15 tips from the RRCA
RUNNING
SAFETY
♦
Don't wear headsets! Use your
ears to be aware of your surroundings.
♦
Carry a change for a phone call.
♦
Write down or leave word of the
direction of your run. Tell friends of
your favorite running routes.
♦
Run with a partner.
♦
Run in familiar areas. In
unfamiliar areas, contact a local RRCA
club or running store. Know where
telephones, open businesses and
stores are located. Alter your route
pattern.
♦
Always stay alert. The more aware
you are, the less vulnerable you are.
♦
Avoid unpopulated areas,
deserted streets and overgrown trails.
Especially avoid unlit areas at night.
Run clear of parked cars or bushes.
♦
Carry identification or write your
name, phone number and blood type
on the inside sole of your running
shoe. Include any medical information. Don't wear jewelry.
♦
Ignore verbal harassment.
Use
discretion in acknowledging strangers. Look directly at others and be
observant, but keep your distance and
keep moving.
♦
Run against traffic so you can
observe approaching automobiles.
♦
Wear reflective material if you
must run before dawn or after dark.
♦
Use your intuition about a person
or an area. React to your intuition;
avoid an area or person if you feel
unsure.
♦
Practice memorizing license tags
or identifying characteristics of
strangers.
♦
Carry
a whistle or noisemaker.
♦
CALL THE POLICE IMMEDIATELY if something happens to you
or someone else, or if you notice
anything out of the ordinary.

A Message From Our Club President
Larry Brede, new KTC President
I
am honored that the KTC’s Board of
Directors selected me to serve as the
club’s next President. I have a passion for the club, for our members, and
for what we bring to the community, and
I’m glad to be able to serve you in this
capacity for the next two years.
I first joined the KTC after stumbling
onto the Autumnfest 8k in 1999. I’d lived
in Knoxville for a few years prior to that
date, but hadn’t entered a road race until
some of my family came to town for the
holiday weekend and we all entered as a
group. I really enjoyed the event, the
people, and the professionalism exhibited by the Race Director and volunteers, and became an active race par-
ticipant and volunteer within the year.
In 2003 Allan Morgan, the club’s
Executive Director at the time, asked
if I would serve as Race Director
for the Summer Solstice 8k. I
agreed to do so, and with
that began a deep affiliation
with the club that continues to this day. I’ve had the
pleasure of serving for years
as a Race Director of both
road and trail races, served
four years on the Long Distance Committee and two years on
the Trail Committee, and served on the
Board of Directors from 2006 – 2007 and
again in 2014 – 2015 as the Secretary. I
really enjoy racing and volunteering at
events, seeing club members having fun
at our events, and seeing the tangible
impacts the KTC has on our
community through our
host of programs.
With my wife and
daughters active in the
club, and my best
friends as fellow club
members I run and socialize with, the KTC is
a huge part of my life. I’m
excited to be entering this latest chapter serving the KTC’s Board of
Directors and membership. I look forward to seeing you at our events!

Notes From Your Executive Director
LOOKING AHEAD
Kristy Altman, KTC Executive Director

015 went so quickly. I woke up and
it was January and then turned
around and it was the end of December. Wow.
It was fun. Really fun.
Some days and weeks
were hard. Really hard.
That’s life.
The good news is that
looking ahead to 2016, I think
KTC is in for good times. Really good
times.
KTC has an amazing foundation of
experienced staff members and key vol-
unteers. There is an amazing group of
race day volunteers ready and willing to
jump in and help. KTC has the greatest
participants in the nation who
are excited about health and
wellness and their personal
fitness journeys.
this crazy wild excited feeling.
I reflect back on years
past when I had this job
previously and I don’t remember ever having the
feeling that I have right now.
Every day, every month, every
year bring opportunities to learn and
grow and do better than you did the day
before.
2016 is going to be a great year. A
really great year.
This is your track club. I think I am so
excited because all of you are so excited
about KTC. I have this feeling of excitement because of the excitement and pride
that each of you have for KTC.
Time to log some miles!

Burning Candles
W
e all burn candles at one, two,
three or more ends, in
pursuit of running and fitness
goals, while still working to make our lives
rich and full, ourfamilieshappyand healthy,
our careers fulfilling and profitable.
Those who’ve read my ramblings over
the years I’ve been writing for Footnotes
have heard me allude to a past life during
which I spent many a night in front of
crowds of strangers with a guitar or a
bass strapped around my neck. And
though it’s been twenty-five years — er,
guess it’s 26 now — since I became
involved with KTC, my life as a musician
lasted even longer than that, from my
high school days through my mid-forties, overlapping the first few years I
rediscovered running, pausing for a brief
two decades, then being reborn in my
mid-sixties. More on that later.
Those years when I tried to be both a
runner and a musician were full of round
the clock incongruity. In addition to
those two avocations, I worked during
the day as a landscape designer and
installer, specializing in rock gardens and
flagstone walkways interspersed with
native shrubs, trees, and wildflowers.
Many a day I spent kneeling in frozen
mud planting flowers and shrubs,
drystacking fieldstone walls, and moving
five hundred pound boulders with a long
steel prybar, only to race home to my
small cabin in Loudon County and do my
best to scrub off the crusted remnants of
the day’s work, throw together a decent
meal, and load my bass guitar and amplifier into my vehicle for the night’s efforts
at the club. When that was done at one
or two in the morning — sometimes later
than that — back into my truck or car
went the music equipment and back
toward Loudon County went one tired
and grimy musician/landscaper/runner.
Oh, yeah. Runner. That’s what this
magazine is about. Friday night gigs
often led to Saturday morning races, and
depending on the location of the race and
time of its start, there was never much
time for sleeping. Sometimes, leaving the
club at two-thirty, it made little sense to
waste time driving all the way home.
Instead I drove to the race venue, parked
and locked my truck, and did my best to
stretch out across the seat to grab a few
hours of badly needed shuteye. I can’t

say that many PRs followed nights like
that, but I was a fairly young, relatively
newbie runner in those years, and always
managed to get to the starting line.
But after a few years of that, I grew
tired of burning the candle at three ends.
Life intervened, bringing a wife, a stepson, and then my own son into what had
been a comfortable if somewhat timechallenged lifestyle. And to be honest,
standing on stage, trying to sing while
breathing in all that secondhand smoke,
and dealing with drunks both friendly and
unfriendly had grown old. At about the
same time, though my landscape business was doing fine, I got an offer to
manage an incipient little running store
that I still manage today, more than
twenty years later. Coupled with my
discovery of the KTC, my life became
fully immersed and invested in running.
Fast forward those twenty-plus years
and twenty thousand-plus miles, and in
spite of the fact that I’ve run no miles in
the past seven of those years, my identity
is still that of a runner. Just one who
doesn’t run. (There’s lots of us out
there.) I’m still with Runners Market,
though easing back in preparation for
eventual retirement, and still working
hard for the club, putting out this magazine every other month, maintaining the
website on a nearly everyday basis, and
enjoying the heck out of directing the best
little trail running series in these parts.
But I’ve rediscovered my guitar, as
well. No, I’m not returning to the big
stage, even though I have fond memories
of opening up for legends like Leon
Russell, Edgar Winter, Delbert
McClinton, and the likes. Instead I’ve
found myself getting together with friends,
sitting in a circle trading tunes and trading
licks just for the sheer fun of it. When I
first started back, I was rusty as heck,
and my fingers stung and ached after just
a few songs. But I’m making it back,
toughening up my fingertips and reremembering a few hundred of the thousands of tunes I once knew. But getting
together to play music with my friends
after an eight hour day at RM does take
a lot out of me. At this age, burning the
candle at two ends is plenty. I really don’t
know how I did what I did. But I don’t
regret a day of it. It’s led me to this point
in my life, a point I’m enjoying quite a lot.

