The framework of the book is in four major sections. First, the runners discuss decision to run a 200 mile race along with their training and mindset. Also, along with the runners, there are insights from one of the runners crew. Second, the majority of the book takes the reader along the Bigfoot 2017, as each runner describes their run from aid station to aid station. While this run is competitive, the runners each express an underlying theme of ultrarunning: it's a community of runners, crew, pacers, aid station volunteers, radio operators, medical staff, race director, and associated staff. No one runs the race on their own.
The third section is the wrap up. Here's an amazing thing about the race , the top make and female finishers stay until the last person finishes... two days after they finished. The author has captured the community of underpinning very well. The final section consists of short biographical sects about each of the characters in the book along with a couple of other interesting Bigfoot 200 characters.
I'd recommend this book for current and aspiring ultrarunners, their family and friends that wonder what makes them tick and anyone that's interested in a tale of grit and epic adventure.… (plus d'informations)
