As the Crow Flies by Craig Alexander
Millions of triathletes around the world know Craig Alexander as 'Crowie' - the formidable triathlete whose sheer talent and disciplined work ethic have earned him three Ironman® World Championships and the new world record. In As the Crow Flies stunning black and white photos document what it takes to perform at the highest level of the sport. Celebrated Australian photographer Paul Robbins follows Alexander's most tumultuous season yet - as Crowie balances training with family life, non-stop travel, the ageing athlete's body, and the endless obligations to sponsors and the media. Alexander describes the physical and mental demands of triathlon - which go well beyond the necessary fitness and skills as a swimmer, cyclist and runner.
In Alexander's own words, the book chronicles his journey to the pinnacle of the sport.. It also showcases Paul K. Robbins' beautiful black-and-white photography, which offers a rare glimpse into Alexander's private life. * Triathlete Europe *
