But that was mountain bike racer Liam Mulcahy's goal before competing in the recent World Cup event in Mont Sainte Anne, Quebec, his first venture onto the World Cup stage. Did he achieve it? Indeed he did, jumping from 62nd to 41st in the world U23 rankings for the sport. The 21 year old, who will finish his advanced business diploma this year at Durham College, managed to complete the six-lap, 4.1 km, course in around 90 mins. (The winner finished in 1:17:44 and the 25 finishers after him were recorded as being up to 11:37 mins slower than that.) "This was definitely the hardest I've ever raced," he said. "It was very steep and took a ton of effort. The downhills are very technical. You don't really have time to recover on a course like this." Mulcahy competed in the provincials last week, finishing second, and is currently ranked fourth in Canada. His objective is to compete in more World Cup events while completing his schooling at Durham and then UOIT.
