A Great Weekend for Everyone but the Turkey Every April, with John Prohira's encouragement, a substantia l contingent of area runners joins him at the Bull Run Run (www.vhtrc.org/brr)nearManassas.Virginia. This year the race fell on the same weekend as the Boston Marathon with the same unseasonably hot weather to challenge the runners . And, for some, as Dan Kress reports on page 4, just getting to the race was an adventure.

President's Colwnn By Paul Kato

It 's now the midway point of 2004. Hard to believe when it seems like only a few weeks ago we were complaining about snow, cold weather and rain! It 's funny how the change of seasons gives us something to talk about, and at times complain about, here in "pstate New York. I look forward to Spring, Summer and Fall - winter is a season I simply try to survive.

1 am having a down year from the perspective offaces. I didn't even do the last four Freezeroo races. I missed the Spring Forward race. And di tto for tl,e CATS half maratllOn and the half marathon at Ontario Shores. 1 tell myself just as we sometimes are able to focus and peak, there are times when we are in a "valley". I certainly feel the valley part of the cycle. I still run during the week, but Ijust don' t race as often. One of tbe guys I run with at lunch, "Pinky", has been asking difficult questions -the kind of questions you'd like to run away from rather than answer, The truth hurts sometimes. And I also reaLize that it takes a lot of energy to do some of the things I did in the past -energy that lately I simply don 't have. Maybe that is it; I'm in a low energy cycle. We ll , let's see how the summer progresses.

Kevin Lucas has agreed to join OUf board. He is another very talented and welcome addition to the board (we added three people last month). Kevin is a specialist in measuring and certi fying race courses. About 30% of the area races are actually certified distances. Any race directors who don't have a certified course, 1 ask that you contact Kevin and work out a schedule with him to certify your course.

We are stiB in need of a Freezeroo series race director. The planning cycle really kicks into high gear in another 6 - 8 weeks, so we need someone to volunteer soon to keep this wonderful series going. Laurie Smith, the past race director, has created a wonderful notebook which will serve as the foundation of wbat needs to be done. Some of the raccs have wonderful race directors such as the Greece race captained by Bob Dyjak and the Powder Mill race organized by Bill Hearne and the Oven Door runners. My point is, tbere is support in place for some oftbe deta ils. However, don't underestimate the effort to direct a series of six races every two weeks. Luckily, to counterbalance things, the races are considered low key. For more information, contact me or Laurie.

A new running store is slated to open in the Rochester area - Fleet Feet. I understand Ellen and Boots will be the owners. J don 't have much more information at this lime. Maybe by the next newsletter 1 can teU you more. Look for ads or emails in the weeks ahead.

I wish each runner a pleasant summer - enjoy your runs and races!

GRTC Board of Directors Meeting Tuesday, April 13, 2004

Attendees: Wilt Alston, Greg Brooks, Rick Cronise, Bob Dyjak, Roger Howe, John Hultz, Doug Jones, Paul Kato, John Osowski, Tom Perry, Pete Van Peursem

G uests: Kevin Lucas

The previous meeting minutes were approved as written .

Rose Linscoll did not attend the meeting but provided the month's treasurer's report via email.

Doug Jones reported that our membersbip is currently at 5 17.

Ann Procopio indicated via email tbat sbe is pursuing a couple of new advertisers.

John Hultz stated that tbe Spring Track Workouts will be Thursday evenings at Nazareth College beginning April 29th The clinics will start at 5:45 PM w ith the workouts following at about 6: 15 PM. Sign-ups tbus far are lagging previous years with only 30 commitments to date.

Wilt Alston is now on Board and has assumed responsibili ty for mercbandise.

Kevin Lucas attended our meeting 10 introduce himself. He is a race course certifier, having been active some years ago in Texas and recently relocated to Rocbester. Oftbe 125 races in the Rochester area, only about 30% are certified . His goal is to bave tbe majority (75-80%) of tbe races in Rocbester certified.

Tbe Board spent the bulk. of the meeting discussing our immediate need for a newsletter editor. Tbe June newsletter is definitely in jeopardy. The quality of the publication is at an all time best, but we may bave raised the bar too high for one person to consistently produce it. Formatting race results appears to be one of tbe big time consumers so we may either significantl y reduce or totally eliminate them from the newsletter content since most of our members can access them on the web. We will also consider this as a paid position, since it appears to go beyond a volunteer assignment. We will also pursue the Messenger Post and RlT students as a less-expensive way to assemble, edit and produce future newsletters. We need to survey our membership to see what the expectation is for newsletter content and availability of hard copy versus the web.

