The weather has been changing and so have the rides we go out on. I have started riding almost every day of the week in preparation for the Iceman Race! The fall season is a great time to lock-in and start winding down to the race days. People race way more in the fall for mountain biking compared to the summer season, just because that is how the schedule works.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"is-style-default wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image_50787841-scaled.jpg?resize=840%2C630&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1013\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image_50787841-scaled.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image_50787841-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image_50787841-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image_50787841-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image_50787841-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image_50787841-scaled.jpg?resize=1200%2C900&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image_50787841-scaled.jpg?w=1680&amp;ssl=1 1680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of summer, I started to participate in the MISCA races downstate. MISCA has a big sponsorship with ICEMAN and I was so happy to find that out.\u00a0 MISCA has helped me to prepare for the Iceman race and the challenges out on that course. There are all types of terrain downstate that have helped me to be a strong rider and become more confident.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Slowing tracking into the Iceman season has many layers to it that have been developed all summer. I have been working extra hard on my nutrition and my hydration. Now that the fall season has come around I am starting to work on my biking techniques and my daily riding. After taking a break in the summer to just have a biking free couple weeks I noticed my legs can recover faster and I am ready to start riding almost everyday again! I have started working more on my recovery, because of the MISCA races being every Sunday and having to fit in TCTF and P2P it\u2019s important for me to have healthy muscle recovery. I have been stretching lots and making sure I drink lots of water and electrolytes before and after my race. I have been very strict on making sure to get good sleep and eating lots of carbs leading up to race day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"is-style-default wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"840\" height=\"1120\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/download-3.png?resize=840%2C1120&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/download-3.png?w=1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/download-3.png?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/download-3.png?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/download-3.png?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/download-3.png?resize=1200%2C1600&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall I am just very excited to see all the hard work fall together for the Iceman race and I can\u2019t wait to see how much progress I have made from last year.
