Triathlete careeredit
Kemper competed at the first Olympic triathlon at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. He took seventeenth place with a total time of 1:50:05.56.
Four years later, at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Kemper competed again. He moved up to ninth place with a time of 1:52:46.33 on the more rigorous course.
At the ITU San Diego Triathlon in 2012, he placed fifth with a time of 1:49:18 qualifying him for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London for the USA Olympic team. He placed fourteenth in those games to lead the U.S. triathlon team.[2]
Kemper is one of only two American male triathletes ever to be ranked world #1 by the International Triathlon Union (ITU) (American Mark Fretta also held the world #1 rank for 4 months in 2006). In July 2006, he won the Life Time Fitness Triathlon in Minneapolis, MN, winning what was at the time the largest purse in professional triathlon competition.
