    About this ebook

    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*cking Slow is about running and triathlon, growth and heartbreak, and an epic friendship that went the distance.

    • 5/5
      Well written,to the point, and lots of fun. Great book.
    • 5/5
      I too have a Carlos. Once you've known a guy like him, you'll never be the same. You also will want to throat punch him from time to time. Excellent book about friendship and not just for endurance athletes, but you will get more from it if you know how much it hurts when water from the shower hits where your workout bra chafes during a long run/ride.
    • 5/5
      Best book I've read for a long time. Moving, funny, personal and inspiring. Like an Ironman, you need to finish it in one go.
    • 5/5
      Great book and story, was not expecting to finish so fast
