Last year I split my season into two with the first half being triathlon-focused (MusselMan Half Iron) and the second half focusing on mountain biking (IceMan). That was a huge step outside my comfort zone because although I wanted to improve my mountain biking skills, I had never participated in a mountain bike race before. The thought terrified me particularly since I had selected the largest mountain biking race in the country as my "A" mountain biking race. But all is well that ends well. I really enjoyed my mountain biking season, bumps, bruises and all. IceMan was fantastic. And I had a great time at the local races that I competed in. So that brings me to 2014. This year I am combining triathlon and mountain biking once again but this time into one season and one A race, Xterra Marquette Epic. I love upstate Michigan and always look for an opportunity to head up north, as they say. So here is the lineup:
