Summary: Multiple Ironman winner and all-around good chap, triathlete Ben Hoffman, sits down to chat. This was recorded in January of 2013 and it's fun to listen to again, knowing what Ben was set to accomplish in the next two years -- more Ironman wins and second at the World Championships in 2014. We talk about where he started with triathlon, including an amazing first outing as a pro. Ben excels at tough courses and we talk about their increasing scarcity. Other topics include the Kona Points Series, how he prepares mentally for big races, and of course we go through all the great things he's doing with his sponsors: Specialized Bikes (Ben even talks about his 29er, along with his "work" bikes) Volkswagen Zoot Tri-Bike Transport Fuel Belt I missed The Infinite Monkey Theorem during the chat, and was kicking myself afterward....awesome wines, even if you don't know a thing about grapes you'll still enjoy their offerings. Enjoy; I know I had a good time chatting with Ben. Up next on the podcast, an ultra running legend (which should really apply to anyone who's completed 44 [yes forty four!] 100 mile foot races, even without the big results this athlete and seeker has had. More later.....
