He qualified for XTERRA Worlds by finishing runner-up at the Mountain Championship in Beaver Creek, Colo., earlier this summer.

After overcoming some significant adversity these past couple of seasons, including a Lyme disease diagnosis, depression and a broken wrist and shoulder from crashes, the "Scottish Rocket" is back in Maui after missing the 2014 race to contend for the XTERRA world title.
