The Thrill of Victory, The Agony of My Feet : Tales from the World of Adventure Racing

Editorial Reviews
Book Description

Following the success of Breakaway's First Marathons and Running Through the Wall, this is another in our series of first-person accounts of endurance and ultra-endurance competition, bringing the reader a fascinating subjective description of the race. Adventure racing is a rapidly growing sport in which competitors race for days on end, running, then paddling or hiking, climbing or cycling, through the most hostile terrain imaginable. These stories are full of hallucinations brought on by exhaustion and sleep deprivation, and the endurance needed makes a simple marathon seem like a Sunday stroll.

Neal Jamison is the author of Running Through the Wall. Nic Stover and Maureen Moslow-Benway are adventure-racing competitors and journalists.
