CAMPAIGN PROMISES

Knoxville Track Club * FOOTNOTES * July / August 2016 editionKnoxville Track Club * FOOTNOTES * July / August 2016 edition

RUN THREE; WORK ONERUN THREE; WORK ONE

The U.S. Presidential Election sea-son is well upon us. It seems likethe primary campaigns went on

forever, and we’re still staring downmonths before November relieves us ofthe non-stop drive to “earn your vote.”Our nominees made quite a few outra-geous promises to their national constitu-encies, with no repercussions if theydon’t meet them. However, I’d like tostake the claim as the KTC President thatour club has already met many of theircommitments. Here are just a few:

♦ Donald Trump – There willbe a big wall, and we won’tspend a dollar on it!

KTC’s success:KTC’s success:KTC’s success:KTC’s success:KTC’s success:Noelton Hill, at about mile7.5 on the CHKM course. Ofcourse, while there aren’t anydollars involved, you do end uppaying for it…

♦ Hillary Clinton – Social Securitywill continue to expand!

KTC’s success: KTC’s success: KTC’s success: KTC’s success: KTC’s success: We’re in great so-cial hands with Lauren Chiles, our SocialDirector. Between Monday night runs,Wednesday night runs, Cades Covesocial runs, and every other eventshe has planned, your social lifeis secure with Lauren in office.

♦ Bernie Sanders – Freeschooling for everyone!

KTC’s success: KTC’s success: KTC’s success: KTC’s success: KTC’s success: It’scalled racing with Ethan Coffey,Gina Rouse, or any of the other

speedsters around town. They’llschool you every time.

♦ Ted Cruz – Abolish theIRS by 2019!

KTC’s success:KTC’s success:KTC’s success:KTC’s success:KTC’s success: Weabolished the IRS (Irate post-

race Response Surveys) in 2015.After years of soliciting feedback

about races with only one consistentmessage: “The shirts stink”, we decidedthere wasn’t any further need for them.

♦ Marco Rubio – Rebuild America’sIntelligence!

KTC’s success: KTC’s success: KTC’s success: KTC’s success: KTC’s success: We onlyhave intelligent club mem-

bers! All the stupidpeople live in SouthCarolina (someone,please make sure myfather sees this one).

♦ Many, many,candidates (notably

George H.W. Bush) –No New Taxes!

KTC’s success: KTC’s success: KTC’s success: KTC’s success: KTC’s success: Access to the clubis super easy via the website, Facebook,Twitter, and Instagram. It couldn’t beany less taxing than that.

As a running club, someone from theKTC should be “running” for office onthis platform of success (stupid pun, butit was too easy). Remember, join theKTC and all your dreams will come true.I guarantee it!

KTC’S MOTTOKTC’S MOTTO


Notes From Your Executive Director

Kristy Altman, KTC Executive Director

PUTTING THE PIECESTOGETHER

I went to a conference years ago andone of the gifts given to us was a t-shirt that made reference to

how Race Directors are alwaysherding cats. I thought itwas very funny and verytrue and I still wear thatshirt.

There are always a lotof moving pieces and partsto what I do in my job. Ilove that aspect and I would beso bored with a job in which I did thesame things all day long. From planning tooperations to marketing to fundraising tovolunteer recruiting and placement, whatyou see me doing at an event or KTCfunction just barely scratches the surface ofmy every day.

Luckily that as KTC has grown, we’vebeen able to hire staff and contractors tohelp carry the load and run the programsand events. But as the load increases andwe bring in more staff and more keyvolunteers, there are more moving piecesand parts for each puzzle.

Most KTC Members have their pre-ferred programs. Some folks love roadracing and would never run on a trail whilesome trail folks would never step foot on aroad. Some members just like the socialside and never race at all but enjoy weeklyfun runs and dinner with friends whileothers participate in RunKNOX and run onboth road and trails. I’m always surprisedat the amount of people who disappearfrom mid-April through November andthen come back for the CHKM trainingruns and CHKM weekend.

I love this organization because we haveso many things to offer and we’re alwayslooking at expanding and growing. Prepa-ration for the various events and programsis different for each one. No two road races

are the same and planning for trail events ismuch different than what we do for road

races. As you can imagine, plan-ning for the youth program is

very different fromRunKNOX.

So I laugh as I writethis article because we’rein race week for Fireballand although I spent over

an hour working on partici-pant instructions and final plans

for the event, I’m now shiftinggears to write this article, complete a grantreview for money we received last year forour youth program, invoicing several spon-sors, buying banners for sponsors, dis-cussing training shirts for the CHKM withJason, making notesabout various potentialsponsors I need to callthis week, and workingon the 2017 schedule.

The pieces and partsare always moving. Weplan a year in advancefor our events and evenprograms. There is pa-perwork for the city toprepare, there is insur-ance to request, thereare venues to secure, andso much more. At anytime, I could be workingin 2016 or 2017. And, atany time, I may have todrop everything I’m do-ing to work on some-thing else that is sud-denly high priority.

