Running Story 003: Former Professional Triathlete Lee DiPietro

Once an elite runner and pro triathlete who rose to the top of the ranks at the IronMan distance, Lee DiPietro faced her greatest life challenges outside the race course. In 2010, Lee’s world fell apart when she lost her sister, her husband was diagnosed with cancer, and her eldest son was in a tragic accident. Lee documents this harrowing time in her upcoming book, Against the Wind, and we talk with her about how her endurance background gave her the tools she needed to support her family in these dark hours.
