First Edition "It's 1993, and Marty Dugard finds himself lashed to the corporate wheel, pursuing a successful career in marketing while watching his childhood dreams of world travel and high adventure slowly wither away. So he quits. And as he builds a new career as a freelance sports journalist, Dugard stumbles upon an opportunity to cover the Raid Gauloises, the notorious eight-to twelve-day race across hundreds of miles of some of the most forbidding terrain on the planet. It's a race that pits five-person teams from around the world against howling wilderness, extreme weather, injuries, and exhaustion. It's toughter than the Ironman triathlon, more grueling that [sic] the Tour de France. It's a race in which simply reaching the finish line is an accomplishment and a victory" [from the dust jacket] ISBN: 0070181292 Book is in Fine/As New Condition: pages bright, clean, tight, and unmarked.
