Arizona Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema has proved her mettle by completing the 'Ironman' race with aplomb.

The 37-year-old U.S. Democrat has proved that nothing is unachievable and hard work and determination can get you pretty much anywhere in life by finishing Sunday's grueling endurance race, held in Tempe. Sinema completed  the 16 hour long triathlon in 15 hours, 12 minutes and 34 seconds flat.

The 'Ironman' triathlon comprised of a 2.4-mile (3.8-km) swim, a 112-mile cycling ride and a marathon run.

Sinema confessed that when she started her training, she did not know how to swim. So the first-term lawmaker  roped in Olympic butterfly gold medallist Misty Hyman  to coach her.
