Tim is a level 5 vegan ultra-endurance athlete. He started running in 2020-something (he won't tell me right now) which is fine because he's preparing for finals.
Anyway, he started running pretty recently, and ran his first marathon in 2020(?) by himself, starting at like 4am on Thanksgiving Day. He then signed up for the Dirty German (I think), which is a 50 mile trail race, in 2021.
He finished that, and then did a bunch of other stuff, like the Central Park Loop Challenge (70+ miles around Central Park, thanks for the inspiration Robbie) and the Keys 100 in 2022 (a really gorgeous but grueling race down the Florida Keys in Florida humidity and heat).
Since then, he's been preparing for his run across the US. He also did some other ultra-endurance events, including running a 50 miler on his own to try and beat his official time (he did, finishing in around 10 hours) and dragging my butt through the TARC Fall Classic, my first 50 miler.
In December, Tim is setting off on a 242-mile journey from NYC to Boston, to practice for his Transcon. This mostly includes practicing things like living out of a car, camping, not showering for days, not having access to a bathroom... oh yeah, and also running over 30 miles a day for multiple days in a row.
He currently lives in Brooklyn with his girlfriend, Christine (that's me 🙋), and adorable rescue dog, Moose.
