Carrrying on the Tradition
Chris Harper Sr., KTC President
T
his is an exciting time for the KTC.
We start Youth Athletics at Tom
Black Track on the UT campus.
Many of us are training for fall marathons. Of late, we have added several
new members to the KTC Board of
Directors. We held the month of May
Board meeting at Calhoun’s
restaurant at Pellissippi and
Kingston Pike as a welcome for our new Board
members. Thanks to the
staff at store 104 for their
great service.
At the June monthly
board meeting, we were pleased to have
Bob Neff in attendance. Bob is one of the
founding members of the Knoxville Track
Club. Bob shared his pleasure in seeing
the KTC grow and continue its work in
the Knoxville community. Bob remains
active as a track and field official and
member of the KTC.
As we continue to pursue the mission
of the KTC, I am mindful the purpose of
the Board of Directors for the KTC. The
scale and scope of the programs within
the Club has grown over with the needs
of the community. Beyond the trail races,
distance races, social runs, youth activities,
and training programs, the purpose of the
Board is to govern the activities of the Club.
The KTC Board has
become more diverse in
composition. We more
closely reflect the community we serve. As volunteer board members,
we have several basic responsibilities, as
taken from the National Center for Nonprofit Boards:
♦ Support the Executive Director and
review his performance.
♦ Ensureeffectiveorganizationalplanning.
♦ Ensure adequate resources are avail-
able to achieve
the mission of
the KTC.
♦ Manage the
resources of the
KTC effectively.
♦ Determine and monitor club programs.
♦ Enhance the Club’s public image.
There are other responsibilities, but
I believe these are important to this
Board as we pursue the mission of the
Club.
Over the past months, I have had
several conversations with Club members who have children with special needs.
I believe we can offer fitness and running
activities for everyone desiring to participate. Expect to see KTC events for
special needs children to participate in the
near future.

Notes From Your Executive Director
KTC Fun in the
Summertime Sun
Bobby Glenn, KTC Executive Director
S
pring and summer are always a fun
time for the club with a lot of variety
in the offerings. Expo, our longtime
flagship event, was special this year as
we dedicated it to those affected by the
tragedy in Boston and raised
$2,895 for The One Fund
Boston. Summer Solstice was
a blast as always and the
crowd got to enjoy some great
barbeque, beer and music in a
really laid back atmosphere. Night races
are coming up at Fireball and Pigeon
Forge and these are always a lot of fun.
We’ve been busy on the trails as well
as we ventured up to Panther Creek, out
to Quarry and down to Lakeshore for
some challenging and beautiful trail racing. Even this old guy has been jumping
in a few trail races and getting the itch to
compete again after more than a few
years of running “just for fun”.
Our volunteer base never ceases to
amaze me as all these races require a lot
of support. We look forward to recognizing our volunteers at the
KTC summer picnic scheduled
August 25 at the Knoxville Botanical Gardens. You’ll have a
chance to nominate volunteers
for the Allan Morgan Service
Award and Ginnie Canfield Memorial
Volunteer of the Year Award to be presented at the picnic. Nomination forms
are included in this issue and will be
available online. Special thanks to Jill
Bedford, our volunteer coordinator, who
does an outstanding job year-round
rounding up volunteers for our events.
We have some new and fresh events
we’re working on. This year’s Hal
Canfield Memorial is going to be a milefest on Labor Day with 6 separate competitive mile races and a low key fun run
to choose from. If you’ve ever wondered how fast you could run a mile if
that’s all you had to do, now’s your
chance. Kevin Floyd, our new Youth
Athletics Program Director, is introducing a 6 race series of youth miles to
be run on the Greenways around town
throughout the year and a 5K event for
youth only next June. Stay tuned for
details on these events. Got ideas for
new events or ways we can make
existing events better? I’m all ears!
Enjoy the summer, stay hydrated, run
fast (or enjoy running slow)!

INSIDE STUFF
Michael deLisle, FOOTNOTES Editor
A Rose Colored Life
I
’m often reminded — rarely more
than this past week — that I am
surrounded in my life by an unusually
hale and healthy circle of people. Sure,
there’s hardly a runner gliding around the
surface of this planet who doesn’t have
some sort of nagging tick or twinge or
ailment, but at the core, a given runner is
among the healthiest specimens of human being. And even those who walk
with a mixture of hope and trepidation for
their first visit to Runners Market —
hopeful that the venture into a heretofore
unexplored wilderness of fitness will yield
great bounty, fearful that we fit individuals inside will treat them with disdain,
dislike, or worse, pretend they’re not
there — are typically at least on the right
track, wanting to join in with those of us
who have already figured out that to keep
moving is to keep living, and to stop
moving is to begin dying.
Other than on trips to Home Depot or
the gas station, or a rare visit to one of
those All You Can Possibly Stuff in Your
Fat Face buffets, I truly don’t encounter
many of the stereotypical folks who help
earn Tennessee the dubious honor of
being annually named one of the fattest
and least fit states in the Union. They
don’t seem to hang around the finish line
at road races or spend time treading welltrodden trails in Knoxville’s Urban Wilderness. Nor do I encounter them when
out on morning walks or bike rides, or
even at most of the places I shop. Four
hundred pound people aren’t often seen
at Earth Fare, Trader Joe’s, or Gourmet’s
Market.
You know where they do hang out?
At the hospital. I was reminded of this —
it was literally shoved in my face — early
this past week when Jesse had to have a
quasi-routine procedure done under anesthesia at Tennova (the old St. Mary’s.)
The hospital was crawling with sick and
unhealthy people. But to be fair, it’s not
only heavyset men and women trudging

down hallways or overwhelming normal-sized seats in the waiting room;
there’s a fair number of people who — on
the surface, at least — resemble some of
those who populate the front lines at a
5k. You know who I mean. Lean as
whippets. So skinny that when they turn
sideways they vanish.
Only the countless thin women and
men in the hospital corridors aren’t thin
by choice or by vocation. Just the opposite, their frailty is illness-related. And
while some illnesses are not lifestylerelated, many are. I read this week that
90 percent of heart disease is lifestyle
related and that at least 70-75 percent of
health care spending is related to lifestyle.
Thin or fat, those who choose to smoke,
to drink to excess, and to ignore basic
tenets about diet and exercise are paying
the price. And so are we.
Back in 1991, only four U.S. states
reported obesity rates exceeding 15 percent. By 2002, all 50 states had passed
that milestone, making us the heaviest
developed nation on earth. Then it got
worse — today, more than 20 percent of
the citizens in every state except Colorado are obese. In some states, it’s much
worse. Nationally, two of every five
Americans are obese, compared to two
of every 28 French citizens and fewer
than two of every 100 Japanese.
If overweight Americans collectively
made minor behavior adjustments and
returned to what they weighed in 1991,
they’d save the country more than $1
trillion a year in the form of reduced
health care costs — and not just costs to
those overweight or chain-smoking
Americans, but to us! We pay for their
excesses in the form of health insurance
premiums that skyrocket in the face of
our low risk and good health. That’s
crazy!
Okay, I’m climbing down off my
soapbox. It’s not good to get all stressed
out, either, they tell us. Think I’ll lace
up my shoes and get outside for a walk
in the rain. And as I do, I’ll be grateful
for my blessings of health and good
fortune, and remain determined to
continue surrounding myself with you
“rose-colored,” fit individuals with
whom I’m proud to associate almost
exclusively with.
Date, Time, and Place: 21 September, Saturday morning

