\"Iceman<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We all know that sinking feeling, when that twinge of pain has stayed with us a little longer than we thought it would. When we are starting to consider that a call to the doctor might be more needed than just a trip to Meijer. When you know you probably shouldn\u2019t push through the pain this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is unfortunately what happened to our wonderful amateur rider Matt, he graciously agreed to let us follow his training for his second Iceman race. After some pain in his ankle he went into the doctor and on his order Matt will not be racing in this year\u2019s Iceman but hopes to be back with us next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am sure two questions come to mind\u2026 first what happens to his race registration? And is anyone taking his place? Those are both great questions I am glad you asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you find yourself in a similar situation to Matt, and cannot race in this year\u2019s Iceman even though you have already signed up, you can do exactly what Matt did. Transfer out of the race, you can do that right from your registration on the website. There is a list of excited people who are waiting to transfer into your spot so don\u2019t wait if you know you can\u2019t race! Also transfers close October 11th<\/sup> so make sure you transfer out soon, to get your money back. You will receive your registration fee back minus $20 which is donated to youth cycling teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will be someone taking Matt\u2019s place, so you still have a virtual training buddy! Let me introduce\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garrett Boyd, when he is not training for his next event you will find him at his day job as a Pharmacy buyer for Munson Medical Center. Not new to mountain biking but to mountain bike racing so break him in easy, but he should be able to hold his own! He has decided to take on the Iceman Cometh Challenge after completing the Ironman Traverse City, and he was looking for his next challenge. He is looking forward to getting out of his element and spending more time out in the woods as that is one of his favorite parts of mountain biking. He is training 4-5 times a week to try to accomplish his under 2.5 hour goal for the Iceman Cometh Challenge. Follow Garrett on Facebook or Instagram at gboyd03 to see how his training is going and pick up some extra tips! Good Luck Garrett!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
