Chrissie Wellington had one of the most impactful Triathlon careers in the history of the sport.
Becoming a professional Triathlete in 2007, she went onto win 4 Ironman World Titles and smashed world records at the Ironman distance seemingly every time she raced.
A five-year career that left a mark on the world of endurance sport like no other.
Her resume is incredible:
She won the Ironman World Championship, on three consecutive years (2007–2009).
Winning The 2007 IM World Championships on debut, a feat that’s almost unheard of.
She wasn’t able to start in 2010 due to illness but regained her title in 2011 after crashing her bike only 2 weeks previous.
She lowered the IM distance world record each time she raced Challenge Roth, her fastest time there being 8hr18mins – that was 32minutes in front of 2nd place.
An incredible athlete and remarkable human.

Phil Liggett is a very special guest.
A man who has played a significant role in bringing bike racing out of Europe to the rest of the world.
For almost 55 years he’s been a cycling and Olympic journalist and commentator. For 47 years straight he’s been commentating the Tour de France… in fact, this is the first year in all that time he has been home for the month of July.
But he’s more than a journalist and a commentator, he is someone who has followed his passion, turning it from a hobby to a career and you can hear it in his voice… he loves the bike racing, he loves the athletes, he loves the scenery and he loves the history, he loves the team that surrounds him, and each moment of every race he sees something unique and special.
I’m a Triathlete and that has always been my passion. But my love for bike racing is because of this man. There is something comforting about his voice…
This was an honor and a privilege to chat with Phil. His stories are colorful and entertaining.

Two-time IM 70.3 World Champion, with his win in 2018 as one of the greatest performances I’ve ever witnessed only matched by his race win in Kona in 2019
