"Win or Lose, you will never regret working hard, making sacrifices, being disciplined or focusing too much. Success is measured by what you have done in preparation for competition." - John Smith

Triathlon is not just a sport. It is a means to build bridges, break down barriers and change lives. Once TRIbal members experience triathlon, they experience a new way of living – empowering themselves, their families, friends, and over time, whole communities.

Our global TRIbe helps makes sure that a sense of fear doesn’t stand in the way of one woman’s, or one girl’s, motivation to achieve her dreams. Once women GOTRIbal , they experience a personal transformation that empowers them – and challenges them - to rethink what is possible.

Ultimately, they are positively impacting themselves, their families, their countries, their world.

The beauty is in the model: our Pay It Forward process. It’s simple. As a more experienced triathlete you were given the gift of someone’s belief in you; you trained, you raced, you accomplished. Now you pay that gift forward.

I forgot about CIM. I'm still hopeful I can be cleared to run again and get on a relay team at the last minute. I'm actually okay for Thanksgiving weekend too. I am thinking we could meet at a restaurant for brunch or at a store that sells somet...

I am so proud and excited to be involved in the development of GOTRIbal ....by Chrissie Wellington


Four years ago I was asked whether I would ever do an Ironman. My response? ‘No way, you must be completely mad to do something like that!’ Imagine if I had never gone back on my word, if I hadn’t changed ‘I can’t’ to ‘I can’, if hadn’t dared to push myself harder, and most importantly what if I hadn’t had people to support, encourage, mentor and most of all make me believe in ME?
I never ever thought I would be able to run a half marathon, and once I finished my first in 2002 I realised it wasn’t such a big hurdle after all. I never thought I could kayak over 40miles, but again, once I had done it, the insurmountable dream became a reality. And I never ever thought I would be crowned World Ironman Champion, but in 2007 and 2008, I achieved more than I ever thought possible.

We all have our own personal barriers, be they mental or physical. We are all nervous about trying new things and giving ourselves bigger mountains to climb. We all worry about the ‘what if’s’ and, of course, we are all scared about being seen in public wearing lycra…

But in reality there are no limits to what you can achieve, in sport and outside. Only the limits you place on yourself. So whether it is a walk, a 5km run or an Ironman, if you have faith in yourself and a support network around you, those colossal mountains can truly feel like mole hills once you have scaled them.

But we cannot do it alone. And that is why I am so proud and excited to be involved in the development of GOTribal – a global movement which aims to encourage and help people around the world, particularly women, raise their own bar that little bit higher - providing them with a cocoon of support in which they can grow, flourish and become the athletes that they never thought they could be. And like a snowball the ‘pay it forward’ support process will roll around the world, growing and building as it gathers energy and momentum: building bridges, breaking down barriers, inspiring confidence, encouraging participation and enabling people to realise their dreams. No matter who they are.

GoTribal will help you change ‘I can’t’ to ‘I can’ – good luck!
Chrissie Wellington
World Ironman Champion 2007 and 2008

Moms, media & sports

So Karin's post the other day got me thinking about moms and athletes. Specifically moms who are athletes. And more specifically moms who are professional athletes.

Then I stumbled upon a study from Penn State about the media coverage of Serena Williams' outburst during the U.S. Open (remember, she was rather forceful with her opinions with the officials?). The study said the coverage reinforced gender stereotypes, particularly when the stories contrasted Serena to eventual winner Kim Cl… Continue

Woman... Athlete... Mom

Reading Amy's recent post about NYC marathon winner Derartu Tulu got me thinking about how different it is for female and male athletes. Of course, not all women athletes have children but for those who do, a new baby brings more changes than just your typical "holy-cow-my-life-is-never-going-to-be-the-same" business.

From the moment you conceive, your body is not your own. You are then sharing it with a new life form that is completely dependent on what your body has to give it. In my own expe… Continue

NYC Marathon

While watching the New York City marathon on Sunday I was amazed at the ease with which Derartu Tulu seemed to be running, the kick she had at the end to pull off her second major marathon win.

As I read more about her online in the hours afterward, I found I wanted to know so much more about this 37-year old mother of two from Ethiopia.

In her post race comments, she said that she struggled for much of the past three years after giving birth to her second child. She had gained nearly 40 pound… Continue

My non triathlon hobby

So a few of you know that my good friend Carmen got me into triathlon as she thought it would be great cardio and cross training for the Breast Cancer 3 Day we'd be doing this November. As the months went on most of you know i've gotten just a tad bit addicted to tri's. With November being such a busy month for me with The Catalina Island Triathlon (race #7) this weekend and 2 weeks later my walk I wanted to throw this out to you ladies. So many of you have helped me over the year with my traini… Continue
