Brazil's 38-year-old triathlete Mara Flávia Souza Araújo drowned during the 3.8-km open-water swim leg of Ironman Texas at Lake Woodlands in USA. Her body was found in around 10 feet of water roughly three hours after she was reported missing. Days before the race, she had posted a quote about life "dropping you off at the eternal station".
