Summary of Chrissie Wellington's A Life Without Limits

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The ironman is a contest against a fixed and unyielding foe: the race itself. It brings out the best in people, and it is a victory when you finish it.

#2 The Ironman race is a part of the folklore of the sport. It is a drama that captured the imagination of millions of Americans. The main question for the ironman athlete is, will I finish and at what cost. Even if your body does not break down through sheer fatigue, there is still a chance for an unexpected injury.

#3 The swim is the most beautiful and sublime moment of the ironman, but it is also the most difficult. The idea is to get ‘on the feet’ of the fastest swimmers, in other words to move in behind them and take advantage of their slipstream.

#4 The final leg is when even the best start to wrestle with their demons. After 112 miles sitting on an unforgiving saddle, crouched low over the handlebars to maximize your aerodynamics, and pumping your legs remorselessly, taking to your feet for the marathon can be a strange sensation.
