Ed. The day after Minnesota Grand Master of the Year nominee Ben Ewers finished 2nd in the 65-69M category at the Hawaiian Ironman World Championships, he wrote this note to his son and daughter.

Only slept 4 hrs last night, mind and body still working. I survived this race better than any others, which I attribute to sound training (especially the heat training) and a good plan that recognized my shortcomings.

However, I decided that since I had raced this race every year since it's start I wanted to go and support the race and the charity. The race director does an amazing job with volunteers, organization, and post race.
I like racing in the heat and it seems like it takes me forever to warm up. I knew that it was going to be a cold morning and to bring my warm weather gear.
