The Man Formerly Known As Jim Court...(AKA, The "Do-Little, Earn Little, Guy")
The Man Formerly Known (TMFKA) Jim Court, formerly was named Jimmy Court, obviously. His athletic careeer comprised primarily of power sports...
football, wrestling, track & field hurdler, etc...the complete opposite physiological body systems used in endurance sports. TMFKA Jim Court, a
college football player and multi-time Ohio state wrestling champion, rarely ran any distance longer than 400 meters. His squatty little body didn’t
quite take to the long distance cross country running thing. As a matter of fact, way back in his high school days, he once held a local workout gym’s
powerlifting record in the 152lb. weight class in the dead lift exercise...cranking up almost 500lbs! Even after his college playing days were long
gone, he still maintained his fitness via the anaerobic, power-oriented fitness plan...running sprints, lifting heavy weights, and dibbling into some
national freestyle wrestling tournaments. THEN CAME THE RIP!
A torn and blown out hamstring (coupled with getting a little older!), forced Jimmy Court to re-consider his training methods. No longer were there
the workouts of 20 X 100 meter dashes, or extensive squat powerlifting workouts...now only the slow, long easy jog. TMFKA Jimmy Court’s first long
distance run was 2 miles...yippie! And in efforts to keep his body weight under control (...because the man loves to eat...), he had to extend his
mileage more and more...and eventually he got hooked on the longer distance running thing. THEN CAME THE BUM KNEE!
After months of learning how to jog and build endurance, tendonitis kicked-in and caused extensive knee pain. He couldn’t run, so he biked...and
biked. He ate alot...so he needed to bike more. Eventually the knee pain went away, and Jimmy was now hooked on biking. He was grateful to
biking because he felt it cured his knee problems. He participated in his first multisport event...The Nordonia Duathlon...a nice race in Summit
County/Akron, OH area. He crashed...DNF! The sport of triathlon was the next obvious evolutionary step to fuel his competitive spirit, but boy...he
never took to swimming. Until this day, he is a terrible swimmer (that squatty body sinks like a boulder!), and although he greatly respects the positive
aspects of swimming as a fitness activity, he still can’t get hooked...(We all them him that it is because he just ain’t no good at it!)
With all seriousness (oops...joking) aside, TMFKA Jim Court has done some groovy stuff in multisport & fitness over the last decade or so...(when he is
not hurt or fat and out of shape!)

Gregg Genovese...(AKA, G Money)
He is a chump and deserves no bio space. He is just the stressed-out guy on race days running around with a bull horn...like Mr. Big Mouth needs a
bullhorn. We all tell him that he carries that bullhorn around to make him look important. So please read-on below about some people that actually
make a difference.
