About the Author
Ms. Bruno was a team player in high school, enjoying field hockey, soccer, and basketball. After a distinctly non-athletic college career and early adult life, she became interested in running and later in multisport events as a way of controlling weight and sharing time with her husband, a former college football player and sportsmedicine orthopaedic surgeon. After almost twenty years in the sport, she has completed eleven marathons, two ultra-marathons, numerous road races, duathlons, and triathlons. She has been selected All American several years, earned the silver and bronze medals in the World Championship short- and long-course duathlon and been on the American team in the short-course triathlon in Australia and Cancun, and was ranked first American grand master (over 55) duathlete in 2002. She finished fifth in her age group in the 1987 World Championship Hawaiian Ironman Triathlon and sixth in 2002 and will compete on the American team in the World Championship short-course triathlon in Madiera, Portugal, in 2004.
When her children were teenagers, the author went back to earn a masters degree in nursing because of her interest in women's health and nutrition and worked as a nurse practitioner. She has written articles and spoken on panels about osteoporosis, nutrition, and exercise and enjoys sharing her interests with other women.
The Brunos spend their time in Nashville, Tennessee, and Crested Butte, Colorado.

2.0 out of 5 stars
No rust, but some tarnish.,
This review is from: Ironwomen Never Rust: Making Memories While Managing Menopause (Paperback)
Although mostly a vanity piece, this book had some moments of redemption threaded through. I would have liked more depth regarding her September 11th experiences abroad and her road to Ironman Kona after her husband was diagnosed with cancer and less of her reciting her race times. The subtitle was a distractor - the book had very little to do with menopause. It's not for the average age-grouper - this is a privileged woman married to a doctor who is able to jet to Fiji, Rimini, Hawaii, etc. simply to race.
