Let’s Get This Party Started

Posted in Racing, Falcon and Kid by Ben Harper

Ladies and Gentleman…boys and girls, keep that champagne handy, cause that cork is going to pop and I’m ready to soak someone. The season has officially started for the Timex Multisport Team. With a stacked team of athletes exiting the Timex Multisport Team Camp in Carlsbad, CA we are all looking forward to seeing great successes and the stories that go hand-in-hand with racing & training hard.

The Falcon and I are off to Tempe, AZ for the IM down there. I heard it’s hotter than the sun down there, so this ought to be interesting. I left Wisco Disco a couple weeks ago and it was in the 30’s and then hit Cali for the first time and it was in the 60-70’s, so I’m just super excited to melt in the dry desert for a couple weeks, but I’ll make sure to get the oil drum of sunscreen.

For those who don’t know the Falcon is the nickname for the Timex Truck, but it’s real name is the Black Falcon and the Kid is a nickname given by DJ jazzy B (aka, Doug) to me because since I have turned 30, I’ve been carded for each time I’ve bought scratch tickets…and that would be 3 times. I’m wondering if I could go back to high school and no one would be the wiser. Now that would be fun. That would be a bit different than the first time around when I looked like a faculty child.

My posts will be stories from the road/races throughout the circuit, from IM Arizona through IM 70.3 World Champs in Clearwater and all the big ones in the middle and lots of truck stops. I have a project this summer and it involves mullet sightings with photo documentation while researching the different/unique styles of this amazing hair style in different parts of the country. I’m hoping to find the elusive Kentucky waterfall, the Camero Mullet (must have camero), and the Mississippi Mud-Flap. But my whale would be the ultimate femme mullet. Ratings will be based on Aggressiveness and Mulletude. Let the sightings begin…and if I’m brave enough I will attempt to “Touch the Mullet,” but this will be extremely hard and may have to put my running shoes on before I attempt.
