Racing back-to-back weekends did not seem to faze Ben Nephew one bit as he won yet another long distance race, this one coming at the Rhode Island 6 hour Ultra. This race also served as the USATF New England Ultra Championship. Ben continued his string of stellar races this year, with disciplines ranging from snowshoe racing to mountain races to trail and road ultras. It looks as though Ben's shoe of choice was his own re-engineered Roclite 320. Down almost 7 minutes 15 laps into the race Ben came from behind in dramatic fashion and caught his competition on lap 18 and then built a 1 minute lead on the final 19th lap. Nice job!

Ben put in a tremendous effort yesterday, it was pretty exciting to watch the battle between him and Martin. Here are Scott Mason's photos from the event:
