Nick's Notes...

Rookie of the Year has been a coed award since 2006. In that nine-year period only one male, NICK NYGAARD in 2014, has taken home the trophy. Though his Team Minnesota rank last year was in the 14th-17th range, we would be surprised if he didn't land a spot on the 2015 Team. To do this he'd have to place highly in the Olympic-distances races at Buffalo, Timberman and Brewhouse and legitimately break 4:20 at half IM.

We are anxious to see how he does in his Ironman debut next fall (IMOO).

Here is the email outling Nick's 2015 tentative plans: ...

Hey MTN Guys -

The only tri I'm currently signed up for is IM Madison. Otherwise, I'd like to do four of the following: Buffalo, Timberman, Buzz Ryan, Brewhouse, Burrito Union, Green Lake, and Superior Man.

I think it'll shape up to be a fun summer!

Nick
