WTWB1: Summers in Manhattan
Here’s something loooong overdue. A breakdown of the rest of Ben Bright's 1992 season. I promised this episode when Luke and I did TSP14. About the 1992 Nice Triathlon.
Ben was a role model for me. As I was also planning to have a triathlon adventure in France. Then I'd come back to the UK and regale my BTS team-mates with how epic it was. And how epic I was.
I think Ben raced 13 times in Europe in 1992. Not a huge schedule. Most triathletes based in France do more. Maybe up to 20 races. But I might have missed one or two that the mags don’t show.
And this was also a time when we raced often and all distances. Peaking and tapering wasn’t so much of a thing. We raced near-weekly and built fitness from race to race.
But this is also a story of an adventure of a young athlete in a far away land. A subject that I debate at the end of the episode. Is this still an experience that young triathletes dream of?
