The remarkable recovery of Australian Ironwoman and bushfire survivor Turia Pitt continued overnight as she finished the Hawaiian Ironman World Championship race on the island of Kona.The 29 year old Australian suffered burns to 65% of her body after she was caught in a fast moving bushfire while competing in an ultra-marathon in the remote Kimberley region of North West Australia. Pitt was lucky to survive and doctors said she would never run again.Five years and 200 operations later, Pitt took to the infamous Hawaiian Ironman World Championship on a bike specially made to cater to her severe hand injuries, with a body now unable to regulate its temperature.She completed the torturous 226 km journey, which includes a 3.8 km swim, 180 km bike ride, and 42 km run, in 14 hours 37 minutes and 30 seconds. Prior to the race she revealed to the Herald Sun what her injuries had put her up against."Because of my burns, I can't regulate my own body temperature. I have to make adjustments or use standard tri gear in different ways … I will need things such as cooling sleeves and white suits to deal with the heat in Kona,'' she said, adding: "I'd rather take a crack at it and fail than not even try at all."
