A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Cold-water ultra-marathon swimming is about as tough as it gets. When looking at swims, you ask if anyone has done it, if there are jellyfish, and if anyone has died trying it. On most swims, failure is more likely than success. What drives a person to swim long distances in cold water? Why attempt something could kill you? Where the Crazy People Swim lays bare the mind of a swimmer who honestly and candidly describes his fears, his motivations, and his ultimate goal—not only in swimming, but in life. While covered by a veneer of swimming and honesty about failure both in the water and out, this book is about setting outrageous goals and the definition of success.

Biographie de l'auteur :

Bacon, barbecue, and beef jerky. While this isn't everything you need to know about this author, it is a good start. All the proceeds from the sale of this book will go to Zanmi Lakay, a charity that helps street kids in Haiti.
