Kaleb Muller is happy to be back racing after the COVID-19 pandemic delayed and cancelled several events over the last few years.

Starting last summer, Muller was able to get back to training for competitions instead of just training to keep ready. Now, Muller is ready to finish the season strong as a few more events are left.

“It’s been a little bit more of a normal season. Last year there was zero competitions, so we started racing in July and then we had Canadian Championships in October. I did well enough there to make the fall World Cup team and after that, I competed in three international competitions — the World Cup in Salt Lake City, in Calgary, and then Four Continents Championships in December. I happened to walk away with some new personal bests as well, so that’s kind of where we’re at right now,” he explained.
