A 160 pound Hines Ward just Crossed the Finish line of a Triathlon that Included a 56 mile bicycle ride

Hines Ward competed in The Oread IRONMAN 70.3 Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas today, finishing a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bicycle ride, and a 13.1 mile run in 5:53:18.


Ward is training in partnership with REFUEL | ‘got chocolate milk?’ to compete at the IRONMAN World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii this October, the most ridiculous race in the world. (Ward’s race experience and transformation from a gridiron athlete to IRONMAN triathlete is captured in the online documentary series, BECOME ONE, at Got Chocolate Milk? and IRONMAN.com.)
