With only 40 competitors allowed in each year, this invitation-only event hosts some of the most superlative athletes on the planet. \u003ci\u003eThe Race Within\u003c\/i\u003e discusses the 30-year history of the sport and race director Jane Bockus, former Pan Am flight attendant who has never done a triathlon, yet has dedicated herself to keeping the event true to its founding spirit for decades. This book follows Jane, her assistants, and a small cast of athletes through an entire year--from the end of the 2012 Ultraman to the 2013 event--and shows how they faced new challenges to the growth and well-being of the event, and were forced to question if old traditions could survive in a world of constantly-evolving sports entertainment. Granted full access to the race and the athletes, author Jim Gourley presents a look at this unique event and examines what it means to truly love sports.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Gourley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1629370215\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781629370217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Triumph Books (IL)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Jim Gourley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078542946559,"sku":"9781629370217","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5328beb4-cdda-4150-8359-531707c5e300.jpg?v=1685476121","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-race-within-jim-gourley-9781629370217","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
