Greg Welch

“There are many books out there, but none of this quality. Gruenfeld’s deep love of this sport comes through on every page. She’ll make you fall in love with it, too. If this book doesn’t make you want to try an Ironman, nothing will.”

— Greg Welch, Ironman Hall of Fame, Four-time Triathlon World Champion
