IN MY ELEMENT

Pip Hare is the CEO of Britains leading Ocean Race team, the 8th woman in history to finish the Vende Globe Yacht Race, a world record. Pip exemplifies passion, sheer determination and focus all of which have driven her not just to compete but to change the status quo in the low-sponsorship world of womens sport.

Growing up in land-locked Cambridgeshire, Pip had neither the role models nor the contacts to make a career in yacht racing. She realised that to succeed she had to create her own opportunities. If someone said I couldnt do it, I simply walked around them and found my own solution. Now she runs an international racing team attracting sponsorship contracts valued in the millions.

This, her first book, is both a gripping record of one of her toughest races ever and an inspiring account of the mental and physical strategies that have allowed her to discover, as a middle-aged woman, a life that allows her to live in flow and achieve success.
