About this listen
Being the fastest cyclist in the world at the start line means nothing if your mind isn't strong enough to get you to the finish line
In 2018, Leigh Timmis became the fastest person to cycle across Europe—in just 16 days, 10 hours and 45 minutes—breaking the previous world record by an astonishing 8 days and 17 hours. But when he set out to break the record, Leigh wasn't just trying to conquer the road.
As he prepared his body for this ultra-endurance world record attempt, Leigh realized that he would have to confront deeper problems to make it to the finish line. Although test results showed that he already had the physical ability of an elite athlete, something was holding him back: his troubled mind.
With the support of psychologists and sports science experts, Leigh confronted the past that had left him with vulnerabilities he would need to understand and overcome in the pursuit of performance. Then, cycling for 14 hours a day, from the west coast of Portugal to the edge of Siberia, he embarked on far more than just a physical journey.
The Race of Truth is the remarkable true story of personal transformation against the clock, and the astonishing feats we can accomplish when we face up to our deepest fears.

Captivating and interesting behind the scenes insights
I loved this book. As with author-narrated books on Audible, I felt Leigh Timmis retold his story in a captivating and honest way. The narrative is a symphony of vivid imagery, painting a cinematic picture of the diverse countries Leigh cycled through. Leigh’s story has the ability to capture the essence of the ride, as he set out to achieve a Guinness World Record, by taking the reader with him as a silent companion on his journey. Leigh’s determination, resilience and moments of vulnerability make for a compelling and relatable read. The pace of the book is perfect. The highlights are exhilarating and the lows are poignant. I was invested from start to finish. Whether you’re an avid cyclist, an adventure enthusiast or someone seeking inspiration, this book is a must-read, I found this book interesting and inspiring. I loved learning about the behind the scenes preparation, the scientific approach, the gruelling training sessions and everything in between.
Great read 🚴🏻
