Professional triathlete and reigning Ironman World Champion Chrissie Wellington tells us what keeps her moving!

“Overcoming more than I ever thought possible to win my fourth Ironman World Championship in Kona during 2011 was definitely the proudest moment of my career. I had a bad bike crash two weeks before, and sustained some serious injuries, which affected me psychologically as well as physically. In the race, I dug to the very depths of my soul and truly pushed beyond any limit I thought existed.”