Michael deLisle, Trail Series Director
Sweaty, Soggy Fun on the Trails
hat a difference a year makes.
This time last year, we were
about halfway through the
2012 season. But we’d already endured
temperatures in the 90s at our Lakeshore
Trail Trek and had warm, if not hot,
conditions at almost all our other races.
Rain had only reared its head once, that
but a drizzle at Ijams in April.
W
Bastille Day celebration out in Knoxville’s
Urban Wilderness should be a fun, lowkey affair on a deviously circuitous race
course designed by the deviously devilish
Tony Owens. It really will be close to six
miles, he insists to scoffs and raised
eyebrows of all within earshot. I guess
we don’t exactly have a reputation for
precisely measured trail race courses.
find ourselves at Haw Ridge for a Saturday afternoon (!) race. It won’t be
overlong, promises RD Laura Gearhiser,
but it will be overfun (is that a word?)
Our postrace festivities at Haw Ridge are
usually among the best of the season and
have been known to inspire a case or two
of Montezuma’s Revenge. Habanero
salsa, anyone?
This year, however, we’ve set foot on
many a soggy trail. Rain fell throughout
both the Panther Creek Challenge in May
and at June’s Stalk Your Quarry race. It
was a relief to see the sunshine out at
Lakeshore, yet if the 10-day forecast is
accurate, our Hann Jive Six-Miler may be
run under sodden skies, too. Hope not.
But our hearts are in the right places.
What’s important to us is that our courses
are marked well, that aid stations are
plentiful and well-stocked, and that our
race courses, inaccurately measured as
they sometimes are, offer a fun and often
challenging tour of venues and environs
new to the average trail runner or at least
moderately challenging, or both. Hopefully both.
Then on to Norris and Big South Fork
for long, challenging, and rewarding tours
of those great park systems. The Norris
affair — your choice of 25 delightful
kilometers or 50 doubly delightful ones
— will be contested on the Sunday of
Labor Day weekend, allowing weary
runners a day off afterward during which
to recover. The Big South Fork race,
venerable grandaddy of East Tennessee
trail racing that it is, will be celebrating its
twentieth anniversary running and Race
Director Bobby Glenn promises some
special celebratory treats.
And yet it matters little to trail runners.
In fact, most avid trailsters love slogging
through the mud, slipping and sliding up
and down slick hillsides, and stomping
through puddles both shallow and deep.
As a hardcore road runner back in the
1990s, I became aware of the psychology of running in the rain. While I didn’t
mind rain falling on my head once I was
out pounding the pavement — especially
when the weather was hot — it was
indeed difficult to take those first few
steps out into a driving rain, even worse
if the temperatures were chilly.
The trails we’ll send runners galloping
over, under, and through for the balance
of the 2013 season all exemplify these
characteristics. Once our post-Hann
Jive four-week haitus is concluded, we’ll
See you on the trails!

TRAIL SCHEDULE
SCHEDULE

South Knoxville. 6 miles.
HAW RIDGE TRAIL RACE — Saturday, August 10, 5:30 pm. Haw Ridge Park, 7 miles.
And while the same psychology applies on trail, it doesn’t seem to matter as
much. Running routes rampant with
slippery surfaces and squishy mud, with
wet hair falling lank across the face,
wind-driven rain in the eyes, rarely comes
as a surprise in a trail race. It’s almost to
be expected, endured, enjoyed.
Thus on we cruise through the second
half of the 2013 trail race season. Our

COVENANT HEALTH
KNOXVILLE MARATHON 2013
REFLECTING ON 2013 CHKM
Jason Altman, Director, Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon
N
ow that it has been a couple of
months since the 2013 Covenant
Health Knoxville Marathon, it is
a good time to sit back and reflect on the
event. For the first time in the 9 year
history, we had fewer participants than
the previous year. In 2012, we had 7,916
registrants. This year, we had 7,336. In
my opinion, there were several factors
(none of which was within our control)
that caused the dropoff. I have full
confidence that the numbers for 2014 will
not just rebound but will surpass the
2012 totals.
Despite the slight dropoff, I must say
that I felt that the execution of the whole
weekend was the best yet. From Goody
Bag Stuffing the weekend before to the
Expo and its featured speakers, from the
Covenant Kids Run on Saturday through
the conclusion on Sunday of all the races,
I believe that we put on the best event that
we have to date.
Here’s a slight recap of some of the
things we added for 2013.
♦ We added a virtual goody bag.
While we still had a true goody bag
(where we encouraged sponsors to provide tangible items), we offered the virtual bag as well. This was emailed to
participants multiple times during race
week and alerted them to products and
services that our sponsors would be
showcasing at the expo or in their stores.
♦
Speaking of “virtual” we added
virtual badges. Before the race, full and
half marathoners had the opportunity to
claim a badge through social media. This
would inform their friends that they were
“In Training” for the CHKM. After the
race, participants could
claim a “Finisher
Badge”, which was
then also displayed
through their social
media avenues.
♦ We added
new mile markers for
the first 8 miles. Some of the feedback
we received last year was that the mile
markers were not visible when the
crowds were still thick. With the old
mile markers only being waist high,
this complaint had validity. For budgetary reasons, we embarked upon a
three year project for the mile markers,
doing the earliest miles first (1-8) and
will add the remaining miles over the
course of the next two years.
♦
The shirts were the best yet.
The design was unique yet simple
enough as to not be cumbersome on the
shirt. We added tech shirts (women’s
and men’s sizing) to the relays for the
first time this year. Relay participants
were thankful to have this benefit for
the first time.
♦ This year’s Pilot Flying J Post
Race Party was a huge success. We
moved it from Thompson Boling Arena
to the concourses of Neyland Stadium.
The feedback we received from 2012
was that only 1/3 of the participants went
to the Arena for the Post Race Party.
Putting the festivities at the stadium, right
near the finish line, would mean that folks
could not leave the stadium without at least
seeing the food, drinks,
music, and stretching.
The response from
the participants was
outstanding. Everyone seemed to love
the post race location,
the food offerings, and the music and
awards.
Looking ahead….we have big plans
for 2014! The March 30 Covenant
Health Knoxville Marathon will be the
10th year for the race. It’s hard to believe
that ten years has gone by so fast. Everything will be geared to commemorate the
10th year. Be sure and join us!
Finally, I want to recognize a special
group. After nine years, there are 20
individuals who have run the full marathon each and every year. They are
Robin Auerbach, William (Scott) Black,
Larry Brede, Andrea’ Collins, Clifton
Corker, Dennis Depp, Jeremy Fountain,
Tom Hansen, Doug Homoky, Mark

