If you did your first Ironman Canada this year, you would have to be doing one every year until 2053, if you wanted to match the current record of Seattle’s Ed Wong.
As one of the pioneers in long-distance triathlon, Wong used his background as a hospital pharmacist to devise a sound nutritional strategy that served him well in his 31 consecutive iron-distance events that included both Penticton and Whistler.
Wong, along with Ed Russell from Kamloops and Dick Ensslen from Edmonton, collectively known as the “Dick Eds” have done almost 100 Ironman Canada races between the three of them, becoming an inspiration for athletes of all ages. You can find out why the DickEds got their name, and how this episode got its name by pressing play below.
