Ironwomen Never Rust: Making Memories While Managing Menopause

Ms. Bruno was a team player in high school, enjoying field hockey, soccer, and basketball. After a distinctly non-athletic college career and early adult life, she became interested in running and later in multisport events as a way of controlling weight and sharing time with her husband, a former college football player and sportsmedicine orthopaedic surgeon. After almost twenty years in the sport, she has completed eleven marathons, two ultra-marathons, numerous road races, duathlons, and triathlons. She has been selected All American several years, earned the silver and bronze medals in the World Championship short- and long-course duathlon and been on the American team in the short-course triathlon in Australia and Cancun, and was ranked first American grand master (over 55) duathlete in 2002. She finished fifth in her age group in the 1987 World Championship Hawaiian Ironman Triathlon and sixth in 2002 and will compete on the American team in the World Championship short-course triathlon in Madiera, Portugal, in 2004.