KTC GEARING UP FOR
12TH ANNUAL CHKM
Jason Altman, Director, Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon
A
s 2015 wraps up and 2016
begins, the days until the Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon
quickly approach. Folks who plan to do
the full marathon should be training by
now. We started our Saturday group
runs December 5th and have had a great
turnout thus far. Sponsored by Health
Shoppe, Knoxville Performance Lab, and
ZenEvo Dark Chocolate, the group training runs are offered at no charge to
participants wanting to attend. We provide water on the course along with postrun refreshments and snacks. Our half
marathon trainees will join us starting on
January 9. For a listing of dates and
locations where we will meet in the new
year, visit knoxvillemarathon.com.
In November, we held our annual
Fittest Company Challenge Luncheon.
On November 24, Pilot Flying J hosted
the informational session on the Chal-
lenge. Sponsored by Humana, this
year’s Fittest Company Challenge is an
opportunity for friendly competition
among area businesses during all the
marathon events. For each employee
who finishes a race, the company will
receive 1 point per
mile finished. (26.2
points for the marathon, 13.1 points for
the half marathon,
etc.). Our luncheon
was a free informational session for area
human resource representatives and wellness representatives to learn about the Challenge and
receive ideas on how to promote and
recruit their employees to participate in
the CHKM and its events. If you or
someone from your company missed
out, please contact me for a recap of the
presentation.
Come January 30, our annual Covenant Kids Run “Marathon” program will
kickoff at the Knoxville Zoo. Registration
will open at 10 am and the run/walk will
start at 12 pm. Children 8th grade and
younger can participate in the Covenant
Kids Run. Admission to the zoo is free
for each child who registers and one
accompanying guest. All other admissions are half-price. The registration fee
is $15 and this also covers the child’s
registration for the official Covenant Kids
Run on April 2. By participating, kids can
run a “marathon”. Each child receives a
log book to start tracking his or her miles
and exercise between the Zoo run and the
official CKR on April 2. Kids can finish
the last mile of the marathon on the 50yard line of UT’s Neyland Stadium – just
like the adults!
We are excited to announce that we
are offering $4,000 in prize money to area
schools through our
Fittest School Challenge. The Challenge
is sponsored by
Children’s Hospital’s
Childhood Obesity
Coaltion, and we are
able to offer this incentive to area schools in
nine counties. (Anderson, Blount,
Hamblen, Jefferson, Knox, Loudon,
Roane, Sevier, and Union). Winning
schools are based upon the highest percentage of student population participating in the April 2 Covenant Kids Run.
(Fast or slow, all kids count the same in
the challenge. We are encouraging
participation!) To be counted toward
their school’s total, a child needs to
participate in the April 2 Covenant Kids
Run and identify their school during
registration. Prize money and plaques
will be awarded to the winning schools
after the race.
Registration numbers for our 12th
CHKM are soaring! After our price
increase on December 1, we were on
pace for a record breaking turnout for
2016.
Looking to volunteer? I am still in
need of some key volunteers to serve on
the 2016 Marathon Organizing Committee. If interested, please contact me at
[email protected] for more
information. Happy New Year!
Provisions for Better Training
Long-term Cardiac
Effects of
Endurance Training
Dr. Kevin Sprouse
KTC member and Sports Medicine physician
M
ultiple times every week, you
lace up your shoes and head
out for a run. It may be a short
jaunt on the greenway, or it might be a
long training run in preparation for an
upcoming marathon or ultra event.
Even if you are someone who
does not generally compete
in long-distance events, your
mileage still begins to stack
up over the course of a month,
a year, a decade. Why do you
do it? I would imagine
that if everyone wrote
down the top three reasons they choose to train
and compete, “better health” would show
up on more than 95% of the responses.
Running is healthy, right? Exercise is
good, isn’t it? Lately there have been
many articles in magazines (like Outside
and Runner’s World) and newspapers
(The Wall Street Journal and The New
York Times) which have brought awareness to the fact that exercise isn’t always
good.
Now… first things first. Exercise is
DEFINITELY better than being sedentary. Regular aerobic training has amazing benefits that impact many aspects of
one’s health. The question isn’t whether
running is bad for you. The question is,
“what risks arise with increased levels of
training?”
As with many things in life, too much
of a good thing can cause problems. The
same is true with endurance exercise. Of
course, increased training volume can
predispose an athlete to overuse injuries
like tendonitis, however, those injuries
are not the focus of this article. Instead,
we’re going to look at potential cardiac
problems that arise. In fact, we’re going
to narrow our discussion to atrial
fibrillation, which is by far the
most common cardiac
problem encountered by
runners as a result of years
of training.
So, what is atrial fibrillation or “A-fib”? Dr. Brian
Adams, an interventional
cardiologist (and runner) at
the Knoxville Heart Group, defines A-fib
as, “a loss of the normal electrical conduction… resulting in an irregular and
frequently very rapid heart rate and loss
of synchronized contraction of the top
and bottom (ventricles) of the heart.”
The coordination of the heart’s chambers
during contraction is lost, and the heartbeat becomes very inefficient.
We are still not certain why long-term
endurance athletes seem to be at increased risk for A-fib, but there are a few
theories. Most likely is that years of
training and continual workload on the
heart leads to some scar formation in the
heart muscle. These scars, visible on a
cardiac MRI, cause a disruption in the
electrical pathways within the heart.
When this electrical signal is interrupted
or re-routed, the chambers of the heart
lose the coordinated contraction pattern.
One frequently asked question is
whether the increased incidence of A-fib
in endurance athletes is a new phenomenon or just more recognized today. It’s
hard to say for certain, but it seems to be
both. Diagnostic technology has improved, but so have the number of lifelong athletes. It is not uncommon to see
runners training and competing into their
6th and 7th decades, but that has not been
the case in generations past. Now that
we have more people engaging in endurance training throughout their 40s, 50s,
60s, and beyond, we are starting to see
how their bodies respond to that
workload. Again, it is an overwhelmingly good thing! However, you can
have too much of a good thing. Dr.
Adams points out that studies indicate an
increased cardiac risk between 2% to
10% for runners. The higher risk appears to be real, but it’s not a huge risk.
The incidence of A-fib in runners is
related to cumulative cardiac stress. The
more you run, the greater your chances
of developing A-fib. Intensity plays a
role as well. Training load is the combined effect of volume (time training) and
intensity (how hard you train). Increases
in either will increase the load on your
body. Added load is not bad, unless you
take it too far. Ultra-distance athletes
seem to be at greater risk, which makes
sense given the escalation in cumulative
training load.
As Dr. Adams points out, “It is not
definitively known whether certain medications can decrease the risk” of developing A-fib. However, there do seem to be
some training and lifestyle modifications
which may lessen your chances of developing this condition. You don’t have to
give up long runs, marathons, or ultra
events entirely. However, you should be
smart about it.
♦ Take time to recover. Those rest
days and recovery periods are crucial to
your health, and they will ultimately improve your fitness as well.
♦ Modulate both your volume and
intensity in your training schedule. Don’t
just run longer as you get fitter. Periodically work on intensity while decreasing
volume.
♦ Listen to your body. When you are
m,x continued on page 11 ,cx
Cardiac
Effects
m,x continued from page 10 ,cx
fatigued, take the time to rest. When you
feel great, it’s ok push your training.
♦ Wear a heart rate monitor. I’ve had
a number of athletes who told me they
had an “odd feeling” or palpitations during a workout. When we evaluated their
training files, we saw the first evidence of
A-fib.
♦ It may be prudent to have an EKG
as part of your health maintenance visits
with your physician. Dr. Adams says
that there are no recommendations for
routine EKGs in runners without symptoms, but there is a movement within the
sports cardiology and sports medicine
communities to do more screening and
baseline EKGs in athletes.
♦ Live a healthy lifestyle outside of
running. Many athletes who develop
cardiac problems have failed to follow
standard medical advice, thinking that
exercise will offset their lack of sleep,
high stress levels, poor diet, excessive
sugar intake, smoking, or alcohol consumption. In fact, those “type A” personalities that train hard tend to live hard
as well. It’s a common confounder in the
academic studies. The Wall Street Journal article citing a study on the dangers of
exercise failed to account for the fact that
many of the athlete participants were
smokers (or former smokers), heavy
users of alcohol, had terrible lipid profiles, and had some scary family histories
as well.
If you are diagnosed with A-fib, all is
not lost. This is a condition that can be
effectively treated, allowing you to run
again. Dr. Adams says, “In general,
treatment is indicated to either restore
normal atrial conduction (rhythm control) or slow the heart rate (rate control).”
For athletes, “rate control” is a treatment
which is sometimes less optimal. Taking
a medication which slows the heart’s rate
and responsiveness will negatively impact your training and racing. An
otherwise healthy patient may be a candidate for an ablation, a procedure which
disrupts the rogue electrical pathway or
scar in the heart muscle. This can restore
a normal rhythm and allow you to run
again.
Ultimately, exercise is a very good
thing for your health and your heart, and
up to a point, more exercise is probably
better. But you can overdo anything.
Train hard, but recover well. Maintain a
healthy lifestyle outside of running. And
most importantly, talk to your doctor
about how you can address your individual risk factors.

