—Jessica Day George, author of Dragon Slippers
"Mette was a self-described 'former couch potato,' before she started her journey to become a triathlete, and eventually an Ironwoman. She signed up for her first Ironman triathlon one week after suffering the loss of a child through stillbirth. She embraced the rigors of training as a way of dealing with the grief that consumed her.
"While the book starts off with her reasons for choosing to compete in the triathlon and her own personal motivations, it continues with a lot of helpful information on starting out in your training: training plans, parenting, and even how the triathlon saved her marriage.
"If you are looking for a running-related book that is a great mix of heartfelt writing and useful training information, check out Ironmom!"
