Press husband into multi-event sporting contest? (7)

I believe the answer is:

ironman

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'multi-event sporting contest?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'press husband' is the wordplay.
'press' becomes 'iron' (ironing is a kind of pressing).
'husband' becomes 'man' (a married man).
'iron'+'man'='IRONMAN'

'into' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for ironman that I've seen is " Comic book character".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
