I can't remember all the details that led me to wanting to participate in adventure racing, but this book was highly recommended. So, as is my tendency before starting a new hobby, I ordered the book and read about what I was wanting to get myself into. Great stories, exotic locations, and fantastic resourcefulness. I've only done one adventure race, but this book really helped me understand what I was getting myself into.
Skimmed; while I did not finish this book in its entireity (much of it was not applicable to the endurance athlete I am), it gave some basic information and useful advice for ultra athletes. This is geared towards team adventure racing, but still, interesting.
