Reviews
"McGough's writing shines with his self-deprecating humor and easygoing curiosity."
"The story of this impossible adventure is captivatingWhile he is sometimes reluctant, more often his voice brims with gung-ho, foolhardy, youthful bravado, plus generous doses of self-deprecation. McGough's humor shines throughout, but most in his unselfconscious presentation of the physical toll that the race takes, including the difficulty of pee breaks when certain extremities have gone numb and the dreaded chafing of, well, everything."--Foreword Reviews
"The book is absolutely hysterical...This is a great book for a newbie triathlete and an experienced Ironman would love it as well because it's raw, truthful, insightful and humorous all in one package."--A Triathlete's Diary
"[Swim Bike Bonk digs] into the psyche of those who are beyond passionate to the point of obsession with pursuit of the achievement that is the mother of all endurance events."--Outspoken Cyclist
"Swim, Bike, Bonk: Confessions of a Reluctant Triathlete is not only an entertaining account more than worthy to accompany you on your next trip, it's a great read for dedicated and first-time triathletes, or even competitive athletes in general. While I've never attempted a triathlon (and never intend to), I have raced competitively in a variety of sports and found myself groaning and cheering along with McGough."--Practical Travel Gear
"A travel writer by trade, McGough approaches the Ironman like he would a new country--with curiosity, humor, and, ultimately, astonishment."--Bruce Northam, American Detour
