So far only available in Catalan, it goes on sale on the site in French from 31/10/2011!
I look forward to "get in the privacy of the champion" to understand a little to his motives in wanting to ever decrypt and especially his training in order to eat you alive next to UTMB!
This young rider Trail (yes, he has won everything but he's only 23 years old) is the opposite of Dawa Sherpa (my mentor!) but I feel ready to read his testimony, dissect his thoughts j ... 'would be a slightly less radical opinion on his person?
And you? What inspires you Jornet? Do you like the character? Do you understand young man?

Roll on 31/10/11!!
To me it represents a certain freedom, he saw the mountain since he was young and never left, he seems to live his desires and not to be life ...
To me it represents the fire of youth, nothing can resist him and yet I think it is humble, you can read the interview between dawa sherpa Jornet endurance in 88 mag.
It inspired me a lot for the trail as Dawa, now it would be more Sebastien Chaigneau inspires me.
He has the chance to live his passion and he is right to enjoy it, all he does for Kilan's Quest is really nice, beautiful images in the 4 corners of the world
@ Runmygeek
In fact I read on the itw No previous I had fun reading the responses of Dawa, one feels that he does not like the mentality of the Spanish ...
Not against Kilian Quest is simply fabulous!
@ Lamiricore
it's two worlds collide, for one it's a job for other means to travel the world.
the two visions are complementary without confrontation I find, Dawa happens to be ranked very well to train and practice without a job very hard to side (see the trace of Dawa).
I think Kilian become like Dawa later, they have more than 20 apart, the youth against the wisdom but the passion trail.
@ Lamiricore and runmygeek
it inspires me a deep respect as an athlete. For the rest, I do not judge because I do not know. I read this book out of curiosity because it is still mysterious to me.
For me, this is an extraordinary athlete with extraordinary physical abilities ... it is what Mark Trail Allen was at the triathlon, Karl Lewis in athletics, cycling Lance Armstrong, Airton Senna to Formula 1, Bjorn Borg Tennis ...!! ... Given my references, in what year was I born?!!
192 pages for 18 €! Strongly the French version!
Anyway a big man's Trail!
I think the photo of the book gives it a rating of "Boxer", which does not match the character who would usually rather friendly and smiling. But it's certainly more vendor ...
odd to write an autobiography at age 23 ... I hope it will not hide the part of alpi ski, I'm very interested, more than the trail for that matter!
The question is whether Amazon will not saturate the book launch!
I'm curious as the content of this book: how history Heidi or training giant book?
this is a kid who looks (through kilian quest) ultra accessible and generous "despite" his achievements and his popularity.

@ Toma
not really ... delivery not expected until November 15!
Perhaps before
: Euhj: A thousand congratulations to you Jornet I am in awe of your abilities, your humility and your zest for life. Thank you for us to vibrate small riders!
I do not think it should be "radical" on this guy because he's an ogre trail ... It is much more than that, and this is very interesting about it! (To read to the end!)

Indeed, after seeing the story on channel + frankly I was stuck in front of Kilian! This guy is becoming a big man's sport ... I liked its philosophy, its relationship to the mountain ... like what it is that the idiots who change their minds (I speak for myself here!)
It has become the icon of the trail, discipline in fashion this time it is!
It's probably something to with Salomon behind of course!
I have not read his book but I do not idolize someone! I love what he does and I think she is great to have buff skills like that! After when I look at the report of Canal +, it looks like a superhero, who has never wrong, who climbed peaks without spin, like a god! until one day, wanting to do too much, especially for media and advertising, I'm afraid that something happens as a good many "Mr. Mountain", Christopher Lafaye, lionel .... Terrey
Me my inspiration most of the guys just not world famous, but who are also gegene icons such as the many, the jhonny kéménoff, the betty, the colette: ahaha:
will I stop messing around
But know that all of us and someone! yes
court when I in my mountains I am free
when I saw "the king creeper" run, I told myself, I just go further.
Now that I read his book
I said, I just go much further
Offered for my 32nd birthday I'm devour (it will read very quickly with its large print ...). For now I understand the guy but in chapter 1 and 2 it speaks a lot of competition, performance ... not my thing ... follow @
@ GIRAUD: This is not Airton but Ayrton stp ^ ^ (thank you for the love of F1 that I am)
Beyond, to return to the topic, I read his book and contrary to what has been said in the comments, it is often at the limit during his various records ...
and having seen the man at the meeting, it's simple, we all loved it! Basically we Reunion we are "big heart" (= bad loser), and see someone other than a local win, we do not like it.
Yet Jornet has deceived the whole meeting, in its simplicity, modesty and its relative ACCESSIBILITY (it has not stopped to sign autographs during the race). We who were accustomed to our local tenors resentful, bad loser, who all too often the big head, I must admit it gave us another vision of the trail ...
