Chrissie Wellington is a quadruple World Ironman Champion (2007, 2008, 2009, and 2011). Prior to her athletic career, she worked for the UK Government (the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs - Defra) as an advisor on international development policy.
"Empowering and suitably commemorative."
---Kirkus Reviews---
"What amazes me about Chrissie Wellington is not that she wins, but
by how much...Like Usain Bolt, Wellington has burst on to the scene
and destroyed the opposition. Those within athletics said that Bolt
was coming but Wellington came from nowhere and wins by a
relatively greater margin."
---James Cracknell, two time Olympic gold medalist, and
adventurer---
"What emerges from this book is the portrait of a thoroughly nice
woman. Her exceptional qualities have led her to achievements that
her readers can scarcely imagine. But she still remains touchingly
connected to that ordinary girl from Norfolk. It's a winning
combination."
---Jane Shilling, The Daily Mail---
