Surviving the Toughest Race on Earth
Author: Martin Dugard
The author covers the six-to-twelve day races that would cover up to 500 miles of climbing, swimming, navigation, kayaking, and more as a journalist before he began competing in them. The book is a dramatic, fascinating, intensely personal story of adventure racing written from his dual perspective as a journalist and an athlete.

I picked up this book by accident with no expectations. I had never heard of the Raid Gauloises. I was completely enthralled with the descriptions of the exotic locales and amazed by the superb athleticism and grit of the team members. It made me want to join an adventure race--but also immensely grateful that no team would ever invite me as a member. These athletes are tough!
