Book Details

This book is about my decision to take on the HYROX challenge at age 76 with one of my sons, the training approach that I needed to perform with a focused intention, the obstacles and setbacks I encountered along the way, the responses I made to each of them, and the lessons I learned in the process. And, perhaps most of all, this book is about the innate need for us to genuinely challenge ourselves…to stretch beyond the expanding boundaries of comfort that our twenty-first century lifestyles are establishing for us…if we wish to become all that we’re capable of being in the one life we’re granted.
