Summary
Ironman is a sports phenomenon that has come to symbolize the very best of human striving, achievement, and excellence. 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.
Over the years, hundreds of Ironman athletes have shared their tales with Reilly. In this book, he tells some of the stories that have touched and inspired him, in the hope that they will do the same for the listener.
A young woman races in a contest against cancer that threatens her life. A soldier carries a flag through the full marathon distance to keep alive the memory of fallen comrades. Two of the sport's most decorated champions do battle in the greatest head-to-head competition ever seen in any sport. Parents put their family back together after the loss of a child.
Reilly has witnessed it all, and brings it to life in a series of riveting stories that will have readers re-thinking their notions of what people are capable of when pushed to their limits.

Just Wow!!!!!
Amazing insight into some of the most amazing stories of ordinary people overcoming adversity and going on to complete one of the toughest races in the world. I think the fact that Mike narrates this book himself it gives you a deeper connection to the stories. highly recommended.

Goosebumps !!
Mike captures the absolute joy of crossing the line and is able to somehow articulate the inexplicable thrall of IRONMAN.
Having been rendered speechless when I made it over the line (apparently that's ok !) I'd like to say 'thank you' now. Thank you for getting me over the line and thank you for writing such an amazing book. Aloha x

Great if you can get past the voice
As an Ironman finisher I really enjoyed the content. However, after a while, I just wanted Mike to read aloud in his normal voice, not his announcer voice. It got a bit much in the end.

Dissapointed
I’ve met Mike Reilly, he’s a really nice down to earth guy but I found the book disappointing. For me I would have liked more stories about the big rivalries and epic races interspersed with stories of those amazing athletes that overcame personnel struggles to prevail.
There was such an endless stream of people overcoming adversity that after a while I became numb to their achievements rather than want to celebrate them.
I love Ironman (I’ve done four) and Mike, but this book didn’t come anywhere near replicating the excitement, passion, and raw emotion experienced on race days.
