Tim Hamburger: Cycle Coach

Tim has been a competitive cyclist for 28 years.  His involvement with Team In Training^® (TNT) began in 1998 as a participant, and he served as a run coach for the Western Pennsylvania/West Virginia Chapter after running in his first TNT event - the 1998 San Diego Marathon.  Once the chapter learned of a solo cross-country bicycle trip that Tim completed in 19 days during the summer before his senior year of college, they asked him to head up their cycling program.  Since that time, Tim has coached TNT cycling teams in 12 century rides for the Western Pennsylvania/West Virginia, Louisville and Central Ohio chapters of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.  He has also been an active running and cycling participant for Team in Training.  Tim has completed five running events for Team in Training including: the 1998 San Diego Marathon, the 1999 Boston Marathon, the 2000 Boston Marathon, the 2001 Columbus Marathon and the 2001 Snow Mountain Trail Challenge - a 52.4 mile trail run in Winter Park, Colorado.  Tim has also completed several cycling events as fundraisers for Team in Training including: the Death Valley Double Century a 200 mile one day bike ride through Death Valley in 2007 and a week-long 1000 mile bike ride in 2009.  During his 14 years with Team in Training, Tim has raised more than $102,000 for cancer research and patient aid.  When asked about his volunteer work with TNT, Tim says the thing he is most proud of is the people.  These are ordinary people who, together, focus on a common goal and accomplish extraordinary things!
