When it comes to the
Ironman World Championship, each and every athlete
in the field has an incredible story. Just making it to the Big Island of
Hawaii is a journey. But every year there are a few athletes who take that to a
new level, and with 5,000 athletes competing in Kona this week, this year’s
race features even more amazing stories. Here are a few of those to follow
(including the incredible Lauren Parker, pictured above) as reported by
Ironman:
- Dallas
Clark (Livermore, Iowa, USA) – Former tight end Dallas Clark
picked up triathlon as a hobby after playing 11 seasons in the NFL. Clark
played for the Indianapolis Colts where he was part of the Super Bowl XLI
winning team, before also playing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and
Baltimore Ravens. Now he’s taking on one of the biggest challenges of his
life racing the 2022 Ironman World Championship in Kona. Clark’s goal
includes racing as an Ironman Foundation athlete while also raising $2
Million for Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis and the
University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital.