The best part is whenall of the pieces fit to-gether on race day. It’samazing to see the flowof an event from start to

finish and it doesn’t matter if it is a largeevent or a small event, it’s still very cool tosee everything fall into place. Very fewpeople have the opportunity to see thingsfrom my perspective but I’ll tell you that it’samazing and that KTC is blessed to have somany valuable assets. The people who getin there and do the work are awesome.There’s just no other way to put it. It’s mypleasure to do the behind-the-scenes workneeded to keep all the pieces and parts readyand I’m so thankful to everyone who helpsput them into place!

So this is the first issue of Footnotesthat will be distributed solely elec-tronically. Thus far I can’t tell the

difference. I’d be interested in any feed-back or suggestions; if you have any, letme know at [email protected].

Wandering around last night throughthe sweaty throng at Fireball, I wasstruck again and again at the transientnature of our sport. I wondered whatpercentage of the participants were thereat Fireball for the first time. Certainlyeach year I recognize fewer faces. It’sbeen a long time since I raced at all, andlonger still since I ran Fireball.

Yet I’ll never forget a day (yes, Fireballwas a day race, on the Fourth of Julyitself, for more than twenty years) longago when, during my halcyon few years

of running well, I was in a duel with ayoungster barely in his teens. With lessthan a quarter mile to go, I was closing onthe kid but tiring, unsure I had enough tocatch him.

Then from the near the finish line Iheard a voice call out, “Come on, son!Don’t let that OLD guy beat you!”

BAM! That insult provided me withall the energy I needed to outkick theyoungster, beating him by a full 25 yards.Don’t call me an old man!!

Saw Greg Johnson last night. Stillputting one foot in front of another. Stillwinning his age group while deflectingcompliments on his performance. Didyou know that, aside from July 3 beinghis birthday, that for several years Greg

was race director for Fireball? Did abangup job at it, too.

Tom Parker was therelast night, too.Covered 3.1 miles at just over nine minutepace to win the 80+ age group. Beat over600 runners, finishing in the top third.Pretty amazing. Eighty years old. Hewas in that 1993 race where I outkickedthe kid, too. So was Greg. So was lastnight’s RD, Bo Saulsbury, and a a lot ofother folks, some of who were there lastnight, most of whom weren’t.

Kristy gave me an idea recently aboutrunning occasional “Did You Know?”blurbs here in Footnotes. We boththought it would be fun to point outinteresting factoids about people andevents that highlight what’s madeourclub a stimulating and rewarding groupof people and places over the past fiftyyears. My history with the club onlygoes back about half that far, and eventhough I have a pretty good memory, Iknow little of what transpired before 1990.

So I’ll pitch in a few, and I’ll expectsome from you OLD guys.... er, what?Wait! I didn’t mean OLD. Really, Ididn’t. Not me.

The Covenant Health KnoxvilleMarathon has been a success dueto the unbelievable support within

the community. Each year the CHKMsets aside funds for its community contri-bution program. In years’ past, we havecontributed to many worthy causes andgreat projects. Some of the projectsinclude (but are not limited to):Mile Marker Project - If you have runalong a greenway in Knoxville or KnoxCounty, surely you have seen the KTCmile markers that are positioned everyquarter mile. Funds from the CHKMhave paid for the equipment and volun-teers have placed them along thegreenway.

Drinking Water Fountain

Several years back, the City of Knox-ville added a water fountain in front ofEarthfare. Funds from the CHKM paidfor the fountain and its installation.

Celebration Bench

Also located near Earthfare, CHKMprovided a celebration bench along thegreenway for folks to rest and relax.

Greenway Gator

The City of Knoxville has a greenwayranger that patrols the greenways tomake sure they are safe and being prop-erly maintained. In 2009, KTC providedthe City’s Parks and Recreation Depart-ment with a gator golf cart to make itquicker and easier for the Parks Depart-ment employee(s) to patrol and preservethe greenways.

Legacy Parks

KTC has played an active role incontributing funds from the CHKM toLegacy Parks. Financial contributionshave helped them acquire and developtrails in the Urban Wilderness Corridorin South Knoxville.

Patricia Neal Innovative Recre-ation Cooperative (IRC)

If you have participated in the CHKMrecently, you probably have seen severalhandcycle and wheel-chair participants.Patricia Neal IRC, acommunity educationand awareness pro-gram for individualswith physical disabili-ties, helped outfit sev-eral of these partici-pants with the cycles. CHKM has annu-ally donated funding to Patricia Neal IRC.

Girls on the Run of GreaterKnoxville

The CHKM has donated funds toGOTR of Greater Knoxville to enablethem to offer scholarships to girls whowant to participate but would not be ableto financially without a scholarship.

East Tennessee Children’sHospital

The CHKM has donated to ETCH tosupport their iRun program, an afterschool program designed to introduceand encourage children from low income

areas to stay active and get involved withrunning and walking.

Keep Knoxville Beautiful

We funded a fun run where partici-pants stopped and cleaned up trash alongthe greenway during the run.

