ED. Brian Sames was the runner-up for 2012 Minnesota Rookie of the Year and winner of the 2013 Male Most Improved award. Last week he sent MTN his tentative 2014 racing schedule. Check it out. Also, we found this awesome pic (L) on Brian's FB page. It doesn't have anything to do with this post, but we thought it was too cool not to share.

Hey MTN,

First off its great to hear from you and I hope everything is going well. As for me, I’ve been trying to keep myself busy with training and with the weather being as chilly as it is, I’ve been swimming and biking much more than I ever had and definitely looking forward to getting the season started....

Actually I made a trip to Key West Florida a few weeks ago to race in the 70.3 Bone Island Triathlon. Unfortunately I blew my rear tire so was unable to finish but the race did enjoy the trip. Just getting out of the MN tundra for a few days felt amazing.

As for this upcoming season. I’m planning on racing a couple of duathlons early on to help tune up for the season then I’ll have a couple longer distances to tune up for Ironman Wisconsin in September

Here is my tentative racing schedule:

Falls Duathlon

Cinco Du Mayo

Apple Duathlon

Buffalo

Liberty Tri (half distance)

Grandma’s marathon

Racine 70.3

USAT Nationals (If I qualify)

Ironman Wisconsin

TC Marathon
