Kyrsten Sinema demonstrated she sure has endurance: The freshman congresswoman finished an Ironman on Sunday, completing the 140.6 mile triathlon in her home state of Arizona. 
 
 The Arizona Democrat finished the 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride and 26.2-mile run endurance event in just over 15 hours. She tweeted a celebratory picture of her crossing the finish line.

 Multiple sources including Triathlete Magazine reported Sinema was the first active member of Congress to compete in an Ironman race. However, Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) has also completed an iron-length triathlon, though the 140.6 mile race he finished in 2012 was not an Ironman-brand event. 
 
 She has been training for nearly a year, writing on Facebook that she completed her first Ironman training workout in February. An avid athlete, she told POLITICO last winter that she was doing the race with friends with whom she has competed in marathons, as well. 
 
 Sinema did the race in support of the Desert States Charitable Foundation, a charity that provides scholarships and support to area children, and also the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. 
 
 After the event, Sinema seemed in good spirits, thanking well-wishers for their support on Twitter. She told fellow Rep. Steven Horsford (D-Nev.) she looked forward to running with him — though not immediately. 
 
 @RepHorsford it went really well! Lets run together soon, tho I think I’ll rest a few days this week ;-) — Kyrsten Sinema (@kyrstensinema) November 18, 2013 
 
 Sinema told Phoenix, Ariz., station KPNX nearly two weeks before the race that she sometimes woke up at 3 a.m. to complete her workouts for training. ||||| Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema To Compete At Ironman Arizona By Triathlete.com

 Kyrsten Sinema, representing Arizona’s 9th district in the United States Congress since 2012, will be competing in Ironman Arizona, set for Sunday, Nov. 17. Rep. Sinema will become the first active member of Congress to compete in the 140.6-mile endurance event race. 
 
 “Competing in Ironman Arizona, in the heart of Congressional District 9, is one of the most exciting challenges I’ve ever faced,” Sinema said in a press release. “The Ironman competition represents what I admire most about the American spirit—hard work, determination, and a commitment to overcoming challenges.”

 Sinema will be running on behalf of the Desert States Charitable Foundation, an organization that provides scholarships for higher learning and assists underprivileged children in the community. The Foundation also raises money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, which funds medical research to find cures for blood cancers and provides assistance to families affected by leukemia, lymphoma, non-Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma. 
 
 “Raising funds for the Desert States Charitable Foundation has made this year’s race even more meaningful,” she continued. “I’m proud to race for a local charity that helps so many kids and families in the metro Phoenix community. ”

– Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, the first openly bisexual member of Congress, has another first to her name: first sitting member of Congress to complete an Ironman triathlon, according to Triathlete magazine. The Arizona Democrat completed the grueling race (a 26.2-mile run, 112-mile bike ride, and 2.4-mile swim) in just over 15 hours yesterday, Politico reports. "Kyrsten Sinema. You. Are. An. Ironman," she tweeted, along with a picture of herself crossing the finish line. She'd been training for almost a year, and told 12 News Phoenix she sometimes awoke at 3am to do so. Making her feat even more impressive: Before she started training, Sinema did not know how to swim. She's been busy: Last week she was one of 39 House Democrats who crossed the aisle to vote with the GOP on an ObamaCare fix.
