title: Running with Swords: The Adventures and Misadventures of an Irrepressible Canadian Fencing Champion
author: Sherraine MacKay
description: Sherraine MacKay is not just another athlete, and Running with Swords, is not just another sports book. MacKay is able to see the irony and humour in a life pursuing athletic excellence. Whether staying in youth hostels to save money or using her broken Spanish to inadvertently threaten a bank teller, McKay brings the reader along on her journey of self-discovery. Her intelligence, insight and quirky way of viewing the world are surpassed only by her humour. Who knew the world of a world-class fencer could be so inspiring and so funny? I found myself laughing out loud. (Robin Brown, The Inside Track, CBC Radio)<br /><br />Sherraine MacKay is a Canadian sports hero. She gives us insight into who she is as a person, educates us all on a sport that is building in Canada, and also tells us the successes and setbacks of a Canadian champion pursuing her Olympic dream. Every athlete has spent her life challenging themselves, wearing the maple leaf, and daring to represent this great country that we call home. Sherraine has done all of that and she tells us her story with humour, emotion, and most of all, truth. (Catriona Le May Doan)

  position you desire.
  
  2\. Being completely attuned to each other’s bodies.
  
  3\. Absolute dedication, no matter how many hours are spent sweating it out.