KTC YOUTH ATHLETICS
Youth Program
Hits the Ground Running
Kevin Floyd, KTC Director of Youth Athletics
I
would like to start this update by
thanking the Knoxville Track Club
membership for being as welcoming
as I have made my transition to the
Knoxville area and its running community. Being new to the area, your warmth
and friendship has been incredible and I
can’t tell you how much I have appreciated it. The last 6 weeks have been busy
for me and the KTC Youth Athletics
program as we have met with local
coaches, KTC members and the local
parks and recreation department in an
attempt to develop a quality program for
our area youth. As a result, we have
some exciting youth programs on the
horizon that I want to let each of you
know about. Beginning July 9th and
running through August 3rd, KTC will be
conducting its Youth Summer Track
Program at Tom Black Track on the UT
campus. Currently, we have 70 athletes
signed up to participate with ages ranging
from 4 to 17. Each day, we are adding
more athletes and expect to hit our goal of
200 by the time registration ends on July
16th. Practices will take place on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and meets on
Saturdays through August 3rd. If you
would like to help out as a coach or
volunteer during the program, please feel
free to contact me by email at
ktcyouthathletics@gmail.com or by
phone at 615-512-0088.
In addition to our summer track program, we will be working with youth at
the Fireball 5k event on July 3rd. A

youth race consisting of a 200 yard dash
will occur prior to the start of the 5k and
we expect 200 kids to participate on that
evening. There will be prizes for all in
attendance so please come out and support this event.
Also, mark your calendars for the fall
as KTC will begin a youth mile series on
the greenways called School Daze. In
conjunction with the Knoxville Parks and
Recreation Department, we will host 6
races beginning in August. These races
will consist of 1 mile and take place on
various greenways throughout the Knoxville area. The goals of this series are to
promote an active lifestyle among the
city’s youth and the utilization of the
beautiful greenway system throughout
the area. Our first event is tentatively set
for the end of August and we will be
conducting races on bi-monthly schedule
throughout the school year. I will be
including a more detailed listing of this
program as well as an upcoming KTC
Cross Country program in future
Footnotes.
Finally, let me say that none of the
programs that we are offering could take
place without the support of club members such as you. I appreciate your
support in our programming and welcome your suggestions and feedback.
Again, I can be reached via email at
ktcyouthathletics@gmail.com or by
phone at 615-512-0088 with any feedback that you may have for making our
youth programs a success. Or, if you see
me at an event, just come by and say
hello. I’d love to talk with you.
Happy running,

Ever Consider Directing
a KTC Race?
I
have had the privilege to direct the
Strawberry Plains Half Marathon &
10k for the past 4
years. I have it down
to a system now, but
have always found it
to be a pleasure to put
together. The estimate
is it takes about 25 to
30 hours of time to
put together. To be
honest, I am not sure
about the time it takes as I have a system
in place as to what to do when.
One big bonus as a race director is that
as a thank you for the time and effort I put
in, KTC offers to let me run the rest of the
KTC races at no
charge. Whoo Hoo!
And as a runner,
this is a big bonus.
KTC has an Event Coordinator (Mike
Wortley) who is a
HUGE asset to me in
getting the race together. Also our new Managing Director
(Bobby Glenn) was a HUGE help and he
even volunteered on the course! Talk
about multitasking.
Call Jill Bedford
622-7213
Once again, a multi-tiered award
system of valuable KTC gear will
be given to those who worked
either a minimum of five, twelve,
or twenty events. Qualifying
events include road races, track
meets, adopt-a-highway, Treadin’
Trodden Trails Series races, and
youth athletics program events.

Are You Being Fooled by
Your Labels?
by Lee Murphy
MS-MPH, RD, LDN
Licensed Nutritionist
H
ave you ever been persuaded to
buy something by clever food
labeling? Maybe it’s something
that insinuates it will make you run faster,
or possibly recover better, or just plain be
“healthier”. Nutrition-based food labeling
can be helpful in choosing between similar products, but it can also fool wellintentioned consumers into believing that
foods labeled “sugar-free”, “fat-free” or
“whole-wheat” are healthy choices—
when they may actually not be the best
choice for clean eating.
“Health Halo” Effect
Sometimes we are lured by advertisers on television, other times it is online
or in print, and still many other times it is
at the point of purchase—when we just
like the way the package looks or what it
says. Consumer food marketing can be
extremely persuasive, and the right
buzzword on a package can lure a shopper into making an unwise purchase.
This has been called the
“health halo” effect. Studies have shown that this
“health halo” effect leads
some people to eat twice
as much or more of certain
foods because they are marketed as “healthy”.
By Definition…
There are legal definitions for food
label nutrition claims. For instance, according to the FDA, a label may say the
word “healthy” if the food is low in fat and
saturated fat, limited in sodium and cholesterol, and provides at least 10% of one
or more of: vitamin A, vitamin C, iron,
calcium, protein, and fiber. In addition,
the terms “low-fat”, “low-calorie”, “lowcholesterol”, “fat-free”, etc. also have
certain legal restrictions (per serving)
that they have to adhere
to. But even with these
definitions, clever manufacturers can still mislead
hopeful consumers into
thinking they are buying
something “healthier” than
it may truly be.
Some Examples
So which foods are the
most misleading? With new products on
the market almost daily, it is difficult to
name names, but here are several products to be aware of:
♦ Vegetable chips — These are
marketed as healthy substitutes for vegetables but the nutrition labels on most
brands read the same as potato chips.
Many of the vegetables’ nutrients are lost
in the processing of these chips. Choose
real vegetables instead.
Nutrient-en♦
hanced waters — Most
are nothing more than colored sugar water that contains empty calories that
could contribute to weight
gain. Claims that some of
these products are a healthy
choice because of added
vitamins are just marketing hype. You would be better off taking
a daily multivitamin with a glass of water.
♦ Muffins — If they’re sprinkled
with a few oats or packed with berries,
they may seem to be a healthier choice
than doughnuts, but sometimes muffins
are really nothing more than cupcakes
without icing. Be sure to check the serving size on the labels of mega-sized
muffins, which easily read 4(!) servings
per muffin…meaning you
need to find three friends
to share your ONE muffin
with.
♦ P r e - m a d e
smoothies — Most commercial ready-made
smoothies are loaded with
sugar and calories. You’re
better off making your
own smoothies with highquality ingredients such as low-fat Greek
yogurt, fresh or frozen fruits, and clean
protein powder.
Be a Cautious Consumer!
Please continue to read those food
labels, but also remember to read deeper
than just the language on the front of the
package!