Twelve months, twelve races. 2014 and
2015 proved us right, as monthly trail
races ran efficiently without overtaxing
the hard-charging TTT committee. Our
2016 schedule, which I’ll describe below,
will follow the same formula.
Michael deLisle, Trail Series Director
What a Year!
he twelfth edition of KTC’s venerated off-road running series was
nothing short of a doozy! Our first
full season of kids’ races, our first night
race, our first 50k, on top of all the other
craziness and festive gettogethers that the Treadin’ Trodden Trails crew has become
known for. What a ride! What
a year!
T
cluded two races, it will still not a full
twelve months of trail racing.
For the first several years
we made no attempt to offer a
year-round slate of events. As
recently as 2010, we only scheduled
races from March through September,
and while some months might have in-
It wasn’t till 2012 that we
took the plunge. Fearing a
January whiteout or a 33 degree downpour of freezing slush, we
bravely scheduled the first Wanderers’
Trail Race for mid-January in the woods
behind Maryville College. We were
stunned when 250 people, more than
double any previous TTT race, assembled
at the starting line. We went through half
our year’s supply of T-shirts at the first
event!
DON’ T FORGET...
T
he fourth annual Dirty
South Trail Half Marathon
and Dirty Double races are
coming up on February 13.
It’s a grand opportunity to
tour Knoxville’s glorious
Urban Wilderness with a
couple hundred of your best
trail running friends. Register
online or by mail. It’s a great
deal for a great race!
BE PART OF EAST
TENNESSEE’S
MOST EXCITING
TRAIL SERIES!
In 2011, however, we began to up the
ante. Our first race, the Wild West
Ridge Run, was in February,
while our final run, the North
Boundary Challenge, occurred
in October. Heading in the
right direction.
As the most successful season of trail
racing drew to a close in mid-October (!)
we offered our 2013 schedule, our most
ambitious slate of trail races ever. Rather
than end in October or November, we
slotted races in every month, some
months more than one. And while numbers continued to grow incrementally,
we found that, even though our committee had grown at what we thought was a
commensurate rate, we’d finally reached
our limits. Putting on races that were
sometimes only two or three weeks apart
taxed the energy and time of our volunteer base to an extent that we were
actually glad when, due to the government shutdown in late ‘13, we were
forced to cancel the North Boundary
race, which ran entirely on DOE managed land.
We’d reached the magic formula.
A word about the committee. Fully
two dozen people have contributed of
their time, energy, and creativity over
these twelve years. Some stayed on for
a year or two, others much longer. Bobby
Glenn, who knows a thing or two about
trail racing, as he’s directed the Big South
Fork Trail Race since its inception more
than twenty years ago, has been a prime
moving force for eight years. Tony
Owens and Laura Gearahiser have been
stalwart TTTers for six. Several have
hung in there for five, including the late
Kerry Trammell, who was on the first
trail committee assembled by KTC and
would certainly still be onboard if not for
his untimely passing in 2013.
To all these folks, and to all those
who’ve volunteered to help with anywhere from a couple to dozens of trail
races, I offer my deep thanks. This has
been a labor of love from day one, since
long before I was forced to the sidelines
by injury.
And so it’s onward and upward as the
2016 Treadin’ Trodden Trails season
kicks off with our biggest race, the Wanderers’ Trail Race, a four mile jaunt on
mostly level, wooded ground. It’s our
shortest and easiest race, perfect to kick
off the season, to allow folks to ease back
into things after a festive — and in many
cases, hedonistic — foray through the
holidays. It’s coming up on Sunday,
January 17, at 2:00 pm; online registration is open and entry forms are printed
in the pages of this issue of Footnotes.
We’re moving the Dirty South Trail
Half Marathon and Dirty Double from
March to February, actually hoping for
cooler temperatures. The past two years
have been delightful for spectators but a
bit warm for the runners. DS/DD will
take place on Saturday, February 13,
availing trail runners a choice opportunity
to tour Knoxville’s fantastic Urban Wilderness trail system. Don’t miss it.

Bearden High’s
Joshua Sobota
We are very competitive, but respect
each other’s strengths and talents. Jacob
has encouraged me to become more than
just a bulky thrower, but an all-around
athlete. We work out together in the
weight room three times a week.

or this issue of Footnotes
High School Spotlight, our
featured high school studentathlete is Joshua Sobota, from
Bearden High School. Joshua
placed 5th in Shot and 6th in the
Discus in the 2015 TSSAA State
Track and Field Championships,
earning All-State in both events as
a freshman!
I have featured many high school
standouts in previous Footnotes
issues, and I always get feedback
from the head coach for each
article. This feature is a bit
different, because Joshua is part
of the Bearden High Team of which
I am the coach.
Josh certainly is well deserving of
this spotlight achieving All-State in
two events as a Freshman. Much
of the last season he was spread
thin trying to do two sports at once.
He did amazingly well, despite
this. I feel that there is so much
more Josh can achieve. He has
incredible talent and potential, and
our Bearden throwing coach,
Sarah Canter, has great experience
and knowledge. I am looking
forward to see what this season
and future seasons Josh can

know a bit more about our
featured student-athlete!
winning 16 national medals with six of
those being national titles. I am also
proud of placing in both the shot and
discus at the TSSAA state championships.
When did you start throwing and
why?
I started throwing when I was about
7 years old. The Knoxville Track Club
used to have Saturday fun meets in the
month of June at Tom Black Track. The
first year I participated, I made the
competitive team and
competed in the
AAU
National
Championships here
in Knoxville. I placed
in the top 25 of shot
put without even putting much time or
training into the
event. At the time, I
thought if I would
put a bit of time and
effort into training, I
would be pretty
good. The following
year, I ended up placing 7th in the triathlon
and 2nd in the shot put at the AAU
National Championships in Detroit, MI.
What are your goals?
accomDiscus?
My goals for the coming year are to
place in the top three in both the shot put
and discus at the TSSAA State Championships. This summer, my goals are to
win another national title in both the shot
and disc.
My biggest accomplishments in the
shot and discus are making it to the AAU
National Championships year after year
and the TSSAA State Championships last
year as a freshman. I am most proud of

My fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Evelyn
Stuart at Rocky Hill Elementary, has
been one of my favorite teachers. She
was very challenging and rigorous. She
taught me how to be better organized and
prepared me for the tough academic
work in middle and high school.
What are you must proud of
academically?
I am most proud of my grades. I have
work hard, but it
pays off.
What do you
enjoy about being part of the
Bearden High
Track Team?
I like spending
time with my teammates and competing with my brother
Jacob. I also enjoy
the other throwers
along with the
throwing coach (Sarah Canter) because
they are all nice and
respectful.
What has been an obstacle in
your life, and how have you overcome it?
An obstacle in my life has been
procrastination both in school and in
sports. I have overcome it by doing my
best to focus even though at times both
school and track can seem a little overwhelming.

