David Lee became the first paraplegic wheelchair athlete to complete the Subaru Ironman Canada race. Lee crossed the finish line Sunday in 12:48:43. North American Sports reported that the 42-year-old American had competed in the Ironman Canada event in the past but was unsuccessful in reaching his goal. Lee was paralyzed in a 1990 motorcycle accident and completing Ironman Canada was a life goal, along with competing in a World cycling Championships (2007 in Bordeaux, France) and Paralympic Games (2008 in Beijing China).
