The Wrap

Susan Paisner never saw herself as an athlete until a friend gave her a racing bike when she turned 59. Now 76, the Maryland woman races four to five triathlons a season, and she recently finished 11th in her age group at the World Triathlon Age-Group Championships in Pontevedra, Spain. Quite a gift.
