Another Woman Who Defies Age!
Can you imagine biking for 112 miles, swimming 2.4 miles, and running 26.2 miles, all in a single day? At first glance, many would view this challenge as physically impossible, regardless of their training and preparation.
Fortunately, one woman can change your mind. Her name is Sister Madonna Buder. She didn’t start exercising until she was 50 years old. She has now been setting Ironman records for the past 20 years. At age 77, she is still going strong!
Can you imagine approaching a 50 year old man or woman with no exercise experience, and explaining to them the possibility of competing in a triathlon? Most would consider us crazy for even suggesting the idea.
But who is crazy? Those who believe that the body is much more capable than others realize, or those who never try to find out for themselves?
If pushing past commonly perceived limits makes us crazy, I’ll live happily crazy for the rest of my life!
