After sweating, cramping, and lots of miles I feel like I had a successful season. My first group of races were the NMMBA fat bike races, which I only partook in 3 of the 6, because of bad weather and sickness. I won the women\u2019s overall title, and I podiumed in each race I rode. The next race was Barry Roubaix, and then Mud Sweat and Beers. I learned very valuable lessons in each of those races. Not everything goes as planned and sometimes life will throw obstacles at you, but you can&#8217;t let that affect your fun and racing. I had lots of training blocks, before I started the MISCA Mountain Bike Series downstate. Those races were definitely out of my comfort zone, and I learned a lot of new techniques throughout the 6 races. I learned the best lesson at states, and that was that no matter what happens your teammates&#8217; success is always important. I had won the State Champ, but I was more excited for my teammate Tori, who had won 1st at the race and moved up overall!!! <\/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\/12\/B373171E-6A30-4C22-ADDB-C9D868DAC05A1-1.jpeg?resize=840%2C1120&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1091\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/B373171E-6A30-4C22-ADDB-C9D868DAC05A1-1.jpeg?w=1240&amp;ssl=1 1240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/B373171E-6A30-4C22-ADDB-C9D868DAC05A1-1.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/B373171E-6A30-4C22-ADDB-C9D868DAC05A1-1.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/B373171E-6A30-4C22-ADDB-C9D868DAC05A1-1.jpeg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/B373171E-6A30-4C22-ADDB-C9D868DAC05A1-1.jpeg?resize=1200%2C1601&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\">Then the big race Iceman came. I was not ready to make the quick switch from 15 mile races to a 30+ mile race. The different riding terrain downstate to Iceman had kicked my body. Iceman was an extremely long race for me, but what can you expect after a long 16 race season? I rode the race and I just enjoyed the new trails and terrain that was added in this year. I finished that race and I was happy to know my season was over, but I was sad knowing that was my last race of 2024. Then I remembered I have all of my races in 2025. My \u201cbig\u201d race for next year is going to be MARJI50 and Iceman of course. I couldn&#8217;t be happier for this race season, but I am also so very thankful for all the support and help throughout the year. I can&#8217;t wait for next season, but for now it&#8217;s basketball season for me and off season for many others!!! Thank You So Much!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A HUGE thank you to Piper Shumar @pipershumar for being out first ever Junior Iceman Ambassador!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the 2024 season comes to an end, I have 16 races to look back on, and some races to look forward to in 2025.
