    This Taconic Running Life is a compendium of events and stories diat make it obvious that our cluband other small clubs are very special. When Stacy Wallach came to us and asked that we put on arace to honor his father, he made just a few requests. Most important to Stacy was that the race takeplace where our Saturday runs take place. To Stacy, and to many of us, one of our most specialevents takes place every Saturday when many of our members gather to run along the beautiful CrotonAqueduct and through the quiet streets in that area. We run with friends and fellow runners and enjoythem and the scenery. Stacy also wanted this race to include only Taconic members and he wanted it to be free. Hewould contribute what was necessary to make the race work. And in the end it was one of TRRC's best events ever. Iwon, of course. But that should only bring home the point that in a world where the fastest usually wins, it doesn't have

    to be true.Chuck Creel, Jay Graygor, Rob Walters and Richard Izzo went to the inaugural Ironman USA, and ironman distanceevent in Lake Placid and all finished, with Chuck coming in 11 . Paul Fendler, long time member and now Hyannisresident ran a spectacular Falmouth, as did our local member, Mr. Khannouchi and Roy Altman was there to run andwrite about it. Many of us went up to Utica to run in the country's biggest 15K. Jack Brennan participated in the WoridVeteran's Games. We travel all wearing the TRRC singlet proudly. I invite anyone who has a favorite run or race toshare that with us in an article for an upcoming newsletter.Coming this fall are some of our smallest and best events: the Teatown Trail Run; the Columbus Day Races forChildren; the Cross Country Relay and the Couples Relay; the Dinner Dance. These are the events that make our clubspecial: running in the woods in Blue Mountain with Harry Neeson who is an inspiration to us all, dancing at the DinnerDance with Jerry Radlauer; hoping to win Gary Steinel's cheesecake at the Couples' Relay. And we are proud of ourinvolvement with the annaul Support-A-Walk at FDR park.Join us this fall on the trails or on the dance floor. It's going to be fun.

    Keep on RunningContributed by a Taconic Member - Electronic Telegraph, August I"', 199They are probably the fittest pensioners in the world. Tholdest athlete limbering up for competition in Gateshead, in northeast England, this week is 97-year-old Everett Hosack, from OhioUSA. He will be putting his best foot forward in no fewer than foevents: the lOOm, 200m, long jump and hammer throw. The WorlVeterans Athletics Championships, held every two years and ta

    ping in to one of the fastest-growing areas of amateur athletics, hahad a record entry this year.The fiercest competition is likely to be among the 40-60 aggroups - where many of the former Olympic medal winners anWorld Champions have kept much of the fitness and speed of theglory days. Standards are high.At the other end of the scale, the level of fitness is senough to put so many so-called youngsters to shame. After on85-year-old has tlnished his events in the discus, shot-put, javeliand 100m, he has got a heptathlon to complete.

    Nearly 12,000 people from 83 countries are making the treto Gateshead: and for many, it is the atmosphere, as much as thcompetition that draws them.The World Veterans Athletics Championships tookplace from July 29"' to August 8"\

    straight year while Cecily Tynan visiting from Philadelphia won inher first try. While Brown won by a little over a minute, Tynan'sfinished in 11 th place overall onthis hot and humid day, wellahead of second place CherylMaccaroni, a 40 year old.The eight mile course isdifficult enough with its rollinghills, but this year it was run inthe middle of the hottest Julyever. Many runners did the smartthing and ran easily for much ofthe race. Times were slower andparticipation was down (it washeld on Sunday.)

    The volunteers came outin force once again, so important in this race. Without them,as usual, puttin gon this race isan impossible task. Happily,there are too many to mentionindividually.

    Cecily Tynan (left) and Scott Brown in the lead; DaveGoldberg finishes strong. Below are Margie Katt, Dave O'Tooleand Jim Martin below.

    ik'jiil 'j'Mlii'jii ijlaumjl IluiiThe race was the dream of Stacy Wallach,who loves the pump house run we do

    every Saturday morning, With water and Gatorade placedalong the route, sometimes up to 60 TRRC members take tothe roads and trails around the Croton Reservoir in runs from6 to 20 plus miles at all sorts of paces. It is in this beautifulsetting that we train ourselves to run marathons, treat ourselves to runs with our friends, sharing stories and goals. It ishere, every Saturday, that we can forget ourselves and remember the things that should be more important in our lives.It is here that Stacy wanted a race to memorialize his father(please see the accompanying article he wrote about hisfather.)

