Ironman Hall Of Famer Bob Babbitt and some of the world’s best photographers share images and stories from what many consider the Toughest day in Sport in the new book "30 Years of the Ironman World Championship"
This new hardcover coffee table book is due out this month. It chronicles the moments from all of the Ironman World Championship triathlon races since the first one in 1978 when 15 people went out on a quest to see who the fittest athlete was. This is the second Ironman coffee table book from Babbitt. He originally produced the first book to mark the 25th anniversary. This new book just brings us up to date through the 2007 Ironman World Championship when rookie Chrissie Wellington shocked everyone with her solid win to Chris McCormack getting his first Ironman title after many failed attempts.
This book is bound to be inspirational to all triathletes, from those who dream of possibly attempting an Ironman race someday to those of us that have a completed one. Expect plenty of good stuff from author and Ironman Hall of Fame inductee Babbitt in the book to motivate you inform you and inspire you.

About the Author
Bob Babbitt completed his first Hawaii Ironman in 1980 and entered the Ironman Hall of Fame in 2001. Over all these years he's given so much to the sport, and keeps on giving, that he has become a symbol of the true spirit of the Ironman. His spirit of adventure, goodwill and sense of fun shine though in the many roles he continues to play in the sport-as editor and co-publishers of the multi sport magazine Competitor, producer and host of a multi sport radio show, emcee of the Ironman World Championship carbo and award parties, and as the founder and force behind Challenged Athletes Foundation. His presence in triathlon, especially the Ironman World Championship, mercifully acts as a counterbalance in a sport that often seems to take itself too seriously.
