IRONSTRUCK BOOKSTOREThe ironstruck bookstore is the place to be if you want to find a few books that will truly help you realize your triathlon dreams. You have come to the right place.
Taking up the sport of triathlon back in 1983 was the best thing that ever happened to me. Once I crossed the finish line of my first Ironman in Kona, Hawaii in 1984 I knew my life had changed forever. Over the years, no matter what was going on in my life, triathlon always gave me hope and gave me something positive to focus on. I can truly say, the sport of triathlon has never let me down in the quarter of a century that it has been such a big part of my existence in one aspect or another. To pass that information on to others I have written three triathlon books and created an Ironstruck bookstore. Triathlon has been my friend, my teacher, and my escape when so much else in my life was trying to pull me down. It has done so much for me and many, many other people in the world who needed positive reinforcement to uplift them and something "magical" to make them realize that they indeed are special and are capable of amazing accomplishments if only they give themselves a chance. Building an Ironstruck bookstore was a no-brainer because it seems the perfect way to get the message out and motivate and inspire others. I knew I had to give something back to the sport. I just "HAD TO" share with others, what triathlon had done for me. I started by creating IRONSTRUCK.ca. I created this website as a means to share with others all that I have learned about this incredible sport over the years. Now triathletes from over 80 countries around the world visit Ironstruck every single month. Any many of the have discovered my Ironstruck bookstore and bought themselves a book that I'm positive will have a huge impact on their Ironman careers, regardless if it's one Ironman or dozens they take part in.
That's exactly why I wrote the book "Ironstruck...The Ironman Triathlon Journey. I wanted people to always have Ironstruck close at hand when they needed to be uplifted and be re-assured that they will always have someone in their corner. They will ALWAYS have someone who believes in them. As my website grew and the number of visitors increased over the months I realized there was a real need for a resource that would answer so many of the questions that newcomers to triathlon or the Ironman needed answers to. What followed was my second book "Ironstruck? 500 Ironman Triathlon Questions And Answers" and I believe it is the first Q+A book in the world on the subject of the Ironman or triathlon in general. Both Ironstruck books have been well-received by new and experienced triathletes around the world and can be found in my Ironstruck bookstore. The sport of triathlon has become the fastest growing "mainstream" sport in the world. More and more people are being drawn into this amazing sport and are anxious to take their lives in a new, exciting, healthy direction. Many can't swim a stroke or have never been on a racing bike and just want a chance to finish their very first triathlon. There was an obvious need for a book of inspiration, motivation and sound advice for the very beginner triathlete......and this led to my latest book release..."TRIATHLETE IN TRANSITION" I wanted this book to be special and have some very knowledgeable guests who have submitted to the book. They include Steve King, The voice of Ironman Canada, and Terry Laughlin, The creator of the Total Immersion swimming concept. If you are starting out on the triathlon trail or know someone who is, this is the perfect book and it can also be found in my Ironstruck bookstore. People will spend thousands of dollars to realize their first triathlon or Ironman dream, yet these three books might be what actually does the most to get them to the finish line. My books have already done just that for many people around the world and will do it for many more in the future.
