“For anyone familiar with the world of endurance running, riding, and the Ride & Tie, the faces and names will be familiar and their stories will entertain you. For those who never heard of any of these less than rational endeavors, there are lessons to be learned about discipline, hard work, asking more of your body than you think it is capable of doing, and the pure joy of accomplishment at achieving such lofty goals.
Frank adds insight from his professional experience as a clinical psychologist, and more than a few details of the pure hard work that it takes to succeed at any age. I enjoyed Frank’s portraits of some remarkable people. I think you will as well.” – Jeff Herten, MD (Dr. Herten has five Tevis buckles, two silver Western States 100 buckles, and nine completions in the Ride & Tie Championship.)
