Weekend Warrior: Eric Crutcher, Runner & Cyclist

44, Real Estate Broker at Doorstep Realty

TEAM PLAYER:

I work out with Grind City Cycling & Black Men Run.

MULTI-SPORT:

I had left and right heel sprains which reduced my running, and that’s how I discovered cycling.

2020 CHALLENGES:

I found three events to participate in— CHF Race for Hope 5K (placed like 7th overall); Bikes, Blues & Bayous Ride; and Grind City Cycling Paint The Streets Pink, which was an awesome fundraiser for Breast Cancer Awareness.

FAVE FITNESS ACCOMPLISHMENT:

In 2015, I ran my first marathon during St. Jude Marathon Weekend, and I cycled my first 100 miles this October 2020 on the Tanglefoot Trail.

GEAR MUST-HAVES:

I love my Garmin Forerunner 235 watch and Edge 830 computer. Never leave home without my Road ID.

BEST EATS:

Central BBQ—I love the smoked chicken wings.

BUCKET LIST:

Run a half marathon in all 50 states.

PET PEEVE:

Wet socks and wet feet are the worst— period.

SPIRIT ANIMAL:

The rabbit because, like me, it’s fast, has low curiosity, and is a quiet talent.

MOTTO:

Train insane!