I do not have any rituals I do before I
throw, I just try to get focused and
relaxed.
by Ethan Coffey
Outgoing Chair - Road Race Committee
What has been the best advice
your coach has given you?
CHANGES IN ST
ORE
STORE
FOR 2016
Staying relaxed and don’t try to show
off in life and in the ring.
Who has been your biggest role
model on or off the “field”?
My biggest role-model would probably be my throwing coaches(Garland
Porter, Tavis Bailey, Sarah Canter) because they have improved my throwing
abilities and my ability to work hard, be
kinder and more respectful to others
(not that I was mean when I was
younger).
What is your favorite movie?
Non-stop, because it is suspenseful
and action packed.
If you’re chillin out to some
music, and I took a listen, what
would I hear?
Fast-past upbeat music. Pop, rock
and sometimes rap.
Your parents are very supportive of you and your brother. As
a coach, I m so appreciative of
how they support our Bearden
Track Team, as well. What is the
best advice they have given to
you?
T
he Long Distance (LD) Committee had its last meeting of
2015 on October 8 at the
Bearden Beer Market. In attendance
were Ethan Coffey (chair), Scott
Schmidt, Ray Wilson,
Lindsay Rebert, Rebecca
Auble, Troy Rebert,
Julia Conner (KTC
Team Coordinator),
and Kristy Altman
(KTC Executive Director).
We have been discussing ways to make participating in the KTC Team Competition easier and more straightforward. Based on a meeting in September with several team captains
and sponsors, we decided to make a
change to the way the team competition is handled. Starting in 2016, all
KTC Grand Prix points score towards the team competition for the
year. This means that every KTC
Grand Prix Series race will be a
chance for team members to contribute points to their team.
To be kind and respectful to all people.
Ok, I get you’re only a sophomore, but any plans post high
school?
I am not thinking much after highschool right now. However, I would like
to throw in college and perhaps professionally in the future.
T
he Knoxville Track Club wishes you
the best of luck this season, Joshua!
As in years past, Grand Prix points
are given to the top three overall men
and women, the top male and female
masters, grandmasters and veterans
runners, the top five males and females in each age group, and the top
five Athena and Clydesdale runners.
In order to be able to score points for
your team, all you have to do is
choose your team name when you
register online (if you are the first to
register you may need to create a
team but after that each member of
your team will be able to choose that
option). Each team member will still
receive a $5 discount on their registration but must register online. Race
day entrants cannot be added
to a team. At the end of
the year the team with
the most total points
will receive the Eddie
Reymond
Cup.
Scores will be cumulatively added to each
team’s total throughout
the year so a person’s
points will count for the team
he or she was on at the time of the
race.
Also, we decided to add a Summer Race Series, similar to the Winter Long Distance Series. The races
in the series will be the New Balance
Knoxville Summer Solstice 7K, Pilot
Fireball Classic 5K, Shawns.com
Carter Mill 10K, and Pigeon Forge
Midnight 8K. Runners will receive a
discount by registering for the series
and every participant who runs three
races and volunteers at one will receive some sweet swag.
The LD Committee is a volunteer
group consisting of KTC members
and race directors. It meets every
two to three months and its purpose
is to improve the race experience for
all KTC race participants. If you are
interested in participating, contact
Knoxville Track Club Executive Director Kristy Altman by email at
[email protected].
Confessions of a
Social Jogger
by Lauren Chiles, KTC Social Director
A view fr
om the rear
from
S
o as we enter January you might
wonder, “Lauren, what are your
New Year’s resolutions?”
And I’d think, “I don’t make
them. The world has enough
disappointment” and then
mumble something to you
about not choking during
a half marathon. And I’d
mean both literally and
metaphorically choking. So
that’s like two resolutions
right there, so now you can
leave me alone.
However, if I have to come up with
some resolutions, and for the purposes
of this Footnotes article, I’d better, or
Editor deLisle would be unhappy with
the brevity, I’ll present them below.
♦ I resolve to not get sick before a
big race. Sure it might require some
extensive use of hand sanitizer and
some OCD that does not come naturally to me, but I can try.
♦ I will log my miles on a calendar
or log other than my Garmin app. Ok,
I think we’ve established that I’m type
B. I don’t like to spend time with
excessive mundane tasks. But I know
I should know the miles I’m running.
Who am I kidding? The Garmin app
works just fine. Why double the work?
♦ I will not leave a place where I’m
watching the game to finish watching
at home until I’ve double-checked it’s
on a channel at home. So I’m not typing
a Footnotes article while simultaneously
flipping windows to see a diagram of a
football field with a tiny football moving up and down it.
♦ Try to stop using the term “app”.
And either say “appetizer” or “application”. Sure, it’s a little more work and
nerdier, but way less confusing.
♦ I will remind everyone how great it is to be
a part of a social run.
You get a sense of community, good people to
run with, and well,
some good solid miles.
♦ Try to bring
the “self-portrait” back.
Mainly because the current
term for taking a photo of
yourself drives me batty.
♦ Psychologically torture my cats less. Sure, they might not
understand that words will never hurt
them, but I can stop calling them fat. To
their faces.
If your New Year’s Resolutions involve any of the following: running
more, having more fun, enjoying your
runs more, or meeting your fellow
runners, it’s time to join us for a social
run. We meet at 6 pm on Mondays at
Mellow Mushroom on Cumberland and
Wednesdays at 5:30 pm at the Runners
Market in Bearden. We are a
great community of runners,
let us help you reach your
goals.

Dream Bikes

f you didn’t get your dream bike this
Christmas, doubtless, Santa could
use some help in selecting your gift
for next Christmas.
Great bikes come in steel, carbon,
titanium, and aluminum. There are many
intended purposes: racing, triathlon, urban, plush, touring, off-pavement—the
mind boggles. I want one each! Since we
are dreaming, price is no object. Thanks
to the editorial staff of Bicycling Magazine, we are privileged to review their
pick of “Best Bikes Ever.”
Trek Domane Classico Edition,
$11,950.00, 16.1 pounds (54 cm). A
LEFTOVER
RUN
Andrea Collins, race director
T
he afternoon of December 6, 2015
was perfect for a 5k. KTC’s annual Leftover Run, which supports the Empty Stocking Fund, was a
huge hit, with over a hundred participants and almost $900 raised for the
charity. Generous donations also allowed us to donate over fifty children’s
books to some really special friends.
There were plenty of T-shirts and awards
to go around for everyone from the small
to the tall. The weather was perfect, with
the sun shining down and temperatures
reaching the high 50s.
Thank you to everyone who participated and gave to such an amazing charity and who also helped KTC clean out
our storage locker. Happy Holidays to
all and to all a good night.
pure race bike for top level pro team. Has
the IsoSpeed Decoupler (which I had
never heard of) isolating the seat tube
from the rear triangle—read “bendy seat
tube.” A rare bike only made in 2014.
Trek Domane 6.9 Disc,
$8,300.00, 16.5 pounds (54
cm). “Smooth-riding and classic bike with hydraulic brakes,
Dura-Ace Di2 (electronic shifting), clearance for wide tires
and ability to take fenders!”
And, yes, the IsoSpeed
Decoupler.
Specialized S-Works
Tarmac Disc, $9,500.00, 15.4 pounds
(54 cm). ”We consider the Tarmac one
of the best race bikes ever built, with the
best-shifting (Dura-Ace Di2) and the
best brakes (Shimano 785 Hydraulic Disc)
available.” Wow! Give me two!!
Colnago (legendary Italian builder)
C60, $6,200.00, 15.1 pounds (50
s). “Climbing is a dream on this
bike. It amazed me with every
pedal stroke; feels so perfect.”
“I’m trying to find a reason I
need to buy this bike.”
A titanium bike worth buying for the name alone: Moots
Vamoots DR, $9,900.00,
17.5 pounds (54 cm). “Built in Colorado
for long days in the saddle; glided along
roads elegantly and smoothly; really
shined on descents.”
Alright, we’ll come back a little closer
to the earth. Giant Defy3, $950.00,
20.5 pounds (M). “The only thing that’s
entry-level about this aluminum endurance model is the price and some parts.
This bike is special; the frame is a
More winners: Salsa Vaya 2. Purebred, no nonsense touring for $1,950.00;
Specialized Turbo S, electric-assist
$6,000.00; Breezer Beltway Elite,
$1,619.00 for a quick, agile, full-featured
aluminum commuter.
Although ladies tested some of the
above, there are some bikes specifically
intended for the female gender. Consider
the Specialized Amira SL4 Expert, “a step
down from the S-Works model, with a
carbon frame and Ultegra shifting.”
$3,800.00, 16.1 pounds (48 cm).
Liv Envie Advanced Pro O, $8,300.00,
15.2 pounds (S). Aero bike nails the
details, with deep dish wheels and
Dura-Ace Di2. Says a female
tester, “I don’t think I knew
love until I met this bike.”
Cannondale
CAAD10
Women’s Force will fool you into
thinking its aluminum is carbon
for $2,060.00, 16.7 pounds (48
cm). “More fun than any of the
carbon bikes I’ve tested.”
I have loved every bike I ever owned
starting with the bomb-proof steel single
speed I delivered papers on in the mid1950’s. It was followed by a Raleigh
“English” bike with 3-speeds in the rear
hub. After a gap of a couple of decades,
I developed an interest in triathlons and
started with a Nishiki 10-speed; followed
by an aluminum, steel, and two
carbon road bikes and a sturdy
non-suspension off-pavement
bike and a full suspension offpavement with hydraulic
brakes.
I hated to part with any of
them, but the aluminum bike
was recalled by the factory
because of stress fractures, and my first
carbon bike was stolen. I have kept the
rest of the bikes I bought as an adult
because I just cannot bring myself to part
with them. Each has its attractions,
strengths and weaknesses. Of course,
the weakest element for each bike is the
motor.
Hoping Santa heard your wishes for
a dream bike!
Our March race has been flipflopped
from its former frigid slot in February to
what we hope will be a lot more temperate one in mid-March. Staged at Big
Ridge State Park near Maynardville, the
Dark Hollow Wallow offers two challenging options, an 11-mile race that
includes one of the toughest hills around,
and a 5-mile option that will get your
attention, as well. Even the Kids Run is
a toughie at Dark Hollow. Be there on
March 13!
Last April we were forced to move
our I.C. King of Trails race on short
notice, due to a natural gas pipeline construction project on the part of KUB.
Though the substitute race at Concord
Park was a success, we feared that it’d be
a long time before we’d return to ICK,
due to lingering damages from the construction. Happily, we were wrong, as
remediation efforts by KUB, assisted
ably by the Appalachian Mountain Bike
Club, have the park in fine shape for our
return on April 9. And even though it’s
not Easter weekend, race director Tony
Owens promises a few shenanagins anyway, both for the kiddos and the adults.
Speaking of the kiddos, eight of our
races will include a Kids Trail Mile,
beginning with Wanderers, and continuing with Dark Hollow, I.C. King, Hann
Jive, Hastie, Haw Ridge, and Loyston
Point. Note that when we say a mile,
much like in the adult races, we’re approximating things, “ish” being the operative word.
And speaking of Hann Jivin’ in the
Dark, one of our most exciting events in
2015, we’re gonna try it this year in May
rather than October. A much later sunset
will see runners entering the woods at
8:45 pm, shortly after the conclusion of

