Sister Madonna Buder is known as the "Iron Nun". The 84-year-old holds the world record for the oldest woman ever to finish an Ironman Triathlon, considered to be one of the toughest races in the world. You have to swim for 2.4 miles, cycle 112 miles, and run 26 miles -- all within just 17 hours. Sister Madonna has been telling us about the faith that inspires her.