    So in keeping with the non-competitive nature of his father,we fashioned a race anyone could win. Running fast meant nothing. There was no glory this time forthe first fmisher, just more time to eatbagels and cheer everyone else across the bridge. Earlier finishers were able to monitor how close their fellow runners would come to theirpredicted time. When Joe Jeraci was the third runner in only eight seconds off his prediction of 1:40;00, we thought we had our winner. Andw e w a i t e d .

    Before the race, everyone had to prcdict the time they would run. The course is an out and back half marathon along trails and grass, withsome roads and few gradual hills. The water/Gatorade stops, manned by Steve Quinn and Marci Smith, were at the '4, V2 and Va points ofthe race, There would be one female and one male winner, with second through 5" place getting gift certificates worth $ 100, $75, $50 and $25.The calculation would be by percentage difference from the predicted time so slower runners were not at a disadvantage.Our president, Ed McLaughlin turned onto the bridge, a little more than a tenth of a mile from the finish as the clock ticked past2:07:00. Eveiyone perked up because he had predicted 2:08:30 with the kind of bravado Babe Ruth was famous for. He was not wearing theheart rate monitor he always has on and he seemed naked without it. But his internal clock was on and he came across in 2:08:22, only 0.12

    percent off, to the cheers of all who had finished before him. More amazing was the story heard later, that he had stopped to clean up somecups he had seen, and was seen spceuing past some runners late in the run, certainly not smooth and steady. However, he probably hadthat all calculated.Katy Quinn, not used to running this distance lately, was first on the woman's side, finishing only .61 percent off and sixth overall. HairyNeeson, finding energy he didn't know he still had, finished his half marathon thinking only 6 miles was possible. Howie Solow similarly,ran farther than he though he could. Nancy Young ran her first 13 mile run since knee surgery. Those runners that chose to battle theirfellow runners instead of listening to themselves, faltered in their main goal.It was a day that put a smile on everyone's face. It wasn't like any other. While 1 doubt we'll start going out there without our watches, itis for certain we'll be back next year without them in the second annual Harold's Half.

    The Harold Wallach Annual Guesstimation HalfMara thon Run

    by Stacy WallachAugust?, 1999The Wallach Family is pleased to sponsor Taconic Road

    Runners' first annual Guesstimation Half Marathon Run in lovingmemory of Harold Wallach, 1915-1993,The run is approximately 13 miles and follows the regularSaturday morning route of the Pumphouse Gang, starting at thebrown bridge, continuing past the first water stop, down to theCroton Dam, and then out the full length of the aqueduct, andback. It is structured as a guesstimation run, not a race, in that thewinners five men and five women are those who finish closest in time to the times they predicted on their registration forms.Thus victory belongs not to the speediest but to those who havethe best inner clock since naturally no chronometers or timepieces of any kind are allowed on the course. The effect of thisstructure is to put a premium on (a) finishing and (b) enjoying ther u n .

    Harold Wallach, the father of one of our Taconic members, would have been entirely amused at the concept of runningthirteen miles for no particular reason other than personal enjoyment. His idea of enjoyment was reading a good book with his feetup, He was not a competitive person and, as far as his childrencould tell, was totally disinterested in athletics particularly professional athletics where the idea of grown men and women beingpaid handsomely to chase balls of various shapes and sizes always struck him as particularly absurd. Nonetheless, he did livelong enough to see one of his children run the New York CityMarathon and was effusive in his congratulations, regardless ofwhat his inner thoughts may have been.

