WellFit Elite Team in 2009

My long stance against taking sponsors or participating on a team has officially come to an end. In 2009 I will be racing for the WellFit Elite Team sponsored by Degree. In the past I have objected to organized teams and sponsors for a couple of reasons. Being sponsored and being on a team requires that I have commitments. 2008 prooved that I could deal with commitment (Tanya says yea!) The other reason I typically object is guys on organized teams can be dicks and difficult to break into their group. Well the people that race for WellFit are some of the nicest athletes I've ever met. They are very competitive, but respectful and a lot of fun. So there you have it, Benny's a sell out. I'm excited to train in a highly competitive environment with state of the art equipment, testing and talented coaching. This also means I have a busy 2009 race schedule. I've committed to do Ironman Wisconsin again, but I will be primarily focusing on the 70.3 distance and WellFit team races. Our big team races are DU nationals, Hy-Vee, Club National, and Chicago. I will be doing a couple of new races for me, Kansas 70.3 and Steelhead 70.3. I promise to update my blog better than last year...
