A Message From Our Club President

Larry Brede, KTC President

Exciting Times forYouth Development

Program

Knoxville Track Club * FOOTNOTES * November / December 2016 edition

Over the past year and a half,Wilbur Hawkins and Bob Bar-ber have worked hard to bring a

basic track program to disadvantagedyouth in the Knoxville Area. Wilbur,Bob, and former KTC President ChrisHarper approached the Board of Direc-tors in March 2015 about implementinga pilot youth running program in con-junction with Project Grad. They askedfor and received approval for funding toconduct an 8-week pilot program atChristenberry Elementary School thatspring, two days per week, using KTCsponsored coaches and volunteer assis-tant coaches from the school. Bobauthored a training plan for the program,and with a few other KTC volunteers the

program kicked off with 31 students.

Since that first spring event, the pro-gram continues to grow. The KTC co-sponsored some of these kids to partici-pate in the Knoxville Youth Athleticssummer program, conducted an-other spring training programin 2016, and even coordi-nated participation in theCovenant Health Knox-ville Marathon Kid’s Milethis year.

This summer, our Ex-ecutive Director KristyAltman joined Wilbur in ex-panding the program to evenmore schools. Kristy and Wilbur areextremely active with this growth, in-cluding recruiting teachers at schools toserve as volunteer coaches at their sites.They’ve covered much of the KTC over-sight, including KTC coaching training

and orientation, and are working on re-fining that original training plan to tailor itto each school’s location and needs.

The results for where this program istoday are outstanding! For this fall’s

session, which runs through thefirst week of November, the

KTC Youth DevelopmentProgram is in four schools:

♦ 76 at BeaumontMagnet Academy (42 ingrades 3 – 5; 34 in K-2)

♦ 40 at Norwood El-ementary (Grades 3 – 5)

♦ 26 at Christenberry Elementary(Grades K-5)

♦ 10 at Northwest Middle School(Grades 6-8)

The program is now in place whereeach school supplies its own coaches,who the KTC trains to lead their stu-dents. Kristy is actively looking for apotential program sponsor and grant fund-ing, and is in talks to expand the programinto another school in the spring.

I really love to see how Wilbur andBob brought their idea to fruition, andthe club is now actively giving back tothe youth in our community. Kristy andWilbur’s active efforts to train coachesis allowing this program to grow sorapidly. Be sure to thank these threeoutstanding KTC leaders when you seethem next.

Notes From Your Executive Director

Kristy Altman, KTC Executive Director

GOOD TIMES IN 2016

Hello November! It’s a great timeof year to be thankful and reflecton 2016.

Here are a few highlights:

The expansion of Knoxville YouthRuns. After a successful meet-ing with Great Schools Part-nership and Site Directorsfrom several CommunitySchool Programs, theprogram expanded into3 new sites this fall mak-ing 4 total. Additionally,the program had roughly30 kids in the spring at-tending sessions and we’vehad over 150 this fall. We’re alreadylooking ahead to spring and further ex-pansion. Huge thanks to Bob Barber forgetting the program started and to WilburHawkins for taking the program lead andworking to continue to grow and expand.

Knoxville Youth Runs is offered to stu-dents and schools at no cost. Schoolsprovide coaches (both staff and commu-nity volunteers) and KTC provides theprogram and equipment. KTC is alwayslooking for financial and in-kind supportso please shoot us an email at

[email protected] you’d like to help.

Knoxville has onceagain been designated asa Runner Friendly Com-munity by the Road Run-ners Club of America

(RRCA). The goal of theprogram is to spotlight com-

munities that standout as run-ner friendly and to provide incen-

tive for other communities to work to-ward the designation. Per RRCA, “run-ner friendly communities can increase thequality of life, can improve physical activ-ity for residents, and can provide for an

increased economic impact for the com-munity.” Knoxville was one of the origi-nal Runner Friendly Communities in 2011and this designation will be valid for 5years.

It was an amazing year for road andtrail running. Several events saw an in-crease over 2015 and we expect thosenumbers to continue to rise in 2017. Wehave a great group of Race Directors ondeck to bring high quality events to ourparticipants. And kudos to our RoadRace and Trail Committees for their hardwork. These folks represent participants,volunteers, and members and attend racesregularly and then work to make surethat future events are even better. And,after a record year of 7,999, we expectthe Covenant Health Knoxville Marathonwill see another increase and make it over8,000 participants next April. The Ten-nessee Sports Medicine Group Farragut13.1, 5K, and Kids Mile also had anamazing year and planning for 2017 isalready underway!

