Quote:All that work helped Grabow endure the world’s most prestigious triathlon competition on Oct. 11 in Kona, Hawaii, where over the course of 16 hours, 45 minutes and 26 seconds, Grabow finished the 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride and 26.2-mile run at the Ironman World Championship.
She didn’t win, yet she set a record.
At 80, she is the oldest woman ever to finish the grueling, 140.6-mile competition, often held in windy, humid conditions.

She is so amazing - I'm going to do everything I can to be as strong as she is if I live to 80.
