Sorry, for the German title ones more but this book is only available in German. It is written by Konrad Von Allem. And it describes his adventure the Gigathlon 2007. The first half of the book is a journal from the his preparation and training the second half is from the Gigathlon itself and the experiences he made including the reports from his supporters.

I will not go into de details here except for one thing: In the last half year of preparation Konrad swam 350km, cycled 8000km, biked 1200km, run 2000km, and made 800km by inline. This numbers are absolutely overwhelming.

As a short reminder for the not so sportive people who read my blog: The Gigathlon 2007 was a seven day competition with five disciplines (running, biking, cycling, swimming, inline skating) every day with the categories single, couple and team of five. Konrad Von Allem started as single wehreas I started in a team of five.

I recommend this book to every Gigathlet. Reading this book brings back nice memories and can help in the preparation for a future Gigathlon.
