the races I remember distinctly was won by a newcomer, Chris McCormack. Since those days, Macca has gone on to win over 200 races, including the Hawaii Ironman, twice. He has just published a book about his career which I can't put down! Well, I couldn't put it down until my 12th Edition of Williams Textbook of Endocrinology just arrived today! This is the must-have and the most authoritative resource for any health professionals working with hormones and metabolic disorders, obesity and health. Looks like my spare time will be spent on my reading couch for the foreseeable future! And maybe a comeback at triathlon?  Comments Comments are closed. |
