Iron-Mum with Meredith Kessler

After graduating in 2000, Meredith Kessler used her graduation money to purchase her first triathlon bike and entered in a full Ironman two weeks later. From that moment on, she caught the spirit of Ironman competition and has not looked back. 

 Since that first Ironman in 2000, Meredith has completed 70 full Ironman races all over the United States and the rest of the world and she is an 11-time full distance Ironman and 23-time half-distance Ironman champion. 

I wanted to get to know how Meredith raced on average 7 Ironmans a year, was back racing the full distance just 5 months after giving birth to son, Mak, how she uses Chi swims to meditate and how getting Corona Virus and the vaccine has impacted her performance.
