A few years later, she left her job, her marriage, and a dissatisfied life and walked back into those mountains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn her new memoir, \u003cem\u003eThirst: 2600 Miles to Home\u003c\/em\u003e, Heather, whose trail name is \"Anish\", conveys not only her athleticism and wilderness adventures, but also shares her distinct message of courage — her willingness to turn away from the predictability of a more traditional life in an effort to seek out what most fulfils her. Amid the rigours of the trail — pain, fear, loneliness, and dangers — she discovers the greater rewards of community and of self, conquering her doubts and building confidence. Ultimately, she realises that records are merely a catalyst, giving her purpose, focus, and a goal to strive toward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHeather is the second woman to complete the \"Double Triple Crown of Backpacking,\" completing the Appalachian, Pacific Crest, and Continental Divide National Scenic Trails twice each. She holds overall self-supported Fastest Known Times (FKTs) on the Pacific Crest Trail (2013) — hiking it in 60 days, 17 hours, 12 minutes, breaking the previous men's record by four days and becoming the first woman to hold the overall record — and the Arizona Trail (2016), which she completed in 19 days, 17 hours, 9 minutes. She also holds the women's self-supported FKT on the Appalachian Trail (2015) with a time of 54 days, 7 hours, 48 minutes. Heather has hiked more than twenty thousand miles since 2003, including ten thru-hikes. An ultramarathon runner, she has completed six 100-mile races since August 2011 as well as dozens of 50 km and 50-mile events. She has attempted the infamous Barkley Marathons four times, starting a third loop once. Heather is also an avid mountaineer working on several ascent lists in the US and abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ingram Book Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48321991377132,"sku":"9781680512366","price":55.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781680512366-thirst-1.jpg?v=1788826102"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/heather-anderson.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
