Chasing Horizons: Memoirs from the Ultimate Road Race Experience with Author Edward M Rahill

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Edward M Rahill, author of the book One Mile at a Time. Ed’s fascination with endurance road racing was sparked as a young boy when he tuned in to the iconic 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans. Born and bred in Western New York and an alumnus of the University of Notre Dame, Ed carved out a successful career in the energy sector. As CFO of ITC Holdings and later as the Founder, President, and CEO of GridLiance, a Blackstone Company sold in 2021, Rahill showcased his leadership and innovation. Yet, ever faithful to his philosophy of life, upon completing this book, he already has his sights set on his next exciting venture.

 

Ed holds a place in the annals of history as the cross-continental endurance road race record holder, boasting the fastest time in a competitive road race stretching from Boston to San Diego. His debut novel, One Mile at a Time, is more than a chronicle of this thrilling feat. It’s a tribute to a promise made to his grandmother — that his children’s generation would finally shatter the cycle of broken dreams. With its publication, Ed’s commitment has beautifully come to life.

 

Currently residing in Atlanta, Georgia, Ed is a record holder, a successful businessman, and a proud father of four adult children. His story is one of grit, endurance, and the power of dreaming big — his story leaves readers captivated and inspired.

 

In my book review, I stated One Mile at a Time is a memoir about winning a cross-country road race - and a whole lot more.

 

Edward starts his memoir in a childhood surrounded by cars as well as lessons learned from his grandmother. Her long talks with Ed often resurface during life's difficult challenges. His hope is to have the chance to offer the same kind of advice to grandchildren of his own.

 

I was interested in this memoir because of my ride across the US on a tandem bike. Though not a speed race, there is something similar to the idea of making it across the country. My father also loved cars and speed, so maybe there is a touch of it in my own blood.

 

These races have been done on horse, car, bike, and foot - what's next? I enjoyed this memoir and think you will, too.
