    “It was her 11th Ironman race despite not learning to swim until she was 59 and not starting triathlons until she was 60.”

      My uncle did the Ironman when we has in his 40s. He’s been doing triathlon for 20 years at elite level. It took him 11 hours to finish.

      At 80, this is beyond incredible.
