Canadian triathlete and Argonaut Jeff Symonds was the first to cross the finish line at the Ironman Asia-Pacific triathlon this weekend, while proudly carrying the maple leaf flag. A proven runner, Symonds has earned one of the most important titles in his career with a blistering marathon.
Held in Melbourne, Australia, the Asia-Pacific triathlon greeted more than 2,500 competitors. In a new twist, this year’s winner earns an automatic entry into Kona’s IRONMAN World Championship, to be held in October 2015.
