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

MINNEAPOLIS, April 28, 2020 (Newswire.com) - 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.
