When training for an extreme physical challenge in the Spring, you can’t wait for optimal training condtions. You have to suck it up and get out there. This photo was taken after a crazy cold 10K race in Grand Forks, ND. This race kicked off the epic Grand Forks Winter Series consisting of a 10K run, 12 mile bike race, and Winter Triathlon. Despite temperatures in the single digits, I was able to walk away from “Day 1” tied for the lead with top-ranked triathlete Sean Cooley. This Saturday’s Iceman Triathlon will serve as our very own “boarder battle”. May the best man win !
