Great job on your race!! I enjoyed watching the race on IronmanLive and see you took some time off from last year – well done! Thank you for sharing your pre-race thoughts. Racing is very intense and very emotional and while I am just a newbie at fitness and racing, I share your drive and feelings! Rock on!
Man, Ben. This video moments before the race began is very moving. Not sure many top athletes would share such emotions yet it's certain they experience them. Made me cry. For all the right reasons. Proud of you, son.
Congrats Ben! Thank you so much for sharing with us everything you go through leading up to race.
