It took Ball State's Runners' Association president just under five and a half hours to traverse 70.3 miles in the Muncie Ironman 70.3 this past weekend.
Davon Geiger, 22, finished 14th in the men's 18-24 age group (402nd overall).
The triathlon drew competitors from across the country. Jo Ann Sheppard, for example, made the trip from her hometown of Alpharetta, Georgia, to celebrate her 50th birthday.
"I decided this is a momentous day and I was going to do momentous things," she said.
Sheppard finished 38th on her first day of eligibility in the women's 50-54 age group with a time of 7:30:22.
