"A thrilling, coming-of-age journey that will make you yearn to go on your own adventures.¿ - RUNNER'S WORLD
Anna was never anything like those `real¿ runners on telly ¿ all spindly limbs, tiny shorts and split times ¿ but when she read about New Zealand¿s 3,000-kilometre-long Te Araroa Trail, she began to wonder¿ perhaps being a `real¿ runner was overrated. Maybe she could just run it anyway?
Travelling alone through New Zealand¿s backcountry for 148 days, she scrambled through forests, along ridge-lines, over mountain passes, along beaches and across swollen rivers. Running up to 52 kilometres in a day, she slept wild most nights, and was taken into the homes and hearts of the kiwi people in between.
The Pants of Perspective is a witty, colourful and at times painfully raw account of a journey to the edge of what a woman believes herself to be capable of. It is a coming-of-age story which will lead you on a roller coaster ride through fear, vulnerability, courage and failure.
For anyone who has ever dreamt of taking on a great challenge, but felt too afraid to begin ¿ this story is for you.
