Title: Adventure Racing, Guide to Survival by Derek Paterson ISBN: 0-9597769-1-5 Publisher: SPORTING ENDEAVOURS Pub. Date: 01 June, 1999 Format: Paperback List Price(USD): $16.95 |

Summary: Good Primer
Comment: This book would be an excellent choice for those just getting started in adventure racing (AR) or contemplating trying it and intending to do multi-day events. Experienced racers will also find some good tips, but might want to look for a more technical book if they want detailed information. It is a fast read and is well-written.
Rating: 4
Summary: How to Survive and Thrive in Adventure Racing
Comment: This is just the sort of book I was looking for. There is plenty of information for racers at all levels. Newcomers to adventure racing will benefit the most I guess, but the interviews with top racers do give away a few secrets that will help established racers. Steve Gurney's section on skills and techniques will prove very useful and it was fascinating to learn more of the history of the sport.
All the advice, whether on training, equipment, medical preparation or nutrition was easy to read, simple, practical and very useful. The full colour pictures are also very good, painting pictures that words can't convey.
This is a book that belongs in every adventure racer's library.
Rating: 2
Summary: Informative, but lacking
Comment: This book is written from a mainly Kiwi (New Zealand) perspective, and focusses on the Souther Traverse. It does a pretty good job of explaining the origins of adventure racing, but lacks the bigger, more global reach of today's races. This book is informative, but is still lacking. Like "The Toughest Race on Earth", this book also lacks in explaining the true training and lifestyle of today's racers.