The Muse Knoxville

CHKM contributed financially to theirnew exhibit (opening this summer), spe-cifically their Eat and Play iPad station. Itshows children how many calories vari-ous kinds of exercise burn and foods thatmatch up to those calories.

Knoxville Botanical Gardens

We funded the construction (includ-ing healthy activity stations) of a crushedgravel walking path along the perimeterof the Knoxville Botanical Gardens and

Arboretum.

While we are ex-tremely proud of theseaccomplishments, wewant to hear aboutmore projects in thecommunity that poten-tially need funding. As

a result, we are excited to announce thatagain this year, we have posted a Requestfor Proposals to the marathon’s website.Applicants can apply for funding from the2016 CHKM as long as we receive theirproposal by August 1, 2016. Projectsshould represent unique ideas, methods,and approaches that will:

♦ Promote quality of life in thecommunity; or

You may be someone who travelsfor work, or perhaps you onlytravel for races. Regardless, travel

has become an increasingly common partof our day-to-day existence. As a stres-sor on your body, this can be a cause orcontributor to illness. If you’re in animportant phase of training or have acompetition upcoming, you don’t want tobe sick. In fact, I don’t think there’s evera good time to be sick.

A recently published study in the Brit-ish Journal of Sports Medicine attemptedto determine the underlying reasons whyathletes get sick. This was the latest in anumber of such experiments and surveysin the academic literature, and most ofthem tend to identify some recurringthemes and risk factors. Fortunately,when you to know what makes you getsick, you can start to take steps to avoidor mitigate those interactions. Let’s lookat a few of the common causes of illnessand discuss the steps you can take todecrease your risk of being sidelined.

Respect the fact that travel is stress-travel is stress-travel is stress-travel is stress-travel is stress-fulfulfulfulful! Sure, you may be sedentary in a caror on a plane for hours at a time, but theact of travel is still a takes a toll on yourbody. Don’t expect to get to your desti-nation and go out for a record-breakingrun. Ease into your routine.

Travel across time zones will wreakhavoc on your circadian rhythmcircadian rhythmcircadian rhythmcircadian rhythmcircadian rhythm. Theimbalance of your various hormonal fluc-tuations can set you up for a poorlyfunctioning immune system. I couldwrite an entire article on how to stayactive on the road when traveling…and Ihave. (You can read those tips on mypractice’s website.) Exercise is a criticalcomponent of your adaptation to a newtime zone, but it must be done correctlyin order to improve immune functionrather than further depress it.

SleepSleepSleepSleepSleep is essential for proper immunefunction. When we travel, we often havedisrupted sleep patterns and are possiblystressed by various work obligations(meetings, etc.). Make sleep a priority!The act of travel itself is often sufficient tocause significant immune dysfunction.Adequate sleep is your first line of de-fense. There are even a number of devicesyou can use to measure your sleep qualityand your day-to-day recovery. Two newerones that do both are the Emfit QS and theOURA Ring. You don’t need to have suchguidance when determining if you are suf-ficiently rested and recovered, but it canhelp, especially if you travel often or aretraveling for competition.

The BJSM study I reference earlierlooked at a number of variables whichmight predispose an athlete to illness.Far and away, international travel led tothe greatest risk of illness. Athletes whotraveled internationally had nearly 5x morerisk of getting sick! It’s also important topoint out that these athletes were Scandi-navian. International competitive travelfor them could be as short as a 2-3 hourflight. In the US, this risk likely appliesto any air travelair travelair travelair travelair travel. One of the best thingsyou can do to protect yourself whentraveling by air is to use a saline nasalspray. It’s simple, but it works! Yournasal tissues are your first line of immunedefense, and they often dry out on flights.Compounding the issue, you may besurrounded by travelers with coughs andcolds. Take the time to hydrate yournasal mucosa with a shot of saline everyhour or two.

The other significant factor identifiedby the BJSM study was competitioncompetitioncompetitioncompetitioncompetition.This is no surprise, as a hard race is alltoo often followed by illness. In and ofitself, this is not a modifiable risk factor.Of course, you could just back off a littleand take it easy when racing, but that’s

not why you’ve spent all this time train-ing. Instead, this is an indicator of whyit is so important to pay attention to allthose things which you can control.

Your dietdietdietdietdiet on the road is very impor-tant, as is hydrationhydrationhydrationhydrationhydration. Most people’sdiets tend to take a hit when traveling.It’s not as easy to find fresh, wholesomesources of vegetables and proteins. You’reunlikely to be cooking for yourself, andyou may even be unwrapping your meals.The tendency is to eat convenient foods andperhaps drink a bit more alcohol than youmight otherwise. To combat a poor diet onthe road, some forethought can pay hugedividends. If you plan ahead, you really caneat well and healthfully on the road.

As I’ve also mentioned previously, afocus on hydrationhydrationhydrationhydrationhydration is hugely important,whether at home or on the road. Startingyour day with a glass of water will setyou off on the right foot. Remember tocontinue to get plenty of water whentraveling as well. A long flight willcertainly dehydrate you unless you en-sure that you consume plenty of water.Avoid the temptation to partake in thewine and beer while in flight. These willonly speed the dehydration process andare subsequently likely to increase yourrisk of illness.

