We asked Team INFINIT Athlete Maddy Frank to take us through a day in the life of a high school senior who also balances life as a Cat 1 mountain biker and competitive cyclist. Biking for Maddy has become an identity, therapy, an outlet to express her competitive nature. Between her challenging academic, training, and work schedules — this girl proves she thrives under the weight of any challenge!

I could hardly feel my hands as I sat on the front of the group of 1600 racers plummeting down towards the first climb of what was sure to be a very long, hard day.

The Leadville 100 is a mountain bike race like nothing else. The energy and athletes that fill the sleepy mining town is unrivaled by any other mountain bike race in the world. This year was my 6th time taking on the 104 miles and 11,000ft of climbing.

Kurt Barclay is a professional mountain biker out of Minnesota and the 2017 Iditarod Trail Invitational winner. The INFINIT athlete hopes for a repeat performance in Alaska in 2018.
