#129.2: Melissa Urie on Uberman&the Aftermath (Part 2) - a podcast by Jen Brown - Running and Triathlon Coach, Author and Mindset Coach for Women

In October 2019, Melissa Urie became the first woman to line up at the start of Uberman.

Described as the world’s most challenging ultra triathlon, it consists of a 34km swim, 644km ride and 217km run which Mel finished - becoming the first woman to do so - in a total of 135hr 15min - that's over 5 1/2 days! 

In the process, she also set a new swim course record for the event, finished second overall and smashed the previous course record by 31 hours. 

A long race requires a long conversation; Mel and I spoke for 2 hours about all-things Uberman so I have divided this conversation into two parts.

You can find Part 1 of that conversation here. In it, we covered her preparation and training, the logistics of the event and how the swim leg unfolded - here.

This is the second half of our conversation, in which Mel and I cover how the 644km bike, the 217km run leg and her recovery.
