I raced my 1997 Trek Y bike at Iceman 2000. 🤣Who else returned after 2019 to race this year?
That's good and bad depending on how you look at it. The past five races they're allow people to average includes 2016 which was an unusually short course due to logging so times are much lower than normal for that year. So the combo of excluding 2019 and including 2016 is skewing averages and allowing people to "qualify" for waves they have no business being in. Using this years system I qualified for wave 3 but for the past three races I've been seeded in wave 5 so that's what I requested. I suspect most people will not be that honest with themselves about their ability and based on the update e-mail we got last night it sounds like I'm right.Just registered for 2022! Good news is they're allowing you to drop your 2019 (mud) time and use an average of prior years for Wave assignment. Bad news is it appears the Ice Society is gone and no longer on the site. Kinda sucks because there was a group of riders I connected with only via Iceman. Most of them are not Facebook users.