Confessions of a Social
Jogger
by Lauren Chiles, KTC Social Director
A view fr
om the rear
from
I
love road races. Maybe, not running
them. Sometimes running them. But
I love all the excitement, the joy, and
the triumph that I see in the
runners’ faces. I went to
Summer Solstice this weekend. If you’ve never raced
this one, please picture this
(in my best impersonation of
Sophia from Golden Girls
voice): Blount County mountain roads, June heat, 6 pm
sun. It’s really hot. And it’s
really hard. I mean, it seemed hard, but
I was driving in Doug’s truck to the water
stop so I didn’t get out of breath.
I like to volunteer at water stops. I can
see my friends run by. I get to give them
the liquid of life, and then tell them how
awesome they are doing. I like cheering
for folks in the race that might not know
anyone else. I’ll be their biggest fan.
Heck, I woke up early and ran before it
got hot. I knew I couldn’t last in this heat,
so I’m impressed. One runner even told me this was her
first time running over a 5K.
How wonderful to be a part
of that experience!
Well, the water stop started
out a little rocky. The jugs,
table, and cups that Jack and
Cait had loving distributed
were gone. Completely. Nothing was
there. It was ten minutes befor the gun.
This hot, hilly race, would be without
water at mile 1 and mile 4. Quick
thinking had us taking one Gatorade jug
from the second water stop, using a truck
tailgate as our table, and getting water
from the church next door. We had an
assembly line set up passing water cups
from the water source to the runners,
who were already well on their way.
There’s no way we could have gotten
water to all these hot, thirsty runners,
without the wonderful, ready to work
spirit of the volunteers. This day, I
found the volunteers I was there with
were just as inspiring as the runners.
Please contact Jill Bedford if you are
interested in being a part of a water stop,
or any volunteer post at a future date. I
think you’ll find it just as fun and rewarding as I do.
This summer the socialites will be
enjoying our downtown run guided by
rhyming clues, and journeying up to
Cades Cove for our moonlit run. If you
want to be updated on all our social runs,
please follow our facebook group page.

GPS
A Pain in the Butt
I
should apologize in advance if you
think this is about your Garmin or
other locating device. My actual topic
is piriformis syndrome; however, this
condition is so poorly named that I have
single-handedly renamed it- henceforth,
we should all call it- gluteal pain syndrome or GPS for short.
First, a bit about nomenclature. In
medicine, “syndrome,” which is of Greek
origin, is a group of symptoms or physical findings, none of which by itself is
diagnostic of a condition, but when seen
together can suggest the presence of a
problem. For example, a femur fracture is
not a syndrome. The x-ray shows it, and
you have the diagnosis. Carpal tunnel
syndrome, however, which is essentially
a pinched nerve at the wrist, cannot be
definitively diagnosed by any one parameter, even those fancy nerve conduction
tests showing the nerve function is slow
at the wrist. The symptoms and physical
findings should corroborate the nerve
test findings to clinch the
diagnosis of this syndrome.
Getting technical about it,
piriformis syndrome is
poorly named and definitely
less well understood. The
piriformis is a muscle deep
in the butt or gluteal area,
and piriformis means “pear
shaped” in Latin (Latin and
Greek come together in this
name- and you thought
learning a foreign language
was of no use- pshaw!) Anyway, I see
the piriformis muscle often when I perform hip operations. A more accurate
description would be triangular, wedge,
fan shaped, or pyramidal. I have eaten a
pear too, and it was not shaped like that
muscle.
Strictly speaking, piriformis syndrome
is when the sciatic nerve deep in the butt
is irritated, inflamed, or
pressed on by something
to do with the piriformis
muscle that lies right on
top of it. Necessary for this
diagnosis are nerve symptoms going down the back
of the thigh and leg such as
shooting pains, numbness,
tingling, or electrical
shocks. I see the term often misused to mean simply a pain deep in the buttock area without the radiating nerve symptoms. The
diagnosis (maybe not the treatment) is a
bit easier in the presence of nerve symptoms because about the only other entity
commonly causing these same nerve
symptoms would be a ruptured lumbar
disc or a pinched nerve in
the back.
You can Wiki piriformis
syndrome and get an idea
of the range of anatomic
variations and pathologic
changes of the piriformis
muscle and the sciatic
nerve.
When misused, which
is most often, piriformis
syndrome refers to a pain
in the butt. Your Wiki search should at
least leave you surprised at the numerous
structures in the area that could be the
source of pain-and how difficult it is to
make an accurate diagnosis and thus
form a treatment plan. In an area about
the size of your fist and covered and
hidden by an athletes butt muscle, you
have: the sacroiliac joint, the hip (greater
trochanteric) bursa, the hamstring tendons, the ischial (sitting bone) bursa, the
hip joint, the sciatic nerve, and several
small muscles including the piriformis,
and any of these can be painful.
To make matters worse, few of these
structures have any or any reliable
changes on imaging tests like x-rays and
MRIs. This is why I have coined the
phrase GPS- gluteal pain syndrome- to
better describe this malady.
Treatment for GPS is directed to the
structures seemingly involved. You might
get strengthening of weak hip/pelvic
muscles or stretching of- somethinghamstrings, piriformis, hip
abductors or extensors or
external rotators (less often the adductors or flexors need strengthening, but
they often need stretching). And there is handson massage and deep tissue massage with those
fancy expensive gizmos in
the PT’s toolbox, but this
area is deep and might be
too protected by the gluteus maximus to
respond to massage. However, it is worth
a try. NSAIDS may help along with an
occasional carefully placed cortisone shot
(Note: there are some big arteries in the
area along with the sciatic nerve, which is
about the size of your thumb).
Surgery would rarely or never be
necessary, but I have seen success
with a procedure to “release” the piriformis muscle. We frequently release
or cut it during other hip surgery when
exposing the joint- as far as I know,
there is no problem with sacrificing it
and no functional loss without it. The
piriformis may just be the appendix of
the gluteal area.
So, start saying GPS instead of piriformis syndrome. You will be speaking
English, and that is a language more of us
can understand.
Be careful out there...

