Melissa lives and trains over in Melbourne, Australia while working full time as a nurse. Melissa is the second woman ever to finish the Epic 5 - an event which consists of doing 5 Ironman distance triathlons (that’s 224km or 140 miles of swimming, cycling and running) every day over 5 days on 5 different Hawaiian Islands! If you love pushing your body and you want to know what it takes to really step outside your comfort zone, this is the podcast episode to take a listen to.

After writing down my 20 goals in 2015 it was time to take action and start making progress to achieving them. After a little bit of research I found the perfect triathlon to do to; The Cheshire Go Green Triathlon which is based in Nantwich, South Cheshire. This is an easy location for me to get to and it has the added benefit of the swim being done in a heated outdoor pool!
