Why MP Multisport? When I returned to the Northern Colorado region in 2010, after a 13-year Air Force hiatus, I instantly knew this would be the place to harbor my multisport and endurance athletic dreams for the foreseeable long-term. I fell in love with the endless trail network (both paved and off-road). The beautiful reservoirs offering open-water swimming and the diversity of cycling where you could venture into the mountains for some major climbing (Big Thompson, Rist, Poudre Canyons, Red Feather Lakes) or stay North and East where traffic-less flat roads await.
What quickly came to my attention, was how big the Boulder and University of Colorado multisport scene was. Why was I driving down to Boulder 2-3 times a month for races, training and, of course grandparents?! We could have that in our amazing community of Fort Collins! There are no differences, with the exception of a lot less traffic to contend with! Now, don't get me wrong, I don't want a competition with the Boulder scene. They can have it! But I vowed to do my part in bringing multisport leadership to the area while collaborating with the available resources to put Fort Collins on the endurance athletic map also.
The endurance scene here in Northern Colorado is amazing and growing quickly! No matter where I go, people are outside moving, and the climate, terrain, and culture supports it! We have awesome events starting up in the area through T2 Coaching and the multiple races Wendy puts on as race director, our work with Mark Wilson on the HITS triathlon series, Lisa and the Horsetooth Tri Training Series, George Thornton and the Horsetooth Open Water Swim, several 1/2 and full marathons, dozens of yourgroupride.com events, TT series, X racing...there literally is something going on every weekend throughout the year.
Plan on checking back here periodically for updates on the amazing things MP Multisport Athletes are doing nationwide. I thank everyone for pushing me in the right direction to following my dreams and helping me with this endeavor! I have very BIG plans for the Northern Colorado region and MP Multisport athletes all over. With the proper direction and long-term goal setting, we will get there.
