Susan and Carlos were unlikely friends. She was a young, overweight college professor and a bit of a trainwreck - juggling a divorce, a pack-a-day habit, and hiding empty boxes of wine under her bed. He was her boss, an Ironman triathlete, with life figured out. She was a whiner, he was a hard-ass. He had his shit together, she most assuredly did not.
Trash-talking workouts, breakdowns, a devastating diagnosis - this heartwarming story of training buddies reveals a deep and abiding friendship that traversed life, sport, and everything in between. Their journey reveals the inspiring power of sports and friendship to change lives forever.
Amusing and poignant, Life's Too Short to Go So F--king Slow is about running and triathlon, growth and heartbreak, and an epic friendship that went the distance.

Geschichte
Einmal eine Langdistanz finishen - fast jeder Triathlet hat diesen Traum. Die sportlichen Jahreshöhepunkte von "Tagesschau"-Sprecher Thorsten Schröder waren dagegen bisher immer die erfolgreiche Teilnahme am Hamburg-Triathlon und an den Cyclassics gewesen, bevor die Schwimmsachen und das Rennrad bis zum nächsten Frühjahr wieder im Keller verschwanden. Doch als sein Nachbar Fabian ihm von seinem erfolgreichen Langdistanzfinish erzählt, träumt auch Thorsten Schröder plötzlich davon, zum Ironman zu werden.

And race announcer Mike Reilly is known throughout the endurance sports world as the "Voice of Ironman." Every year, over 300,000 people around the world compete in a series of long-distance triathlons that test the outer limits of their physical abilities and mental toughness. Some do it for glory, some to test themselves, some to honor lost loved ones or colleagues, some to bring healing to their troubled lives.

Geschichte
Operation Ironman follows George Mahood's hilarious and inspiring journey from a hospital bed to an Ironman triathlon. After major back surgery, George set himself the ultimate challenge: A 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike ride, and a 26.2 mile run, all to be completed within 16 hours. He couldn't swim more than a length of front crawl, he had never ridden a proper road bike, he had not run further than 10k in 18 months...and he had never worn Lycra. He had four months to prepare. Could he do it?

Great Story
I liked this story from the beginning till the end. And I liked the speaker, too. I could not stop listening to this audio book and was a bit sad when it was finished. As I have done one Ironman myself I could totally feel with the author. I would definitely buy this audio book again.

Okay if you like very, very emotional stories
First half is quite good and entertaining especially if you’ve gone through an Ironman preparation yourself. Once the story takes a twist (I won’t reveal too much) this changes. I understand the author had a very strong relationship to the other person in the book but with all due respect, this was just too much of praising of a person that means a lot to the author. It starts to be overly emotional and tear-provoking. Much more a speech about the decency of a person (which I don’t doubt) than a story for outsiders interested in triathlons. Not my thing.
