Description

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to become a fast triathlete, but it sure doesn't hurt! Astronautical engineer and triathlete Jim Gourley reveals the physics underlying the swim-bike-run sport of triathlon. Through clever and unforgettable examples Gourley shows triathletes how knowledge--and a few fascinating tricks of physics--can make them faster in training and racing. Triathlon demands great fitness, but even the most gifted triathletes are subject to the laws of fluid and aerodynamics, friction, and rolling resistance. Gourley explains how triathletes and their gear interact with the physical forces that determine their speed and performance. `Faster `will change how triathletes think about their bodies, their gear, and the world around them, informing their technique and gear selection and helping them gain free speed.
