12 Hours of the Hill of Truth


by Kym Flynn

Race: 12 Hours of the Hill of Truth
Date: 11-2-2002
Place: Haw Ridge, Knoxville, TN

Team Peggy took two teams to the 12 hour race at Haw Ridge this year. Team Peggy 1, was Kym, Linell, Chari and a very cool woman named Kathleen who answered our pleas for a fourth rider on race morning. Team Peggy, Headlights On, was Petty, Rebekah, Jen, and Becca (an honorary "Peggy" for the weekend). Both teams were ready to have FUN on Saturday morning as the race started. Everyone raced hard and had a great time. We were fueled by Coach Mark's great quesedillas and team support (and left over Halloween candy). Due to some unfortunate mechanical issues surrounding Linell, (flat tires and dead headlights), Team Peggy 1 ended the race a mere 6 minutes out of first place. Kym went out on the last lap trying to make up a 15 minute deficite but the course was not long enough to make up that much time. She as heard many times the rest of the weekend saying "just 5 more miles...." Despite the COLD temperatures we put on a great show and had a really good time; ending the day with one team in 2nd and one in 4th. Thanks for all the team work and a great weekend!!!
