Lori Bowden of Victoria is one of the 22 women profiled Timothy Moore's Sub Nine: History's Fastest Ironwomen (independent/CreateSpace) about women who have finished an Ironman race in less than nine hours.

An Ironman race consists of a 3.8km swim, a 180km bike ride and then a 42km run. An excerpt appeared in Triathlon Magazine Canada and the book was reviewed in Triathlete magazine.
