“A feeling of superiority would be my own undoing,” Wellington told Inside Triathlon writer Holly Bennett. “I’m continuously surprised by what I achieve. I think that in itself is indicative of the fact that I’m not overly confident. I’m fully aware—almost too aware—of my own weaknesses.” Photo: Nils Nilsen