Our social adventures have been onpoint all year. Kudos to Lauren Chiles forher great work in sending the weeklyemails and organizing top notch socialruns. If you haven’t attended one yet,then join us next year for good times.

And finally, RunKNOX is wrappingup a very strong year. Thanks to HeadCoach Scott Schmidt and his wife Angieand Eden Slater and Sarah Hopkins, theprogram is thriving. We’ve seen athletesachieve their goals all year with a smile ontheir face. This program brings togetherrunners for coached training in a groupsetting. Want to try it out?

INSIDE STUFFINSIDE STUFFINSIDE STUFFINSIDE STUFFINSIDE STUFFMichael deLisle, FOOTNOTES Editor

I had a wonderful time at the recentKTC Hall of fame Induction Banquetat Club Leconte. It was great to see

the well-deserved honors bestowed oneight wonderful KTCers, each of whomin their own way had earned thelaurels heaped upon them thatnight. And it made me thinkback with pride twentymonths ago to my owninduction into that sameaugust group.

Much like a good friendof mine who ascended thepodium the other night, I feltrather unworthy to be held in suchhigh esteem in the company of suchoutstanding athletes. Though I did runhard for about seventeen years (and ranwell for maybe 2-3 of them), my meageraccomplishments paled when comparedwith men and women from the Class of2014 who between them had won hun-dreds, of road races, who had competedand earned All-American status in NCAAchampionship events, had won medals inmultiple AAU championships, even com-peted in the Olympic Games! And I’ddone what? Won masters at a dozen ortwo road races? A couple of second placeoverall at small races? Good thing theyaward these things for volunteerism, too.

But I also started thinking about whata long, strange trip it’d been, given that inmy twenties and thirties I did no runningat all, except around the basepaths of localsoftball diamonds or maybe chasing afterwomen at the clubs and bars at which Iplayed my guitars. I played competitivesoftball once or twice a week in thesummer; that was the extent of myathleticism for about twenty years. Witha lifestyle like that, I was probably des-tined to balloon up like the typical uglyAmerican, topping the scales at 175-180with a big old beer gut slopping out overmy belt, and a shortened lifespan due to

PRESENTING THE KNOXVILLE TRACK CLUB HALL OF FAME CLASS OF 2016

heart disease, stroke, or what have you.

No, I was lucky. Caught a break.Two of the guys on my softball team didalittle bit of running and jumped into an

occasional local race. One nightover post softball beers and

pizza, they somehow ca-joled me into signing upfor the 1990 Expo10,000. Truth be told, Iwas tired of being a slug-gard. Though I workedhard during the day as a

landscaper, I missed thesatisfaction of being in shape,

something that by then wastwenty years in my distant past. I rancross country in high school, was decentbut only occasionally a top five guy, andI missed running. When they suggestedI run Expo, I jumped at the chance. AndI’ll always be grateful to those two friends.

They did me a favor the scale of whichwas unimagineable at the time.

Who’d have ever thought that, notonly would I earn a shelf full of littleplastic men and wooden plaques, but I’dgo on to spend pretty much my entiremiddle age — and more — working as avolunteer and later a paid staff member ofthe best running club in the Southeast,and even earn a substantial portion of myincome through my various endeavorsfor the KTC?

And I found myself wondering as theClass of 2016 Induction Banquet mademe laugh — and even tear up a time ortwo — what were the various backstories of these inductees? Some, maybemost, had always been athletes; youdon’t become an Olympian or AAUChamp on a whim over beers and pizza.But did a few of the other 37 Hall of Famemembers have a story like mine, onlywith a different cast of characters? Whohad inspired them to fundamentallychange their lifestyle, become the bestthey could be and to associate themselveswith the best group of friends and ath-letes anyone could immerse themselves?If that happened to any of them, theywere as lucky as I was, and I’m surethey’re as proud as I am to be a part of theKnoxville Track Club Hall of Fame.

Scott Schmidt, RunKNOX director

The temperatures are dropping andthose bright summer days arequickly transitioning to winter

darkness. It’s difficult to find the motiva-tion to crawl out of a warm bed for anearly morning workout, or to force your-self to grab a flashlight and go for anevening run after a long work day. Thebest way to maintain a consistent trainingprogram through the winter is throughthe accountability of your peers. Peerpressure works both ways. It can getyou into a lot of trouble, or be an incred-ibly positive force in helping you reachyour goals.

