Name: Iona MacKenzie

Age on Race Day: 35 F

From: Golden, Colorado, USA

Occupation: Engineer

Recent Races: First time Ultraman.  2006 24 Hours of Triathlon—First place solo winner.

Entering UM because: My mind and body seem to be wired for it.  I can suffer a very long time and enjoy it.  I don’t seem to get fatigued or bored.  My body seems to absorb high training volumes ver easily and I rarely get injured.  I want to do this even because I think it is the type of race that suits me best—when I tell people I want to do Ultraman, they say, “That makes sense!  That would be a good race for you!”
