Felt Bicycles’ company founder Jim Felt says, “We are thrilled Team Every Man Jack will be on our bikes this year. We like everything they stand for including the fact that they have such a wide and diverse reach. There is a certain real-world element to the athletes on the team, each an example of what it means to be a ‘working pro’. It hits home with us and we are looking forward to a lot of success together.”

Every Man Jack Founder and President Ritch Viola added, “The guys are super excited to partner with Felt. Felt is more than just an innovative brand with super fast and sexy bikes. They have maintained a strong entrepreneurial spirit as they have grown and working directly with Jim Felt on setting up our program was so inspiring. He and the entire Felt team are so personally and professionally invested in the athletes that ride their bikes – you can feel the support and enthusiasm. And, this was something I knew our guys would thrive off of and we really wanted to be a part of that type of culture.”

The Hard Way To 70.3 Worlds: One Age-Group Champion’s Story

Age grouper Kyle Hummel’s path to the Ironman 70.3 World Championship was not built from the seamless block of training you’d expect from someone who won his 30–34-year-old division. Instead, his milestones this year have had less to do with buildup races and podium results and more to do with hospital visits.

Dispatch: The Man Behind Team Every Man Jack

When Ironman champion Meredith Kessler mentioned to me that her key training partners–a group of talented class-act guys in the San Francisco Bay Area–smell really good, I did the only logical thing I could think of and lined up an interview with one of them. It turns out there’s a reason the guys she trains with are exceptionally well-groomed, despite the endless hours they spend swimming, cycling, running and sweating. They’re members of the all-men’s Team Every Man Jack, the title sponsor of which is a high-quality men’s hair and body care product line (Everymanjack.com).