The power of RunKNOX is in its

people. Every workout is significantlybetter with a partner. So, you need to dotrack repeats on a dark, rainy, 36 degreeTuesday night? Sounds miserable andyou’re thinking about skipping to eat abowl of chili while watching “The Voice”?Not so fast my friend. You’ve got 20other crazy buddies who’ve got yourback. Yes, it’s still pretty miserable in themoment, but there is something specialabout shared suffering that makes us allbetter. Plus, that bowl of chili tastessignificantly better post workout whilewatching “The Voice” on DVR as youskip the commercials. Win-Win-Win!

Spring goals are achieved in the heartof the winter, so ifyou intend to runyour FIRST orFASTEST race in2017, you shouldstart training now.Now is the perfecttime to test theRunKNOX waterstoo.

The “Magic Bullet”of Nutrition

m,x m,x m,x m,x m,x continued on page 14 ,cx,cx,cx,cx,cx

If you keep up with nutrition and weight loss trends, you likely know

anything that sounds too good to be trueprobably is… Unfortunately, there is no“magic bullet” in the nutrition world…there is no special cream that melts awayfat, nor any one pill or supplement thatcan make us instantly look and feel likesupermodels or professional athletes.However optimistically, if there was acertain food component that could pro-vide special powers…it wouldbe…dietary fiber.

The average American consumes onlyabout 14 grams of fiber per day—farbelow the 25 to 38 grams recommendeddaily for healthy adults. Why is intake solow? Because we eat too much low-fiberrefined white breads, white pasta, whiterice, white tortillas…and not enough high-fiber vegetables, whole grains, and fruits.

Dietary fiber is a type of carbohydratethat the body cannot digest. Thoughmost carbohydrates are broken downinto sugar molecules, fiber cannot bebroken down in the same manner, andinstead passes through the body undi-gested. Fiber actually helps regulate thebody’s use of sugars, helping to keephunger and blood sugar in check. Al-though adequate dietary fiber is crucialfor colon health and preventing constipa-tion, research reveals even more compel-ling reasons to increase dietary fiber: theprevention of cardiovascular disease, type2 diabetes, obesity, a number of can-cers… blood glucose regulation, weightmanagement, blood cholesterol reduc-tion… and the list goes on! Sounds toogood to be true, doesn’t it? It is not!

Types of Dietary Fiberand Benefits

The human gastrointestinal tract lacksthe enzymes to digest dietary fiber, whichis found in the structural components ofplant cells. There are two distinct types offiber which are found in these plantfoods—some fibers are soluble in water,while others are not. It is the solublefibers that have been found to offer healthbenefits related to cardiovascular diseaseand diabetes prevention. Increasing fiberintake can both help to lower your bloodcholesterol, as well as help curb spikingblood sugars. In one reviewof studies from the UnitedStates and Europe,Mark Pereira, an epi-demiologist at the Uni-versity of Minnesota,cited that “every timeyou add 10 grams of fiber,there is a 14% reduction for all risks [ofcoronary heart disease] and a 27% re-duction in risks for coronary heart dis-ease mortality.”

Insoluble fibers help keep you “regu-lar” and alleviate constipation by addingbulk, but also decrease intestinal transittime—which may reduce the risk ofcertain cancers. This type of fiber—found in higher amounts in whole grainsand vegetables—appears to be most im-portant in reducing the risk of rectalcancer.

Both soluble and insoluble fibers infoods reduce a meal’s glycemic load—orhow quickly the carbohydrates you con-sume affect your blood sugar and insulinlevels. This is beneficial if you havediabetes (or are at risk), but also helpfulfor all individuals to maintain a steadier

energy level throughout the day.

Why is fiber good for weightloss? For starters, it promotes afeeling of fullness and allows youto eat less while feeling satisfied.When a group of study partici-

pants were told to eat 30 grams of fiberdaily, but were given no other dietarychanges, they lost a significant amount ofweight, according to a study in the An-nals of Internal Medicine. Another studypublished in the Journal of Nutritionfound that boosting fiber by just 8 gramsfor every 1,000 calories resulted in about4½ pounds of weight lost in 2 years.Whatever the increase, any sound weightloss program includes sufficient fiber forthese reasons.

