Mara Flavia Souza Araujo, a 38-year-old Brazilian fitness influencer and experienced triathlete, drowned on Saturday during the swimming portion of Ironman Texas, held at Lake Woodlands near Houston. Safety crews initially could not locate her after she was reported missing in the water around 7:30am; divers found her body roughly 90 minutes later at a depth of around 10 feet. Araujo, who had completed at least nine Ironman events since 2018 and had over 60,000 Instagram followers, had posted a reflection on cherishing life just days before the competition.
