Lora Fox has been on quite a tear this year, winning her age group in many local races and now a 1st place overall.  And she is not done for the year...she is doing a December marathon.  Keep it up Lora.

One of the things I worked on with Lora is equipment selection and endurance racing style. Lora is kind of a no-nonsense racer, and doesn't worry about "matching."  (I on the other hand am a bit of a diva.)  She followed my advice to get a lighter weight racing shoe for her upcoming marathon, but I am starting to suspect that Lora is color blind.

While I do appreciate that Lora is wearing the ST team kit Swiftwick sock, and that she is wearing a lightweight trainer on race day...... Well now maybe Lora will have the chance to get some racing apparel that matches.  One final piece of good news related to Lora.  She recently informed me she will be racing on the ACME Racing Team in 2011.  The have picked an excellent representative. 

Okay one last picture:

Coach ST and Mayor Karl Dean

I enjoyed the opportunity to meet the the mayor, and thank him for his commitment to Nashville's greenway trails, bike-friendly road ways, and healthy living initiatives.  He pointed out that the Richland Creek repair and expansion was officially opening that day.  (I live right next to that trail and love it.)  Before the race he gave some advice to the runners: "start steady and ease off from there." 

All in all it was a great day and a great way to end my time in Nashville.
