World champion Chrissie Wellington has always had an overwhelming drive for self-improvement, an insatiable appetite for adventure, and a personal mantra to keep herself open to all that life has to offer. This mantra would yield two university degrees, a global travel adventure, and a career in international development. Chrissie was: working in the Himalayas when she first realized her love and capacity for endurance sports. She took another leap into the unknown and followed her new passion. Then, Chrissie Wellington surprised herself and the world by going from "accidental athlete" to Ironman World Champion in her first year as a professional. Since winning her first Ironman race in August 2007, Chrissie Wellington has dominated one of the most demanding sports on the planet, winning every Ironman distance race she has entered, including four Ironman World Championships in 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2011. In A Life without Limits, she shares the intimate details of her journey to success-the highs and the lows-along with the training, recovery, nutrition, and psychological strategies that have taken her to the top of the world.
