review 1: While I think Sister Madonna is an awesome athlete and an inspiration, eventually it did begin reading like a laundry list of injuries and the angels that helped her. I'm not sure how it could have been composed differently, but just be prepared. She also jumps around a lot from year to year.Still, it's fascinating to read about someone who has done and continues to do what she does! it *almost* makes me want to consider a Tri. ALMOST.
review 2: Enjoyed this book and was certainly inspired by the attitude that age really means nothing. Challenge yourself and move forward. “I found peace in the realization that if God gives you a talent, He expects you to use it. You don’t need to apologize for His gifts, only for neglecting them. you are honoring you
... morer Creator by making use of them. Not doing so would insult his generosity.” less

This book was very inspirational!! Sister Madonna is living proof that age is a state of mind.