How to Get More Fiber

One of the most compelling argu-ments to increase fiber in your dailydiet—in addition to the aforementionedbenefits—is that foods that are naturallyhigh in dietary fiber are generally foodsthat are proven to be “healthy” and desir-able in any nutritious meal plan—veg-

etables, whole grains, andfruits. Most foods high

in fiber contain boththe soluble and in-soluble types and areoften rich in other mi-

cronutrients as well!

Good sources of soluble fiber includefoods such as apples, bananas, citrusfruits, carrots, barley, oats, and kidneybeans. Foods with higher amounts ofinsoluble fibers are whole grains, bran,and vegetables.

A minimum to look for on the Nutri-tion Facts Label as you increase yourintake is at least 3 to 5 grams or more offiber per serving for cereals, breads,etc.—more is generally better. It alsomay help to keep a bowl filled with freshfruit and veggies on the countertop, veg-etables and hummus or other dips frontand center in your refrigerator, and nutsreadily available for snacking.

Thoughts on RacingAn Ironman

TRI-BAL KNOWLEDGE

by Larry Brede

On September 25th I was fortunateenough to have the opportunityto race Ironman Chattanooga.

The course includes a 2.4mile downstream swimin the Tennessee River,116 mile bicycle coursedown into Georgia andback, and a 26.2 mile runin Chattanooga itself.With its close proximityto Knoxville there was ahuge group of local ath-letes (most KTC mem-bers) who joined me partici-pating on the course, includingJack McAfee, Doug Ross, JohnPemberton, Karen McNeany, AmandaLetheren, Steve Barto, Tracy Ellis, JoanneLangton, John Snelling, Kevin Mahan,Eleanore Womac, and I’m sure others Imissed.

As everyone living in East Tennesseeknows, we’ve had a very hot summer.The weather hadn’t broken by race day,so it was no different. This was my sixthrace at this distance, and I’ve found thatI personally don’t likebeing around raceExpo. Too much ner-vous energy andpeople jacked up in thedays leading up to theevent. I chose to stayhome and drive to therace, which meantmandatory trips toChattanooga on Fri-day for registration,Saturday for bike andgear drops, and Sun-day for the race itself.That was fine as Iwas able to really sleepin Saturday morning,go to church Saturday night (we allneeded blessings for the next day!), and

leave Sunday at 3:00 a.m. after thesleepless night I knew I’d have nomatter where I stayed.

Pre-race morning wasgreat as my wife and Idrove down to Chatta-nooga. Sarah dropped meoff at thetransitionarea andh e a d e dacross the

river whereshe got in her

kayak to volunteeras a water safety. I

caught the bus to the racestart and got in line prettyclose to the start. The startis off a dock in the river, socompetitors are lined upalong the Riverwalk. We started seeing alot of our Knoxville friends who camedown to support the race as early as theswim lineup.

The race started just prior to 7:30, andI think I was in thewater within five min-utes. It’s a point-to-point downstreamswim, which means itssuper-fast. I got out ofthe water, transitioned,and was on the bikecourse in under an hour.Here’s where I reallystarted seeing localKnoxville friends allover the course, andcontinuing through therun. I know this isn’t acomplete list, but thecrew out there includedBlaik Ogle, Sofie Bell,

Sarah Lamont, Nick Morgan, JenniferPowell, Chris and Lana Burl, David and

Melanie King, Derek and Amanda Tingle,Jeanne Williams, William and Alex Norris,Charlotte Mahan, Todd Caldwell, DannySturdevan, Lizzy Miller, Jenn Gerard,and Lloyd Jones. More importantly, mydaughters Alex and Maci joined Sarahand were out there as well. There isnothing better for motivation than havingfriends and family on the course cheering!

The bike was where I started feelingthe heat. Quite a few open areas with thesun beating down, and though I wasdrinking a lot of Gatorade and water I didcramp a little bit for the last 25 miles.That’s not a killer on a bike as you cantypically spin through it. A number ofcompetitors did have to pull out duringthat portion of the race, but most wereable to manage their pace and get to the

bike-to-run transition. Therun was HOT! Tempera-tures in the mid-90s, andquite a bit of exposed as-phalt so it just beat downon you. There are aid sta-tions every mile, and thevolunteers were just won-derful. I was able to keephydrating throughout therun, and with a slower pacefelt okay through 15 miles.Unfortunately, the heat gotto me there and I had to

take a major break at an aid station. I laidin the shade in the grass and after a 15-minute stop was able to get up and keepmoving. I spent the last 11 miles run/walking, but got to the end successfully.Unfortunately, over 20% of the athleteswho started the race ended up as DNFdue to the heat.

