<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>In this Young Readers Edition of <i>Impossible First</i>--perfect for fans of <i>My Shot</i> by Elena Delle Donne and <i>Shaken</i> by Tim Tebow--Colin O'Brady vividly recounts his fifty-four-day, unsupported, record-shattering solo crossing of Antarctica using every ounce of his strength, years of training, and sheer force of will.</b> <p/>Prior to December 2018, no individual had ever crossed the landmass of Antarctica alone, without support, and completely human-powered. But Colin O'Brady was determined to do just that--even though ten years earlier a tragic accident raised doubts that he'd ever walk again normally. <p/>O'Brady's quest drew him into a head-to-head battle with British SAS Captain Louis Rudd--also striving to be "the first." Enduring Antarctica's sub-zero temperatures and pulling a sled that initially weighed 375 pounds in complete isolation and through a succession of whiteouts, storms, and a series of near disasters, O'Brady journeyed 932 miles to a world first. Honest, deeply moving, filled with moments of vulnerability--and set against the backdrop of some of the most extreme environments on earth, from Mount Everest to Antarctica--<i>The Impossible First</i> reveals how anyone can reject limits, overcome immense obstacles, and discover what matters most.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Colin O'Brady is a world record holding explorer whose feats include the world's first solo, unsupported, and human-powered crossing of Antarctica, speed records for the Explorers Grand Slam and the Seven Summits, and reaching the highest point in all fifty US states in a record-breaking twenty-one days. He and a crew became the world's first team to row a boat across the treacherous Drake Passage from South America to Antarctica. A Yale graduate, he is a renowned speaker and expert on mindset whose work has inspired millions.
