In the triathlon world, Jana Richtrova exceeded aspirations at the IRONMAN North American Championship in Texas. She hoped for an age group win and ended up with the overall amateur women's title. She had a blistering 4:44:48 on the bike and followed that up with a sub 3:30 marathon. Big congrats to Jana for putting in the hard work and never giving up on her dreams.