In the end, it’s always great to have arace this distance under your belt. I’dtrained the entire season for it, and hadanticipated it being my last one. How-ever, as I sit here a few days later I’mthinking that I might give the distanceanother shot. Just not next year!

One final recommendation when in-creasing your dietary fiber intake is toequally increase your water intake aswell. When more fiber is introduced intoyour intestines, the fiber absorbs waterfrom your gut. If this happens in theabsence of adequate water, your diges-tive system will get stopped up—result-ing in constipation—the opposite effectof what should occur with a higher fiberintake. The solution is to be sure toconsume plenty of water as you gradu-ally increase your fiber to a desirable load.

So get to it! Take advantage of nature’snutritional “magic bullet”: more dietaryfiber (and water) today!

It’s an exciting time to be a trail runnerin the Knoxville area. Seems likealmost every issue of Footnotes there’s

an announcement of new trails opening.Last issue, guest Sarah Zimmerman wroteso glowingly about the new trails atBaker Creek Preserve that it inspired meto tighten up my knee brace, grab mytrekking poles, and hit the trails with sonJesse on a warm October afternoon (seemsthere’s been no shortage of those lately.)

And it waa a delightful hike, manage-ably short for a confirmed limper likemyself, and gratifyingly long enough tofeel like I’d accomplished somethingworthwhile. Brilliant red leaves glowedtrailside from sourwoods, dogwoods,and sumacs, the ground underfoot softand supple. The trail itself was groomedlike none I’d seen before, very few of therocks and roots that lurk almost every-where else in East Tennesse waiting totrip up the unsuspecting runner.

Thus we’re going to reroute February’sDirty Double trail marathon to include asmany of these roller coaster trails as wecan. AMBC Prez Matt Kellogg hasindicated that they could probably evenclose off a couple of the bike-only routesfor the morning so that trail runners couldget a taste of those crazed downhills. Ifyou love trails and can handle 26.2, don’tmiss this year’s Dirty Double. The DSHalf will be grand, but the DD will beeven better.

Other highlights of the 2017 TTTsked (the whole slate appears elsewhereon this page) include a new distance foran old favorite. Shamelessly tapping intothe unquenchable thirst people seem tohave for 5k races, we’re shortening themuch-loved Wanderers Trail Race from

four miles to 5k, which allows us toeliminate that short stretch of asphalt.It’s always the biggest turnout of theyear, so mark your calendar for Sunday,January 15, and come run with us.

2017 TRAIL RACES2017 TRAIL RACES

We’ll offer Kids Trail Miles at eight ofthe twelve races again this year. Turn-outs have been growing and we’ll becombining a few of our races with therevamped KTC Youth Runs program, sowatch for details on that.

Baker Creek will also be hijacking partof our old Hastie race. The exact routeand distance has yet to be determined,but plan on spending some time circlingaround those fun new trails.

I could go on and on (and generallydo), but space limitations require that Iclose. Watch the trailracing.html pageon the website for lots more informationas the 2017 trail racing season ap-proaches. It’s gonna be a doozy!

I had a bad time trial. Maybe it was an off day. Maybe I’m notin as good a shape as I thought I’d be. Maybe that time goal I’vebeen working for is at least another race off.

What happens when your goals need to change? I’ve been tryingto break two hours in a half marathon for two years now. I don’tknow why I’m fixated on it. I PR’d the last half marathon I ran, butI was disappointed. Somehow, being 2 and a half minutespast my arbitrary goal lessened the achievement of shavingsome time off my best race. Does that mean I need toreevaluate my goal? When does striving for something,interfere with your enjoyment of the sport?

I’ve gotten to meet some very good runners bybeing involved with KTC. Exceptional, in fact. And Iget to meet folks with similar abilities to mine, us mid to back of thepackers. I think we all must struggle with this question in some way.

When do you say it’s time to change your goal? I think moststart with a timeframe. Well, let me just try and this nextrace. Let me just try this spring. Maybe if I drop fivepounds. Maybe if I only drink a beer on Fridays.

I think goals are important to keep us motivated: some-thing to strive for, to better ourselves. How do you enjoy

the journey when you’ve got your eyes focusedelsewhere? Maybe our goals should be in tiers.I’m going to tell you my plan and feel free tofollow along, or use these to come up with yourown tiered goals.

♦ Goal 1. Go for a run.

♦ Goal 2: Enjoy that run. Appreciate it. Make sure younotice and understand how your body is working hard for you.

