08.01.09: Xterra Planet Panther Creek 10k

One of the few prized close-to-home races (and starts later then most, another plus), this one attracts only a relative handful (around 40), but they come from far and wide - one woman came from Pennsylvania and another from Florida. It was also a challenging race, with the trail starting and ending at the boat ramp - maybe 1100' elevation - but going by Point Lookout, the highest point in the park at 1460'.

Tom Dever, one of the Knoxville-area speedsters, won the race in 41:25 (proving once again the difficulty of this course). Michelle Tanner, also of Knoxville, won the women's race in 56:43.
