Tevin's Taupo....

2024 Taupo, NZ 70.3 World Championships Race Report - This venue was world class! Honestly, didn’t have any crazy expectations going into this race other than to have fun and leave it all out on the course. I can say I play my hand about as well as I could have today.

Swim was a breakthrough for me going under 30 minutes for the first time. It was the clearest water I’ve ever swam in seeing the bottom the entire swim.

Bike course started with 12 miles of straight climbing. You saw a lot of people go out and cook themselves early. Power was low all-day, but road consistent throughout 256AP - 263NP

Run course was extremely tougher than it looked on paper and the 9AM start for the age group didn’t do any favors for us starting the run right around noon. Definitely the discipline that I want to work on the most… have yet to piece it together!

If you asked me if I would have been here 18 months ago I would have laughed in your face....

Happy New Year from MTN!

Wishing They Were Here...

Our last post featured many of the talented men who were ineligible for MMH consideration due to low racing volume or taking a a year or two off. Here are some of the fast women who we'd like to see return to racing, or increase their racing volume.

Olivia Melhorn, 33, Prior Lake - Since 2013 this former collegiate and professional soccer player has only raced fourteen times, and she won half of those races. She hasn't entered more than one race per season since 2017. We'd love to see her make a comeback.

Grace Busch, 21, Mankato - Where is Grace these days? The former Junior of the Year was well on her way to becoming an adult tri star when she stopped racing in 2023. Our fingers are crossed. We hope she returns to our state's tri scene in the near future.

Sara Carlson, 46, Brainerd - A winner of at least six tris in her career, with consistent sub-5 hour clockings at 70.3, Sara hasn't raced in a tri since '22. She occasionally "threatens" to return. We hope she makes good on that threat, hopefully in 2025.

Nicole Cueno, 44, Minneapolis - Nicole is like the popular person who lights up the room then leaves. In 2022 she lit up the room at YWCA Women's Tri and Turtleman, winning both, then she hasn't entered a tri since. Our records show her having raced in ten multis since 2014 and winning five times. Her only non-podium effort was a 4th at Gear West Duathlon in 2016....
