Shanda Hill Does it Again

Oct 8, 2017 | 6:16 AM

Ultra triathlon veteran Shanda Hill has done it again conquering a 678 kilometre race with hours to spare.

The 35-year-old athlete crossed the Triple Anvil finish line in Virginia, which featured a 12 kilometre swim, 540 kilometre bike ride and 126 kilometre run, all to be completed within 60 hours.

Her time in this year’s Triple Anvil of 55:22:31 fell short of her goal of 50 hours, however, that was because of the need to sleep and replenish her electrolytes Friday night.

Other than some blisters on her feet, she said she finished the race uninjured.

“I don’t think it’s as bad as people say. I think half of the problems in this life is lack of activity,” said Hill.

Hill is no stranger to the course, having finished first among women and fifth overall in Virginia’s Quintuple Anvil last year.

From her Facebook Page Shanda said…I finished the Triple Anvil, 11.4km swim, 540km bike and a 126.6km run, 50% humidity and highs of 30′ during the day. 1st

female overall and 5th out of 12 athletes. 60 hour cutoff and I finished with 5 hours to spare.
