Duxbury resident Colleen Shores is an avid triathlete, having competed in 20+ triathlons and more than 50 running races. An official Ironman finisher, Shores was raised in Duxbury and enjoys training, often with her triathlete mother Carol, around town. You’ve probably seen her on the road at some point.

For years, Wendy Ziemba of Weymouth enjoyed fishing off Powder Point Bridge with her brother Wayne.
