When it comes to greatness over time and over different distances, runner Rod Dixon is at the very top of our all-time list. Not too far behind, though, is triathlete Michellie Jones who dominated the legendary non-drafting triathlons like Chicago, St. Anthony’s and Escape from Alcatraz ,won the first ever XTERRA Off -Road World Championship, won 12 times on the ITU circuit and was on the podium another 10 times. During her career she won two ITU World Championship titles plus, in ten tries, took home two silver medals and four bronze medals. Add in her silver medal at the first ever Olympic Triathlon in her hometown of Sydney, Australia in 2000 -she lost by two seconds to a woman who would test positive a few years later- and her 2006 Ironman World Championship title and you have a true legend.
