Bengal Triathlon

09/12/2026

CONGRATS to two-time Bengal Tri champ Aileen Pannecoucke on a GREAT race at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Nice, France today. Aileen finished 32nd in her age group (out of 327)... on what is being called the toughest half Iron course in the world! What a remarkable performance by AP! And look... she brought the BENGAL TRI (belt) along for the ride! LOVE TO see that!

ICYMI: (Dr.) Jorge De Amorim Filho (Pocatello) won this year's overall (individual) title in a blistering fast 1:01... which included him getting a flat on the bike and spending (he estimates) between 4-5 minutes fixing it. He came off the bike in 4th place... and managed to pass 'em all on the run. Beast. . On the women's side, Aileen Pannecoucke (Pocatello) defended her title.... in a 1:03!

THIS IS ASHLEY. THIS Is why I put on the Bengal Tri. As exhausted as I am today, Ashley reminded me of “my why.” Her emotions are raw and pure… and I saw soooo many examples of that at yesterday’s finish line, regardless of placement (just look at the finish line pics… it’s obvious). Thanks to all of you for reminding me why I love this sport, and for reminding me that anything is possible. Much love, Smitty Out 🧡