Safety, Worthy Causes, etc.
I
try to collect items of interest that
come across my desk to share with
you readers, and periodically clean
out the basket. This is one of those times.
ing very rainy weather on tours in Georgia, France and Arizona (!). Northern
Arizona actually has a monsoon season in
late July/August.
Safety
My conclusion is that sometimes you
are going to be in bad weather. Typically,
my bicycle tires’ contact patch is tiny, and
thus traction is at risk. Clearly, the faster
you go, the more likely you
will skid. My worst “bad
weather wreck” was on damp
pavement after the rainstorm
when I became too confident
and speedy in a corner. The
bike slid without warning, I
landed on my left hip and
experienced abrasions, hematoma, and pieces of my rearview mirror embedded in my hip.
The second week of May, the News
Sentinel reported that a former Cocke
County businessman and
political figure pleaded guilty
to “vehicular homicide by
recklessness and driving under the influence of alcohol in
connection with the 2011
death of Catelin Richardson,
21, of Jeffersonville, Vermont.” She and a friend were
on break from New England colleges,
working as river rafting guides. They had
biked into Newport for dinner and were
returning when the accident occurred.
Although neither woman had been drinking alcohol, the Attorney General stated
that Richardson was riding her bicycle “in
the middle of the road. Her bicycle was
not properly equipped with lights for
nighttime riding, and she was wearing a
black backpack.”
As you know, I am a lawyer, and if I
had been in that court, I might well not
have described her position as “middle of
the road.” Perhaps they were simply
riding side by side, as is often the case
with you and me. The incident occurred
on July 12, 2011 and was described as
“23 minutes after sunset.”
On May 4, a rider was killed in the 3
State 3 Mountain Challenge in Chattanooga on one of those horribly rainy
Saturdays.
I have done that ride on several occasions and they aren’t kidding when they
say “mountains.” I have also ridden durFootnotes July 2013 - 18
On bicycle tours, you have little alternative to continuing to ride to make it to
the next night’s lodging, but slow and
cautious is the ticket.
An item on the net on May 15 ranked
the four most dangerous sports rated by
trips to the Emergency Department. The
“winner” was not soft/baseball, basketball or football, but bicycling with some
550,000 Emergency Department visits
and “hundreds of deaths.”
The figures were for the year 2010
compiled by GEICO. I have burdened
you with my history of bicycle injuries,
most of which were avoidable by care
and proper bicycle maintenance. One,
however, was completely unavoidable
due to the erratic nature of a motorist.
Fortunately, I was not injured beyond a
few bruises and heartburn due to my
anger at the nitwit driver.
There are safety lessons for you
and me:
♦ The bicycle always loses in a
collision with a motor vehicle.
♦ 23 minutes after sunset, even in
mid-summer, is not bright daylight, no
matter what the bicyclist may be wearing.
♦ Side by side riding can easily place
a cyclist in danger, particularly on narrow
roads.
♦ On my way to work early in the
morning, I see a bicycle commuter who
always has a flashing light on both front
and rear of his bicycle, even in midsummer when there is ambient light.
♦ A black backpack would obscure
an eye-catching jersey.
♦ Having the legal right-of-way is of
no consequence whatsoever in preventing an accident.
♦ Always ride defensively.
Once again, if you are going to share
the roads with motor vehicles, you must
exercise the highest degree of care and
defensive riding.
Worthy Causes
If you simply read the news items,
bike riding is tracking our road runs in the
frequency and variety of events supporting causes.
In the May 13, 2013 issue of The
Knoxville Focus, the lead article on page
1 features the 55 year old John LaMacchia,
father of three, and the Band Director at
Vine Middle School. He has been a
bicyclist for 41 years and has ridden with
m,x continued on page 19m,x
m,x continued from page 18 ,cx
family and friends all over the United
States, including a cross U.S. ride from
California to New Jersey in 1980, averaging 70 miles a day.
Recently, he has become concerned
about the plight of our area’s homeless
people and decided to combine that care
with his passion for cycling and compete
in Tennessee and Regional events leading
to National Senior Olympics to be held in
Minnesota in 2015.
Throughout his training, LaMacchia
will solicit personal donations to Redeeming Hope Ministries where donations will go directly to help the homeless. Personal donations can be sent via
check to Redeeming Hope Ministries, c/
o Eddie Young, Coordinator, 1642 Highland Avenue, Knoxville, Tennessee 37916.
100% of the donations collected will go
directly to Redeeming Hope.
Etc.
An organization close to my heart is
Rails-to-Trails Conservancy
Conservancy, dedicated to transforming abandoned railways into a nationwide network of public
trails suitable for pedestrians, cyclists,
and, in some cases, equestrians. A
$35.00 donation or more will bring you
one of six guidebooks for the following
areas: West, Midwest, New England,
Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Pennsylvania-New Jersey-New York. Those guidebooks can be purchased directly as well
at 2121 Ward Court, NW, 5th Floor,
Washington
DC

I have ridden Rails-to-Trails in the
South and the West and enjoyed them
immensely. The railways have included
communities and undeveloped areas, including exciting vistas of streams, mountains and prairie. Railways had to have
very gentle grades which makes for comfortable riding for the entire family. Most
train stations you find on these routes are
of historical interest and provide opportunities for refreshment and restrooms.
One month after the Boston Marathon bombing, survivors are attempting
to heal, both physically and emotionally.
Some are now wheelchair bound, others
are adjusting to arm-powered bicycles;
still others are looking forward to a
prosthetic leg or two.
I have heard that several are planning
to finish the race that was so horribly
interrupted.
Without individual details, the 2013
State Farm Top Ten States for Dog
Bites reports that 3,670 claims cost
them $108,000,000.00. They further
claim there are 4.7 million dog bites per
year. I know you are asking if Tennessee
made the top ten in this undesirable
category. It did not, though Florida was
eighth and Georgia was ninth, with 123
and 121 claims respectively. Who was
first, you urge? California with 451 claims.
The other states were largely northern,
except for Texas, which was third.
I speculated about these rankings and
concluded that more populous states
would have more bites as would states in
the Sunbelt where riders, runners and
just ordinary folks, would be out much
more. An additional factor might be State
Farm’s varying number of policies state
to state. Of course, these statistics are
not necessarily for bicyclists or even
runners, but included all claims for bites
against their policyholders.

events, see Knoxville Regional Bicycling

A year ago I wrote about the cardboard bicycle invented by the Israeli
inventor Izhar Gafni, who suggested that
he had solved the world’s transportation
problems as it could retail for about $20.
As this column is being written, CNN
will air a special on the bike the first or
second week of June as it appears that his
company has launched a campaign that
offers “limited and exclusive access” to
one of those bikes.

Track. This year’s event attracted 1,115
high school athletes – 85 teams from 9
states attended. Highlights included a
4:12 mile, a new meet record. The meet
was conducted well and ran on time.
Bobby discussed the possibility of combining the VTC and SeaRay Relays. KTC
membership numbers are good but stable.
The PigeonForge.com sponsorship
was confirmed. The date of the Pigeon
Forge 8k will have to be moved to the last
Saturday in July for 2013 because of a
conflict with the host hotel.
There were other sponsorship discussions with Tennessee Sports Medicine
Group, Suntan City, Sam’s Club, Panera
Bread, and Tim Hathaway.
The KTC finalized the employment
agreement with Kevin Floyd, new Youth
Athletics Program director. Kevin will
start May 1.
The 2013 budget was finalized.
Marathon Director’s Report —
The email provider that hosted
info@knoxvillemarathon.com,
Troy Rebert initiated a discussion about

