Wade’s journey reminds us: it’s never too late to chase your dreams. He started triathlons at 39 and raced Kona at 46. Age is no limit when determination leads the way. ✨

What does it take to go from an “unlikely athlete” to finishing the IRONMAN® World Championship in Kona? For Wade Wilson, it was perseverance, family support, and a relentless will to succeed. 💪
