Trekking through Borneo, mountain climbing in Patagonia, navigating the rivers of Vietnam, racing bikes across the Andes Rusch s voyages saw her discover the adrenalin sport of adventure racing, stare down her doubts and fears, witness the tragic death of a friend, and rise toward a glass ceiling in sports.
