And in case you missed it:  An 80-year-old grandma from New Jersey became the oldest person to finish the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii the other day.  It’s a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride, and then a full marathon.

80-year-old Natalie Grabow finished in 16 hours and 45 minutes.  The cutoff is 17 hours.  Craziest detail:  She didn’t learn how to swim until she was 59.

As she approached the finish line, she tripped on her way up the ramp, but got back up and laughed it off.  The winner of the whole thing was a 26-year-old, who finished in 8 hours and 28 minutes.