SupplementsSupplementsSupplementsSupplementsSupplements can help. My standardcaveat applies here: Supplements shouldbe supplementary to a complete andhealthy diet! However, on the road it canbe difficult to assemble such a diet. Thisis the perfect time to supplement yourintake. There are not a ton of supple-ments that I take with me, but a qualitymultivitamin can be very beneficial on theroad. I also travel with a powdered greenssupplement. It can be difficult to findadequate sources of vegetables on the road,so this is a great way to plug that hole.

It’s impossible to avoid all illness, butyou can put a very significant dent in yourrisk profile if you make certain changes.Follow the above tips to increase yourchances of staying healthy when traveling.

2016 TRAIL RACES2016 TRAIL RACES

A year ago I would’ve told you thattrail running opportunities in thegreater Knoxville were

fantastic, that they couldn’t bebetter. Well, here I am a yearlater to tell you that they’re fargreater than they were. In amere year.

Really, in less than that.When we went out to LoystonPoint to mark the course forthe inaugural running of our LoystonPoint Scramble in December, we werestunned to notice on the way in that awhole new trail was being built and in theprocess of being readied to open. TheAppalachian Mountain Bike Club was atit again. What was an enjoyable 6-8 miletrail system had been turned into onedouble that. A winding rolling mountainbike trail perfectly suited for trail runninghad been carved into the land south andwest of the existing trails, just waiting forfeet (and tires) to pound down on them.The new trail will allow us to turn whatwas in 2015 a six-mile trail race into a halfmarathon this December. You definitelydon’t want to miss this one.

And just when I thought that theUrban Wilderness was about as fantasticas it could ever be, lo and behold theWood Family donated a large chunk ofland, the Downtown Downhill initiativegot rolling, and next thing we know,there’s seven new miles of trails in theBaker Creek Preserve, including whathas been described as the most challeng-ing and rewarding gravity mountain biketrail most people have ever seen. OurTTT trail scouts are working feverishlyto incorporate this new system into anupcoming race or two. We may even beable to turn the Dirty Double Trail Mara-thon into a single loop affair by utilizing

the Baker Creek trails and some rumorednew etchings in the Helix System in the

southeastern corner ofKnoxville’s prized possessionthe Urban Wilderness. Whatfun that would be!

Just last week, fellowTTTer Andrea Runyan(congrats to her on a big pro-motion with tenure at UT!)attended the monthly meeting

of the AMBC and were pleased to presenta check for $2000 to Matthew Kellogg,AMBC President. This is the fourth timewe’ve been able to make a substantialdonation to them as thanks for the incred-ible skill and hard work they’ve put intodeveloping the UW and other local andregional trail venues.

Since its inception as the fledglingMayor’s Cup trail series in 2004, all

profits from our trail races have beendonated. For the first nine years, thosemonies were kept within the club andused to help fund the Youth AthleticsProgram. When that program endedtemporarily in 2013, the trail committeedecided to split the revenues betweenseveral local trail-friendly concerns. Sincethen, we’ve been please to continue doingso, and also added the youth programback in upon its rebirth, knowing thatdeveloping youth running is key to thesurvival and growth of our sport.

Along those lines, we’ve been de-lighted with the response to the series ofKids Trail Mile races that have accompa-nied most of our events for the past year.Sometimes only a few kids toe the line,sometimes a dozen or more. Our hopesare that those numbers will triple orquadruple before the year is out. Thoseof you who have kids who run or haveexpressed an interest, please sign themup for upcoming trail races. We offerkids races at the Hastie Retreat on July10, Haw Ridge on August 13, and at theLoyston Point Scramble on December10. We’d love to see more and more kidsparticipate in Treadin’ Trodden Trails.

Our only stumble this year was order-ing so dang many women’s small shirts.They turned out to be tiny! Anyoneknow of a middle school trail racing teamthat needs to be outfitted?

What to EatBefore You Run

It’s about time for your run

(or other daily exercise),and all of the sudden

you realize that you are hungry…butwhat do you eat? If you eat a “realmeal”, you will likely suffer from a“sloshy stomach”; but if you go without,you may not have enough energy tomake it through! What should you do?

Your Solution: the perfect snack.

A good choice for a snackwill prevent premature fatigueon a run and keep your bloodsugar levels more steady andeven. It will also help withyour mood and general en-ergy level throughout theday—which may help youto perform better.

One can safely eat up to about 150

calories, 15 to 30 minutes before a run,and as many as 300 calories if you havemore than an hour before activity. Evenif you are in the midst of efforts to loseweight, healthy snacks might be a ben-eficial addition to curb appetite, heightenmetabolism, and boost workouts.

A respectable general rule in lookingfor a “good” pre-exercise snack is tochoose one that is mainly carbohydratefor quick energy, a bit of protein to curbyour hunger, and some electrolytes/minerals to maintain fluid levels while

active. Fat should stay mini-mal, but a little unsaturated/healthy fat can be a benefitas well.

