Canadian Shanda Hill is very fortunate to be alive. A dreadful accident on her BMX bike nearly ended her life in 2003.

Since that day in Vernon, Canada Shanda's life has been on a trajectory few could ever dream of, let alone realise.

Today Shanda is in rarified air as one of the greatest Ultra Distance Triathletes on planet Earth.

In this episode Shanda recalls her journey, as well as enlightening us what it takes to train, race, survive and thrive among some of the fittest athletes in the world. Imagine lining up for a race that takes more than 26 days to complete, while all you have for company is your wetsuit, bicycle and running shoes.

This episode is a fabulous insight to the world of Ultra Distance Triathlons and what makes its small global group of participants go through what they do every time that they toe the start line.
