Can you imagine swimming 2.4 miles in the ocean, cycling 112 miles on roads through lava fields, and then running a 26.2-mile marathon?
Each of the following women did on Saturday, Oct. 10, 2015 in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. Many trained for years to reach the level of physical and mental ability needed to qualify for this championship. I bet they felt a whirlwind of emotions when they crossed the finish line ranging from disbelief to ecstasy.
Perseverance when the mind wanted to quit. Determination not to quit. Self-doubt overcome. Dreams achieved.
Congratulations to these women and the other triathletes who competed in this very tough race! Several women noted below also competed just weeks before at 2015 Ironman 70.3 World Championships! You inspire us to be the best we can be in health, fitness and sport.
