I always thought triathlon was a sport dominated by The Olds (32, not 23).

Was she in an age category?

And no, I didn't read the article, and yes, if it's mentioned there then I suck.

No worries.  Yes, she won U23.

And I'll take some of the blame...I think I had that in an earlier version, but made an edit and...POOF!  Sorry.
