Triathlon - aero bars and tri reading questions

I am planning on doing my first few tri's this summer, and am looking for advice on both a decent set of aero bars to attach to my felt f3c, and a good training/how to book on running tri's. I am in decent shape, but want something that will explain the small points and possible training plans. thanks

The Triathlete's Training Bible (http://www.amazon.com/Triathletes-Training-Bible-2nd/dp/1931382425/sr=8-1/qid=1166111282/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-0269038-4735220?ie=UTF8&s=books)

My friend picked it up afew weeks ago and it's pretty detailed about everything.

Also, http://www.beginnertriathlete.com has plenty of very informative articles ranging from gear choices, training tips, and race reports from "new" triathetes.

awesome thanks

I don't have a book to recommend, but I would suggest you check out the website www.slowtwitch.com which is one of the premier triathlon-oriented sites on the net. There are tons of great articles and there's a VERY active forum where you can ask questions, get advice, etc. They even have a wonderful classifieds forum where you can find tons of used tri stuff on the cheap.

Good luck!

I second the triathlete's training bible. Very detailed and will be great to read and plan your first season with.

I third everyone elses suggestion about the training bible. I also enjoyed "Nutrition for Endurance Athletes". I'm in the process of reading it and it's interesting how much science goes into sports nutrition. I found it on Amazon for $13 if I remember correctly. Good luck!
