Edie broke the course record in her age category that previously stood at 11:31:37, but she placed 2nd in her age category because of an amazing strong field in the W45-49 category.

2001 ITU Triathlon Long Distance World Championship in Fredericia Denmark (posted on August 5, 2001)

Lyle Redman was the only Manitoban at the 2001 ITU Triathlon Long Distance World Championship in Fredericia Denmark yesterday.  This event is a 3.8K swim, 180K bike and 42.2K run.  Kinda sounds like an Ironman!  It is, but the International Triathlon Union does not hold the copyright to the word Ironman, so they call it the ITU Triathlon Long Distance World Championship.

There were 1647 starters and 1515 finishers.

• 1793 athletes started the race.
• Dan Morwood's time is a new Triathlon Manitoba men's record at Ironman Canada.  Edie Fisher already held the Triathlon Manitoba women's record.
  Gary Pallett has offered the following additional info:
  - Edie went 10:46 in 1997, so she slightly missed her record.
  - Buzz Pedersen went 10:00:20 in 1994, and Ben VanDenBosch went 10:00:50 in 1990.  Kevin Campbell, who used to reside in Manitoba, went 9:51 last year.  But if you want to talk former Manitobans, no one can still touch Dave Kirk's course victory of 9:27 in 1986 --- this is particularly impressive considering aerobars didn't show up at Ironman till the following year.
  - Danny's race was amazing, and he should be very proud of  being the first Triathlon Manitoba member to break 10 hours.

Edie Fisher sets a new  female Half Ironman course record at Morden (posted on July 16, 2000)

The female Half Ironman course record at Morden that Edie Fisher set in 1999 (4:58:43) was surpassed yesterday --- by Edie (4:57:03). 

At 43 years old, and in her 7th year of triathlon, Edie's high performance level still speaks for itself.   Her Olympic Distance time of 2:13:53 at the Raivo Tamm Triathlon last weekend was over 21 minutes below the "A" time for a 40 to 44 year old woman.
