Clark admits when he was first asked if he would ever do an ironman triathlon he laughed. Six beers later he was thinking about it, and next Sunday he and five Bondi Rescue mates will line up for one of the toughest and least glamorous roles of their lives, in the Ironman Asia Pacific in Melbourne. "I am expecting pain, lots of it," Clark said ahead of the 3.8km swim, 180km bike ride and 41.9km marathon run torture test he will contest along with fellow lifesavers Quinn Darragh, Andrew "Reidy" Reid, Adriel "Bacon" Young, Gavin Stevenson and Greg Bishop. But I am just so excited. I did one leg last year and watched the rest of it. It was just so inspiring. There was this 72-year-old woman out there on the course 16 hours and 50 minutes after the start. It was incredible. Clark hopes to raise money for former dual rugby international Mat Rogers' 4ASD Kids charity. He said the goal of the Bondi Rescue team was just to finish the race - no matter how long it took. Clark said he was going into the event fitter than he had ever been, if a little underprepared, "I've never actually ridden 180km and I've never run more than 21km at one time," he said.
