Default Re: Book Suggestions: Swimming To Anartica

I saw the 60 minutes clip of her as well. She was nice and all but I like Bob was kind of confused by everything, she seemed more lucky than inspirational to me. Someone inspirational to me is someone that fights through all odds and perseveres and in her case her body didn't react to the cold the way it was supposed to and her actual work done was a mile.

Now, I am not bashing her and that is why I said I was confused and that she "seemed" more lucky than inspirational b/c I haven't read the book and the little that I know of her, this is what I think. Maybe the book would enlighten me a little, but I just don't see how she wasn't more lucky than anything.
