2014 Preview

Running

Garry Bjorklund

Loony Challenge - 5k, 10k, and 10 miler on TC Marathon weekend

Those are my big races for the year. I will start with some fun stuff like the pub shuffle next weekend. I will also hit local races like the Park Point 5 miler and others. 

Triathlon

USAT long distance nationals

???

Trying to put a good race down at nationals in Grand Rapids in early June. No other nailed down plans right now. I will do some local MN races, and might try and find a cool fall race also. This year will see me on the other side of the fence at Superior Man.  I will be directing the bike course instead of racing. I am excited and look forward to helping make Superior Man an even better race. 

2013 Review

I know this is a little late, but I am trying to get back to blogging so here goes. 

Running

Early season running had me knock out a PR at my pre Grandma's 10 k in Barnum. I also hit my PR at the Garry Bjorklund half. My fall running suffered though. After Tahoe I had no drive to train and went into TC Marathon weekend with no training at all. The loony challenge proved to be painful but interesting. Interesting enough that I signed up again for 2014. 

Tri

I made a big focus on long distance races in 2013. I started with a promising race at the Duluth Tri. I followed that with a PR at Boulder in tough conditions. Superior Man was equally tough, and I felt pleased with my effort. My season finale ironman at Lake Tahoe left me happy with my effort even though I did not get the time I was hoping for. Overall, a decent season.
