Our (Knoxville Track Club) team's goal: WIN IT! To do this, the team will have to beat all the other 1,000 teams that will be competing this year. We feel that our team has the talent to accomplish this tough feat and let the nation know that Knoxville is one of the top running community’s in the nation.Each person on the 12-man team will run three times during the two-day race (Aug. 28-29), which starts on Mount Hood and finishes in Seaside, Oregon. The team will have two vans serving as a moving headquarters, transporting team members when they aren’t running and supplying us with food, water and motivation.
The team consists of speed—three former University of Tennessee track stars, and endurance—marathon and ultra marathon champions. The team is very serious about this event and expects nothing but excellence. The team is well into training, and will represent Knoxville and the surrounding community with pride.
I have been training hard the past month with weekly mileage levels in the mid 60s. I will be stepping it up another few notches thoughout the next few weeks and will peak at 90 miles seveal weeks before race weekend. More updates as the race weekend approaches and a full recap after the race.
Hey Bob! I'm also a Bob of sorts! ;)
ReplyDeleteBest of luck on this relay. I am doing the Ragnar Relay here in Florida in November. But I don't know about 90 miles. Wow! That is a lot.
Thanks B.o.B, good luck to you as well. We are really training hard, so hopefully it pays off. I like the use of disconbobulated ... I tend to be bias and use that word a lot.
