Dede Griesbauer is an American Triathlete who currently lives and trains in Boulder, CO. In 2011, Dede had a near career-ending crash during IRONMAN Germany. She broke six bones; an elbow, two ribs, her pelvis in two places, and her hip. She was told she'd never run again. 

However, Dede had other plans and was back on the race course, competing in 2012. Dede is a three-time top ten finisher at the IRONMAN World Championships in KONA. In 2020, she won Ultraman Florida, setting a world record for the Ultraman distance of 22 hours, 48 minutes, and 31 seconds. 

Even today, at 52 years young, Dede's passion for what she does, perseverance, and laser focus help her compete against (and beat!) people 10 - 20+ years younger than her. Listen to Dede's story to learn more about the motivations, learnings, and routines that make her one of the most consistent performers triathlon has ever seen.