♦ Goal 3. Prevent getting injured. Start being a betterlistener. Your body tells you things. Don’t let goals 8-10 getin the way with goal 3.

♦ Goal 4. Run consistently. Maybe not everyday, butget your miles in.

♦ Goal 5. Listen to your coach/running plan.

♦ Goal 6. Evaluate if something is an excuse or a reason.Reason is cause and effect. Why did something happen?Excuses are for when you want to point a finger at someoneother than yourself.

♦ Goal 7. Run Strong. Run Happy. Run with friends.Run with high-fives and thumbs ups.

♦ Goal 8. PR. Shave a second off. Half a second.

♦ Goal 9. Break 2 hours.

Maybe we should all be proud of the goals we do reach,rather than judging ourselves for the ones we don’t.

Mountains and Beachby Bob Godwin

Fifty-five years ago, my hiking buddyand I waked carefully to Cliff Topatop Mount LeConte to watch the

sun set beyond the majestic spread of theSmoky Mountains. As we approachedthe Cliff in the gathering dusk, we heardquiet voices. They proved to be twoelderly men there for the same purpose aswe. Friendly and open, happy to sharethe moment, we talked some, but mostlyenjoyed the moment.

We had hiked up the five mile AlumCave Trail. As hikers will do, we inquiredwhich of the four trails they had used ontheir ascent of Mount LeConte.

Soft laughter met our question. “Notrail; we bushwhacked up Bear PenHollow.” My friend and I were awe-struck at their courage and strength,especially when they described the dif-ficulty of getting through an extensive“laurel hell”.

“Are you going to watch the sunrise at Myrtle Point in the morn-ing?” I finally asked.

“No, son. We’re going towatch the dawn come.”

Two lessons learned in afew moments from gentlemenwho were roaming the mountains beforethey became a national park!

I recalled that experience as I steppedinto the darkness on my fourth storybalcony in Treasure Island, Florida(Clearwater/St. Pete area) early on theSunday after UT beat Georgia in a magicmoment tagged, “The Miracle Betweenthe Hedges.”

The blackness of the sky was underlaidby bright motel signs and streetlights be-low. The sky cradled a few stars and the

winking lights of a distant airplane. Thedark over the Gulf was periodically piercedby a rotating beacon light. One tall palm treewas silhouetted near the beach.

I sipped my coffee, contentwith the quiet and solitude of aday not yet born.

The street below was emptysave for a rare car or a servicevan.

At last, I realized I coulddiscern striations overhead,gradually revealing themselves as wispybands of distant clouds. During the sametime, I spied an occasional single head-light and blinking red taillight as a silent,almost ghostly, bicycle passed below.The first one was dressedfor work at a convenienceshop or a fast food place, I

guessed. Thencame the hel-

meted, bike-cladriders enjoyingthe scant traf-fic and qui-etude of thedawn.

With thei n c r e a s i n g

eastern glow came in-creasing numbers of bi-cyclists, some silent,some with happy chatter.Vicariously, I shared theirpleasure at the comingday.

The eastern sky becameorange, brighter, and atlast, a crescent of sun ap-peared above the horizon.A new day had arrived,just as it had fifty-five years

ago in such a different setting, but just asso long ago, following the dawn.

I envied the bicyclists, but rejoicedin the newness of life that every newdawn and sunrise bring.

P.S. There are a lot of old people(my contemporaries) in Florida, bothin the communities and the beach ar-eas. Many bike to the store and onother errands. Most streets have lanesand signage for bicyclists. Speed limits,often accompanied by speed breaksand “speed tables” are typically sedate.

Weekends and off-work hoursbring out the pleasure riders,most with head and taillightson at all times and alwayswith helmets. Most bike rent-als include a helmet and a lock.

The Pinellas Trail stretchesfrom St. Petersburg 44.3 miles

north to Tarpon Springs crossingdozens of pedestrian bridges with

sweeping views of urban landscapes. Itis paved and shared with inline skaters,walkers, and even wheelchairs users. Ithas multiple access points, mile markers,and parking areas.

evitcepsrep reetnulovvolunteer perspective

You know that feeling of relief youget when you’re so thirsty andyou finally come to a water stop?

Or the anticipation you feel when you seethe mile 13 sign approaching?Well, you can thank a volun-teer, because without vol-unteers none of this wouldbe possible.

