Episode 5: The Triple Crown of 200's with Joe Del Conte
MPF coaching athlete Joe Del Conte from Bronx, NY is attempting the triple crown of 200’s. To be considered a triple crown finisher one must complete 3 x’s 200 mile races created by Destination Trail.
Tahoe 200, June 15th.
Bigfoot 200, August 11th.
Moab 240, Oct. 7th.
Almost 1 full year ago Joe contacted coach Elizabeth Azze to help guide him to the finish line of this epic goal. At the time Joe was injured and hadn’t been running for quite some time. He registered previously, but due to the COVID pandemic all races were canceled. So, this was go time!
Elizabeth's approach for the first couple of months of coaching was to first get a medical diagnosis. Then we began to systematically improve his movement patterns through mobility, corrective exercise and strength.
Joe has completed 2 of the races thus far, congrats! It was awesome to finally meet him in person in Washington during the Bigfoot 200!
This has been a team effort that he could not have completed without the help of friends & an amazing wife, who has offered support and has paced him throughout this journey! Way to go team!
This morning Joe began his final journey at the Moab 240! The Moab 240 is a continuous loop with limited aid stations; he will go very long stretches without crew/aid stations, this is what they call a graduate level event. You must be prepared, nearly self reliant.
We are here to support him, so be sure to follow the action on our social media pages. To learn more about Joe’s experience, take a listen to a recent conversation between Coach Elizabeth Azze and Joe. Good luck Joe!
Finish of the Tahoe 200!
