Samantha McGlone is a Canadian triathlete, born on 19 July 1979 in St. Catharines, Ontario. She competed in the second Olympic triathlon, at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, where she took twenty-seventh place in 2:10:14. She won the Canadian national triathlon championship in both 2004 and 2005, and the Wildflower Triathlon in 2005. On 11 November 2006 she won the Ironman 70.3 World Championship in 4:12:58, which qualified her for the full Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, in 2007. There, on 13 October 2007, she came second with a time of 9:14:04. Her record is therefore built on a combination of Olympic-distance racing early in her career and half and full Ironman results in the years that followed.
