This was my 2nd year of Running Racing. My first race of the year was a really awesome time for me because I was 4 minutes faster for 5kms. I progressively got slower because I gained weight when I went to college in winter and spring. I battled through some shin splits for a couple of weeks. I was really happy with my training. I did a total of  km’s running in 2024.

* In total for my career after 2 seasons of racing I have done 9 races (4 Trail & 5 Road)

This was my 12th year of MTB racing. I did two races this year because I was still in college during spring as a personal fitness trainer and I went to the Oilers game during the Stanley cup final. I had put on weight this year and was a little bit slower because of that. I had fun in both of my races. I did a total of  km’s cycling in 2024.

* In total for my career after 12 season’s of MTB racing I have done 66 races (64 MTB & 2 Road) and I did not include my Tuesday night MTB races.