At the beginning ofmy very novice racingcareer, I never signed upto volunteer at races. I justassumed that because I wasrunning, there was no way for meto help out. I eventually came to under-stand that both runners and non-runnersare essential to a successful race, frompacket pickup to course cleanup.

Knoxville Track Club member andv o l u n t e e r ,Amber Qualls,says her favor-ite part of vol-unteering is“getting to seeall the differ-ent aspectsthat goes intomaking a race‘run.’ There isa whole lotmore to it thanpinning on arace bib andcrossing that‘start’ and ‘fin-ish’ line. Thewater stopsand cups thatwe casuallytoss to the side, don’t just magicallyappear and disappear.”

Kathleen Komar, KTC member andvolunteer says her favorite volunteer dutyis course monitor at the kids races. She

exclaims, “if you want a non-stressful,fun volunteer experience then give this atry. Nothing is more fulfilling than tospend the morning cheering and giving

high-fives to a bunch of littlerunners!”

My personal favoriteis course cleanup. I rec-ommend that every run-ner do this at least once,as it allows a behind thescenes glimpse into all that

goes into setting up therace course. Until helping

with course cleanup, I didn’t fullyappreciate the mile markers andwaterstops. Now, when I pass mile oneor mile 13, I’m reminded that someoneput out those mile markers and will alsohave to go back and pick them up. Andnow, sometimes that someone is me!

And didyou knowthat volun-teering canalso be a fam-ily affair? Mynine year oldd a u g h t e rloves to vol-unteer at wa-ter stops andat the finishline handingout water andwet towels.

So, wehope to seeyou and yourfamily at the

next race! Just go to KTC’s website oruse the KTC app to register for thevolunteer duty of your choice. And, as ifvolunteering isn’t rewarding enough, KTCoffers a volunteer discount code for fu-ture races! Run Happy!

RUNNING ON THE PEACEFULSIDE OF THE SMOKIES

The 40th annual running of theTownsend 15k (or as some of usstill call it, “Wears Valley”) took

place once again on a gorgeousSunday in September. Whilethe typically cool morning airwas a bit hot and sticky thisyear, runners still made itout and ran some strongtimes on this wonderful,scenic course at the foot ofthe Great Smoky Mountains.

Ninety-six runners completed the 9.3mile race this year. Our overall winner,finishing in 54 minutes and 41 seconds,was Alan Horton. A few minutes behindhim, finishing in 56 minutes and 50seconds was Aaron Hill. Third placeoverall then went to Victor Llorens, fromBorriol, NY, who finished with a time of1:01:37.

Overall female honors went to SarahEldridge. She completed the course in atime of 1:05:23. Not far behind her wasAndee Swann (1:05:59) followed by StacyClower (1:07:26).

The male masters division winner thisyear was Paul Horton (1:02:08). Jasmin

sion winner. Brent Bueche(1:04:17) was the winner inthe male grandmasters divi-sion and Jennifer Singh(1:14:30) top female grand-

Goods, Tennessee Sports Medicine,and New Balance Knoxville who allhelped makethis year’s racep o s s i b l ethrough theirfinancial sup-port. We alsoappreciate thesupport ofDogwood Re-alty who al-lowed us useof their facili-ties at TrilliumCove.

Volunteersare also a key

to all events related to the KTC. Wegreatly appreciate all the help that we hadthis year from so many different individu-als and groups. I can not thank themenough for their efforts. The followingpeople willingly gave of their time andtalents to make the race a success; DaveFlynn, James Owen, Jennifer Moore,Kim Emert, Kennedy Russell, Eddie Hoss,Bobby Holcombe, Hannah Foust, JeffLindsey, Ryan Funkhouser, Stacy Clower,Ken & Shirley Sirois, Robin Miller, Stephen& Marguerite Long and family, BobbyLiles, Kathy Nash, and Michael deLisle.Two volunteer groups stepped in andtook advantage of our volunteerfundraising program. We had a groupfrom Bethel Baptist Church, led by KelceyGodfrey. These individuals assisted withparking and with food preparations. Ourother group was the Alcoa High SchoolCross Country team. Team members,parents, and other Alcoa High Schoolstaff helped at the water stops and on thecourse. A final “thank you” goes to ourKTC event director David Black for all hishelp, and especially for managing ourtiming and results for the race.

As usual, good times were hadby all at Big South Fork. Ispent most of this hot sum-

mer worryingabout bees be-cause in my expe-rience the yellowjackets are worseafter hot dry weather. As with mostthings you worry about, it didn’thappen and for only the 2nd time Ican remember we didn’t have anyreports of bee stings. More than afew falls and quite a bit of bloodand mud but at least no bees!

