“The five S’s of sports training are: stamina, speed, strength, skill, and spirit; but the greatest of these is spirit.” – Ken Doherty

Brentwood native Jason Loyd won The Sequoyah Marathon at Pinson Mounds State Park on November 25, 2018 with a new personal record time of 3:14:33. It was a fourteen minute PR for Loyd who had last set it at the same race in 2016.

A speedy three-some that included Jackson natives Karl Studtmann and Randy Broadway along with Loyd blurred around the 2.91 mile looped course for the first 10+ miles together as those in attendance enjoyed the smoke show as these men seemed as if they had been catapulted out of a jet from the rest of the field.

Loyd was on a rail, extremely consistent with his splits around 7:30’s as Stuntman and Broadway fell back off the strong pace. Broadway stayed close in second for several miles, with Studtmann falling back to third place, as Jason started to run off away with it eventually leaving Broadway behind by a good bit.

Studtmann then passed Broadway for second around mile eighteen. Karl put some substantial distance between him and Randy, as Randy, with the win out of sight, went into conservation mode for his 100K the following weekend in Kentucky. Karl took second place with a strong showing in 3:26:20 with Randy rounding out the men’s podium in 3:43:50.

It’s the first win for Loyd and would have been a BQ time if only the course was a BQ certified course.

Canadian Marylou Corino, running her third consecutive day of races after back to back 40 milers, was the female winner in 4:07:17. Corino completed four races over the three days and was the female winner, not only at The Sequoyah Marathon, but also at the Black Diamond 40 Miler and Double Black Diamond 40 Miler.

The Sequoyah Marathon female top three was rounded out by Heather Coon in 4:22:38 and sixteen-year old Morgan Seech running her marathon debut in 4:40:06.

“That’s the thing about running: your greatest runs are rarely measured by racing success. They are moments in time when running allows you to see how wonderful your life is.” -Kara Goucher

[Extreme Racer points are awarded per each racing mile completed. Example: marathon = 26.2 points, half marathon 13.1 points, etc.]

Our 14th Run It Fast member Beth Hosick has finished The Vol State 500K in 9:01:23:48. Beth who lives in Lexington, Tennessee, which is mile 92 of the course, was crewed by her husband Chris Hosick.

It’s got to be hard to keep on during this event when you live on the course and could easily return to the comforts of home, but Beth persisted past Lexington and relentlessly, day by day, pushed towards The Rock. Congrats to Beth.

Congrats to Jackson, Tennessee’s David Oglesby on reaching The Rock to finish the prestigious Last Annual Vol State 500K.

I met David at local 5K’s in Jackson 8+ years ago and dubbed him ‘5K Dave’ because that’s where I would always see him. He then delved into the dark side and ran a half marathon, marathon, ultramarathon, 100 miler, and now a 314 mile ultra from Missouri all the way to Georgia.

From this day forward ‘5K Dave’ is now ‘500K Dave.’

He is the fifth Jacksonian to ever complete the Vol State 500K and was the 50th finisher. 5, 50, 500.

You define what Run It Fast is all about, David. That relentless attitude to give it all. He was also one of RIF’s very first members being RIF #19.

Run It Fast’s Sharon Carver had never gone further than 40 miles before starting LAVS as a unscrewed runner. She had her highs and lows throughout the race along with her doubts but her positive spirit carried her 314 miles to The Rock where she finished in 8:10:59:02. A new personal long by +274 miles. Congrats, Sharon.
