Chrissie Wellington wins Ironman Hawaii

Runner in Hyde Park

Serpie till 2003 when she moved north, Chrissie won the gold medal today in the Kona world IM championships

It was only Chrissie’s 2nd Ironman (her first was a few weeks ago in Korea) but she doesn’t seem to have been affected by it, finishing in 9:08:45 with a sub 3 hour marathon.

You can vote for Chrissie as ‘Female Elite Long Distance Athlete of the Year’ on the British Triathlon website – http://www.britishtriathlon.org/news/article.php?id=9454
