The Deca exists within an extreme niche of the triathlon world, where participants go through a 38-kilometre swim, 1,800-kilometre bike ride, and a 422-kilometre run. A double-Deca, as the name suggests, is twice that distance.

And she has done three of those? What a beast! Amazing accomplishment! Her name is Shanda Hill.
