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
June 8th; 8 a.m.

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

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!

“I finished the Great Virtual 1000K Across Tennessee on August 26th, 2020, after a 100 day run streak. I received a congratulation email from the race director, and a couple days later my race BUCKLE arrived in the mail.
Along with many other industries, COVID definitely rocked the running community this year. There is no doubt about that. And although, races were cancelled, it is very cool to see how resilient the running community is, and how innovative this community became, in order to keep us all connected and running. It is actually a very powerful positive thing. I probably would have never run this type of mileage, or started a run streak, if it wasn’t for the whole situation, but I did with my girls at tow.
With this BUCKLE I’ll never forget, the summer of COVID, when I ran all the miles, across Tennessee.”

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

Oh boy. Trying to run fast hurts. I can confidently say that I`d rather run at an easy-medium pace for hours than run "fast" for 20 minutes. But it`s fun to switch it up sometimes! 😊
.
It was a blast taking part in the first race of the Personal Peak Summer Race Series - a 20 minute time trial.
.
I did manage my fastest 4K, fastest 400m, fastest 1/2 mile, fastest km, fastest mile AND fastest 2 miles before the uphill and wind took it all out of me on my way back. I`d call that progress! 1st photo is before; swipe for the sweaty finish line photo 😂
