The event includes a 1.5-mile swim in chilly waters with swift currents, a technical 18-mile bike ride with sharp turns and descents, and an eight-mile run that includes a 400-step "sand ladder" so tough on competitors' legs the race organizers advise walking up it. Anthony, 44, visited the island on a tour during a yoga/backpacking retreat in 2010 and thought it would be a fun twist to be a cop "escaping" the famous prison. Let's take a good boat, and let's jump off of it into these cold waters!' We're a special breed. Anthony, who works in HPD's Special Operations Division based in the George R. Brown Convention Center, started doing triathlons in 2000 after a co-worker suggested they train for the Danskin Women's Triathlon in Austin together. When Anthony decided to attempt a full Ironman, she teamed with The Woodlands' OutRival Racing, often driving from her Clear Lake-area home to cycle with the group on weekends.