Here are some goodoptions:

Hummus and Veggies !

As a great protein/carb combination,hummus also provides many vitaminsand minerals. An assortment of veggiesoffer even more nutritional benefits.

Oranges & Nuts !

High in vitamin C with a little fiber tocurb your hunger, whole oranges areeasy to keep and great to have around.Paired with a few bites of nuts forprotein, this snack won’t lay heavy onyour stomach.

Dry cereal !

Plain or with milk; with fruit or evenwith yogurt… Choose a carb-basedcereal, and/or be sure to add yogurt ormilk for protein if there is little con-tained in the cereal itself. On anothernote, while cereal is usually a fantasticway to add dietary fiber to your daily

diet, be careful to choose one withouttoo much fiber right before your run!

Oatmeal with Fruit/Nuts !

Similar to dry cereal, a small servingof oatmeal provides carbs for energy,dietary fiber to fill, and with nuts a bitof protein/unsaturated fat.

Sweet Potato !

High in vitamins and energy-yield-ing carbs, sweet potatoes offer a per-fect type of carbohydrate for high-energy needs. Pair with a small proteinsource (such as nuts or string cheese)for best results before you run.

Apples and Peanut Butter !

This combo provides a great mix be-tween the natural carbs in the apple and theprotein and healthy fats in the nut butter.

Oatmeal/Peanut Butter Balls !

A simple recipe of uncooked oldfashioned oats, peanut butter, and atouch of honey rolled into small ball-shapes provide the easy ingredientsyou need: healthy carbs, protein andfats. You can also add dried fruit foreven more nutrients that won’t be tooheavy on your stomach.

Energy Bars !

There are several “clean” bars avail-able that contain whole-food ingredi-ents with the right combination of carbsand protein—providing the perfectamount of energy. What should youstay away from? ... a glorified candybar with lots of added sugars and satu-rated fats.

Shake !

A small “clean” shake with frozenfruit, protein powder and/or nut butterwill digest quickly and can be justenough to take the edge off hungerwithout discomforting your belly.

With trial and error, use the aboveoptions—or similar healthy choices—to provide your body with the optimalcalories and nutrients to stave off hun-ger and maximize your output!

I think there are a lot of cool thingsabout planning runs for people. Andso today, even though we’re going to

talk about my favorite subject, me, I’mgoing to bring it around to show howrunners are pretty amazing folks.

To start, I want you to thinkabout some of your favoriteruns you’ve done. Really,stop reading a second, andthink about it. I’ll wait.Got it? Wait, are youreally just reading or didyou stop and think aboutit? You already forgot the task I gaveyou, didn’t you? Ok, I want you to thinkabout some of your favorite runs. (pausehere to think). I bet you’ve picturedbeautiful scenery or an amazing racewhere you were both smart and at peakform. Or maybe, just maybe, it’s a runwhere you got to chat with some of yourfavorite people. I’ve gotten to see someamazing things on runs, although I’m stillwaiting for the peak form run. But someof my favorite running memories arethose with friends, most of whom I metthrough social runs. The joy in planningthese runs is knowing that this sameprogression is starting with each newrunner. A social run means that there isa gathering of some cool folks that shareyour passion for this sport. Sure yourfirst co-runner might start off as that nicegirl, that’s pretty close to my pace, to myfriend who doesn’t miss a run, to myconfidant for life’s stresses. It’s an amaz-ing process, but man, are running bud-dies nice to have. It’s like exercise andtherapy.

In addition, runners are game forchallenges. Run faster, run longer, runmultiple events over one weekend, andyeah, even run a route downtown based

on rhyming clues. Runners makeplanning fun events easy, because theyknow the value of leaving their comfortzone behind. So thank you, runners, forbeing the awesome people you are, andmaking my position with the track clubso fun. And now we’re back to my

favorite subject.

Upcoming Events

Surprisesby Bob Godwin

I am always on the outlook for infor-mation or news about biking and ampleased to see that it often appears in

our local newspaper reporting trails,events, and the like, in addition to thevery disturbing reports of auto-bicyclecollisions.

In the June 2016 issue of Carand Driver, long-time columnistJohn Phillips muses on roadsigns. His first example of aconfusing or inadequate signis “SHARE THE ROAD.”“Did you know that bicyclesare treated as vehicles in all50 states, which means theyhave the right to occupy a fulltravel lane? Me neither. That’s why thecountryside is plastered in those “SHARETHE ROAD” signs. But it turns out thatthat particular sign is harder to deconstructthan an airline omelet, and it has the sameeffectiveness as no sign at all.”

A 2015 study of motoring percep-tions based on thousands of responses,it appears that if the sign makes onlook-ers think anything at all, this is whatgets thought: motorists believe it urgesbicyclists to move the hell over to theright, and bicyclists believe it urgesdrivers to pass the way hell over in theoncoming lane.

