Origin of Birth: Rochester, MN…and no I was not born at the Mayo Clinic. I grew up learning team sports and now I seem to avoid them.

Racing/running/riding background:
Pre college – ran track in high school and did some singletrack without realizing it.
Post college – Ran some trail races and biked self-supported from Rochester to Castle Danger, MN for a wedding.
2011 – Ran a marathon and rode the Almanzo in the same month. Later I ran a half marathon and rode the Gentlemen’s Ride.
Name: Sven Hoaglund
Favorite Beer: PBR…no seriously.
Origin of Birth: Born with some breathing difficulties and screwed up legs. Grew long hair, smoked some pot (I didn’t inhale), and avoided all activities requiring physical exertion. Got off my ass one day and went for a run and the rest is history.
Interests: Swimming, cycling, and running (together as one sport or separately), hunting tasty woodland creatures, paddling, and bluegrass. I also like pain
Racing/running/riding background: (2006) Started running more than once a month , did a marathon, did a trail marathon, did a triathlon, did a couple more, did an ironman, ran some trail races, rode Almanzo, did some triathlons, did another Ironman…
