Last week we had Australia’s number 1 ranked male athlete on the show, this week we have the number 1 female ranked triathlete, Ellie Salthouse!

With 17 x half ironman wins to her name since turning her focus to 70.3, and a further 10 podiums, she is one of our most dominating athletes.

She’s achieved a best place of 5th at the world champs, but as you’ll find out in the episode, that is not good for her. She has her sights set on a higher target.