The sign’s wording is worth consid-ering because most U.S. cities boastbicycle mortality rates about doublethose in other developed nations. Inother words, the sign does not portraywhat it is intended to represent. It turnsout a replacement sign that has excel-lent accuracy and is understood by95% of everybody is “BICYCLESBICYCLESBICYCLESBICYCLESBICYCLESMAY USE FULL LANE.”MAY USE FULL LANE.”MAY USE FULL LANE.”MAY USE FULL LANE.”MAY USE FULL LANE.”

Delaware has already dumped its old

“share” signs and the rest of the nationwill likely follow.

I was in Hartford, Connecticut thefirst part of April seeking help for myeternally damaged knee and in addition todoctor appointments, visited the Mark

Twain house. What a thrill itwas to experience this extraor-

dinarily interesting home ofthis extraordinarily interest-ing individual. Following thehour-long tour, we visitedthe gift shop which, in addi-tion to the usual souvenirs,contained almost every wordMark Twain ever wrote. Ilikewise enjoyed a 15-minute

film containing many of his observationsand comments, some of which I haveenclosed hereafter relating his first at-tempts to ride a bike set forth in TAM-ING THE BICYCLE (1886).Please recall that this was writtenwhen Penny-farthing bikes werethe vogue.

“I thought the matter over,and concluded I could do it. So,I went down and bought a bar-rel of Pond’s Extract (a popularliniment of the time) and a bi-cycle. The Expert came homewith me to instruct me. Wechose the back yard, for the sake ofprivacy, and went to work.

“He said that the dismounting wasperhaps the hardest thing to learn, and sowe would leave that to the last. But hewas in error there. He found, to hissurprise and joy, that all he needed to dowas to get me on to the machine andstand out of the way; I could get off,myself. …we all came down with acrash, he at the bottom, I next, and themachine on top.

“We applied some Pond’s Extract, andresumed. The Expert got on the otherside to shove up this time, but I dis-mounted on that side, so the result was asbefore.

“We oiled ourselves up again, andresumed. This time the Expert took up asheltered position behind, but somehowor other we landed on him again.

“. . . we resumed once more. Thistime the Expert took up the position ofshortstop and got a man to shove upbehind. We got up a handsome speed,and presently traversed a brick, and Iwent out over the top of the tiller andlanded, head down, on the instructor’sback and saw the machine fluttering inthe air between me and the sun. It waswell it came down on us, for that brokethe fall, and it was not injured.

“The Expert got out at last (from thehospital), brought four assistants withhim. It was a good idea. . . . all handsassisted at the dismount.”

Twain’s adventures include efforts ona thirty yard wide street (“I knew it wasnot wide enough.”); a boy “perched on agate-post. . . full of interest and com-ment.”; small stones on the street andsome “low stepping-stones across one

end of the street . . . They gave methe worst falls I ever got in thatstreet, except those which Igot from dogs. I did not try torun over any dog, but I ranover every dog that came along.Even when I could not hit awagon, I hit a dog that came tosee me practice. They all liked

to see me practice, and they allcame, for there was very little going on

in our neighborhood to entertain a dog. Ittook time to learn to miss a dog, but Iachieved even that.”

“Get a bicycle. You will not regret it, ifyou live.”

Rocky TopMultisport Club

TRI-BAL KNOWLEDGE

by Larry Brede

What wonderful things the KTCdoes for our East Tennesseerunning community, our sis-

ter organization, the Rocky TopMultisport Club (RTMC), does for ourlocal triathletes. TheRTMC is a USATriathlon certified club,is recognized as anIronman (WorldTriathlon Corporation)triathlon club, and is aregistered 501(c)3 non-profit organization.While about one-tenththe membership of theKTC, those members areextremely active supportingtraining, racing, and socializing.

For simple baseline duathlon andtriathlon knowledge, this group com-poses the best resource in town. Mem-bers range from beginner to some of thebest age group athletes in the country,and every single one of them is ready andwilling to help anyone else in the sport.The club offers a multitude of trainingopportunities, race updates, and cheapequipment to all its members. As anadded bonus, if you find yourself on theclub’s internal Facebook page( w w w . f a c e b o o k . c o m / g r o u p s /339611915717/), you’ll get JustinCazana’s daily recipe on a variety of foodsyou can make using Oreo cookies.

The training venues abound. Mostpeople transitioning into triathlon havethe hardest time with the swim. RTMCoffers two open water swim sessionseach week, with safety support by life-

guards on paddleboardsprotecting swimmersfrom boats and offering aspot to catch your breathif needed. One swim ison Monday nights at theCove, and the seconddowntown on Thursdaynights. There are bikingand running opportuni-ties almost every day of

the week, with groups meet-ing at various times, in locations

all across our area, and at trainingspeeds from “tortoise” to “hare.” You’ll

find the athletes in these groups so opento newcomers it’s almost shocking; trueSouthern Charm!

RTMC members are your leadinginformation source for every triathlon inthe southeast, as well as many wayoutside our region. Local athletes areracing all across the United States, fromsouth Florida to Lake Placid to northOhio to Texas to Kona, Hawaii. Oddsare, if you want to do a multisport raceyou can get race-specific tips from some-one in the club. And if you’re racinglocally? RTMC members are participat-ing in and volunteering at every one of

them. They serve as a huge cheeringsection for other club members, even inthe middle of the race. It’s a great groupto race with!

