Miscellaneous
Melissa Urie is in an entirely different category of ultra-endurance athletes. Getting her start in the endurance world to lose weight and get into shape, she’s now broken several world records. Melissa has completed the Epic 5 in Hawaii, 3 Ultraman triathlons, and is now the 1st female to have ever completed the Uberman, which she did just a couple of weeks ago. Melissa said that Uberman was always about the adventure… not so much the race… and she held onto that adventurous spirit for the entirety of the challenge, which took her 135 hours to complete. Melissa gives much-deserved credit to her crew members who were incredible, each one being integral to her success. After completing the Uberman, Melissa can now claim to be the: - 1st female ever to line up - 1st female ever to complete Uberman - Swim course record holder - Second fastest overall finisher When it was all said and done, Melissa smashed the previous course record by approximately 31 hours. I know you will be just as fascinated by Melissa’s story as I was.
