Into the Washing Machine


Tracy Eccles

For those that have been living up in the clouds for a while and have missed all the national press coverage: Into the Washing Machine is a light-hearted, often painful account of life in the 'washing machine' - triathlon training building up to completing my first Ironman. Includes handy tips, sketches, motivation pages, full 8 month training programme, what it's like to race overseas, and a box of matches to burn the book at the end.

All aquatically-challenged people contemplating even looking at a body of water; all 'know-it-alls' who have never done any sport but think they can do better; arm chair athletes who want to be involved in sport but don't want to break into a sweat; high-and-mighty cyclists who 'own the road'; dozy 'back-of-the-pack' runners up for a new challenge; all stupid people thinking about doing an Ironman; all clever people wise enough not to attempt it but who want to know what stupid people do to pass the time; and anyone looking for a new book to read while on the toilet. These are the people who should read this book.
