Making sure I understand - one thing I want to do in 2018 is improve my cycling performance in triathlons - so I could read Cycling Science

Maybe you meant this to go in 15.6? It works there.

I was planning to use Neon Genesis Evangelion, Vol. 1 for this task, because Yoshiyuki Sadamoto is a new author to me. But I noticed that Gainax is also listed as an author. Actually, Gainax is the Japanese anime studio that produced the anime from which the manga is based on, not the author of the manga. So, I'm wondering if I still can use the 1st volume of Evangelion for this task. Even if Gainax is considered an "author", I have not watched or read anything by this studio before.

We go by what's on GR - since Gainax is listed as an author, that's what we go by. However, since you haven't read anything by this studio before, or by the actual author, it doesn't much matter - you're good!

If it’s a author I discovered this season (ie i’m Reading a new author for another challenge) - does that count or should I switch books and make this first book?

January is traditionally a time for new beginnings. Read a book by a new-to-you author. If there is more than one author listed, all authors must be new to you. REQUIRED: Note in your post that you have not read this author before.
