Running with Champions: A Midlife Journey on the Iditarod

Running with Champions: A Midlife Journey on the Iditarod Trail

Lisa Frederic was just your average Alaska fisherwoman when a vacation in Nome to see the burled-arch finish of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race changed her life forever. The mushersâ€™ devotion to their dogs and the sheer grit required to complete the epic race lit a spark in Lisa. She started as a volunteer at checkpoints along the race, became an apprentice to Iditarod champion Jeff King, and, finally, mushed her own dog team in the worldâ€™s greatest sled dog race.
Running with Champions is Lisaâ€™s riveting account of her amazing journey, from head-bashing encounters with trees along the trails to the panic of losing control of a powerful team of dogs in the wilds of Alaska, all leading to her first attempt as a forty-something at the Big One: the 1,049-mile Iditarod. Lisaâ€™s inspiring story speaks to everyone who has ever followed a dream and found that the dream realized is even bigger than the imagined one.
