Sister Madonna Buder is "The Iron Nun", an athlete who has completed almost 380 triathlons and who discovered her Young Talent at 52.
"Am I a typical sister? Well, it depends what you call typical; we are all individuals with different talents – mine might be very different from those living in a Convent. I’ve done almost 380 triathlons, 45 of which have been Ironman distances: that’s a 2.4 mile swim, followed by 112 miles of biking, followed by a marathon. I’ve done 22 Ironmans just in Hawaii! I’m 87 presently, and I discovered triathlon when I was 52 – although really, it discovered me."
