This book is an inside look into the last 25 years of Ironman Canada in Penticton, B.C. The race started with humble beginnings and is today recognized on the world stage as one of the toughest and best places to race because of the special city it is held in, the unique geography that surrounds it, and the local flavour that keeps thousands coming back year after year.
The book will include a wide variety of photographs and stories, chronicling the journey that thousands have taken since its early beginnings as an ultra-race that only "crazy" people would dare to enter. IRONMAN will offer the reader an insider's look into what makes an Ironman tick. It will tell stories, not only from the top pros of yesterday and top pros of today, but also from unique age-groupers, such as the oldest male and female. It will also highlight the Ironman crews that keep Ironman races expanding through worldwide coverage and exponentially growing through the participants known as "the Average Joes and Janes."
IRONMAN will tell the story of all the amazing events, interactions, loves found, loves lost, and side-bar stories from pros that have never been told. It will inspire a whole new generation of Ironathletes to make the leap of faith and believe that he or she could also be called an Ironman!
