Summary

In order to cope with a traumatic breakup and the uncertainty of life after high school, seventeen-year-old Miho decides to complete a triathlon and with the help of her family and friends learns just how far her determination can take herIt's spring of senior year in Oahu. While her friends are getting ready for college, Miho is deep in her misery after her boyfriend broke up with her without warning. Then inspiration strikes: she'll do a triathlon. An Ironman competition official race costs too much, so Miho's friends create one for her. The training is brutal for a girl who has never even run a mile-- at least she can bike and swim. With the constant support of her friends and her dad, Miho digs deep to find just how fierce her determination is and how many obstacles she can overcome in this race... and maybe even in her life. -- adapted from jacket