KTC BOARD
m,x continued from page 20,cx
potentially combining our various email
lists, and their use for dissemination of
information to the KTC membership.
Bobby Glenn discussed several Boston tribute ideas:
♦ KTC partnership support for the
Rev3Glow 5K Night Race, which is
donating 100% of its proceeds to the
injured former UT swimmer.
♦ Expo 5K/10K – Dedicate this year’s
race to Boston Victims, possibly employing a blue and yellow color scheme and
donating a portion of the proceeds to the
Boston Athletic Association/The One
Fund.
Long Distance committee — Ethan
Coffey was proposed as chair and Keith
Gemeinhart proposed as a new member.
Trail Report — Recent races (ICKing
of Trails, Wild West Ridge Run) have
been successful. Jamie Niland proposed
including a difficulty level with the information about upcoming races; Will
Skelton proposed instead including an
elevation chart with the race information.
Officials Report — We have a
good group of experienced track officials,
but we need some younger additions to
the group. A discussion ensued about how
to recruit/attract new officials. One idea
was to potentially add the development of
officials to Kevin Floyd list of goals.
Treasurer’s Report — The
Treasurer’s Report included 1Q financial
statements. The move to accrual-based
accounting is done, except for the Knoxville Marathon - more accurate marathon
numbers will be available in June. Mike
Parton (and others) will be meeting with
Steve Arnett of The Trust Company to
discuss investment options.
New Business — Brad Adams proposed discussing a possible merger of the
two big Thanksgiving Day races.
Bobby expressed the desire to make
our races more fun like some of the recent
colorful non-KTC events. A discussion
was held around the idea of having one of
our races be a big fundraiser for a local
charity, such as KARM.
Ed Leaver announced that the recipient of the $1,500 Hal Canfield Memorial
Fund Scholarship has been selected.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:42
p.m. The next KTC Board Meeting will
be held on May 20, 2013 at 7:00 p.m.

TIPS
TIPS FOR
FOR TRAIL
TRAIL RUNNING
RUNNING SAFETY
SAFETY
♦ Follow the rules of the road - travel on the right
and pass on the left.
♦ Don’t run down the middle of the trail. Run to
the right side to allow others to pass safely.
♦ Don’t wear headphones – but if you insist on
going against this RRCA and common-sense safety
guideline, keep the volume low or only wear one
headphone.
♦ If you are running an out-and-back route on a
trail, don’t just make a sudden u-turn at your turn
around point. Stop, step to the right to allow
oncoming traffic the opportunity to pass. Ensure
the trail is clear of oncoming traffic (runners,
cyclists, in-line skaters, etc.) then make your u-turn.
Making a sudden u-turn without looking over your
shoulder is a good way to get hit by an oncoming
cyclist or skater.
♦ Avoid running on trails in the evening if they
are not well lit and do not have regular traffic.
♦ Never run more than two abreast if you are
running in a group. Don’t be a trail hog. While
pedestrians have the right of way on most trails, the
goal is to share the trails.
♦ Alert people when you are passing them – don’t
assume they are aware of their surroundings. A
simple “on your left” warning will suffice.
♦ Be alert on blind curves.
♦ Stop at stop signs if the trail crosses a roadway. Don’t
assume cars on the road will stop 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 small children on the
trail is a wise idea. Use this as an opportunity to
slow the pace then pick up the 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 before
planning a race or training event on your local
multi-use trail.
TSD Athletes Shine at
Berg/Seeger Classic
Bobby Glenn, KTC Executive Director
T
he Knoxville Track Club was proud
to support a fine group of athletes
from the Tennessee School for the Deaf as
they traveled to Faribault, Minnesota on May 11 for
the 6th Annual Berg/Seeger Classic, which serves as
the national championship for deaf schools.
PHOTO_TSD2.JPG
The TSD athletes performed very well. Demetria
Beasley was 6th in the discus with a throw of
60’101/2" and 9th in the shot put with a throw of
21’8". Michaela Evans was 5th in the 100m dash in
15.37, 6th in the 200m at 33.31 and 3rd (Bronze
Medal!) in the long jump at 13’2 3/4". Diamonique
Holmes was 7th in the shot put at 22’11" and 9th in
the discus at 48’11".
We’re so proud of these athletes and the fine
program Athletic Director Luke Benson and the staff
at TSD are running.
Next year’s nationals will be close to home
(Kentucky) and the team is already looking forward
to competing again.

W
hat a marvelous metaphor! I
only wish it were original
with me.
Even those of us who have been
involved (addicted) to exercise and fitness for decades from time to time need
to have our batteries recharged. Is all this
time and effort really worth it?
Are the benefits transient and
evanescent or are there really
more tangible results to be
achieved?
Such an opportunity happened to me recently at the
American Medical Athletic
Association at its yearly scientific sports medicine meeting in conjunction with the running of the
Boston Marathon. One of the speakers
was Dr. Walter Bortz, geriatrician and
professor at Stanford University. He has
written several articles and books pertaining to fitness and longevity. At 83 he
still participates in the Boston Marathon
and plans to live to be a hundred. His
philosophy of living life to the fullest is
most engaging. I have had the privilege
of riding the bus with him and his wife
multiple times to the start of the Boston
Marathon, including this year’s ill-fated
race.
Dr. Bortz points to the work of Blair,
et al at the Cooper Aerobics Clinic in
Dallas. More than 13,000 subjects were
followed for a period of a decade or so
with routine maximal treadmill testing
and compiling mortality statistics. The
results were most gratifying in showing
a significant reduction in mortality rates
in the “fit” group.
Data suggests that we lose 2% of our
wellness parameters per year as we age
if we are not fit, whereas this decrease in
vigor is more like 1/2% per year in
individuals who exercise and are fit. One
might compare a 70 year old fit person
in many parameters to a 40 year old
who is not fit.
Whether we are a canyon, tree, universe, or a human being, we are all
subject to the Second Law of
Thermodynamics which
states that the quality of energy deteriorates over time.
Usable energy is used for
productivity, growth, and
repair. Usable energy is
inevitable lost, as unusable
energy increases. Entropy is
the result with increasing
chaos or randomness within
a system. Basically aging then is the
effect of energy flow over matter. Really,
then, aging reflects how well we are able
to provide oxygen to our tissues.
“Aging is not a disease, it is disuse.”
Consider the limb that has been in a cast
for months. It is withered and weak,
appearing like an aged limb. With
exercise it can, however, regain its
previous vitality.
Identical twin studies show an average of 6 years difference in age of mortality. Genetic issues then make up approximately 15% of the factors accounting for
mortality. The remaining factors lie more
in the realm of environment. That is,
15% depends upon the cards we are
played, but the major concern is how we
play the hand.
Dr. Bortz draws a metaphor between
exercise and a symphony orchestra. The
musicians at first take their seats and
begin a discordant cacophony of seesaws, horn tooting, and drum rolls, as
their instruments are finely tuned. Then
the oboe sounds an ‘A”, which the cue for
other musicians to answer in unison.
Now the melody begins in synergy and
sweet harmony ensues. In the human
body exercise is the oboe’s ‘A’. Our
genes await the signal, which produces
improved oxygen-carrying potential in
our arteries, reduction of cardiovascular
mortality and certain cancers, improved
immunity, reduction of Type II diabetes
mellitus and a whole host of other byproducts such as stress relief, psychological well-being, and reduction of the
frailty that goes with aging.
Obviously we have no guarantees of
the morrow. We do, however, have the
tools to reverse the adage, “we live too
short and die too long.” Exercise is
pivotal, and of course rest, time for
repair, and proper fuel for our cellular
engines are also important.
We never get too old to play in whatever mode we decide to move our bodies
through space. Let’s go out and let our
oboe play its ‘A’ today.

