Guest author Joshua Davis reads from his book

The Underdog - How I Survived the World's Most Outlandish Competitions

From bullfighting in Spain to skijoring, the sport of being dragged over ski jumps by a galloping horse, Josh has put himself physically on the edge in sports events all over the world. In the mp3 above he recounts his adventures in the Italian backwards running race, the Finnish sauna endurance trials, and how he became the lightest person (135 pounds) ever to compete in the US Sumo Wrestling Open.

Josh writes for Wired Magazine, also produces film.