the Kids Run. It’ll be interesting to see
what race director Andrea Ludwig will
do to follow up her amazing Halloweenthemed decorations.
In June, we’re trying something new,
a combination road/trail race, exploring
the new trails up on Sharps Ridge. Details are sketchy but stay tuned; it should
be a fun and festive event. Think tacos
and margaritas on a sunny summer morning at 11:00. Whew!
Old favorites abound in summertime,
with a return to the William Hastie Natural Area in July for a 4½ or 9 mile romp
dreicted by Jerry Monroe and an encore
performance of Laura Gearhiser’s Haw
Ridge Trail Race on a warm Saturday
evening in mid-August. We’ll also reprise the grandaddy of them all, the Big
South Fork Trail Race, in late September,
as Bobby Glenn and his tireless team of
yellow jackets welcome everyone to the
beautiful trails of Scott County.
October’s main event has a familiar
name but an all-new venue. Kathy Smith’s
Lakeshore Trail Trek, which has been at
times an 8-miler, a 16-miler, and a full
marathon, will morph into a 16-miler
again, but on completely different trails
than the first one. Our desire is to
introduce everyone to the magnificant
TVA East Lakeshore Trail System in its
entirety. Details on this — and most of
the series — are on the KTC website.
In November we’ll return to Norris
for another Dam Hard Trail Race. The
jury is still out on whether we’ll reprise
the 50-miler, but whether we do or not,
we’ll for sure have the toughest 25k and
50k races in the region. It’s a grand
tradition, one that keeps the most serious
trail runners coming back year after year.
Our final race will be at Loyston Point,
a venue we explored for the first time just
this past month. It was a delightful
discovery, one that inspires us to return
for a longer visit. Again, stay tuned. This
one will be serious fun.
It all stacks up to be the best, most
challenging, and most eminently rewarding seasons of trail racing ever! It’s our
thirteenth year, and we plan on making it
a most lucky experience for everyone
involved. See you on the trails!

Friday. Main parking is across the street
in the old Kroger parking lot. Owens
reported that he has half the pacer slots
filled, at the faster and slower ends of the
spectrum, but still needs some pacers to
fill the slots for the middle groups.
Marathon Director’s Report – J.
Altman submitted a written marathon
report. Registration numbers are
trending up from last year,
but we’re hitting a normal
lull for this time of year.
He has been leading a fall
marketing campaign including setting up booths
at other events and sending brochures to other races
for inclusion in race packets.
Confirmed sponsors updated
since the last board meeting include Pilot
(post-race party sponsor), Y-12, PetSafe,
Humana, Knoxville Endurance, and Runners Market. The training program kicks
off 12/5/15 from the Health Shoppe.
The Youth Program is in mid-session
and going well. The club is in discussion
with Dick’s Sporting Goods to potentially
provide some type of support for the
program as if falls right in line with their
values. Open Streets Knoxville on 10/25/
15 was well attended, including participation in the KTC booth at that event.
Treasurer’s Report – Hepp provided a written report. She provided an
overall review of the 2015 projections
through September. K. Altman is forecasting actual costs versus projections
for the remainder of the year, and Hepp
and Altman will have the year-end projection completed by next week. Altman
is drafting the 2016 budget and it will be
ready for board review at the November
meeting.
Half Marathon Director’s Report
– Update provided by K. Altman. Still
need volunteers for the race on 10/31/15.
Entry numbers are down from last year,
but last year included 293 Girls on the
Run participants who aren’t participating
this year. Without those included participation is up this year. Coordination with
Farragut High School gives us access to

Other Business – K. Altman and
Thewes met with Don Madgett about a
draft proposal Madgett submitted for the
KTC to help support the Knoxville Interscholastic League hold cross country
meets. The KIL holds sevens meets each
year at a cost of approximately $12,000
total. The board approved Altman to
negotiate with Madgett on sponsorship
details to include dollar amount, club
recognition, and the club’s access to send
notifications to participating coaches, with
the end result being a formal proposal
drafted and brought to the board’s November meeting. Altman will include a
tentative cost in the 2016 budget pending
formal approval.
The Long Distance Committee submitted a proposal for the club to donate to
community organizations who, based on
race needs, provide a minimum of ten
volunteers at KTC races. The volunteers
would be placed per the Race Director’s
needs and be coordinated through the
Executive Director and RD. The committee recommends flat rate donations of
$100 for 5k support, $200 for 10k support, and $300 for half marathon support. Multiple groups can participate in
each race until the need is filled. The
board unanimously approved the recommendation as submitted.
Three individuals submitted Post-Collegiate Scholarship applications for board
consideration: Kimberly Hamilton – javelin thrower, Ashley Powell – triathlete,
and Dira Hansen – 800 meter runner.
The board approved all three $500 scholarships for these athletes to pursue their
national pursuits. These athletes are required to author and article for Footnotes
Magazine and to volunteer at a KTC race.
Board members who will sponsor these
athletes as they fulfill these requirements
are Midnight (sponsoring Hamilton),
Thewes (sponsoring Powell), and Noye
(sponsoring Hansen).
The current RunKNOX session is
ending, with the majority of the current
41 members expressing interest in continuing in the next session prior to the
Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon.
As part of the marathon entry in

Minutes of October and November 2015 Meetings
is a participant in RunKNOX and noted
that she’s received a lot of great feedback
from other members about the coaching
provided by Schmidt and his assistants.
Works continues on the Volunteer
Track Classic, with the logo currently
being designed. Chad Culver is preparing
the budget for review, scheduled to be
completed by the end of next week. UT
confirmed April 15 – 16, 2016 is okay for
access to the track (which will be newly
renovated). Officials are confirmed. Need
to get details finalized before the 11/9/15
area coaches’ meeting so the meet can be
incorporated into those coaches’ planning, plus send the details to coaches in
adjacent areas (Chattanooga, Nashville,
Tri-Cities). Thewes can distribute to the
coaches in her network.
The nominating committee provided
their recommendations for individuals to
be placed on the ballot for membership
votes for the next board term (January
2016 – December 2018). After discussion of the recommendations the board
approved the following individuals for
the ballot (with one against and two
abstaining from the vote): Alicia Teubert,
Bob Barber, Corey Jestice, Robyn Smith,
Stephen Long, Suzanne Oliver, Tim
Monroe, Tony Owens, and Wilbur
Hawkins. Per Gearhiser’s suggestion,
Brede will include a short qualification
summary for each individual when the
absentee ballot is sent out for membership consideration.
The board discussed three topics that
will be fully addressed in the November
board meeting. More time or information
is necessary before bringing them to the
board, so they were just highlighted
during this meeting.
♦ The board must approve officers
for those who expire this year no later
than 12/31/15. These positions include
the President, VP, and Secretary.
♦ The nominating committee submitted a draft recommendation for board
term limits (there are currently no term
limits in the by-laws). The board will
decide if a by-laws change is recommended, and if approved in the November board meeting will be added
to the absentee ballot as well
as the ballot at the club’s
annual membership meeting in December for membership consideration.
♦ Discussed conducting races under varying
weather conditions. K.
Altman is drafting a weather
policy to get to the board for approval.
When a version is approved it will be
distributed to Race Directors and posted
on the website.
The meeting adjourned at 8:13 p.m.
The next meeting will be Monday, November 16th, at 6:00 p.m. in the Knoxville
Parks and Recreation building. This is a
change of date and time, and K. Altman
will make notification to the club membership via social media.

he meeting was called to order at
6:06 p.m. In attendance were Brad
Adams, Tony Owens, Shannon
Hepp, Larry Brede, Emily Bolling, Ken
Childs, Laura Gearhiser, Don Graham,
David Huntsinger, Michelle Midnight,
Jamie Niland, Troy Rebert, Scott Schmidt,
and Doug Young. Guests included Kristy
Altman, Jason Altman, Michael deLisle,
David Black, Don Madgett, and Ray
Wilson.
Minutes – The minutes for October
2015 were approved as written.
Guest Introduction – Don Madgett,
the South Doyle High School Cross Country Coach and President of the Knoxville
Interscholastic League (part of the Metro
Knoxville Cross Country Association),
was introduced to the board. KIL hosts a
variety of cross country meets
each fall, including the KIL
Championship and Cherokee Classic Meets at a total
season cost of $10,000 $12,000. KIL and the KTC
have a long history together and KIL views the
KTC as a partner with similar goals. Local high school
cross-country teams pay for entry fees with no assistance from their
school’s budget, and Madgett requested
KTC sponsorship to help offset these
fees for the 2016 season. K. Altman
drafted an agreement that Madgett has
seen for review, and she will distribute to
the board members for their review.
Board members will vote for sponsorship approval at a later meeting.
Executive Director Report – The
Youth Athletics program will end after
next week. With the City of Knoxville
providing bus support, Wilbur Hawkins
and Bob Barber took the kids in the
program to the Fulton High School track
for a workout. It was the first time many
of the kids had run on a track and was
well received.
The KTC is hosting a winter Youth
Greenway Series. The second event is
being held in conjunction with a Boys and
Girls Club event.
Registration for the 2016 first quarter
events is opening. The next two races on
the calendar are the Humana 5k on 11/
22/15, with the KTC providing race management support, and the Autumnfest 5k
on Thanksgiving morning.

