Summit Vision captures the lessons learned and experiences enjoyed by Graeme Fraser (then a 45 year corporate lawyer) as he undertook the daunting "Challenge" of completing five major endurance events in South Africa in the year 2000.

What started as a casual discussion about how to celebrate the advent of the new Millennium, became a life-changing series of events. In a single year Graeme took on the Dusi Canoe Marathon (3 day kayak race over tortuous terrain along the Umsindusi and Umgeni Rivers), the Midmar Mile (the biggest open-water swim event in the world - across a major dam), the Cape Argus Cycle Tour (the world's biggest timed cycle race over 109 kilometres around the Cape Peninsula), the world famous Comrades Marathon (run between Durban and Pietermaritzburg covering 90kms) and an ascent to Uhuru Peak on Mount Kilimanjaro

Each event has a reputation for testing the endurance of the participants to the utmost. Graeme's challenge was to do all 5 events in one year!

Readers will learn how Graeme (a novice in all the events) convinced himself (and 34 others) to attain this unique achievement which many ridiculed as being impossible. He describes not only the 10 major life lessons he learned, but also gives practical tips and techniques for tackling each of the five events in the Millennium Big 5 Challenge - which can be applied to undertaking any challenge life sets for you. Even writing a book!
