Halfway through ... quite good.

The author of Running With The Kenyans, is off this time to get enough points to get into the UTMB lottery. This compelling book is one part history, one part profiles of idiosyncratic characters in this niche sport, one part travelogue, and one part narrative of a serious middle distance runner fumbling with the demands of distances over 100 miles. As with Running With The Kenyans it is quite engaging.
