Thanks to Casey for these photos….

Marx-Bensdorf cyclist Will Stoffel headed up to Missouri for the Howlin’ Half Ironman triathlon this past weekend. Will is in the final stages of preparation for Ironman Arizona later this month.

Stoffel was third out of the water, second off the bike, and first by the end of the run giving him a hard earned victory! Stoffel and two others came together late in the run. With time running out, Will made his move on the last hill before the finish, opening a gap over second and third place. Will maintained the gap to the finish to take the overall victory. Total time was right around 4:16 – a solid effort!

Excellent job out there Stoffel!

Congrats to Ben on a solid win at the RRS 10 mile run in Shelby Forest on October 24th. Ben cruised over a very challenging course – can you say switchbacks – to win by 36 seconds.

Solid job Ben! Who said cyclists can’t run?

Well the website issues have been taken care of and we are back live! Lots of changes since the website went down.

The team has finished up a successful season and some have already begun their training for 2011. The Marx-Bensdorf Cycling Team saw 5 riders join the Cat 3 ranks from BPC Cycling, a development style feeder squad for the MB team. Scott Newberry, Phil Daniele, John King, Dale Sanford, Ben Knoernschild, and Mac Johnson will be solid contributors going into the 2011 season.

The women closed out a VERY successful first season. Lots of wins, podiums, and top 10′s for the ladies squad. More info will be steadily uploaded. Stay tuned!
