As James was heading out on the run, the first place woman was coming in. Now, Chrissie Wellington is not your ordinary woman. Fans of the Ironman will tell you that she is a BEAST! She won the first Ironman World Championship she ever competed in (2007), and the second (2008) and the third (2009)! Chrissie did not compete in 2010 because of illness. She broke the course record in 2009 and was just a minute shy of her own record when she finished this year!
As if all this was not remarkable enough, Chrissie Wellington almost broke the course record for the Ironman World Championship this year, after ending up in the hospital after a bike accident 2 weeks before the race! Is this woman human? That is a question many have asked! She is undefeated at the Ironman level.
