Ironman | Ed Rusk

Ed Rusk is the CFO of Chattem Chemicals in Chattanooga, Tennessee and has been married to his wife, Britta, for 20 years. While he and his brother were fairly active during their childhood, their health began to decline as they got older due to a sedentary lifestyle. When his brother died in 2005, Ed realized he was headed in the same direction. The suddenness of his brother’s death led Ed to start training for triathlons as a way to improve his health and prolong his life. Over the following years, he trained and competed in over 50 events ranging from smaller triathlons to Ironman events. He is now in great health and continues to participate marathons and triathlons of all sizes.
