After a priest encouraged her to start running at age 48 to harmonize her body, mind, and soul, Sister Madonna Buder began running in races. With her first marathon in her 50's, she became the oldest woman to compete in the Hawaii Ironman Triathlon at age 75. All told, she has competed in over 340 triathlons and more than 40 Ironmans.
In her own words, "If we want to do it, we can. The only failure is not to try, because putting forth the effort is success in itself."
