Spring's Gause aims to add name to illustrious Ironman list

In just 90 days, Spring's Chris Gause will attempt to do what only seven other women have ever done -- finish the Ford Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii at the age of 70 or older.

After becoming the only woman ever in the 70 and older division to finish a domestic Ironman (other than Kona) at Ford Ironman Florida in Panama City Beach last November, Gause, 70, hopes to add her name to an illustrious group of triathletes, which includes Ethel Autorino, Harriet Anderson and, of course, Sister Madonna Buder.

The complete list of women ever to finish the Ford Ironman World Championship at the age of 70 and over is here:

15:19:19 - Ethel Autorino, 70, Edison, NJ, W70-74, 1, 2000
15:53:35 - Lynn Edwards, 70, North Carolina, W70-74, 1993

16:17:51 - Harriet Anderson, 72, San Carlos, CA, W70-74, 1, 2008

16:20:30 - Harriet Anderson, 75, San Carlos, CA, W75-79, 1, 2010
16:28:43 - Harriet Anderson, 71, San Carlos, CA, W70-74, 1, 2007
16:44:01 - Mickie Shapiro, 70, Costa Mesa, CA, W70-74, 2, 2006
16:48:04 - Madonna Buder, 72, Spokane, WA, W70-74, 1, 2002
16:49:09 - Madonna Buder, 71, USA, W70-74, 1, 2001

16:53:11 - Harriet Anderson, 74, San Carlos, CA, W70-74, 1, 2009
16:56:01 - Harriet Anderson, 76, San Carlos, CA, W75-79, 1, 2011
16:57:29 - Susan Norman, 71, San Diego, CA, W70-74, 1, 2011
16:58:39 - Gayla Chambers, 71, Georgetown, TX, W70-74, 2, 2011
16:59:03 - Madonna Buder, 76, Spokane, WA, W75-79, 1, 2006

Autorino was inducted into the USA Triathlon Hall of Fame this February after being one of the most decorated age-groupers in U.S. multisport history. She is a 10-time age-group winner at the USA Triathlon Age Group National Championship and went on to capture six gold medals and one silver as a member of Team USA at the ITU World Championships.
