Ben had his first half-ironman on Saturday in Wilmington, NC. It is called the beach to battleship. (The race starts at Wrightsville beach and ends at the battleship North Carolina.)
For those of you not familiar with these races, a half-ironman entails a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, & a 13.1 mile run.
Ben completed his in 5 hours and 10 minutes.
He was 42/661 overall; 40/441 men; and 5th in his age group. What an achievement!
He trained very hard and had great partners who also did awesome in the race!
