Two more of our state's top multisporters have responded to MTN's request concerning their 2014 race schedules. Patrick Parish (photo above) did not reveal his tri/du calendar, but he told us what he has been up to lately, which made us totally envious: ...

 

Hi MTN Guys,
 
It's been an exciting winter thus far.
 
It started in Bend, Oregon with the Annual Convention of Skinny Punks, better known as cross country club nationals.  I traveled with the Run N Fun crew, which is always a blast.  Minnesota was well-represented both on the course and on the dance floor - by whom, I can't say.  That part of the country is spectacular!
 
Next up was Christmas in Vermont.  Mountain running, nordic skiing, and quality time with a family that's rarely under one roof - no complaints!
 
I flew back to Minneapolis for one night, which fortunately coincided with the end-of-the-year boot hockey game - hurts so good!
 
Then I was off to New Zealand for an impromptu adventure with a German friend I recently met at Grand Performance bike shop.  There's nothing like starting the new year with the longest ride of your life.  It was epic!
She wrote about it here: http://monikasattler.blogspot.com/2014/01/a-backpack-and-bike-and-horizon-as.html
 
I'm not entirely sure what's next.  That's a tough act to follow, but I have a few ideas and I'm back in Minnesota getting ready to try them out.
 
Regards,
Patrick

Hey MTN,
 
Sorry this took a few days, I've been debating a lot of this years schedule.  I've been trying to come back from an injury since Nationals, so I haven't thought much about anything else other than returning to 'normal'.  Here is a rough version of what I'm thinking now:
 

Race Schedule:

Running race late March/early April

April 26th, 2014: Falls Duathlon (tentative)

May 8th, 2014: TC 1 mile

May 10th, 2014: Oakdale Duathlon

May 24th, 2014: Apple Duathlon

June 7th, 2014: Trinona Time Trial

July 19th, 2014: Duathlon National Championships

August 24th, 2014: Minneapolis Duathlon (tentative)

September 13th, 2014: Park Tool Duathlon

September 20th, 2014: Treadman Duathlon

October 5th, 2014: TC 10 mile (hopefully)
 
Things may change as they usually do, but my focus this year will be on the Duathlon National Championships and a running race in the fall.  I know this isn't much, I can't believe it's February!
 
Hope all is well with you!  Oh, and your little tidbit on MNTriNews about the USAT honorees is now KILLING me.  I hope they announce soon! 
 
Best,
Jenn
