Finally can announce I've received a book deal for THE ENDURANCE ARTIST. Was still up in the air during #lazcon - It's an honor to tell the story of LazarusLake, his races, and those rare souls that brave #bm100 #bigsbackyard and his other 🏃‍➡️. 👉 Fall 2025 🙏Laz + family 💯

Laz is really struggling at this point in the #lazcon - Not making the miles he needs. "Unsupportable," he says. "i have to go faster or i will end up having to stop... this is where i am and that is how it is. two things are possible. i get the job done. or i dont."
