review 1: Very motivating. I am probably one of the few people who read who didn't know who was the actual winner of the race and instead of googling it once I started reading I decided to keep reading (listening) and see what happened. Interesting stories and backgrounds were built in and the anticipation began to grow and just as I was getting to the point of frustration the race finish was described. It is unfortunate that most of those who will read this story will already know the winner, because Matt Fitzgerald built to the climax perfectly.As even just a casual triathlete I feel obligated now to at least volunteer or spectate Kona now, and will have a lot more respect for what I am witnessing. I'm also even half tempted to enter the lottery... Great read for anyone, but a... more must read for even the most low key triathlete.
review 2: Horrible. I loved Secret Race (about doping in the cycling world) and I hoped this book would be fascinating too. It was horrible. It was filled with fluffy, repetitive text. He really didn't need 336 pages. 10 would do. I couldn't finish it. To make things worse, I listened to this book on Audible. The narrator sounded like a really bad jr high actor --- forced, over-acted, and unnatural.Avoid this book. Read Secret Race instead. less
