The Golden Girl of British cycling opens up, for the first time, in
searingly honest detail about what drives her to compete in a sport
she no longer loves. Written with Donald McRae, 2-time winner of
the William Hill Award, "Between the Lines" is a gripping story of
success against the odds. Victoria Pendleton MBE is not your
typical female athlete. Admired as much by the weekly glossies as
she is the newspaper back pages, she transcends her sport. In 2005
she became first British female to win Gold at the cycling World
Championships in 40 years. She followed it up with gold medals at
the Commonwealth Games in 2006 and another World Championship in
2007. Arriving in Beijing for the 2008 Olympic Games, Pendleton was
on top of the world, taking Gold and joining the ranks of British
Olympic heroes. And then it started to go wrong. Feted by the press
and the public alike, behind the scenes the cracks and strains
started to show. Despite retaining her World Champion status in
2009, it was a close run thing and her shield of invincibility
started to drop. Victoria was falling out of love with her sport.
The sport that had made her was starting to tear her apart. Between
the Lines documents the considerable lows as well as the highs and
reveals what it took to turn her life around and achieve glory at
London 2012.
