Is Troy Balderson an Ironman?
Quote | Reply
He is running for congress in Ohio and has an ad claiming to be an Ironman, but my feeble Google skills can only find an unbranded half 19 years ago.

If his political affiliation is similar to mine then this is just a common adaptation of the term. If he is on the other side, I’ll gather the pitchforks, you get the fire started.

Or he is an Ironman in the same way that Paul Ryan is a sub-3 marathoner?

Honest question, what does it actually mean to be an Ironman?

Possible - it looks like he did Gulf Coast in '98. Assuming he is now 56 years old and lived in Wheeling, PA at the time.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

Athlinks doesn't know about it - but does agree he did Gulf Coast 70.3 before IM bought them.

I live in the district and read the Dispatch article this morning. Did you find results re: any of the adventure races he cites in the article? I'll do some searching myself.

In his younger days, Balderson, 57, made himself plenty uncomfortable. He has competed in Ironman races — grueling three-stage events consisting of swimming, running and biking.

Mark, John and I all live in the area. I cannot get past his hair piece to see anything else. The toupee is just too much!
