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

“As a 7-time Ironman World Champion, a coach and a wonderful woman, Cherie is the best person in the sport to speak of this race. This book is a joy to read. It offers the perfect balance of clear, practical data along with electrifying inspiration.”

–Ian Murray, Triathletix, USAT 2006 Coach of the Year
