This may be better in the Sports section, but it is about books.

I have taken up sports rather late in life. I sucked at them at school. I have started reading biographies of sports people for inspiration. Was wondering if anyone had suggestions of ones that were really good?

I have recently finished No Limits by Michael Phelps (book was good - man is a legend) and I am a few chapters into Touching Distance by James Cracknell & Beverly Turner (which is extremely good).

I have Wiggo's, Ian Thorpe's, and the other Phelps book (Beneath the Surface) on the book shelf waiting.

Sports I do that I am interested in are Swimming, Triathlon, Cycling, Running, Athletics, Formula 1 (clearly don't do that one).

Anyone read a really good inspiring one?
