Personal Peak Summer Race Series
The Personal Peak Summer Race Series was a set of four consecutive races held throughout the summer of 2020. These virtual races had over 1600 total registrants from 36 countries around the world. Our youngest participant was just 4 years old! And the oldest, 71!
The concept may have been simple, but the races were anything but! Each race was a time trial targeted at a different intensity zone, which meant no matter who you were, how fit you were, or how fast you were, everyone racing would be working just as hard, for just as long. The only difference? Each race, one person ran farther than the rest…
- May 30, 2020 – 20 minutes
- June 27, 2020 – 45 minutes
- July 25, 2020 – 3 hours
- August 22, 2020 – 12 hours
Tempo in 98° 🥵🔥
There was no way I was racing that 5k. I’ll take the -10° ANYDAY over 98° (I know I can’t be alone?)! Even so, it felt great. The pace felt smooth, while still putting in a good effort!
Advantage of out and back races? You can cheer for your friends!

Last Wednesday I started the first ever kids trail race series in Jax. Kids compete weekly in their age classes with an emphasis on fun and skill building. With help from the bikes from the Riding for Focus program and the donation of gear from The Specialized Foundation, I am able to give kids from 3 years old to high school seniors, something to talk about this summer. This is why iamspecialized for life. I couldn’t think of a better partner for getting more kids on bikes. Can’t wait for Race 2 tonight! #ridingforfocus #thespecializedfoundation thespecializedfoundation #mtb #mtblife #mtbkids #summerraceseries #bikersonthetrail #specialized #outrideadhd #morekidsonbikes

I ran two virtual races this morning so I’m going to recap each of them separately. 🏃♀️
.
First off was personal_peak’s first #SummerRaceSeries race - a 20 minute time trial. I’ve never done a race like this before so I was excited to try it. I loved the Zoom call, being able to see others who were running the race, and getting real time updates during the race. I ran it at a local track I just recently discovered and it worked out well. I managed 2.32 miles in 20 minutes and was pretty happy with that! I could have pushed a little harder, but I knew I had to leave something in the tank for my second race. This was an awesome format and I’m excited for the other races through the summer. ☀️
.
Today was also the next race in pushthruthewall’s #KingOfTheHalfCrazies series. I decided to include the first 2.32 miles in my half marathon, so I had 10.78 miles to go. I’ve got to admit, I struggled this time. This month is set to be my second highest mileage month ever, so my legs were pretty tired. Running a fast 2.32 miles to start certainly didn’t help that! It was also pretty warm today. But, I ran a route I haven’t run before and still managed to enjoy it, even if it was slow!
.
Good luck with all your runs and virtual races this weekend friends!

It’s time to tow the line again! This time a 45 minute running time trial. 🏃 I am guessing I am the only one in the race who did a self supported double Ironman 12 days ago 🏊♂️ 🚴♀️ 🏃 . personal_peak #summerraceseries #srsstart

I have two things planned for this weekend
Saturday 2pm:
Personal Peak Summer Race Series 45 minutes.
Run as far as you can in the allotted 45 minutes! I took part in the last one which was a 20 minute race. I did a half marathon before that race, so I was pretty tired but still managed to get 3rd place. #SRSStart
Sunday:
Before the tragic news of Jon’s passing, Jon and John were supposed to be running the Moray Way 100 miles unsupported and aiming to do it with 24 hours this weekend.
If I had lived closer, I would have loved to join John on this challenge. As I don’t, I will aim to run 100 miles in 24 hours in the Southwest in Jon’s memory.
John and Jon were running this weekend to raise money for the Samaritans. The link is below:
