Astronaut Sunita Williams completes triathlon in space for kicks

9/19/2012

Way to make us feel like lazy wastes of boring old Earth space, Sunita Williams. The U.S. astronaut and commander of the International Space Station just finished a triathlon in space. The overachieving space dweller completed it as people took part in the Nautica Malibu Triathlon in Southern California down below. Williams used a stationary bike, a treadmill and a strength-training machine as a stand-in for the swimming leg of the triathlon and finished the race with a time of 1:48:33. Last time Williams was on the space station she ran the Boston Marathon, so it was just business as usual for this impressive and very fit lady. [Source]
