An incredible but true account of achieving one of the most
awe-inspiring midlife physical transformations ever
In October 2006, the night before he was to turn forty, Rich
experienced a chilling glimpse of his future. Nearly fifty pounds
overweight and unable to climb the stairs without stopping, he saw where
his sedentary lifestyle was taking him. Most of us look the other way
when granted such a moment of clarity, but not Rich. Plunging into a new
way of eating that made processed foods off limits and prioritized
plant nutrition and daily training, Rich morphed-in mere months-from
out-of-shape midlifer to endurance machine. Ninety days into his
physical overhaul, Rich left the house for a light jog and found himself
running a near marathon. It was time to scale up his goals.
How many of us take up a sport at age forty and compete for the title
of the world's best within two years? Finding Ultra recounts Rich's
remarkable journey to the starting line of the elite Ultraman World
Championship competition, which pits the world's fittest humans against
each other in a 320-mile ordeal of swimming, biking, and running.
Following that test, Rich conquered an even greater one: the Epic5
Challenge-five Ironman-distance triathlons, each on a different Hawaiian
island, all completed in less than a week.
This is more than an inside look at a series of jaw-dropping athletic
feats or a practical training manual for those who would attempt a
similar transformation. Yes, Rich's account rivets and instructs,
providing information that will be invaluable to anyone who wants to
change their physique; but this book is most notable as a powerful
testament to human resiliency, for as we learn early on, Rich's life has
posed numerous physical and social challenges, including a fierce
battle with alcoholism.
Ultimately Finding Ultra is a beautifully written portrait of
what willpower can accomplish. It challenges us to rethink what we're
capable of and urges us, implicitly and explicitly, to "go for
it."
