Whether she is first or last she will never lose my respect

Yea this was a half ironman. Just how Julie was passed at Kona, by the women's champion this year Chrissie probably would have passed her on the run if it were a full ironman. But yes this was a half ironman in this clip.

J'adore l'humilite de ses super sportives.

Fantastic triathletes! I hope this sport will keep being what it is, humility, dedication, dicipline...and respect!

Merci a tous les triathletes!

My 14 yr old daughter is transitioning from just cycling to triathlons because of Chrissie. What a great example for our kids!!!!! I'm glad she has Chrissie as a role model and not some fo the teen rock stars!!

@rnperkins Too right and well said!!! What a fantastic lady she is too. Hard work, dedication, dilligence, and SMILES - will get you where you want to be in life. Best of luck to your daughter in whatever she does. Triathlon is the best but there's nothing wrong with just swimming! x

this is interesting because the comentators at the IM world champs this year kept saying chrissie was undefeated at the distance but clearly not. Maybe they were refering to 'IM' branded events.

@jontihobday - She is undefeated at full ironman events. This is a half-iron distance race.

[trimanjp]

Ya they where just meaning she is undeafeted at the Ironman Distance, not 70.3. She is great though and a true inspiration.