    Although not a competitive person, when it came to lovefor his family, personal integrity, intellectual honesty, loyalty tofriends (who were legion), endless acts of kindness to friends andstrangers alike, Harold Wallach was a true champion.To his memory, the Wallach Family dedicates thisGuesstimation Half Marathon Run in the hope that the runners'enjoyment of the event will be sufficient, year after year, so thatthe Run eventually becomes permanent and self-sustaining. GoodLuck and Enjoy

    V o l u n t e e r i s mby Steve Qiiinn

    I volunteered to head a committee to look atthe club from a standpoint of volunteerism.How do we solicit and keep people volunteering? A group of us met and came upwith a number of ideas. I would like to sharesome of them with you.First it is necessary to thank those that

    helped put these ideas together. They included Marge Jeraci, RudiEinhom, Bob Davis, Jim Whalen, Cathy Groneman, and Joanne andBill Bertram. The group included runners, non-runners, long timeand short time members, race directors, past club officers, a realmish mash. Thanks to everyone.A good friend Joe Handelman can always be heard saying that theTaconic Road Runners Club is the best. Joe should know, 1 think hehas belonged to four or five. What makes it the best? We decidedthe biggest thing the club gave us all was a social connection. Anon controversial purpose, generally for healthy reasons. We are avaried group, contractors, teachers, business people, police andfiremen, corporate executives, significant others. We are retired andwe arc still working. We come from a viiried background professionally and personally. I find it stimulating. We felt it was most important to encourage the social aspects of the club, We also fell weneeded to acknowledge the volunteers, thank them and make theirexperience rewarding. We felt the club needed to reach out to existing and new members and ask them to volunteer. Once they do andmake a social connection the fun begins. We proposed a periodicpicnic for families and significant others to encourage runners andnon-runners to meet each other and find common ground. We proposed establishing a position of Volunteer Coordinator completewith chair-persons of various subcommittees to help with differentaspects of our races. The various subcommittees will include. Registration, Course Management, Finish line. Refreshments and Scoring. We hope to ask club members to consider signing up for one ormore of the subcommittees. Chairs will be appointed for each area.The idea is for a Race Director to coordinate with the various chairsfor each event. Each chair would assign the necessary volunteersfrom his or her pool of candidates. As a member learned variousaspects of race administration they could eventually assume moreand more responsibility as and if they desired. This would give usa pool of potential race directors and club officers. This would alsomean that we should have more people volunteering and thereforewe would all need to volunteer less, unless of course it becomes somuch fun that you want to volunteer more. We would also assemble information on various aspects of race volunteering to takesome of the fear out of it.1 am pleased to say I met with the board in early July and theyagreed with basically all of our recommendations. I have agreed tobe the Volunteer Coordinator. The club is also looking at purchasing a vehicle (trailer) that can be used to get race hardware to andfrom the races with minimal work. The board agreed that all volunteers will be given volunteer shirts to wear proudly at events. 1 amin need of a few good members to step up and be chairs of thevarious subcommittees. Gia Boulos has agreed to help me reachout to the members to get people signed up for various subcommit

    tees. I hope to have the new volunteer effort in full force by yearend. In future newsletters I will talk about various aspects of racemanagement and what the sub-committees each do.One thing we agreed, race directing and volunteering generallywas one of the more rewarding aspects of club membership. Wehope you will agree.Subcommittee Summary Responsibilities, after consultation withthe race director.Registration: Set up registration, run race day and pre-registra-tion activities. Assemble race packets if used. Obtain necessarychange, collect and safeguard fees collected.Course Management: Lay out course, set mile markers and markcourse and race area. Clean up mile and course markings uponcompletion. Ensure necessary hardware is available on race day.Obtain and coordinate police support, mile timers and traffic andrace monitors as needed. When parking is needed set up parkingand man positions to direct people to parking.Finish Line: Set up and take down finish line hardware, set upchutes, clock and finish line area. Ensure finish line hardware isavailable on race day. Bandit and crowd control at the finish linea r e a .

    Scoring: Ensure needed scoring hardware and software is available on race day. Run manualor computer scoring. Set upcommunication between finishline and scorer, obtain selectlimes, determine order of finish, and awards. Developmechanism for bandit identification and control.R e f r e s h m e n t s : O b t a i n r efreshments and food from local stores or merchants as necessary. Ensure coffee pots etcis available. Prepare and setou t food and re f reshments ,clean area upon event comple-don. Ensure sufficient garbagecollectors are present. Presentrefreshments and food in a ,9neat and orderly fashion.

    alone. I looked around for a running companion. I found JoeHandelman. We learned that our predicted times were similarand happily set out together. We were disappointed that Stacywas not running, since we enjoy his company, but we understood his need to "oversee" things. Our other Saturdaymorning companions were missing. (Joanne offered friendlyconversation from her bicycle. Owen didn't know what hewas missing when he went to the Shore. We didn't knowwhere Carolyn was, and Rudi and Fred left us in the dust )

    The water stops included the usual Saturday morningsocializing. Lee and Nancy and Gia obviously padded theirpredicted times to include more socializing time than Joe andI did, though. They would pass us on each leg of the run, stayat the water stops longer than we did, then pass us again.They were obviously having fun too. Their conversationappeared as lively as ours.

