The schedule isn’t quite clear what the fall will look like as I imagine some early season races will defer to that period of the calendar, but it’s a great start including something I’ve never done before – a full Ironman.

When it comes to racing, Minnesota triathletes are notoriously reluctant. If, for instance, an event experiences yucky weather in, say, 2017, you can be sure that enrollment at the 2018 race will suffer somewhat. Or we will be hesitant about registering for events that undergo changes, like a new date or venue....
