Each year on the big island of Hawaii, tri-athletes descend on the paradise to compete in a grueling challenge where they run, swim and bike to the finish line. Today, 76-year-old Sister Madonna Buder from Spokane, Wash., is competing in her twentieth Iron Man challenge in Kona. Last year she set the record for being the oldest person to complete the event. Sister Madonna Buder and Bob Babbitt, the publisher of Competitor Magazine, share their thoughts on the competition and Sister Buder's accomplishment as a tri-athlete.
