Ben
Schloegel, Professional Triathlete/USAT Level I Coach/Fire Fighter
and Co-0wner of Endurance Management Group

finisher, 7x Age group champion and multiple USAT All American. Ben has
completed 18 Ironman races including Hawaii 3 times (once as a pro).
In addition to racing as a professional for the past 3 years, Ben also
works as a fire fighter for the city of Kansas City, MO on Truck 8
serving the East side. He is co-owner and creator of Endurance
Management Group--the regions premier coaching, camps and clinics

Ben did not grow up racing as an athlete but was
introduced to the sport by his cousin Bob in his early twenties and has
only been swimming, biking and running for the past 8 years. He
believes that balance, consistency and hard work is fundamental to the
success for athletes of all ability levels and that being a better
athlete should make you better at everything else you pursue in life.
Ben lives in the Kansas City area with his dog Sammy and enjoys dressing
like a gnome wearing a speedo. When he is not racing, coaching or at
the fire house he keeps very busy with his family and friends and
drinking coffee as well as being active in Big Brothers and Big
Sisters. www.benschloegel.com
