Ironmanlife: Chris Lieto and More than Sport

Kevin Mackinnon talks with the Ironman star who challenges athletes to live for more than sport
Friday April 15, 2011
I have no idea how Chris Lieto manages to do everything he does. I hope that I don't need to explain that he's one of the world's top Ironman athletes (three Ironman wins and a Kona runner-up finish in 2009) - or that he's rightfully considered one of the premier cyclists in the sport. Here's what's deceptive about Lieto, though. You don't get as good as he is without a ton of drive, but you'd never believe it talking to the laid-back, easy-going, 39-year-old Californian.

Kevin Mackinnon reports on an incredible day of racing at Memorial Hermann Ironman 70.3 Texas

While Chris Lieto's win here at Memorial Hermann Ironman 70.3 Texas will likely be remembered for his impressive 2:02 bike split on this extremely windy course, his impressive run might just signal the breakthrough we've been waiting to see for the 39-year-old American.

The day is done, the fight is over, some would say I lost, but the battle was won. I fought hard out there all day, took the risks to try and win and the day did not go as planned. I may have lost the ultimate prize of becoming world champion, but I pushed through some of the most difficult times in my professional career and came home with the prize of top American.
