Chelsea Sodaro won the IRONMAN World Championship 18 months after giving birth to her daughter. She became the first American to win in over 25 years and shared thoughts with Fox News Digital.
The Reno, Nevada, resident told Fox News Digital in an interview that this championship is the pinnacle of all races.
Sodaro, shockingly, had only ever completed one IRONMAN prior to the World Championship — in June 2022. With just one full IRONMAN under her belt, Sodaro had to train hard for the championship. The triathlete trains roughly 25-30 hours a week across all areas of the race: swimming, biking and running. Training athletes such as herself also tend to lift weights and gain muscle to help them succeed in the race.
"My preparation had gone well, and I think I knew subconsciously that I was ready to have a great day," she said.
