Who is Melissa Hauschildt...

There seems nothing the Adelaide, Australia born athlete hasn't done. Her athletic career began already as young as 11 years of age, running on the grass tracks of her then hometown at the Gold Coast. She quickly turned heads and within a short time was running for Australia and competing around the world in Steeplechase and Cross Country. After setting multiple records and winning numerous medals, an injury encouraged Mel to start cycling. Within one year, she had made a full transformation to triathlon. Within 8 years she has achieved almost the impossible across middle and full distance triathlon.

Finishing top 10 on 3 occasions in the famous Western States 100 mile race and being selected on two occasions to start the almost impossible Barkley Marathons. There is never a dull moment for our smiling Scotsman, who when not training or racing is coaching and inspiring others to achieve their running goals.
