Book Summary –
Anywhere But Home is a striking memoir that chronicles Anu Vaidyanathan’s transformation from a self-proclaimed “good Indian girl” and academic overachiever into an endurance athlete conquering some of the world’s most challenging triathlons—including Ultraman Canada, Ironman Canada, and the Half-Ironman World Championship. Vaidyanathan shares her journey with self-deprecating humor and courage, recounting training on unsafe roads, grappling with skeptical coaches urging her to marry instead of swim, and enduring daybreak runs chased by stray dogs. Beyond the physical feats, this story unfolds as one of personal liberation—escaping societal norms, exploring identity, and finding purpose through sheer persistence and resilience.

About the Author –
Anu Vaidyanathan is a celebrated Indian engineer, endurance athlete, writer, filmmaker, comedian, and entrepreneur. She holds degrees in computer engineering and earned her PhD in electrical engineering in a record-setting 26 months. A trailblazer in her sport, she became the first Asian woman to complete Ultraman Canada and qualify for major Ironman events—all while balancing her role as a mother and her career in academia and consulting. Her memoir received widespread recognition, even being long-listed for the Mumbai International Film Festival’s “word-to-screen” market in 2016.
