Life's Too Short to Go So F*cking Slow

Lessons from an Epic Friendship That Went the Distance

De: Susan Lacke

Narrado por: Amy McFadden

Susan and Carlos were unlikely friends. She was a young, overweight college professor and a bit of a trainwreck - juggling a divorce, a pack-a-day habit, and hiding empty boxes of wine under her bed. He was her boss, an Ironman triathlete, with life figured out. She was a whiner, he was a hard-ass. He had his shit together, she most assuredly did not.

Trash-talking workouts, breakdowns, a devastating diagnosis - this heartwarming story of training buddies reveals a deep and abiding friendship that traversed life, sport, and everything in between. Their journey reveals the inspiring power of sports and friendship to change lives forever.

Amusing and poignant, Life's Too Short to Go So F--king Slow is about running and triathlon, growth and heartbreak, and an epic friendship that went the distance.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Life's Too Short...cements Lacke's reputation as the storyteller of endurance sports." (Salt Lake Magazine)

A friendship must read

My best friend recommended this book to me, and I couldn't wait to start it. I devoured the story in a day, even starting right over again when I finished. Fabulous stort telling, and the narrator NAILED IT. The emotions and personality came through beautifully.

I would listen to it again

I loved the story, the narration and the quality. I laughed hard and cried deep with this book several times. Thanks Audible!

A must listen

Whether a triathlete or not. A great love story of “just friends. The rare book that will make you laugh, cry, and totally motivate you.

Just what I needed

I just finished my first triathlon at the age of 47 and loved every minute. I lost a very dear person 5 years ago to colon cancer and your story was one I didn’t realize I needed to hear. Thank you for sharing your journey not only in training, but in the more difficult course of life.

Really great short story.

Really enjoyed this short story. The narrator was great. Fun little read that is inspiring and funny.

Nice surprise

Listened on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. The book was relatable and kept my attention from beginning to end. The performance was a perfect match for the material

Life is about making a connection

A short and engaging story about a life transforming connection with another human being. The lessons here are all implicit. Be amazing with the short life we are all given.

Amazing

She captures triathlon and life. Such a great story. I couldn’t stop listening to her story.

Beautiful

This was a very beautiful book. Easy and enveloping read. Portrays how the deep friendships are developed through sports and athletics….

Not your average running book

This was a short but outstanding book. This was so much more than just a book about running. It was wonderfully told and you will find yourself becoming very invested in the story. One of the best books I have listened to in some time.
