“It’s hard to overestimate what Turia Pitt’s association with the Ironman eventdelivered. The Australian media and general public have been enthralled with herincredible story of triumph for years. For Ironman Asia Pacific, this phenomenal

interest translated into more than 5 times the media coverage we typicallygenerate from an event, and included international media attention from some

of the world’s biggest players. On top of that, her embodiment of Ironman's“anything is possible” ethos is inspiring even more people to get involved in

triathlon. On a personal level, she’s an incredible human being. From a businesspartnership point of view, she just delivers in spades.”