    It was fim to have all the runners stick to the samecourse, not something that happens every Saturday. It wasfun to meet new faces (I expect Graham Keenan to be back )and see so many familiar ones. I was very surprised to learnthat my finish time was closest to the predicted time for thewomen. I didn't know there were prizes of any significantvalue until WOW Ed presented me with a most generous giftcer t i fica te .

    What can I say, except THANK YOU To Stacy forhis sponsorship; to Greg for the concept of the "guesstimatehalf-marathon;" to Joe, for the lively conversation and steadyrunning; to Taconic, for another fine day of running amongf r i e n d s

    My brother Pat was my inspiration to become arunner. He started running, picked the marathon distance forraces, and completed many of them with a college friend. Heand his friend came from Minnesota and South Dakota to runthe New York City Marathon. I watched them and caught the"bug." Two years later, Pat came back to cheer me on in myfirst New York. He gave me sage advice then (which herepeated for me when we started the Twin Cities, DutchessCounty, and Cape Cod marathons together in later years): "Atthe start of the race, give thanks for the day, for beingamong friends, and for the ability to run... then enjoyyourself "I think of his advice often - and not just at races, buton training runs as well. Saturday, August 7 was one of thosetimes. There I was, with more than 50 other Taconics, on aglorious sununer day (temperatures and humidity greatlyimproved over previous summer mornings ), off and running.Our friend and fellow Taconic, Stacy Wallach had given useven more reason to give thanks: "Harold's Half tee-shuts,refreshments, and SURPRISE.. .generous prizes for thosewho most closely predicted their finish times.I got to the pumphouse with little time to spare. Ichecked in and heard others talking about changing theirpredicted times. I questioned whether or not I would be ableto go the distance, not having completed more than a 10 milerun in months. My predicted time, submitted some timeearlier, seemed overly optimistic, but I decided to leave it

    Twenty one Taconic Road Runners and Family members headedupstate for the 22"'' running of theUt ica Bo i le r Maker. For what Th isis now becoming an annual Taconictrip up to Utica for the largest 15kmroad race in the U.S.

    1 encourage everyone to participate in this race at least once. Itisan extremely well run race that is as organized as the standard largemarathon. There are a dozen bands/D.J.'s along the route, 20 official waterstops, fans line the 9.3 mile course, and you finish in Matts Brewer)'."What co u ld be bet ter "All Taconics / guests are welcome to spend the weekend at the TippinMasonic temple. The night before the race we were presented with a greatdinner by Chefs Reger and Juliano. Most everyone spent the night at thetemple under the watchful eye of old ghost masons.The next day race, weather, and post race party all proved to bemore than you can hope for. Hope to see you ail next year in Utica thesecond weekend in July.

    W O M E N ' S O P E N T E A Mby Maria CalidonnaFirst, my apologies to all for a belated Women's Open team

    update. As of June, our current standing is seventh place, however, we areclose behind the Harriers and New York Flyers. With everyone on theWomen's Open Team improving throughout the season, as well as thereturn of two members (welcome back Tara and Alyssa ), I predict Taconiwill improve considerably among the ranks.

    To recap our races since May: On May 9th we competed in thegrueling Women's Half Marathon in Central Park. Maria Calidonna, FredaClarke, and Carolyn Durst scored for Taconic with a seventh place finishoverall. For the May 22"'' Avon lOK, Barbara Brittan led Taconic with afinish time of 41:58. Maria Calidonna and Carolyn Cole Durst also contributed to our seventh-place finish overall. Gwen Denza participated inher first Taconic and lOK race that day, running an impressive 44:15.

