Zdeno Chara is as legendary as they come, having played his in the NHL until he was 44 years old, now in retirement, he's pulled off yet another amazing feat.
When you think of the Boston Bruins, it's hard to think of anyone other than the Zdeno Chara. The things he was able to do on the ice and the toughness he showed during his playing career. We unlike anything most people has seen.
Chara now 47, has proven that even though he's retired from the National Hockey League, he hasn't slowed down one bit. In fact, Chara just completed his first ever Iron Man competition according to Gino Hard on X
Chara affectionately known as big Z has continued to prove that age is just a number and that you can do anything you want to long as you put your mind to it. It appears that is not the end for Chara and feats of mental and physical fitness and strength though as he already gearing up for the Iron Man World Championships this October.
It's amazing to see Chara still living life to the fullest in his retirement and still doing remarkable things at his size. Slowing down was never in his mindset when he played in the NHL for 24 seasons and it isn't there now. It may be a different kind of fitness, but it's a test of willpower and his never seems to die.
