     Conroe's Susan Rouse, 52, was second in her age group in a time of 3:37:13 -- two weeks removed from completing the Prairieman half iron distance triathlon.
     It was Susan's fourth marathon finish of the year as she is preparing for Ironman Florida, to be held in Panama City Beach, Florida on Saturday, November 6.
     Fellow Conroe native Dan Jordan - who is also in preparation for Ironman Florida - did his neighbor one better.
     The 53-year-old's 4:04:13 came just one week after completing Ironman 70.3 Branson
     Spring's Jean Hofschulte, 43, finished in 4:16:10.
