Stephanie White, from Charlotte NC, made up her mind to tackle the three individual 200-mile distance races known as the Triple Crown of 200’s. This includes the Bigfoot 205 mile race, Tahoe 200 mile race, and the Moab 240 mile race.
While trying to figure out how to train for these races, she decided to do a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail and learned so much about herself and life, in general, along the way.
This is the tale of her adventure as a solo thru-hiker and finisher of all three long-distance races, the ups and downs of a thru-hike, and the challenges of such a long and grueling series of races that are set one month apart of each other.
She goes into detail of the mental and physical challenges she faced and how she came out at the end a much more confident, driven, and grateful person.
Enjoy the adventure from the approach trail of the Appalachian Trail to the flight home from Moab in this epic journey an average woman from NC set her mind to experience. This life-changing adventure not only showed her what genuine compassion from trail angels felt like but also how strong she was from within herself to be able to concur all types of challenges.

Well done

However, save your time and skip the book. This is by far the worst book I've listened to in a long while. It reads like a series of bad (undescriptive, vague) blog posts - there is no story arc, the author is constantly "telling" rather than "showing" (and even then, the telling is rather undetailed and boring - I can't tell you how many times she says she's "excited" or that "things are awesome"). At best, it's rather bland and boring. At worst, it's repetitive (literally there was an entire 30 seconds that was word-for-word repeated between two chapters), misogynistic (the author has very much internalized a lot of "men" vs "women" stereotypes - apparently only the men on trail think about eating pizza and drinking beer in town; having emotional needs met is something that is important only to women; there are repeated instances of the 'men as saviors/protectors of women' trope), and fear-mongering (there is an entire story about how she avoided a 'really bad situation' with some man on trail, all based ON A DREAM SHE HAD before ever getting on trail. In the meantime, there is no evidence at all that this man was anything but normal - he never attacked her, there were no reports that came out later on that anyone was being attacked on trail....).
The performance doesn't help things, either. The voice actor sounds like she's talking patronizingly to a group of kindergarteners. That said, it's hard to tell how much of that is really the voice actor or if it's the terrible writing (which is so simplistic that it sounds like it's written for children).
Remarkable Achievement, TERRIBLE Book
