WOMEN YOU SHOULD KNOW IN WYOMING: Cheyenne Realtor Earns Elite Seller Certification

Mariah Jeffery has escaped from Alcatraz two times, so it is clear she is no stranger to challenges.

Her “escapes" were part of an annual triathlon held in San Francisco that requires athletes to swim a mile and a half from Alcatraz Island through freezing, shark-infested waters, bike 18 miles up and down San Francisco’s famously hilly terrain and finish with an eight-mile run. Jeffery has participated in four of the six World Marathon Majors and is training for her fifth and sixth to take place in London and Chicago later this year.