KTC BOARD
MINUTES
Marathon Director’s Report – J.
Altman submitted a written marathon
report. Overall registration numbers are
trending up from previous years, with a
slight decrease in the marathon and increases in the other events. The media
team is being selected from employees
from the “Fittest Company Challenge”
companies and will be announced in
December. Members of the Marathon
Advisory Committee are currently working a marathon expo blitz at regional
events. Upcoming events include the
Fittest Company Challenge luncheon on
11/24/15, the marathon training program
once again sponsored by Eddie’s Health
Shoppe on 12/5/15, and the Kid’s Kickoff
run at the Knoxville Zoo on 1/30/15.
Half Marathon Director’s Report
– Wilson provided an overview of the
event, which totaled approximately 1,200
participants. There was a lot of positive
feedback on the course, clothing, and
post-race food. Many of last year’s issues have been resolved, though in the
second year more lessons learned have
been identified and will be addressed
prior to next year’s event. The KTC’s
new policy to provide financial support to
civic organizations worked out well at
this race with groups from Farragut High
School providing great volunteer support. Wilson is working through the final
invoices and should have the final numbers in December.
Treasurer’s Report – Hepp provided a written report. There is no significant change in the club’s balance sheet.
While the Farragut 13.1 numbers are
being finalized, initial indications are it is
close to a break-even event compared to
a $12,000 loss during last year’s inaugural running.
Footnotes/Website/Trail Report
– deLisle provided a written report. Hard
copy Footnotes distribution is down to
about 10% of club membership. deLisle
and K. Altman will be reviewing options
to possibly change hard copy distribu-
tion. Childs scanned back issues of Footnotes from 1997 and they are being
uploaded onto the website.
The Trail Committee just completed
the Norris Dam 25k/50k/50m race over
the past weekend. It was a new course
on a triple loop and took a significant
effort. The committee will tweak it
for next year. The final trail
race of the season is at
Loyston Point on 12/12/
15. After the final race the
Trail Committee will
evaluate the total P&L and
determine the club’s donation to partner organizations for the year. New
for 2016 the trail races will also
be on Run Signup. Also, after years of
$10 entry fees the trail races will increase
to $15 entries next year.
Other Business – K. Altman and
Hepp presented the 2016 budget to the
board. Variation from last year’s budget
include placeholders for potential bonuses for paid staff; expected increases in
revenue from assisted events; anticipated
grants supporting youth programming;
financial support in athlete assistance for
a KTC elite team competing in national
competitions; KTC team entry into Hoodto-Coast and the Bourbon Chase relay;
summer “Thursday Nights at the Track”;
equipment including a new clock, sound
system, and branded tents; the Hall of
Fame banquet; and the Volunteer Track
Classic. The budget is for a break-even
year. Budget approval requires two votes
from the board, and the board unanimously provided the first approval.
Ethan Coffey is stepping down as
chair of the Long Distance Committee.
The committee recommended that
Schmidt be appointed as the new chair;
and Adams formally appointed Schmidt
to the position. Additionally, the committee recommended that its name be changed
the Road Race Committee. The board
approved the name change.
K. Altman and Alicia Teubert have
been discussing a weather policy, part of
what will become an overarching set of
safety guidelines for the KTC events.
Once drafted the policy will go to the
Road Race Committee, Trail Committee,
Marathon Advisory Committee, and
RunKNOX for comment. The board will
probably not see the draft until January at
the earliest.
The board reviewed the proxy ballot
for absentee votes of potential board
members for the January 2016 – December 2018 term, which includes a qualification summary for the nominees approved last month. The board
approved the ballot.
The board conducted
the first approval of club
officers for the January
2016 – December 2017
term. These include Brede
– President, Young – Vice
President, and Teubert –
Secretary. The second vote will
take place at the December board
meeting.
The board discussed adding term limits to the by-laws, which requires a
member vote at the annual meeting. In a
9-to-4 vote (one abstained) the board
approved adding a ballot measure to this
year’s annual meeting. The measure will
be added to the proxy ballot as well as
being included in the annual membership
meeting in-person ballot.
The Hal Canfield Endowment increased to a point where annual scholarship awards can increase from $1,700 to
$2,000. Midnight moved that the scholarship increase to this amount, and rather
than award a single scholarship at $2,000
that it be split into two $1,000 scholarships. The board unanimously approved
the motion.
The meeting adjourned at 7:57 p.m.
The next meeting will be Friday, December 4th, at 6:00 p.m. immediately before
the club’s holiday party, at the Café 4
Square Room on Market Square. This is
a change in time, moved back one hour to
avoid conflict with the Knoxville Christmas Parade, and K. Altman and deLisle
will make the notification and change to
social media and the website.
TRI-BAL KNOWLEDGE
Local Multisport Company
Endurance Sports Management
by Larry Brede
I
f you’ve run a few KTC events, then
odds are you’ve seen (and heard
announcements from) Kevin Mahan
providing race support. Kevin has provided support to KTC events for many,
many years. However, many in the running community don’t know that Kevin
operates Endurance Sports
Management
(ESM), which
he founded in
the fall of 2010.
ESM hosts a
variety
of
events including multisport
events including
both
triathlons and
duathlons, as
well as road
and trail running races. He’s even in the
process of adding open water swim
races in the near future.
sion is to provide safe, well managed
events that provide a great race experience for everyone involved, including the
athletes, volunteers, and spectators. They
work to keep event costs affordable
while structuring their financial model
to donate to charities and groups helping with their
events. ESM
provided approximately
$20,000 to
charity groups
in 2015! They
recognize that
these donations wouldn’t
be possible
without the
support and
participation
of many athletes across the Southeastern USA,
many of who are also members of the
KTC.
Kevin began managing and directing
athletic races in the early 1990s. He
brought 20 years of experience to ESM
when it started in 2010, and adding event
timing to the company’s repertoire. As of
today Kevin has personally directed approximately 300 total races! ESM currently produces and manages 23 of their
own events, and they work with approximately 40 other partner events each year
all across the southeast with venues in
Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina,
Florida, and Alabama. Since this is a
multisport-focused column, it’s great to
highlight that Kevin is one of only ~40
USA Triathlon (USAT) Level 2 certified
Race Directors, and the only one in
Tennessee. He’s also a USAT Century
Club Race Director, having directed over
100 USAT sanctioned events.
ESM is evolving with the times and
trends, and in 2016 is offering BLOCK
PRICING for many of their events to
attract, encourage, and keep athletes participating. Block pricing rewards early
entries by providing huge discounts to
the first entries in a given race, with price
increases in set blocks. Early entries get
the lower prices until they’re gone and it
steps to the next level. ESM block pricing
will have some runs priced as low as $1
and some triathlons as low as $5. Please
visit the ESM web site at
www.EnduranceSportsManagement.com
or like them on Facebook to stay informed and get information on upcoming
events and race deals.
Endurance Sports Management’s viFootnotes Jan 2016 - 24
ESM is partnering with Tennova to
conduct the 2016 Tennova Sprint Race
Series with a variety of multisport events.
These events include:
♦ April 30th – Hammer Duathlon
and Sprint Triathlon
♦ May 7th – Dickson Endurance
Triathlon and Iron Nugget Sprint
Triathlon
♦ May 29th – Double Dip Sprint
Triathlon
♦ June 18th – Tellico Summer Solstice Sprint Triathlon
♦ July 2nd – Secret City Triathlon
♦ July 23rd – Sweetwater Sprint
Triathlon
♦ July 31st – Wild Rose Women’s
Triathlon
♦ August 21st – Tri Fall Creek Falls
Triathlon* (ESM multisport event, but
Triathlon
not part of the sprint series)
♦ September 3rd – Redskin Romp
Sprint Triathlon
♦ September 10th – Tennova Sprint
Triathlon
♦ October 8th – Atomic Duathlon
and Sprint Triathlon
♦ October 9th – Atomic Man
Triathlon* (ESM multisport event, but
not part of the sprint series)
ESM will again provide a 15% race
discount for their events (after the block
packages close for the races where that
applies). Kevin will share that code with
KTC members as he gets it established
before the 2016 season begins in full
swing. Keep your lookout for Kevin and
ESM at KTC events where they regularly
help out and try to get many of our runonly athletes to give multisport a tri!
ADVENTURES OF A KTC POSTCOLLEGIATE

