Jordan Jones is a man of many interests. He is a pro triathlete, successful business owner, former police officer and ran a 14:25 5k at Boston U. Jordan is on the start list for Hy-Vee to compete for the huge paycheck.
Andreas Böcherer earned the European 70.3 Championship title with his recent win at 70.3 Wiesbaden, and the quiet German has had a very good season so far. We won’t see him in Las Vegas, but he is looking forward to Kona.
Some of us are paid after two weeks of work, some of us are paid monthly. That lag in pay can be a lot longer for pro triathletes and in some cases they may actually not see the money at all.
Mark Hekman is a very fast Pro road racer and well known for his sprinting strength. We may see him soon in a few triathlons, but now we look closer at his Team Cleveland Clinic Felt FC.
Kyle Jones is currently the top ranked Canadian male ITU Pro, but he’ll be the first to say that getting on the podium in the important races is what really matters. He had a few words with slowtwitch.
Andreas Böcherer overcame rain and a tough bike course to win the 70.3 European Championships in Wiesbaden, Germany. Karin Thuerig also took care of business on the bike and earned the women’s title.

Luke Bell pulled away from Paul Ambrose to take the 2011 Ironman 70.3 Lake Stevens title. Tyler Stewart had a monster bike split and then cruised home on a fast 1:22:29 run to take the win.
Canada’s Brent McMahon jumped out of a break to win the Tiszaujvaros World Cup in Hungary. A bit earlier in the day, American Gwen Jorgensen earned her first World Cup win, for a North American sweep.
