The countdown to 50 and Patagonia continues. Ben Neiburger is getting closer to his 50 th birthday with each stride, pedal and stroke. Last month, he was in beautiful Old Orchard Beach, Maine for the scenic Ironman 70.3 Maine race. This was Ben’s fastest half-Ironman race to date, although despite his turn on the podium, the only thing he won was two post-race Maine lobsters. The race capped off a busy summer of traveling to run, bike and swim in preparation for the Patagonman XTRI extreme triathlon in Southern Chile this December.
