“Winning is everything,” was Coach Vince Lombardi’s advice and from the 1960s forward it became the measurement of success for competitive athletes, coaches and the media. But does winning really define success? Is winning really everything? Writer and runner Pam Cravez considers this question as she follows around sports medicine doctor and guru to Alaska’s hard core athletes, Jay Caldwell. Caldwell founded one of Alaska’s most noted wilderness races - Crow Pass Crossing – where athletes scale a mountain and cross a frigid glacier-fed river in bear country to become crowned winner. A modern-day Vince Lombardi, Caldwell has no interest in losers. This book bridges the distance between Caldwell’s definition of success and runners he calls “wannabes,” such as the author. It is a book for all of those people who’ve laced up running shoes and questioned why they ran. It's a book that explores reasons to run that don’t involve winning.
