Nautica New York City Triathlon

This is going to sound cliché, but I love New York City. I decided a few weeks ago that I wanted to go to New York to see the new Broadway musical, Book of Mormon, which won nine Tony Awards. It just so happened that one of the biggest races…

Monroe Pan America Cup and my Seattle Homecoming

July 9, 2011July 10, 2011 by Ben

Ben

After Guatape I flew straight to Seattle. It’s always hard going home during the season, or anytime really. Whenever I travel someplace for an extended period of time I try to get into a training routine as quickly as possible. (The routine makes training take less time, you have a…

5150 New Orleans

Ben

Today I raced the 5150 New Orleans... duathlon. The swim was cancelled due to high winds. Apparently they couldn't even get the buoys to stay anchored. I was bummed, but what can you do? I flew all the way here, I'm fit, so I just warmed up like I had…

Ben

Saturday I started off my season with a draft-legal sprint race in Clermont Florida. It's a race that Jarrod Shoemaker helped to organize, and it was a fairly well run event. This is my first time to Clermont, and I'm surprised that it is not the pancake flat expanse of…

Slowtwitch says I'm a "Man with style"! Check out the interview I did this week by clicking here. And yes, the last picture shown in the interview (and the one above) was definitely taken specifically for the interview, including the afro picking I did beforehand. ...

Halloween’s Super Sprint Triathlon Grand Prix

November 2, 2010 by Ben

Ben

Let me set the stage: Oceanside California. Just a few miles up the coast from San Diego, Oceanside is a small town that has managed to preserve the old-California feel that many believe to exist only in the writings of the beat generation. The town is lifted up from the…

Mexico Part Tres – Pan-Am Race Report

October 27, 2010 by Ben

Ben

Puerto Vallarta is really hot in October. It’s strange that I was able to go the entire summer without suffering through any hot races, and as soon as Labor Day rolled around every race required a buzz cut and an ice pack in my helmet. I came prepared with my…

ITU World Championships Budapest Race Recap

September 12, 2010 by Ben

Ben

My first pro world champs was another big learning experience. For the first time this year I arrived at a race prepared both mentally and physically, and yet I still made a few minor mistakes that likely had very little effect on the final score.The weather was delightfully crummy. It…