NO PANTHERS BUT LOTS OF FUN AT
PANTHER CREEK CHALLENGE
John LeCroy, race director
I
t was a wet and soggy day for racing,
but that didn’t stop the brave trailsters
from coming out for the Panther
Creek Challenge. This year we added a
short course to the event that proved to
be a great success. The trails were muddy
but that only encouraged the runners to
get out for a romp in the woods. 65
runners braved the long course, while 52
runners tried the new short course.
The course started on the asphalt next
to the picnic area, ran a
slight uphill to the first
trail, the Ridgecrest
Trail. A steep downhill
kept runners on their
toes as they jumped
over limbs and negotiated boulders. And then the course made
a sharp left onto the Hunt Knob Trail.
The course followed the Hunt Knob Trail
for approximately 1.5 miles and then
crossed the road to the Lake Trail. This
is where the course got serious. Trail
runners following the long course turned
right to the Ore Mine Trail
while the short course
followers turned left
to the Point Lookout
Trail. The short
course allowed trail runners to follow the
Point Lookout Trail and make the finish
in record time. The long course runners
made the Ore Mine Trail Loop and then
followed connector
trails to the Maple
Arch Trail. The
Maple Arch trail is a
3.1 mile loop trail with
magnificent views of
Cherokee Lake.
However, the trail runners didn’t take
time to enjoy the view. Once they
finished the loop it was back to the Point
Lookout trail for the finish.
The first finisher to cross the long
course finish line was Jon Peralto, who
finished with a time of 1:22:19. The first
female long course finisher was Andrea
Ludwig, who finished
with a time of 1:48:34.
All of the runners had
a great run and enjoyed the trails at
Panther Creek.
The short course winner was Zach
Warren, with a time of 35:13. The first
place female finisher was Shelley Rabie,
who finished with a time of 39:06.
All in all, it was a great day to run at
Panther Creek State Park. Many thanks
go to the volunteers who made the
event possible and the staff at Panther
Creek for keeping the trails and facilities in great shape. Hope to see you
next year.

GORGEOUS WEATHER AND FAST TIMES
RAISE MONEY FOR BOSTON ONE FUND
Mike Wortley, race director
T
he 36th running of the KTC EXPO
10,000 and 5k was held on May
25th. The Memorial Day weekend
event is staple to many Knoxville area
runners, including the hard core group of
29 “Streakers” who have participated in
the event every year since its inception in
1978. This year’s EXPO was remarkable for two reasons.
Alan Horton (32:39) and Chris Bodary
(33:01.) Top masters finisher was Oak
Ridge’s Ed Wright (35:49), grandmasters was Greg Johnson (37:30), and
senior grandmasters was Jody Hines of
Knoxville (43:08.) Jeff Chapman of Team
Health Shoppe won the Clydesdale division, running 41:19.
Second, race day morning was graced
with some of the most spectacular weather
in recent memory! Fifty-five degrees and
sunny skies saw 970 participants off on
their trek of the 5k and 10k courses,
encouraging many a fast time.
In the women’s 10k, Elizabeth
Herndon, a member of the Trooper’s Bar
team, won handily, clocking 36:06. Second place was Team Health Shoppe’s
Rebecca McDowell (38:05), followed by
Team Runner’s Market’s Kathy Wolski
(38:21.) Five time overall champion
Jasmin Keller was this year’s masters
winner, running 40:23. Shelley Rabie of
Tazwell won the grandmasters division
in 43:59, while Mary Preisel came all the
way from Signal Mountain to win the
senior grandmaster’s division in a time of
50:56. Julie Fox-Williams of Cosby won
the Athena division in 51:48.
This year’s 10k men’s race was won
by veteran Stewart Ellington in 32:34,
outkicking his runners Market teammate
The 5k men’s race was won by Jason
Altman in a time of 16:37, outunning
Ryan Smith (2nd, 18:06) and Zachary
First, this year’s event was a fundraiser
for the One Fund Boston, a charity formed
to assist victims and families affected by
the April 15 Boston Marathon bombing.
Two dollars from each registration, plus
all donations made by participants were
donated, $2,410 all together.
Sakacsi (3rd, 18:48). Ray Wilson, Scott
King, and Steve Ferguson won the masters, grandmasters, and senior grandmasters divisions, respectively. Whitney
Neins of Knoxville won the women’s
race in 18:59, followed by Maria Bartlett
(2nd, 19:51) and Marsha Morton (3rd,
21:35). The masters, grandmasters, and
seniors grandmasters winners were Jennifer McKelvey, Linda Bartlett, and
Maryjane Pitts, respectively. Mike Peevy
won the Clydesdale divison, and Heather
Fraser won the Athena division.
This year’s EXPO would not have
been possible without the efforts of an
excellent group of volunteers who gave
up part of their holiday weekend to distribute bibs and t-shirts, hand out water,
serve as course monitors, slice up fruit,
and time the race. This race also made
possible by sponsorship support from
Pilot/Flying J, Calhoun’s, Runners Market, Tennessee Sports Medicine Group,
Academy Sports + Outdoors, Tim
Hathaway Realty Executives, the Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon, and
EarthFare.
STALK YOUR QUARRY:
WET, NEW, LOST, AND THANKS
Scott Gibson, race director
T
he Treadin’ Trodden Trails Stalk
Your Quarry race this year had
several words that summed it up,
WET; NEW; LOST; and THANKS.
WET
WET, because there was a light steady
rain when we started about 7:00 am.
NEW was because I was new to the
Race Director business.
LOST
LOST, was for the “missing” shirts
when we first got there.
THANKS to Michael
deLisle for running back to
the storage unit to get them!
Chris George and I got a
little more WET while bringing the tables and coolers
out to their location in the
rain and of course I spilled
some of the water on my shorts.
NEW for the addition of a short
course option.
LOST for the people who went right
instead of left after coming by the water
stop for the second time and cut the long
course short by several miles.
THANKS to Bobby Glenn, Laura
Geirheiser, Emerson Fuller, Phil Burgess, Rachel Jones, Jared, and Ben King
for running the trails to help
me layout the course!
WET for when it
started a torrential
downpour about 40
minutes into the race (I heard later that it
was the most rain in a given amount of
time ever in Knoxville)!
NEW for the new trails
we got to use (Burnett
Ridge and Ross Marble).
LOST for the people
who did the Hickory and
Amber loop twice. Bonus
miles! ;-)
THANKS to Darren
Stanford who helped me mark the course
on Saturday evening! Couldn’t have done
it without you!
WET for the water station volunteers (Shelley Rabie, Tracy Willis) who
got absolutely soaked to the bone while
manning the water stations and directing the racers!
LOST as a result of the rain and wind
twisting our arrows around and blowing
them down.
THANKS
to
Shelley Rabie and
Tracy Willis for manning the water stops
and to Larry Brede
for sweeping the course!
WET because I don’t think I have
ever been so wet without swimming!
NEW male overall, female overall,
male masters, female masters winners
(Zack Darby, Bianca Tries, Todd
Caldwell, and Laura Geirheiser). Way to
run in such difficult conditions!
LOST is what we would have been
without the help of the trail committee
members and many volunteers that make
the trail races possible!
THANKS to all of them!
One other word that comes to mind is
FUN which seemed to be had by all even
with all of the rain and some people
getting lost! See you next year when it’s
time to Stalk Your Quarry again!
DON’T FORGET...
The next KTC Treadin’ Trodden Trails event is coming up on July 14,
in the exciting new Urban Wilderness of South Knoxville. The
inaugural Hann Jive Six Miler starts at 9am at Anderson South Head

