Have you dreamed of crossing a finish line but felt like you had no idea how to get from where you are now to the starting line? Whether it's a 5K or triathlon, this book will give you all the insights you need to make it to your first race. Even if you've never done anything athletic, completing a triathlon is in reach if you dedicate the time and put in the effort to 'tri.' This book is also full of inspirational and motivational stories from women who not only successfully completed a race, but also found new confidence and overcame unhealthy lifestyle choices. Meant for each and every woman, this book is the perfect guide to successfully finish a triathlon with just a few months of effort and dedication. After a life-changing experience, the author went from a career-driven woman to a triathlon enthusiast, eventually turning her passion into a coaching career. Within this book she also shares the story of her own journey. After reading Courage to Tri, you'll be inspired to sign up for your first race and equipped to conquer it.

USA Triathlon coach and author Bethany Rutledge believes that crossing a finish line can change your life in amazing ways. Once an unlikely endurance athlete herself, she and her husband are now co-owners of Atlanta Triathlon Club, a large triathlon community in Atlanta, GA, and Energy Lab, a cycling and coaching studio. Bethany is a two-time Kona qualifier and has worked with hundreds of athletes as a coach. She regularly contributes to Triathlete Magazine, Women's Running Magazine, and Training Peaks. Bethany also co-hosts a weekly podcast, 'Grit and Dirt,' showcasing athletes who have made huge life changes.
