內容簡介
An exploration of incredible physical feats--some well-known and some only passed around watering holes and campfires--"that will have readers cheering" by endurance athlete and journalist Shannon Hogan that takes us into the world of those who have pushed themselves through the "unforgiving hours" to achieve greatness and redefine modern outdoor adventuring. (Publishers Weekly) From the frozen wilds of Alaska's treacherous trails and the rugged majesty of Colorado's peaks to the unyielding currents of Puget Sound and Canada's Inside Passage, The Unforgiving Hours offers us an intimate window into the toughest contests in sports. Whether it's a blistering race across the furnace trails of gold country in the Sierra Nevadas, a grueling swim in frigid water to break the Ice Mile Distance record, or a competition on the biggest triathlon stage with a determination beyond perceived limitations, each journey reveals the resilience and humor it takes to face the unknown and achieve endurance sports greatness. These stories of ordinary women and men who kept going even when things went wrong, especially when the weather and tides did not cooperate, attest to the drive, grit, and patience that exists in all of us. Pushing through exhaustion, setbacks, and moments of darkness and doubt, these athletes prove that greatness isn't about perfection--it's about perseverance. Their triumphs, large and small, are a testament to the power of adaptability, passion, and the sheer will to keep going, one breath, one step, one stroke, and one mile at a time.
