I'm wondering if this was the last book Lance Armstrong ever wrote a forward for. That part was... entertaining in hindsight. It couldn't have been long after this book was published that the doping allegations came out.

But I digress. I enjoy reading sports memoirs, and Chrissie Wellington's is both interesting and entertaining to read. Recommended if you're into endurance sports, triathlon, or just super interesting women doing awesome things.

I heard people say Chrissie Wellington is the female Lance Armstrong. You can hardly miss her in any triathlete magazine. What many people don't know is her work with aid organization before she became a professional athlete. A life Without Limits is a well written autobiography on a truly remarkable athlete. Here is a person who worked with the homeless and realized that huge aid organizations may not be the best at help solve the world's poverty problems. She is also an athlete that no one seems to call “scandal” on. From all I have heard, she is much more personable than many athletes. She has an active Twitter account that personal rather than just a publicity page. Here is a world class athlete that shouldn't be considered the “Female Armstrong”, rather Armstrong should be so lucky to be the male Chrissie Wellington.

Disclosure -- I received an autographed edition of this book from a co-worker at Interbike. Regardless it is going on the top shelf on my bookshelf.

It's nice to read a memoir that doesn't scream "I am the greatest. No one will ever be better than me!" Chrissie Wellington meets my definition of a true champion: an amazing athlete and a good human being. If you're looking for some interesting stories and a good dose of inspiration, this is the book for you.
