Eric’s Polar Roll Winter Adventure

Wondering What “DNF” Stands For? Read my Polar Roll (aka “Stroll”) Adventure and Find Out…

In the competitive sporting world, the term DNF is one you never want to see next to your name in the race results. While it’s very rare that I end on a podium when racing my bike, one of the things that I’m pretty proud of over my years of cycling is I rarely have ever had the “dreaded” DNF (Did Not Finish) next to my name. That changed in Ishpeming this past February.

I snagged the 10 bonus points for my 7th and final race of the MGRS (Michigan Grave Road Series). My buddy Brian and I took a 33-mile joyride through Lowell and I finished 13/13 in my age group.

Legs are primed for the big show next weekend in Traverse City.

Cereal City Duathlon – WSI Cycling Takes Top Two Places

The Cereal City Tri/du is one of my favorite races of the year. The course is great and Cereal City Athletics is the best race promoter around in my opinion. The weather was perfect this year-cool and sunny at the start. It was also nice to see a lot of other WSI teammates there. Continue reading “Cereal City Duathlon – WSI Cycling Takes Top Two Places”

The Circus Swims, then rides, then runs, then…pizza and beer

I was asked by the DNR staff member if I was “In State” or “Out of State” when I pulled into Potato Creek State Park near South Bend Indiana. I asked, “Does Michigan count as out of state?” He responded “definitely.”

I drove to South Bend jacked up on Kalamazoo Coffee and Ted Nugent on the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast.

My strategy going into this event was survive the swim, Rip it on the bike and see what was left for the run.

The Swim: Mucky and warm. 800 yards. It was a triangle shaped route. I got a little off course on the way back but was happy with my time.

The Bike: It was my first time at Potato Creek. 2 laps of the 8-mile course was on schedule. A good mix of roots, rocks, and dust.

The Run: Stupid Hilly. A delicate balance of discomfort, tight quads, and suffering.

2 hours and 10 minutes which was good for 21st overall and 4th in my age group.

July 29 I return to my Michigan Gravel Race Series campaign in Manton Michigan.
