awesome, awesome, awesome video!!!! Ive been training intensely for the past couple months for a half iron man, but im so scared that I may not make it…… any last minute advice??Last week I saw the movie, “Discover the Gift”, which talks about being true to yourself and do whatever you do best giving 100% of you all the time. I loved it! check it out!!! facebook. com/discoverthegift
This is awesome! I'm a volunteer this year (2010) at Body Marking and the Finish Line from 8 pm - Midnight. I'm about to pee my pants with utter crazy excitement and gratitude.
When you see a guy like Zamora win IM France 5 times in a row and do a marathon in 2 hours and 8 minutes you wonder why he doesn't go to the Olympics...
...until you ultimately realize that in IM there's no doping tests.
WWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. So motivated. Wellington is absolutely a beast. All these people are. I just did my first 70.3 a month ago and these people are animals. Go workout instead of sitting in front of your computer!!!!!!
Rangerdanger couldn't have said it any better, professional sports are being dominated by thugs. I mean just look at some of these athletes, they're arms are sleeved up with tattoos. What a way to represent for the children that look up to them. It's unfortunate.
@sportertje That girl is Chrissie Wellington and she is beyond awesome...3 straight world chanmpionships. She has never lost an Ironman distance race...EVER!!!
@jwbrown1969: Well, she probably has some special "nutrition" to help her if you know what I mean... Dominating the field like this is not natural - no matter the talent, training and determination!
@fornica83 - You don't know what you are talking about. Steroids would only add weight and water - poor for distance sport like this. Blood doping? Highly doubt it. HGH? Could be but again...doubt it. Why are there so many haters out there. What about hard work and outstanding genetics.
@fornica83 It actually is natural. Anyone who knows anything about triathlon knows that Mark Allen and Dave Scott were in this same boat back in the 80's and 90's.
What an amazing sport triathlon is. It's not like many other professional sports which are dominated by criminals and thugs who perpetuate the myth that personal value is a product of money and power. These triathletes are warriors pushing their limits to the boundaries of the human soul and proving every day that nothing is impossible.
Well said my friend! That is the reason why it has become my favorite sport! Everyday I push myself hard on the pool, running trails and im about to spend all my savings on a new tri bike! I know I will be doing this sport for many many years to come!
I wonder what her speed at the time of that overtaking was? looks in excess of 40 kph, yet this seems unlikey unless it was playing for the camera - any views? she is a machine!!
The first man from the swim is Benjamin Sanson the aqua man!!!!

I love this sport too but meantime i'm realistic enough to know that also in this great sport many criminals are involved.
Realism helps you not to get disappointed.

Since drafting is not allowed she must pass the opponent by some 10 meters. Thats why she has to speed up. But she is amazing though.