The trails were in great shapeand we had a beautiful day forracing. A little hot with tempera-tures reaching into the 80s byearly afternoon but overall an in-credible day in the woods.

Things were hot out on the racecourse as well as Bobby Adams(1:53:52) and Alondra Moody(2:20:07) cruised to fast and com-fortable victories in the long race.Aaron Hill and Jeff Broome fol-lowed in the long race while AliciaTeubert and Bethany Pratt filled outthe podium posi-tions for the men.David Giles tookthe men’s masterstitle while JenniferSingh took thewomen’s masterstitle.

We were happy to havevolunteers from METERSwho set up a radio networkgiving us good communica-tion out on the course whichwe don’t always have.

One of the greatest things aboutthis race for me is the tremendousgroup of enthusiastic volunteerswho help most every year.

While driving to theLakeshore Trail Trek onSunday, October 16th,

I looked to the right and I sawa big bright Harvest Moonsettling toward the hori-zon. To the left was theglow of a beautiful sun-rise. I knew right thenthat it was going to be awonderful day for the2016 Lakeshore TrailTrek race.

Runners started trickling inas Muna and her folks set up the chiptiming equipment. Ev-eryone seemed relaxedand at ease as race timedrew near.

In his prerace an-nouncements, Tony Owens instructedall runners to carry some form of hydra-tion device because the water stops wouldnot provide cups, an innovation theTreadin’ Trodden Trails crew is initiatingto reduce our environmental impact. Healso encouraged fast runners to go to thefront and slower runners to line upfurther back. This year’s coursehad a very short start beforequickly shooting into thewoods for some steepsingletrack action. Both the 6mile and 16 mile course ran outand back, with both races turningaround at a water stop.

In less than an hour, the 6 mile runnersbegan streaming back to the start. Firstplace finisher Morgan Roche darted outof the woods with Connor Owens hot onher tail. Morgan clocked a time of 51:23and Connor was just eight seconds be-hind her. Over the next hour, the rest of

the 6 mile runners returned, all appearinghappy to be finished.

The morning and the com-petition continued to heat

up as the 16 mile finish-ers began crossing thefinish line. In anotherclose finish, NathanHelton (2:20:06)edged out Alondra

Moody (2:20:22) andthe top seven finishing within

five minutes of the winner. Run-ners continued streaming in with

smiles on their faces. Although the tem-peratures were quicklyclimbing, the shadedtrails kept it cool forthe runners.

Meanwhile, ChefTony was busy cooking some tasty bratsand Italian sausages for the finishers andthe volunteers. This made for a veryenjoyable and relaxing atmosphere asrunners ate and socialized in the warmOctober sunshine.

A huge thank you to all who helpedwith this year’s Lakeshore Trail Trek.

Big thanks to Kirby Russell forchecking the course on Saturday,

and to Doug and Rebecca Holderfor working a water stop, to

Jacob Little and his familyfor working a water stop,

and to Andrea Ludwig for moni-toring and sweeping the course.

We’re already looking forward to nextyear’s race, which will be run on thenorth end of this magnificant trail system,highlighted by a beautiful overlook. We’refortunate to have such beautiful and se-cluded trails so close by.

RUN, FARRAGUT, RUN!


The third annual running of the KTC’sFarragut 13.1, 5k and Kids Milesponsored by Tennessee

Sports Medicine Group tookplace under bright and sunnyskies Saturday, October 29th

starting and finishing atFarragut High School. Onceagain nearly 1,200 runnerscame out to take on the chal-lenging course and enjoy thebeautiful fall leaves, the rolling hills,and lakeside scenic views that make theFarragut 13.1 course so spectacular.

This year’s courses saw a few changesas the 13.1 and 5k runners started theirtrek through Farragut’s largest and one ofthe oldest neighborhoods, VillageGreen. The runners split off in theneighborhood as the 5k partici-pants continued through thehilly neighborhood and headedtoward the finish with a niceflat speedy sprint downCampbell Station Road. Justa few miles into the race the13.1 runners left VillageGreen and spent a few milesheading west on one of Knoxville’s bestknown thoroughfares, Kingston Pike.After passing the first aid station, withenthusiastic volunteers from Anytime

Fitness and the Farragut High SchoolCross Country team, these runners headed

through a long stretch of beautifulhorse farms surrounded by the
