Sparta Chicks Radio: Mindset | Confidence | Sport | Women

In October 2019, Melissa Urie became the first woman to line up at the start of Uberman. Described as the world’s most challenging ultra triathlon, it consists of a 34km swim, 644km ride and 217km run which Mel finished - becoming the first woman to do so - in a total of 135hr 15min - that's over 5 1/2 days!  In the process, she also set a new swim course record for the event, finished second overall and smashed the previous course record by 31 hours.  A long race requires a long conversation; Mel and I spoke for 2 hours about all-things Uberman so I have divided this conversation into two parts. You can find Part 1 of that conversation here. In it, we covered her preparation and training, the logistics of the event and how the swim leg unfolded - here. This is the second half of our conversation, in which Mel and I cover how the 644km bike, the 217km run leg and her recovery.
