Mary Knott, 44, was also a veterinarian and “incredible human,” according to her friend and triathlon coach, Hillary Biscay, who said Knott had also competed in two grueling Ultraman races and was training for three marathon swims she had planned for this year.
“She was a daughter, sister, aunt, devoted animal mom, and a veterinarian,” Biscay wrote in an email Friday night. “She had many gifts and she shared them generously.”

SAN DIEGO A judge ruled Tuesday there is enough evidence for the case against the teenage defendant accused of killing a woman on a popular hiking trail in Carlsbad to move forward.
According to his defense attorney, Debby Kirkwood, he moved to Carlsbad to stay with his grandparents just a couple of months before he was arrested.
Tuesday, he appeared during a virtual hearing dressed in an orange jumpsuit and a mask. The judge ordered reporters not to show the teen s face because he is a juvenile. News 8 has chosen not to reveal his name, unless his case is transferred to adult court.
CARLSBAD (KUSI) – The DNA of a 17-year-old boy accused of fatally stabbing a 68-year-old woman last month on a Carlsbad hiking trail was found on the victim’s shorts, according to testimony heard Tuesday in San Diego juvenile court.
The teen, whose name was withheld because he is a minor, is charged with murder in the death of Lisa Thorborg, whose body was found on Hosp Grove trail on the morning of Nov. 23.
Tuesday’s hearing revealed some of the preliminary facts that led Carlsbad police to arrest the boy, who still faces the possibility of being charged as an adult.
