Sports Illustrated Highlights Chrissie Wellington

With a circulation of 3.3 million readers, this week’s Sports Illustrated issue showcases a two-page spread of defending Ironman world champion Chrissie Wellington. The feature Leading Off: Honor Roll captures Chrissie rolling across the Kona finish line in memory of John Blais and in support of the Blazeman Foundation.

In Hawaii, Chrissie broke the 17-year old course record as she won her third consecutive world championship crown in eight hours, 54.02 minutes.