T
he Knoxville Track Club
provides Post-Collegiate
Scholarships to athletes
competing in Track & Field, Road
Racing, and Triathlon at the
National and/or International
level. These $500 scholarships
are awarded to as many as ten
athletes
annually,
with
distribution made each April 1st
and October 1 st . Scholarship
recipients will author an article
in Footnotes to keep us up to
date on what they’re doing,
where they’re competing, and
how their year is going. The KTC
is proud to support these
athletes as they pursue their
competition goals and represent
Knoxville and East Tennessee
around the nation and across the
globe!
T
he start of my 2015 triathlon season was not something I would
call ideal. I began the 2015 season
sidelined and cheering for my fellow
triathletes with the urge to train and
compete in the back of my head. In the
spring of 2015, I was unable to train or
compete due to several months of illness,
and I was unsure if there would even be
a 2015 triathlon season for me. The end
of May came and sure enough I was easing
back into training while slowly starting to
incorporate local sprint triathlons into my
weekend schedule. I was making strides in
the right direction with great race performances despite coming off of an illness only
a short time before.
The USAT Age Group National Championships was one of my goal races for
the 2015 season, and although I did not
train specifically for this race and lacked
a period of base training, I went at it full
force. I competed in both the Sprint and
the Olympic distance races in Milwau-
kee, Wisconsin in August, and I surprised myself with a 14th place finish in
my age group. After my 14th place
finish, I was educated on what the World
Championships and the concept of a roll
down list in the sport of triathlon. I was
informed that I made the roll down list for
the Sprint World Championships in 2016,
and depending on the results of a race in
Clermont, Florida, I might be selected to
compete at the World Championships. I
was beyond excited, as I had no idea that
this was a possibility going into both
races at Nationals and after a spring
season of illness.
After looking at the possibilities and
knowing there was another race in Florida
with automatic qualification
spots for the World Championships available, I decided to register for the
Draft-Legal Sprint Triathlon
World Championship
Qualifier in Clermont,
Florida. I continued to work
closely with Dr. Kevin
Sprouse and began working with Coach Collin
Zimmerman and Nutrition
Coach Betsy Johnson to
gear up for a draft style triathlon. Knowing I only had a couple of short months,
we hit the ground running with the goal
of receiving an automatic bid to the World
Championships.
Race day arrived, and I was super
excited to get after it, although I was
somewhat nervous about the draft-legal
concept of the race as I had never raced
draft-legal before. We made our way to
the beach for a beach start swim. The
gun went off, and then began the quest to
qualify for Worlds. The goal of the swim
was to work towards the front of the
pack and to come out of the water with
other females to bike with. I met the first
race goal, and I ran into the first transition
and was on the bike ready to go. The bike
was four loops and draft-legal. The first
loop of the bike I made my way up to
some other women and pushed past
them, and finally towards the end of the
first loop found a couple of fellow age
groupers that challenged me to go with
them. The group I was riding with then
joined another group of women to push
us against. The draft style of racing was
a blast and as I finished my fourth loop,
I was ready to run! I quickly came to
transition two and geared up for what
was to be a hot, ninety-degree run. I
started the run with a fellow age grouper
and quickly found my
groove. The run was hot
and successful as I neared
the finish line and took it
home. Shortly after the
race, I was told that I placed
first in my age group and
received an automatic bid
to the 2016 Sprint World
Championships
in
Cozumel, Mexico.
All in all, I could have
never dreamed that I would be where I
am today as an athlete, specifically a
triathlete. I would like to give a special
thanks to all of those who continuously
support me in my journey especially
Provision Racing, Dr. Kevin Sprouse,
Coach Collin Zimmerman, and Betsy
Johnson. A special thank you to the
Knoxville Track Club for their support as
selecting me to be their post-collegiate
scholarship recipient.
To all: Continue setting your goals and
work to achieve them; all things are
possible!
KNOXVILLE YOUTH RUNS
KTC’s Inner-City
After School Running Program
by Bob Barber, co-director
I
n March of 2015 the Knoxville Track
Club introduced its new inner-city,
after school running program. The
pilot program was administered at
Christenberry Elementary
School in Knoxville at the
request of their Community School Program Director, Tiffany Davidson.
Community Schools are a
great concept offering various after school educational
programs between 3 and 5
pm.
The KTC pilot program, known as Knoxville Youth Runs, was developed by KTC members Wilbur Hawkins and
Bob Barber. The pilot program at Christenberry Elementary School ran for six weeks in
April and May, every Monday and
Wednesday from 3:45 to 4:45 pm.
The students in grades 1-2 were
coached by Wilbur Hawkins and Ann
Victoria. The students in grades 3-5
were coached by Bob Barber.
The program is a non-competitive
running program. The silver medal
goal of the students was to run a
continuous half mile. The gold medal
goal was to run a continuous mile.
Time was not an initial goal. Time
trials were introduced in the latter weeks
of the program. Other goals included
teamwork, good sportsmanship, good
diet, etc. There is some competition in
the relays and in some of the time trials,
but the overall objective of the program is
to introduce the kids to running and to
have a good time. Runners are allowed
to walk if necessary and all runners are
carefully monitored during the activities.
The second program at Christenberry
began in September and was an eight
week program—again twice a week on
Monday and Wednesday. We moved
the time for the fall program to 3:00 to
4:00 pm. Wilbur and Bob were joined
by Stephanie Windle as coaches.
We have averaged about 25 kids
each day. The accompanying photo
is from our recent fall session, with
our new assistant coach Stephanie.
As you can see the students have
their Milers Club shirts on, which
were given to each student compliments of the KTC.
A typical session begins with a small
8 oz bottle of water, warm-up exercises, followed by some running activities. We end each session with a cool
down, and another small
bottle of water. They
have been taught the importance of hydration,
and why it is important to
warm up and cool down.
Silver and Gold medals
are routinely awarded for
top performances and for
good behavior.
Monday, November
9th we had a field trip to
Fulton High School’s
track. The students had
a ball on the track, running their fastest times of
the fall program. On
Wednesday, November 11 they won
pumpkins (everybody received one).
Also on Wednesday, one third grade
student ran the mile in 8:13 (that
same student has run the half mile in
3:50).
KTC hopes to expand this program
to a second school site in early 2016.
However, we need some volunteers
who could be available on Monday and
Wednesday afternoons from 3-4 pm.
The program is very rewarding. Anyone interested in volunteering as a coach
please contact Wilbur Hawkins at 865766-9755, [email protected]
or Kristy Altman at 805-2008,

Did You Run
Out of “Steam”?
2
015 is behind us. Did you run out
of “steam” as the year ended and
find yourself giving in to those
comfort foods and cozy
evenings indoors?
The best part of cold
evenings and 6:30
darkness is the opportunity to hop on the
cross country ski machine or treadmill while
watching the evening
news. No piles of
leaves to navigate in
the street and no risk
of tripping on limbs in the darkness.
The last month of the year was a
great time for reflection on last year’s
winter training runs in preparation for
KTC’s Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon in the Spring!
Weekend runs at
my favorite places —
Lakeshore Park and
Cherokee Blvd are the
best memories from last
winter and NOW is the
time to think Spring!
Feed your body well
and build the “steam”
for Spring. Stay in the
groove and be ready
for the push up Noelton on KTC
Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon
morning.