    June brought noticeable improvements from the team. Taconic'North County News 5K boasted the finest race yet for the Women's Openteam. Maria Calidonna led the pack with a PR that day, and BarbarBritiain ran close behind with an impressive time of 19:00. Carolyn Dursalso ran a fleet race, with a personal record at 19:10. It was our first thirdplace win and we were happy to have Alyssa Lifrieri, Sherri Shultz, FredaClark, and Ilene Davis completed the team effort that day.Also in June, Barbara Britiain again led the team in the GaLesbian Pride 5 miler. and Taconic landed a fine fifth place finish. It habeen an exciting and challenging opportunity to take over the role of captain this year. I've had the pleasure of getting to meet new members as weas get to know women who have been running with Taconic in the past. I'like to thank everyone for showing up May the August Club Team Championship be our Tour De ForceU P C O M I N G R A C E S ;Fred Lebow 5K XC:Sta ten Is land Hal f Marathon:New York City Marathon:

    F o u l W e a t h e r a t F a l m o u t hby Roy Altman

    Upon first reserving my summer vacation on Cape Cod, I realizedthat I would be there during the weekend of the Falmouth race. The 9,500available spots sell out in three days, so I figured I'd register and see what thefi iss w as a l l abou t .Two weeks prior to my vacation, I had injured my ankle, and myrunning was significantly limited. Nevertheless, I had resolved to do the race asa tempo run. Since I was really training for the Dutchess County Classic fiveweeks hence, I figured a seven-mile tempo run would be excellent training fora h a l f - m a r a t h o n .I arrived on the Cape the Friday night before the race, spending thefirst night at Hyannis, before heading out to my final destination at Eastham.On Saturday, I made the arduous drive down Route 28 to Falmouth to pick upmy number. The interminable one-lane road seemed longer due to the paradeof cars idly ambling down the road. Are ail New England drivers so slow, or isthis a typical case of pre-race anxiety? No reason to be anxious, I told myself,it's just a tempo run.

    Race expos always feel like coming to Mecca for me. Throngs ofrunners and vendors displaying their wares. I was given two numbers, andinstructed to pin them to the front and back of my singlet. Only a geek wearsa number on the back, I thought. It was raining, and more rain was predicted forSunday. I hoped for the best.I awoke early on Sunday to the sound of pouring rain. Having takenseriously the threat of traffic jams, and after experiencing Route 28, I struckout early. When the weather is bad, it seems that the multitude of little decisions one must make on race day multiply. Should I attach my car remote lockto my shoe or the key? The remote is electronic, and may short. I opt for thekey. I stopped at a grocery store to pick up a box of Glad Garbage Bags. Thegrocer smiled knowingly and wished me luck. Traffic was not that bad as Ipulled into town, parked at race headquarters, and joined the parade of garbagebag-clad runners heading toward the busses to take us to the start. The mood onthe bus was jovial. One woman commented on the fashion statements beingmade with garbage bags.

    The busses arrived at Woods Hole at 8:00 AM. The race was not foranother two hours. All roads for three miles around Woods Hole were closedoff (except for the busses and official race vehicles), thus discouraging bandits.Everything was extremely well organized, as I have come to expect from largeNew England races, having run Boston. I found a vestibule that was not crowdedyet, and hunkered down for the long wait. One by one, other runners discovered my secret and soon it was packed. Yet the mood was upbeat. Runnerstalking about running; trading war stories about other bad weather races. Lincoln Hall, '94 was mentioned.At about 9:15 the rain let up a little, so I bid farewell to my compatriots and decided to jog and stretch a bit. Feeling a little looser, I threw out mygarbage bag and made my way to my pen. Runners were assigned pens based ontheir reported lOK PR's. The "elite" pen, consisting of the first 500 men and175 women, was to start at 10:00. Each successive pen, consisting of approximately 2,000 runners, was to start at subsequent 1-minute intervals. Thestarting time was to be compensated for when determining the official results.I had a false feeling of celebrity, as 1 made my way to the "elite" pen. Thus,

    despite the 9,500 participants, for me the race would consist of 675 competitors. As soon as I got there, the downpour began.I huddled under a small overhang, and watched a group of leanKenyans warm up. I was torn between getting in a decent warm-up, andgetting soaked prematurely. Right before I was to exit my sanctuary forsome final stride-outs, Khalid Khannouchi, the two-time winner and Ossiningresident, came over to my overhang to change into his race singlet. Iwished him luck and introduced myself as a TRR member. He returned thew i s h e s . I made my way about fifteen rows behind the starting line, andsurveyed the fellow "elitists": grizzled veterans in Boston Marathon singlets, young hot-shots. Women built like birds. I began to focus on the race.The race originated when a bunch of runners decided to race from one barin Woods Hole to another one in Falmouth, thus determining the odd racedistance of 7.1 miles. I had previously done the math: 45:00 (6:20 pace);expected, even at tempo run pace; 44:00 (6:11 pace): doable, if I'm havinga good day; 43:00 (6:03 pace): unlikely, given my current health; 42:00(5:55 pace): would be a near miracle.

