stool in her mother's kitchen.
Spending time on her grand-
father's farm in Pageland,

portance of farm to table food

imals need to live free-range.
She also owned and operated
her own catering business for
12 years. After 911, Cathey
decided to follow her passion
as a food writer and recipe
developer promoting whole

ket is to help promote local

felt solid from beginning to
end,” said the Charlottean
moments after crossing the
finish line. Kirk, a veteran
of the Over The Mountain
Triathlon from 2003-2006
before taking a nearly 10-
year break, returned this year
to conquer it with a time of
2 hours, 16 minutes and 45
seconds. :
Kirk outpaced his nearest
competitor, 33-year-old Tim
Ferguson, also of Charlotte,
by about seven minutes.
. Repeating a chorus heard
by many OTM triathlon par-
ticipants, Ferguson said the
annual Kings Mountain race
is one of his favorites of the
North Carolina Triathlon Se-
ries. This is the OTM Triath-
lon’s 16th year.
“It’s a course that’s re-
ally fair,” Ferguson said.
“It’s demanding with lots of
hills, but nothing you can’t
train for. It’s a beautiful
course-and one allows rac-
ers to keep their momentum
because of the way the turns
are designed.” :
Race day kicked off at 8
a.m. at Moss Lake, where
148 participants slipped into
chilly waters for a l-mile
swim to a location where
rows and rows of bicycles
awaited them.
Once there, still dripping
wet, racers hop on their so-
phisticated bikes and wind
through Stony Brook Rd.,
travelling south through the
Oak Grove neighborhood
draws healthy crowd
before connecting with the
Hwy. 74 bypass, Kings
Mountain Blvd., Phifer Rd.
Margrace Rd., Dixon School
Rd. and eventually on a
winding path that takes the
fast pedallers through two
state parks in South Car-
olina. The final leg of the
bike course has the racers
travelling north on 161 until
they reach Gold St., at which
point they turn left toward
downtown.
At Railroad Ave. in
downtown; they transition
to the six-mile (10K) por-
tion of the race. What lies
ahead of them at this point is
a sometimes hilly route that
shoots them out to Phifer Rd.
and back up Gold St. toward
Patriots Park for the final
stretch.
“It’s such an interesting
set-up,” said Angie Beaty,
wife of competitor Sean
Beaty, who finished an im-
pressive fifth place overall
with a time of two hours,
27 minutes and 11 seconds.
“It’s not a clover-leaf set-up
like many other triathlons.
There’s a lot of variety and
great scenery.”
Upon crossing the finish
line at Patriots Park, rac-
ers are greeted with hearty
applause and congratula-
tory yelps from supporters.
There’s also nourishment
for the weary, who have
been swimming, biking and
pounding the pavement for
two, three and four hours:
bagels, fresh fruit, peanut
butter, soda, bottled water.
“I'm from Wilmington,
where it’s nice and flat,”
joked 33-year-old Tara Mar-
tine, the fastest female in
Saturday’s race with a time
of two hours, 38 minutes and
24 seconds. This year marks
her third time participat-
ing in the OTM, and is her
second big finish in the last
year, having collected first
place in the Savannah Mar-
athon last year.
“This is my favorite race
— the town does a good job
of a supporting it,” Martine
said, adding that her husband
Kurt was an “aquabike”
(swim and bike portions
only) participant in Satur-
day’s race. a
Race organizers, a com-
bination of City of Kings
Mountain officials, Set’ Up
Events workers and a small
army of volunteers, say tlie
2015 OTM went off without
a hitch.
“It’s been smooth sail-
ing,” said Haley Wilson,
the city’s Special Events
Coordinator who along with
Main Street Program direc
‘tor Jan Harris were the chief
organizers of the event for
the city. i
“Interest is certainly
high: people were lined up
before 6 a.m. to register,”
said Wilson, adding that this
year for the first time the
city arranged to have a bus
ready to transport friends
and family from the race’s
start location to its endpoint
at Patriots Park. {
