In "The Relentless Pursuit of Mediocrity: Endurance Triathlons for
the Recreational Athlete" (ISBN 0615599761), psychologist and
triathlete Brian Goodyear shows how finishing endurance triathlons
up to the iron-distance level is a feasible goal, even for the
average recreational athlete. Using his own life experience and
training strategies, the author shows how with persistence and
determination, we are all capable of accomplishing something
extraordinary. Blending personal training strategies with his
unique life philosophy, the first part of "The Relentless Pursuit
of Mediocrity" explores the concept of being an ordinary
recreational athlete. Far from being negative, he suggests that
mediocrity is something we can embrace and celebrate. In the second
part, Goodyear shares his journey from novice triathlete to
two-time iron-distance triathlon finisher. The third part maps out
a simple, conceptual framework for the recreational athlete to
develop his or her own training program for endurance triathlons.
The book also includes two appendices with the specific details of
Goodyear's personal training schedule, leading up to his finish in
Kona, Hawaii in 2006. Unlike many other guides to extreme athletic
events, "The Relentless Pursuit of Mediocrity" has a more
philosophical theme that is based on the reality that the vast
majority of athletes are not destined for greatness. Instead, their
true victory lies with accomplishing personal goals and
achievements. The book argues that ordinary recreational athletes
can come to terms with and, on a personal level, transcend their
inherent mediocrity. Both amusing and inspirational, "The
Relentless Pursuit of Mediocrity" is an unusual account of personal
accomplishment and a real-life training guide for the recreational
athlete. "The Relentless Pursuit of Mediocrity: Endurance
Triathlons for the Recreational Athlete" is available for sale
