About this listen
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.

A lovely tribute to an influential friend
A wonderful story of how friendships are made, maintained and celebrated. I would have liked to hear it in the authors voice.

The best triathlon story
Five months ago I started training for my first tri in 15 years, and started downloading audiobooks to motivate me on long Zwift rides. This was the first of about 10 audiobooks -- some narratives like this, some training guides.
Nothing has had the impact or resonance of this story. Seeing it in my library just now I have to rate it. It was a wonderful, simple, character-driven story that brought tri training to life through the story of two great characters.