The club hosts a superb biweeklypodcast, hosted by Chris Gerard andLana Burl. They cover a huge gamut oftopics, including interviews with localtriathletes, professional triathletes, racedirectors and crews, and have even hadDr. Kevin Sprouse on answering triathlon-specific health questions. Get onwww.losttransition.com to hear the epi-sodes. They’re totally worth the time.

RTMC members have a heart forhelping others. Not only in getting betterat triathlon, but with service activities aswell. Lana heads up a huge Bike Elfprogram, rehabilitating bicycles to do-nate to kids. Those of you who run theCHKM Half or Full Marathon knowhow great the signage is in SequoyahHills. Thank RTMC member PaulaHerston and her posse of RTMC mem-bers who decorate that stretch of roadevery year so we can be entered everyfew steps. RTMC members are alsogreat volunteers; I personally experi-enced their great help at the Whitestone30k this year when they came out in forceto help man water stops and coursemonitor positions from start to finish.

The RTMC is a great way to meetfellow triathletes. As most of the RTMCmembers are also KTC members, oddsare that you know many of them already.They’re always willing to help anyoneready to give duathlon or triathlon a try,so if you’re ready to dip your toes into theopen water, give them a call! While theclub’s website is undergoing a completeoverhaul, you can contact them [email protected] or on their veryactive Facebook page.

HANN JIVIN’ AHANN JIVIN’ AHANN JIVIN’ AHANN JIVIN’ AHANN JIVIN’ AT NIGHT IST NIGHT IST NIGHT IST NIGHT IST NIGHT ISHERE TO STHERE TO STHERE TO STHERE TO STHERE TO STAAAAAYYYYY

Andrea Runyan, race director

The second running of Hann Jivin’in the Dark took place in Knoxville’sUrban Wilderness this spring. You

may recall, last year’s race was the firstnight race put on bythe KTC Treadin’Trodden Trails com-mittee, and it was agreat success. Despitecracks of thunder and bolts of lightningjust moments after last year’s start, theenthusiasm for night trail running was astangible as the rain falling from the sky.So it was clear that the night race washere to stay.

The race moved from October to Maythis year, so the start time had to bepushed back to chase the sunset andenter the darkness. Racers gathered inthe parking lot of Anderson School, mak-ing sure their headlamp batteries werecharged and comparing strategies fortaking on night racing.

A kids mile race took place before themain event, where Zoe Blanton, MaciBrede, Jesse deLisle, and Maci Scruggsgave excellent performances with the sunsetting low. Then, just before sunset, 84runners toed the start line and headed offinto the dark woods for 7 miles of smiles.The course winded down Lost Chromo-

some trail, leading runners away fromAnderson School and into the UrbanWilderness. Runners found themselveson single track trails with names such

as ACDC, MCR(Magic Carpet Ride,perhaps?), ChainRing and ChickenCoop – a true repre-

sentation of how rock-n-roll meets farmlife in the Dirty South.

A highlight of the course is a set of 7wood bridges that span over a drainage inthe middle of the course. Lanterns underthe bridges il-luminated thepath andadded a nicedistractionfrom the factthat the run-ners had torun them go-ing uphill!Other trailhighlights in-cluded an led-speckled tree, spring flower lanterns,some fireworks provided by the locals,and lightning bugs provided by naturefor free. At the finish line, the HappyHour sign was lit and a celebration

greeted fin-ishers. DavidGiles pulledout an overallwin with atime of 54:45,and first fe-male wasA l o n d r aMoody in atime of 59:29.Our other di-vision win-ners includedA n d r e w

Ledweth in Open Men and MichelleChilds in Open Female.

The racecourse was on trails on pri-vate property, owned by Brian Hann(namesake of the race) and Mary BethTugwell. The Hann-Tugwell propertythat is part of the Urban Wilderness ismade available to the public is madepossible by a unique partnership betweenthe City of Knoxville, Knox County andthe Legacy Parks Foundation. The com-plete Urban Wilderness is 1000+ acresand 40+ miles of trails and keeps growingby the second. Look for many more

races to comein this area,and please re-member thatwhen we usethese publicspaces, we areoften actuallyon privateproperty, andbe sure to re-spect that.Also help sup-

port local efforts like the Legacy ParksFoundation and join in on workdays andevents held that benefit our local parks.

Special thanks to volunteers who sac-rificed their time in the name of trailrunning love: Ryan O’Connor, KirbyRussell, Sarah Crowley, Kathy Nash,Karen McNeany, Larry Brede, KrisCorbitt, and David Winstead. A hugethanks to all trail committee memberswho helped: Tony Owens, Kathy Smith,Ken Lonseth, David Black, Pete Crowley,DK Stanford, and our fearless leader,Michael deLisle.

♦ Follow the rules of the road - travel on theright and pass on the left.

♦ Don’t run down the middle of the trail.Run to the right side to allow others to passsafely.

