Show notes
Early beginnings in sport, driven, determined a perfectionist but channelled.
Trying out triathlon
A dislike for mediocrity!
Be brave enough to explore your talents
Physical environment, financial support, medical support combined with drive and agency create what is needed to succeed
No expectation or pressure for the first World Ironman attempt
Late qualification, accommodation half way up the volcano, a broken pedal - not the perfect prep but racing with no expectation.
Goal setting focus on process rather than victory
"Chrissie you're going to win this!"
A sense of euphoria
The process of an ironman equates to the rollercoaster of life: extreme highs and lows
The importance and the power of sport to create change
Rabbit in the headlights
Withdrawal from an Ironman due to illness
2011 bike accident led to 'just a flesh wound' and the freedom to race
Giving everything and being capable of overcoming more than Chrissie ever believed she could
