Bundy completes Ironman Triathlon

Former Lake Stevens High School football and baseball standout Ryan Bundy completed his first Ironman Triathlon on June 28 in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

Bundy, 37, finished the race despite competing in temperatures that topped 100 degrees. Of the 1,710 athletes who started the race in the early morning hours, more than 300 dropped out during the competition. Another 300 who registered didn’t show up at the starting line.

Bundy graduated from Lake Stevens in 1995. He went on to play baseball at the University of Washington and had a three-year professional career in the Toronto Blue Jays’ minor-league system.

After competing in the Lake Stevens Half Ironman in 2013, Bundy set his sights on conquering a full Ironman.

In Coeur d’Alene, he finished the 2.4-mile swim in 1 hour, 24 minutes, 29 seconds. He completed the 112-mile bike ride in 8:02:28, then ran a 26.2-mile marathon in 6:59:38.

His overall time of 16:49:39 ranked 1,294th among the 1,335 finishers.

Professional racer Andy Potts won the event in a time of 8:20:35.
