Ben Rudson’s an engineer, a pro-triathlete, and a pretty wise dude. He was a latecomer to triathlon but once he found the sport he excelled at it quickly. Although he’s originally from Nanaimo, he moved to Kingston for university, and then to Calgary for employment. And although Ben is a super-quick guy who specializes in the 70.3 distance, he knew the challenges of being a full-time pro would be daunting. Then along came Covid, and the chances of earning a living in the sport with a name that isn’t Gomez, Ryf, or Sanders, were pretty slim. No problem for Ben as that degree in engineering has him at a demanding job that both pays the bills and also allows him to train at the elite level. Hear part one of Ben’s story from his days as a hockey player in Nanaimo to his surprisingly fast Ironman debut that qualified him for Kona.
