The story telling was top-notch and beautifully described the emotions of the athletes. I honestly had no idea the Tarahumaras were such badasses. The lengend of Caballo Blanco (the gringo that went to live among the tribe) and the science explained in this book has made me want to put on my shoes (actually, take them off and replace them with running ‘huaraches') and pound the track again. I don't think I have any Raramuri blood in my ancestry, but I feel a desire for spiritual connection with these people.