THAT NORRIS TRAIL RACE
WAS DAM HARD!
Chris George, race director
T
his year’s Norris Dam Hard Trail
Race provided the usual 25k and
50k distance options, an inaugural 50 mile option and many lessons
learned for the race director. The main
course was an approximate 16½ mile loop that
was not only physically challenging but
also, according to
most runners, quite
challenging to navigate. The challenge
with navigating was proven when half
of the runners for the 25k and 50k
distance options missed the first transition off of High Point Trail across
Upper Clear Creek Road to the lower
part of the Norris watershed leading up
to Trammell’s famous “Butt Slide”. Even
the first and second place runners of the
50 mile option missed the first transition and added a few extra miles to their
total distance. Other navigational challenges included the loop up and around
Observation Point where several runners either circled back to the Grist Mill
aid station or got stuck in an endless
loop up around Observation Point, in
fact there may still be some runners still
stuck on that loop, who knows. Well
if so, at least they have a breathtaking
view.
Along with the inaugural 50 mile option, this year’s race also included an off
course detour that led runners up a steep
power line cut from the Norris Water
Treatment Plan up to the top of Reservoir
Hill where they had to retrieve a poker
chip before descending back down the
way they came in order to continue on the
main course.
It was our intention from the start not
to give anyone the impression this race
was going to be easy, instead, we made
it very clear it was going to be one Dam
Hard Trail Race and it turned out to be
one Dam Hard Trail Race!
50 Mile Option
There were 12 runners who completed the 50 mile race. The Knoxville
Track Club’s very own Bob Adams completed the course,
with few extra miles
added, in 9 hours and
49 minutes. The
2014 winner of the
50k race, Tim Hill,
came in second place, running 10:13,
followed by Nathan Mize (12:19.) Liz
Norred was our first place female, completing the course in 13:56, trailed by
Leah Jones, who ran 14:04. Male Masters winner was Tim Bird (13:30), with
Mark McPhail close behind with a time of
13:42. Kathy Smith was Female Masters
champion, running 14:04.
50k Option
Two female speedsters came in first
and second overall for this year’s 50k.
2014’s Norris Dam Hard Trail Race 50k
female winner, Alondra Moody, came in
first overall in this year’s race, clocking
an excellent 6:54. (editor’s note: Alondra’s
time last year was 5:32, giving an idea
how much tougher this year’s course
was!) Jonnie Mae was runner up, run-
ning 7:15. Marc Caldwell (7:17) was top
overall male finisher, while Brian Whitlock
(9:07) and Ruth Hans (11:31) were
fastest male and female masters runners.
25k Option
The 25k race had two Male Masters at
the front of the pack. Justin Cazana came
in at 3:11 with Doug Holder nipping at
his heels just eight minutes back. Teen
sensation Conner Owens (3:21) was
Open Male winner (and third overall!)
Lorie Wolfe (3:27) was Open Female
winner, while Sarah Starling was Female
Masters winner, clocking 3:35.
The 2015 Norris Dam Hard Trail
Race was a very long day and many
thanks and credit goes out to the numerous volunteers who hung out part or all
day to work the aid stations. We even
had several runners from the 25k and 50k
races who stayed and helped at aid stations after completing their races. The
dedication and willingness of the many
volunteers who month after month help
out with all of the Treadin Trodden Trail
Series races reveals a signature of a close
community of dedicated trail runners
who enjoy a great time and signifies the
heart of the TTT Series year after year.

AUTUMNFEST RACE PROVES
TO BE REGAL ENTERTAINMENT
David Black, race director
T
his longstanding Thanksgiving Day
tradition was another great one for
the Knoxville running community.
Knoxville was blessed with perfect running conditions with race time temps in
the upper 30’s, very little wind and no
rain or snow.
The day started with the Little Gobbler Kids Run. There were over 100
registered for this event, an out and back
up Gay Street with a turnaround in front
of the Regal Entertainment Group’s
Riviera Theatre. The kids tried to chase
down meteorologist Trent Magill of
WATE, who seemed to have as much
fun as they did. The participants each
received a custom finishers medal. This
is the perfect start to a race day and really
feeds the energy level of everyone around.
In 2014 we debuted a new 5k course
for the holiday race
and it proved to be
a fast and beautiful
course. 2015 reminded us how
scenic this downtown course is,
and once again it
was a fast one.
Just over one hundred finishers had
times of 22:00 or
less and we had
over a thousand finishers in total.
Nathan Jones, of Mars Hill, NC, was
the overall winner with a time of 15:13.
Local Ethan Coffey came in second with
a time of 15:22 while Todd Buckingham
of East Lansing, MI rounded out the
three (16:04). We believe that we will
see someone break 15:00 on this course
one day. Also noteworthy, Covenant
Health Knoxville Marathon director Jason Altman donned the turkey suit for the
5k and finished with a time just under
twenty minutes.
Former Knoxvillian Kayla Matrunick
won the women’s division finishing in
18:33. Locals ladies Cassidy Giles (19:17)
and Alicia Teubert
(19:35) took the
second and third
place honors.
Some other
top winners on
the men’s side:
Masters Brent
Bueche (18:33),
Grandmasters
Greg Johnson
(18:54) and Senior Grandmasters Jim
Jones (22:47) For the women’s side:
Masters Jasmin Keller (20:06), Grandmasters Jennifer McKelvey (22:27) and
Senior Grandmasters Teri
Hodges (29:03)
The Knoxville
Track Club encourages lifelong physical
well-being
through running and walking. The demographics for our
Autumnfest race help show how the
running community of Knoxville is making this a reality. The 5k male finishers
ranged from ages 6-81 and the female
finishers from ages 6-76. There were
eighteen combined male and female finishers over the age of 60 and fifty male
and twenty-two female ages 14 & under.
As a race director these numbers mean
just as much to me as the award winners.
It is a wonderful thing to see the wide
range of ages participating in the event.
There were a mix of awards and door
prizes from many area partners. Huge
thanks to our sponsors including Regal
Entertainment Group, Pilot Flying J, Historic Southern Railway Station, Blue Slip
Winery, Calhoun’s, New Balance Knoxville, ZenEvo
Chocolates, Tim
Hathaway Realty, Tennessee
Sports Medicine
Group, Academy
Sports + Outdoors, Endurance
Sports Management and PODS.
Additional thanks
to our door prize
sponsors including Bearden Beer Market, Rainforest Adventure Zoo, and SLS3
Compression Gear.
While many door prizes were given
out during the event, some were saved
until the award ceremony. These included a couple of surprises. Kay
Panzica won free KTC Road Races for
a year and Bryan Givens won a free
entry to one of the Covenant Health
Knoxville Marathon events.
Thank you so much to everyone
who participated in this event, whether
it was as a runner, volunteer, sponsor
or in promotions. We started discussions immediately following the race
on ways to make this bigger and better
in 2016. This is a favorite race for
many and we want to make it as memorable as possible.
SCRAMBLING TOWARD
LOYSTON POINT
Pete Crowley, race director
O
ver 70 runners braved the cold,
dreary, wintry mid-December
weather . . . er . . . scratch that.
Over 70 runners enjoyed
the mild (some
would say
warm) temperature and
dry conditions
in the first
Loyston Point
Scramble, the
final race of
the 2015 KTC
Treadin’
Trodden
Trails series.
As this was the first visit to this course by
the series, all finishers set personal records
and course records were set (not that
those are actually tracked!) for the Female and Male Master and Open divisions. Course records were also set in a
slightly shorter-than-planned Kids Run.
The 1:00pm start time provided adequate time for the cooler, foggier conditions of the early morning to improve,
and by race time conditions were good
for a fun, fast run. The 8ish mile course
covered several varieties of trails in the
Loyston Point recreation area, a TVA
Norris Reservoir facility also known as
Point 19. From well-defined single track
and compacted gravel access roads to the
less-traveled Hemlock Bluff National
Recreation Trail, this course had the
typical roots and rocks but included deep
layers of leaves covering sections of the
course, off-camber footing, a switchback
climb, and a more traditional long-hill
climb. Topping this off were friendly
mountain bikers and a few hunters who
might have decided to return another day
after seeing all of this unusual activity in
the area.
Just over one hour after an uphill start,
overall and open male division winner
Nathan Helton came blazing to the downhill finish, soon followed by first-time
trail runner Trent Stethen. Third place
was lightning
fast 12-year
old Colin
Moody, son
of Alondra
Moody, first
place overall
and open female division
winner.
Male masters winner
Greg Johnson
came in 4th
overall and female masters winner Kathy
Smith crossed the line in 26th place
overall after checking the course markings earlier in the day. At one point, a
stirring rendition of “Happy Birthday”
was sung by supporters and fellow runners as two Quick Chick runners were
finishing the race. Most participants stuck
around after finishing, partaking of the
snacks, chatting, and generally having a
good time with a great community of
runners.
Overall, participants were pleased with
the newest course offered in the series.
The Appalachian Mountain Bike Club
has been working diligently on building
more trails in the area and in concert with
TVA are working on plans for more
miles to be added. As such, there is ample
opportunity to grow this venue for future
KTC Treadin’ Trodden Trails events.
Think Loyston Point Half Marathon.
Congratulations to all of the finishers
and thank you to all of the volunteers and
KTC staff who helped make this race
happen.
We’ll see everyone at the first race of
the 2016 TTT series, the Wanderer’s
Trail Race in Maryville, January 17, 2016!
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.
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.
♦ Avoid running on trails in the evening if they
are not well lit and do not have regular traffic.
♦ Don’t litter. If you can’t find a trash can,
carry your trash home.
♦ 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,
♦ Get approval from local authorities before
planning a race or training event on your local
multi-use trail.
