Race idea:
24 hour track race with an open bar rave on the infield, cycled in and out every 4 hours
Brought to you by: spectating a 24 hour race and attending a wedding on same day

I refuse to race on a treadmill
first on the list is Zack Beavin. the Kentucky native is a 2020 Olympic Trials Qualifier, 5:03 50 mile PB, Strolling Jim course record holder, and USA 100K National team qualifier š±@beavinz you are on the list and i want to beat you in an ultra marathon.
What a fun year!
Iāve been coaching in some capacity for the better part of 4 years, but I finally leaned in and formalized this year.
It was an honor to coach a variety of athletes chasing all sorts of goals at these races in 2022. I canāt wait for 2023!
On the increasingly long āto do somedayā list
Also worth mentioning a sub 5 hour 50 miles is a real possibility at TunnelHill. Zack Beavin came oh so close with a 5:03:06 at the finish of the 2020 50 mile race. The course for the 50 is 50.1314, so Beavins time for the 50 miles is a bit quicker and closer to 5:02 @beavinz

Happy #NationalComingOutDay!
Not to be all āit gets betterā but this weekend I got to attend my first gay wedding with my bf & his awesome family, which provided the opportunity for his mom to take embarrassing videos of us dancing.
Coming out makes life pretty great. š„°š

good luck to my Tunnel Hill buddy, Zack Beavin this weekend at the 2022 IAU 100K World Championship. and good luck to his boyfriend, David Melly who has the most stressful job, bottle handoffs. #DreamTeam ā at Morton, IL
Turns out that even when you work for a running shoe brand, saying āIāll be OOO for a 62 mile raceā at work still draws strange looks
My brain: #Badwater135 is such a needlessly difficult raceā¦Iād never do that
Also my brain: I canāt wait to run #VolState500k someday

Been reflecting on the value of queer representation in T&F this #PrideMonth. Many recent attacks on the LGBTQ community seem targeted at visibility itself, making elevating & amplifying queer role models all the more essential.

Thereās a ton of great analysis in here, but the stat @beavinz wanted me to bring up is that @KentuckyTrack alumni won 5 national titles- 2 more than any other school.
Ya know, maybe he was a good one to lose to at JFK
Adam Peterman arrives at mile 85.2, Auburn Lakes Trails (ALT) in first place with 12:51 elapsed. He was all business and left quickly after having ice water poured on him to cool off. #WS100
