Triple Ironman World Champion - Chrissie Wellington



Yesterday, whilst at the Triathlon, Cycling & Running (TCR) show in Surrey - I met Chrissie Wellington, without doubt the BEST triathlete in the world and possibly the nicest triathlete in the sport too! Such a legend!

A newcomer to triathlon in 2004, Chrissie has achieved amazing success and has won the Ironman World Championship in Kona in 2007, 2008 & 2009 (setting a new world record in 2009 too). A truly remarkable feat!

Chrissie took some time to sign photos before a live Q&A session organised by 220Triathlon magazine... Lots of great tips from Chrissie including nutrition strategy, mental toughness, mind tricks to get you through the race, as well as sharing some of her toughest training sessions... 100 x 100m swim, crazy! Certainly lots of tips to help us on our journey to San Francisco!