♦ Don’t wear headphones – but if you insiston going against this RRCA and common-sensesafety guideline, keep the volume low or onlywear one headphone.

♦ If you are running an out-and-back routeon a trail, don’t just make a sudden u-turn atyour turn around point. Stop, step to the rightto allow oncoming traffic the opportunity topass. Ensure the trail is clear of oncomingtraffic (runners, cyclists, in-line skaters, etc.)then make your u-turn. Making a sudden u-turn without looking over your shoulder is agood way to get hit by an oncoming cyclist orskater.

♦ Avoid running on trails in the evening ifthey are not well lit and do not have regulartraffic.

♦ Never run more than two abreast if you arerunning in a group. Don’t be a trail hog.

A SHARP TIMEA SHARP TIMEA SHARP TIMEA SHARP TIMEA SHARP TIMEON THE RIDGEON THE RIDGEON THE RIDGEON THE RIDGEON THE RIDGE

Stephanie Johnson, race director

While pedestrians have the right of way onmost trails, the goal is to share the trails.

♦ Alert people when you are passing them –don’t assume they are aware of theirsurroundings. A simple “on your left”warning will suffice.

♦ Be alert on blind curves.

♦ Stop at stop signs if the trail crosses aroadway. Don’t assume cars on the road willstop for the trail crossing.

♦ Be mindful of young children on the trail– their movements can be unpredictable.Slowing the pace a bit when you pass smallchildren on the trail is a wise idea. Use this asan opportunity to slow the pace then pick upthe tempo.

♦ Respect private property along the trail.

♦ Don’t litter. If you can’t find a trash can,carry your trash home.

♦ Get approval from local authorities beforeplanning a race or training event on your localmulti-use trail.

The first running of Sharps RidgeScuttle proved to be a toughvenue to figure out… many lo-

gistics, such as where to stage the race,how much road did we want to con-tend with, and whereto park a hundredcars. Once again theKTC Trail Commit-tee as a whole pulledtogether to help meas race director. Much thanks toBobby Glenn and Michael deLisle forsecuring use of the Lincoln Park Tech-nology and Trade Center onChickamauga Avenue in North Knox-ville for us to have as our start/finish,

allowing us the convenience of bath-room facilities onsite.

With this race we were trying toattract some road runners also by

trying to mix roadand trail, but thisproved tough with-out requiring roadclosures or policeinvolvement. As

race day drew closer, Bobby Trotter(who was a big help in designing thecourse) and I spent several days/nights laying the groundwork to comeup with a 6 mile race that includedalmost 1½ mile of pavement, while

avoiding any trail repeats — which, if youknow Sharp’s Ridge, became quite the chal-lenge. Finally we were able to come up witha course that proved challenging, yet funand fast.

Race Day arrived with a healthy turnoutand beautiful weather for the race. JamesMiller absolutely killed the course, running37:43 to claim first overall and first male. Firstfemale Cassidy Giles came in at 46:53. Topmale masters was Cassidy’s dad, David, whosped around the course in 43:31 (not to beoutdone, and to keep it a family affair, herbrother Elliot was second overall, running42:36.) Female masters crown was won byspeedy Alondra Moody, who clocked 47:31.

All who attended had a great time and a lotof people stayed around and socialized, whilesome took advantage of Tennessee SportsMedicine therapist, who were there to assistwith some active assisted stretching for theparticipants.

I want to thank all who helped pull me offthis race, from course planning and markingto staging and day of race duties… Thank you!See you on the trails!!

EXTREME HEATVERSION OF SOLSTICE


Extreme heat caused the new KTCweather policy to be utilized, asrace organizers decided to

shorten the distance of the 2016New Balance Summer sol-stice a 5k instead of a 7k.

That being said, thisyear’s Solstice went off with plenty ofbeer, thanks to Cherokee Distributing,plenty of Barbeque, thanks to Archers,and a great venue, thanks to our host,Oakes Farm. Great music was providedby The Aaron Tracy band under a sunnyand clear sky.

The overall winner of the 5k wasAndy Jones of Team Health Shoppe,Powered by Zen Evo Chocolate. Andy

was followed by Travis Wilson of TeamRunners Market and Aaron Wise. The

overall Female winner was Sa-rah Eldridge, followed by Cassidy

Giles and Andee Swan.

In addition to the 2016edition of the Solstice,

KTC also chose to celebrateits annual club summer pic-nic. Clearly all who at-tended the picnic had apleasant time at OakesFarm eating, drinking, en-joying the many recreationalgames and toys available, andjust hanging out in the early June heat.

For those who have not ever made it

out to Oakes farm and run this race, markit down for next year; this is one of thenicest venues on the KTC calendar.

A special thank you to all the volun-teers who helped and to all our sponsors,including: New Balance Knoxville, Chero-kee Distributing, Health Shoppe, Zen

Evo Chocolate, TenneesseeSports Medicine, AllKreatures, CovenantHealth Knoxville Mara-thon, Academy Sports,Cedar Bluff Cycles and
