Book Review: |

"Not only do big boys try, but they also succeed in Michael Pate's inspirational story. Guts, determination, humor, failure and success can all be found in When Big Boys Tri. Michael Pate shows that athletics is not about the shoe contracts, million dollar deals and entourages. It is about overcoming your own fears and tying up your tri shoes one more time to accomplish your goal." Author Payne Williams
"I read Michael's book cover to cover in one sitting. It is highly motivating and I related to his journey in every chapter. His writing is filled with vivid word pictures and I found myself laughing out loud one minute and crying the next. I recommend this book to anyone who aspires to 'get in the race' rather than merely spectating."
