'Mermaid' Mary Borman on Training to be 1st Woman with Down Syndrome to Finish Half Ironman, Future Goals & More
Mary Borman loves to swim, to challenge herself, to wear bright colors, share her story, and most importantly, have fun! The athlete, model, and Down Syndrome advocate has always challenged herself to accomplish what some may say she can't, and has no plans of stopping. Mary has earned several medals competing at the Special Olympics, traveled internationally to race for the Down Syndrome International Swimming Organization, and is now training to become the first woman with Down Syndrome to finish a half Ironman (race is in June 2025). Today we dive into why she fell in love with swimming, why she sets big goals (and crushes them!), her bucket list, memorable visit to Peloton with Ally Love, and morning non-negotiables!
