Learn How World-Class Athlete Went From 335 Pounds to Triathlon Competitor

The Athlete Inside

Fortress Press announces ​​The Athlete Inside: The Transforming Power of Hope, Tenacity, and Faith by Sue Reynolds is available for purchase today. The debut book follows Reynolds’ four-year journey from 335 pounds to a 135-pound triathlete who competes at world championships. Reynolds began her fitness journey as a grandmother in her late fifties, proving that it’s never too late to transform your life.

2016 Olympic Gold Medalist in Triathlon, Gwen Jorgensen, said, “Sue Reynolds shows how sport changed her life by telling a story familiar to me—one of discovering untapped talents, finding a trusted team and using focus and discipline to achieve goals.”

“Sue Reynolds changed her perception of herself, and this book will help you do the same. Her message is simple: If this 335-pound grandmother can change her life for the better, so can you!” said Bob Babbitt, Hall of Fame Inductee, USA Triathlon and Ironman Triathlon, co-founder, Competitor magazine and Challenged Athletes Foundation.

Reynolds will be donating all proceeds from the book to the USA Triathlon Foundation, so any purchase of The Athlete Inside supports the foundation.

The book is now available for purchase at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indiebound, and Broadleaf Books.

About the USA Triathlon Foundation

The USA Triathlon Foundation was created in 2014 by the USA Triathlon Board of Directors as an independent tax-exempt 501(c)(3) entity. Under the leadership of its Trustees and Committee members, the Foundation serves as a means to create a healthier America through triathlon and seeks to transform lives by opening up new pathways to the sport for all, especially those who are otherwise underserved. The USA Triathlon Foundation operates with the belief that every child should have the chance to participate, every paratriathlete should have the opportunity to compete, and every aspiring elite athlete should be able to chase his or her Olympic dream. Since the Foundation’s inception, more than $3 million has been provided to worthy causes and organizations that support its mission. Donations to the USA Triathlon Foundation ensure America's youth are introduced to the benefits and fun of a multisport lifestyle, athletes with disabilities receive the training, support and gear to be able to participate and excel, and the best aspiring young athletes have a chance to pursue their Olympic Dreams.