    The race began and we ran alongside a harbor with a picturesquelighthouse. I imagined myself Captain of a fishing boat, trying to bring herback to port in a storm. I hit the first mile in 6:24. Not bad, I thought. If Ipick it up a bit I might get my sub-45. The course veered inland, the terrainbecame rolling hills throught the woods. 1 tried to sidestep the growingpuddles by running along the edge of the path. By mile three, I was wellbelow 45:00 pace. It was clear that I was running this as a race, not atraining run. That's what happens when you pin on a number.Just past the halfway point, the course emerged from the woodsand flattened out, hugging the beach. By mile five, I was on pace for 44:00.The rain had been pouring steadily since the start. At this point, the puddleswere well above ankle depth, and I made no attempt to sidestep them.Runners had talked about a tough hill in the last mile, followed by a downhillto the finish, which is demarcated by a huge American flag. I girded myselffor the final mile. By now I had developed a "technique" for runningthrough puddles, and found myself passing people in the puddles.With about a half mile to go the road curved and angled uphill.This must be the final hill. Lift the knees, pump the arms, up the hill. Thatwasn't so bad...sort of like the north hill in Central Park. The hill crestedand sloped to a curvy downhill. Where's the finish line? There it is...no flagbecause of the rain...kick...across the line...43:13 (must've been a goodlast mile)...wet handshakes all around. They lead us through the shoots,down a long street leading to a muddy field, where the post-race refreshments are being served. I keep asking "who won?" but nobody knew (I laterfound out that Khannouchi was beaten by John Korir of Kenya by 2 seconds). We pass Bill Rogers and somebody asks "Bill, how'd you do?" "39-something" he replies. The runners trudge along the edges of the growingmud puddles, and I think "this is like Woodstock for runners " (I later heardthat co-ed mud wrestling was to take place after the masses descended).Wanting to avoid the crowds and get dry, I jogged back to my car at raceheadquarters.On the drive home I reflect on the experience. Given the hassle and discomfort, was it worth it? Definitely, I conclude. I had the rare opportunityto participate in the two premier races in New England in the same year. Itwas a beautiful course, a great experience, and will be a lasting memory,

    [NEW ENGLAND CLYDESDALE & FLLYRUNNING FEDERATIONhy Charlie SprauerOn Saturday, the 31 st of July Pete Colaizzo and myself went to

    Somerville, Mass, for a 5 mile run. This was an unusual race in tworespects. First, a friend of ours, Larry, was getting married at the raceitself, and it also was a "CLYDESDALE" race which meant you hadto weigh at least 190 pounds to be eligible,

    Upon arrival (the yard in back of a bar which was a Red Sox den)there was scale under a tent where you had to be weighed in. Anyone just making the limit was booed, while the heavier one was, thelouder the cheers. They also had a large thermometer chart and thiswas a "tonnage" barometer. Anytime they reached a ton of weight,they marked the thermometer. They reached a little over 10 tons, therecord was 13 and a half. Phil, another friend who came up for theceremony, weighed only 188 and was ineligible. He drank 2 quarts ofwater but they wouldn't weigh him again. He ran as ineligible for ana w a r d .Pete entered to run with the groom and do a report for thePoughkeepsie Journal, but they painted a red "S" on his shoulder,the scarlet "S" for '\skinny \ Well, the bride and groom marcheddown the street to the wedding march song and we accompaniedwith kazoos that were handed out.A member of the Somerville Runners' Club had a permit for one day and performed the ceremony.

