He noted his evening run, which he set off on shortly after half past seven south of Ghent, with the comment "Sunday brick". Among triathletes, a brick is a session in which two or all three disciplines are trained in quick succession. Wurf has been a professional since 2007, but has never won a race. However, the respect of the peloton is likely to be immense after his programme on Easter Sunday. Before 2007, Wurf took part in the Olympic Games in Athens as a rower.
He has also been active as a triathlete since 2015, but took a break from cycling until 2020. In 2021, Wurf won the Ironman Copenhagen with a course record of 7:46:06 hours. With this time, Wurf is ranked 25th in the world for the Ironman distance.
