About This Item

The author's amazing story of his journey from a middle-aged couch potato to a World Marathon champion.

He describes in detail each individual contest, originating in Antarctica and ending in Australia, and the physical, emotional and psychological sides of the grueling stage race. Illustrated from photographs. 186 pages. A special laminated illustrated bookmark included.