    The race started at 4:19 P.M. Why? Because they said 4:18 wastoo early and 4:20 was too late. The preacher running in his purpletop hat and tuxedo jacket filled out the whole Alice in WonderlandScenario. Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that there were 3 barsalong the way, and you had to stop at each one and drink a beer andconsume a hot dog before continuing. (Don't try this at home) Allthis on a 95 degree day. 1 helped out. 1 had a Taconic T-shirt in thecar and called out the approaching runners to the announcer at thefinish line. We are ubiquitousThe winning time was 32 minutes in change Not bad at all. Andthe last runner to come in received a huge ovation, he was a petite335 pounds If you live long enough you'll see everything. I foundthis to be a very fun filled and jolly event.

    RECORD NUMBERS COMPETE IN 1999B I A T H L O N

    by Bill Foley and Joe JeraciSeventeen year old Danielle Weiss wonfor the third t ime in a row and JohnAlbanese returned to the winners circlein the 1999 Taconic Biath lon. JoanneGeisi, improving from third in 1998 andLincoln Taylor, finished second. Thesefour finished just as they did in 1997.

    While the top echelon was the same, the race had the most entrantsand competitors in many years, sported a longer swim and distributed awards only a cookie hater could argue about. One participantwas so taken with the swim he attempted it again, only to be turnedaway by the lifeguardsAs usual, our volunteers did an outstanding job of making allaspects of the race run smoothly. We can't thank each volunteerindividually for fear of leaving someone out, but we know who wasthere and what their contribution meant to us and the success ofthe race.This year we had some wonderful sponsors, primarily CoachLimo and Jeraci Foods, whose generous contibutions help to continue this great race's tradition. Chase Manhattan Bank, Mrs. Green'sHealth Food Store and Margie Jeraci representing Mary Kay Cosmetics contributed gift certificates and goodie bags items. Pleaseremember without our sponsors support we would not be able toenjoy many of our races. Please patronize our sponsors and letthem know how you heard of them.

    Congratulations to this year's winners. We hope all of our winners enjoyed the taste of victory, If you were one of the fortunateprize earners, you'd have to agree the awards were much tastier thisy e a r .See you next year

    Eat, Drink, Go like heck4 nutritional strategies to help you run your bestby Scott Fisher^ M.S.y R.D

    Are you looking to improve upon your 5K best or maybe increase yourmileage in preparation for a Fall marathon? Maybe instead of focusing onyour training program, you should be paying a bit more attention to yournutrition plan. It's been clear to exercise physiologists and sports nutritionists for years that diet has a profound impact on physical performance. Toput it simply, if you're not properly fueled up, your performance is goingto be compromised. Just what does that mean to a runner? Well, it meansthat by employing some simple nutritional strategies, you may experiencesome significant improvements in your speed, endurance, and even recovery times after tough workouts and races. Consider trying the followingstrategies.1. Carbo load...al l the t imeWithout question, carbohydrate is the most important fuel for runnerswhether we run fast or slow, short or long. Despite this fact, many of us failto consistently consume an adequate intake of carbohydrate choosing onlyto do so the night before an important race. Without adequate carbohydratestored in your muscles and liver as glucose and glycogen, not only will yourendurance capacity be diminished but also your ability to run fast at distances of 5K and up.To ensure that you're properly fueled up with carbohydrate, roughly two-thirds of the calories you consume on a daily basis should come from carbs.Fortunately, most foods high in carbohydrate and low in fat are easilydigestible and readily metabolized for quick energy. For best results, centereach meal around high-carbo foods and additionally consume a small, highcarbo meal or snack of 300-500 calories, two to four hours prior to your run.Best choices for high-carbohydrate foods

    Pasta, rice, breads, cereals, grainsFruits, VegetablesEnergy bars like PowerBar (make sure you read the labels of otherenergy bars...some are low in carbohydrate and much higher in fatand protein)Skim milk and low-fat yogurtIt's interesting to note that for every gram of carbohydrate your body storesas glycogen, you also store three grams of water. So when you're trulycarbo loaded, it's not uncommon to feel a bit heavy and even bloated,

    especially if you're tapering down for a big race and aren't running as muchas you normally would. But don't worry, all that water you've stored willalso benefit you when you run.2. Dr ink l ike a flshThe importance of hydration is another performance factor that many runners underemphasize. A fluid loss of as little as 2% body weight can impairperformance and put you at risk for a myriad of heat-related disorders.That's only 3 pounds of fluid loss for a 150 pound runner It's alsoimportant to keep in mind that dehydration is not only an issue in warmweather, but is also quite prevalent in cooler temperatures when manyrunners let their guard down. When your body's fluid level is low, yourheart works harder to pump blood and keep you cool. The consequence isthat you are either forced to slow down or suffer more to maintain yourpace .The good news is that dehydration is easy to prevent. Just make sure thatyou're well hydrated prior to your run. Here's how.In the two hour prior to your run, drink 16-20 ounces (2-214 cups) of water

    or a sports drink. Anything more is likely to be excreted out in theu r i n e .