GOOD TIMES ROLL
AT SUMMER SOLSTICE

D
espite some challenging circumstances — vandals decided it
would be a good idea to dump our
coolers and throw them and our water stop
table in the woods, forcing Doug and
Bobby to throw a new water stop out there
with barely five minutes to spare — this
year’s Summer Solstice was a big hit.
We started the day with cooler than
normal temperatures but it managed to
heat up by race time. Things continued
heating up as Darren Brown sizzled to a
new course record of 25:20, chopping a
massive 45 seconds off the old record on
what’s one of the toughest 8K courses
out there. Ethan Coffey (27:08) and
Brent Johnson (28:38) rounded out the
top three.
(30:20) and Laura Gearhiser (37:23).
Brent Bueche hopped out of the car from
an 8 hour trip and still managed to take
the Grandmasters title in
33:11, with Robin Miller taking the female Grandmasters in 39:26. Senior Grandmasters titles went to Mike
Morris (36:55) and Shirley
Sirois (54:05).
Larry Brede set a new
Clydesdale record at 32:49
and Sarah Bowen took the Athena race in
46:07.
We packed about as many people in
this race as we could with 198 registered
and 176 finishers.
On the women’s side Rebecca
McDowell took the title in 31:27, narrowly missing the course record by five
seconds. Susan Roberts took 2nd in
36:22 with Missie Gregory hot on her
heels in 3rd at 36:42.
Post-race is where the fun really begins with this race as the band played, the
beer flowed and the BBQ went down the
hatch! Thanks to the folks at Mill House
for hosting us and providing a great BBQ
dinner.
Masters titles went to Kevin Fitzgerald
As always, a host of volunteers helped
with the race (many helped before the
race, ran the race, and helped after the
race!). Many thanks to Troy and Lindsay Rebert, Angie Schmidt,

NO HEAT WAVE FOR 2013
LAKESHORE TRAIL TREK
Kathy Smith, race director
O
n a beautiful Saturday morning
on June 22nd, one hundred area
trail runners met near Greenback to run this year’s Lakeshore trail
race, staged by the Knoxville Track Club’s
Treadin’ Trodden Trails
committee.
This year’s race
started at the bridge
at Coytee and went north toward the
Glendale Community. The race offered a
4 or 8 mile option. Both distances consisted of an out and back on Glendale trail
catching Coytee loop on the return.
When the race started at 9 am, temperatures hovered comfortably in the low
70’s but quickly began to climb into the
80’s with increased humidity. Still,
Mother Nature was much more kind this
year in keeping temperatures below last
year’s 90 degree mark. The mostly
singletrack trail traversed the shores of
Tellico Lake, offering some great views
and an occasional breeze. There were a
few rolling hills but nothing too steep,
and though a few
spots required root
and rock hopping, the
race courses were not
too technical and were
quite runnable by all accounts.
There were 58 finishers for the 8 mile
race, with Matt Stegall (1:05:28) and
Andrea Ludwig (1:08:47) taking the top
overall male and female spots. Winners
of the 4 mile race were Andrew Terrence
(34:26) and Amy Norris (37:32) with 33
runners completing the course.
All participants crossing the finish line
were smiling and seemed to enjoy the
course. For many it was the first time
they had the opportunity to run on the
Lakeshore trails. Thanks to Lou
Livingston and the Adopt a Trail folks the
trails were in excellent conditions. In the
wake of the recent storms and heavy
rainfall, they worked hard getting all the
trails cleared and tall grasses mowed for
a safe and fast course. A few finishers
missed the cut back into the woods from
the road near the finish and ended up
finishing in reverse style. Thanks to some
early finishers who went back out on the
course to help guide participants in the
right direction.
Thanks to all the Treadin Trodden
Trail Committee members who pitched
in to make sure all aspects of the event
went smoothly. It was a fun day spent in
the sun. We’ll look forward to seeing
everyone next year for the 2014 Trek.

RAIN HOLDS OFF AND RUNNERS
BURN IT UP AT 29TH FIREBALL
John LeCroy, race director
D
espite the looming rain and thun
derstorms, a large number of
runners turned out for the 29th
Annual Pilot Fireball Moonlight Classic.
With temperatures close
to 70 and cloudy skies, we
still had 1418 runners registered to race. Thank
you to all of the participants who came out for
the event to make it an
exciting night.
Darren Brown took the overall win,
covering the five kilometer course in
15:00. Darren’s 4:50 pace set the tone
for the night’s race, with many finishers
setting PRs on the course. Spectators
were cheering the racers on as Ethan
Coffey finished second with a time of
15:21 and Andy Baksa finished third with
a time of 15:26.
Gina Rouse was female winner with a
time of 17:57, while returning racer
Rebecca McDowell took second place.
Joanna Thompson placed third, heating
up the female competition with an exciting finish.
Top finishers in the Masters Division
include Kevin Fitzgerald (17:28) from
Sevierville for the males and Valerie
Bachman (21:03) from Knoxville for the
females. Top Grandmasters were Greg
Johnson from Knoxville and Robin Miller
from Maryville. Top Senior Grandmasters were Guy Giles from Knoxville and
Susan Keener from Maryville.
Thank you to our title sponsor, Pilot
Corporation, for their continued support
of this great family event. Thanks goes
to our other sponsors including Runners
Market, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Tim
Hathaway/Realty Executives, Rita’s Italian Ice, The Shoe Carnival, TN Sports
Medicine Group, and UT Federal Credit
Union. Many thanks go to the volunteers and agencies that
make this race possible.
The Knoxville Police Department and the Knoxville Fire Department
helped keep
this race safe and family
friendly.
Special thanks go to Runners Market for their continuing support and generous
donations for door prizes. In
addition, Runner’s Market and Dick’s
Sporting Goods supported the event by
generously hosting packet pickup for the
race. Thank you to Kevin Mahan and
Endurance Sports Management for helping make the race day run smoothly.
Again, the success of the race depends
on so many things coming together
through the efforts of many
volunteers. Due to the efforts of volunteers working
packet pickup, setting up
water stops, registration,
snack tables, data entry, sorting shirts, stuffing goody
bags, picking up trash, etc.
the 29th Annual Pilot Fireball
Moonlight Classic was a
huge success. See you again next year!
