cmrIn my mind, you define a champion by how they handle adversity. On Saturday October 8, 2011, Chrissie Wellington overcame anything and everything that stood in her way to win her fourth-and most impressive-Ford Ironman World Championship title. A week after race day she came on to go through the bike crash, her recovery, her race day challenges and what just might be the greatest win of her amazing career.

    “Hills combined with headwinds make me happy.” Haha, truly a world champion, smiling her way to the finish. What a lesson on mental toughness.

    Yeah, she’s a great competitor, But I have to believe that if she took bether care of her health, she could be even faster. She seems to have more injuries and illnesses than most. Rest is the 4th discipline.
