Training and completing an Ironman World Championship takes a remarkable kind of human.
Superhuman in their mental and physical strength, it’s not the average goal of average Australian.
Of course, 29-year-old burns survivor Turia Pitt is not an average Australian, nor has she ever harboured average goals.
Pitt first made headlines after she became trapped in a bushfire while competing in an ultramarathon in WA five years ago.
Now, in an interview this weekend with News Corp’s Weekend magazine, Pitt revealed the extent of her Ironman training that will catapult her onto the world sporting stage when she kicks off in Hawaii tomorrow.
