"This book chronicles a season with the University of Colorado Men's Cross Country team and their pursuit of the NCAA National Championship. While the events of this book are now nearly ten years ago, the story is still very compelling. Author Chris Lear spent the entire season with the team, including coach Mark Wetmore and All-American Adam Goucher. It is a fascinating read that delves into the personal dynamics of a team made up of individual performances and how the team comes together during the worst kind of adversity during their season. One of the truly enlightening things from a runner's perspective is just how close to the physical edge runners at this level live and train - constantly walking a tightrope between doing everything they can to reach their maximum potential without incurring a season-ending injury. The frustration of poor runs and the exuberance of breakthrough performances exist in the same race. It is a seldom-seen look inside a very tight knit group that doesn't let outsiders in. I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in competitive running, but if you don't, you will probably find it boring."
"This book wasn't bad - it assumes a basic knowledge of cross country at the college level and the terminology, so some of it wasn't that easy to decipher at first. Overall, a good story about a team that had its fair share of drama, injuries, and tragedy."
"Inspiring on the "look at what can be achieved if you set your mind to it" level. Uninspiring on the... these guys go 2 minutes faster than me at my best, every mile, for dozens of miles."
