Great article on Chrissie

If it's of interest, this is a great writeup on how Chrissie Wellington got her start in triathlons, her past, her future, her training, some great quotes, her attitude, and more. 


Here's one of many good paragraphs: 

"In this sport we don't like to use the word pain. We prefer to describe it as a high level of discomfort. Discomfort is something you can control, and when you're a racehorse like Chrissie you can ratchet up the discomfort to extraordinarily high levels. When it becomes painful, that means you are out of control – and in an ironman, losing control is something you never, ever want to do."