    Additionally, drink another 4-8 ounces of fluid in the 10 minutes just priorto your run.A good measure of your hydration status is the color of your urine. If it isclear or very pale yellow, your tank is full. If it's dark yellow ororange, keep drinking

    There's been a good deal of recent research on a nutritional supplement thatmay help runners and other endurance athletes to stay hydrated, especiallyin events lasting longer than an hour. The supplement is gylcerol. Thebenefit of glycerol is that when consumed, it acts veiy much like a spongehelping athletes to superhydrate. A number of well-controlled studies havedemonstrated that with glycerol, athletes can perform at higher intensitylevels for longer durations. The supplement Is now commercially availableas a full-strength liquid or as part of a sports drink. The full strengthproduct needs to be diluted with water or sports drink. The amount ofglycerol consumed, typically in the two hours before an event, is dependent upon your body weight.While glycerol shows promise as a helpful supplement for runners, especially marathoners, exercise a bit of caution if you plan to give it a try.Always experiment during a training run before using it for in importantrace. Some who use the product have experienced a bit of gastrointestinaldistress or a mild headache.3. Drink and Eat on the runWhile proper hydration and carbo loading are important prior to running,you may further aid your efforts by continuing to provide your body withfluid and carbohydrate during a run. While this strategy may be unnecessary for runs lasting less than 60 minutes, it could pay big performancedividends for longer workouts or races.Even a well-hydrated runner can lose up to two liters of fluid throughsweating for every hour of exercise. At that rate, your fluid reserves canbecome quickly depleted and your running performance can start to suffer.To compensate for fluid loss thought sweat, shoot to drink up to 8-10ounces of fluid every 15 minutes during the run. That's about all your bodycan absorb during exercise and drinking any more than that may lead to anupset stomach. As always, plain old water is never a bad choice of fluid,but a sports drink may be even better. Popular sports drinks like Gatoradeare formulated to be rapidly absorbed during exercise, even faster than plainwater, and also provide the added benefit of small amounts of carbohydrateand electrolytes.With the advent of sports gels like PowerGel and GU, eating on the run hasnever been easier. Again, these products may not do much for you unlessyou're running for longer than an hour. However, during long runs, theyprovide a quick source of carbohydrate calories, usually about 100 caloriesper gel. That may not sound like a lot considering you bum more than thatin a single mile, but taking in one to two gels per hour during a long run canreally spare your own carbohydrate stores and leave you feeling strong inthe end. There are two things to be cautious of when using energy gels.First, they are typically concentrated sugar and should be washed downwith about 8 ounces of fluid when taken to prevent stomach distress.Secondly, some gels contain caffeine and ginseng and should be avoided ifyou have a particular sensitivity to either.4. Try a little protein with your carbohydrate for a speedy recoveryThe first three strategies discussed should help you to get through your runfeeling your best. This one should help you recover faster and feel fresherfor your next workout. Again, the focus is on consuming carbohydrate, thistime to replenish what you used on your run. Research has demonstratedthat your body is most efficient at storing carbohydrate in the two hoursimmediately after a workout. Wait any longer than that and you diminishthe amount of glycogen you can pack away.Recent research has also discovered that when you consume a bit of proteinalong with carbohydrate, you further enhance your body's ability to storeglycogen. The ideal ratio of carbohydrate to protein seems to be about 4:1.This can be achieved very simply by drinking a glass of skim milk alongwith your pasta or fruit salad. You could also add a bit of high-qualityprotein to your carbo-reloading by adding some low-fat yogurt or a fewounces of chicken breast, lean red meat, or fish.Scott Fisher, M.S., R.D. is a dietitian and exercise physiologist, a contributingwriter to Runner's World magazine, and the head running coach for the NorthJersey Team In Training Program.
