FTP Race Results

For those interested in the multisport lifestyle, the Du Run Run is a perfect, non-intimidating race. Held in a centralized Nashville location, the race uses a local park for both the runs and Metrocenter for the bike portion. It is flat, fast and a lot of fun. That is when mother nature doesn't bear her muscle onto the race.


David Bishop - 56:40 (1st Male Masters)
Matt Mantz - 58:25 (1st Age Group)

Major kudos to Team FTP this past weekend. Dave Bishop and Jessica Van Orden took on the challenge known as Powerman Alabama. This course is certainly not for the weak. The undulating terrain laughs in the face of those ill-prepared for such a race. Both Dave and Jessica are training for early season half ironmans. Dave-Austria 70.3 and Jessica-White Lake.

Dave and Jessica not only race impressively, both athletes qualified for Team USA and Long Course Duathlon World Championships.