Trip Report: "Bull Run Run 50" 2004 By Dan Kress

"Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of- but do it in private and wash your hands ajren vords . . , Robert Heinlein

We knew it was going to be an exciting weekend when we were attacked by a low-flying homicidal turkey at 75 m.p.b.

But let' s, as they say, begin at the beginning. This was a rough winter to try to go out and train . After the morning of 8 miles at 18-below-zero (January 10), I even adopted a I O-below rule. But [ wanted to train bard and improve on last year's times - by a lot! In particular, on 10 hours and 9 minutes in Virginia. So with the help of a manic Border Collie and more than a few of the Oven Door Runners, that's what [ spent the last 3 months getting ready to do.

And after weeks of running in the winter weather, April finally arrives, and with it the annual woodland bacchanalia known as the Bull Run Run. This year, Jim Blaakman, John Prohira, Doug Jones, Patti Hahn, Anna Beresniewicz, Joe Gilroy and [ aU signed up for a return visit to the Hemlock Overlook Regional Park, in Fairfax County just east of Manassas. Glen Burkhartt and Sue Allen were miling their first trip to the race. And Bill Hearne, Marissa Gordon and Doug' s wife Rosemary were along for moral support and pacing duties as required.

On the Thursday morning before the race, I meet Joe and Bill for the long drive to Virginia, by way of Maryland and West Virginia. Our goal was to climb the higbest points in those states on our way south to the woods and trails of the Bull Run/Occoquan River valley.

'~s God is my witness, llhoughl turkeys couldfly!!!" -- Gordon Jump, WKRP in Cincinnati

• ••

In Pennsylvania, south of Erie, Bill is driving, and Joe is in the passenger seat. If the answer to the question, "why did the turkey try to cross the interstate?" is "to get to the other side," aliI can tell you is that it didn 't work out that way. Suddenly there is about 30 pounds of bird directly between us and the road ahead. We can see it coming and there is absolutely no way to avoid it. At 75 m.p.h., it doesn 't come through the windshield, but it makes a substantial dent in the glass before it bounces over the top of the vehicle. The glass is fractured from the top comer wbere the bird hit, directly in front of Joe, al l the way across to the inspection and registration stickers, and tiny pieces of glass are everywhere.

After Joe has started breatlling again, we spend the next two hours calling the insurance company and glass shops in searcb of a new windshield. Fortunately we are able to find a nearby shop that has tbe right windsbield in stock, and are able to get it cbanged and be on our way south. I remind Joe that, by any measure, we are still baving a better day than the turkey.

The next point of interest on tbis already too-exciting tour is Rowlesburg, West Virginia. About loca l law enforcement in Rowlesburg I will only say that it is a good thing we did not have a bumper sticker that said, "BAD COP! NO DONUT!"

Eventually the next morning we made it to tile top of Backbone Mountain in Maryland, and Spruce Knob in West Virginia. Next year we won't be going througb Rowlesburg.

• •• "If you're not projecti le vomiting and there are no compound fractures, you keep moving." - Last-minute advice given 10 Sue Allell

A total of339 people have signed up to run tltis race. At 6: 15 a.m. on Saturday morning, we start into the woods. Quickly it was light enough to actually see clearly, and we headed down lhe hill to the water. Sbortly the sky cleared and the sun came down through the trees to shine on Virginia bluebells just beginning to bloom.

Continued on page 5

Keep Track 4

It's about 40 degrees at the start, but we know it is not going to stay that way for long. We've been warned at the pre-race briefing that the forecast is for temperatures close to 80. So many of the runners go out aggressively, to cover as much ground as they can, before it gets too warm. We head north along the stream and then back to the start, covering the first 13 miles quickly. I want to mn between 10- and II-minute miles, and that is exactly what I do. Just before running up the hill to the aid station at the start, another runner next to me remarks that "we'll be back here again in only 7 hours." "That's the plao; we' ll see how it actually works out," 1 reply. It's already getting noticeably warm.

The sun is shining. It 's good to head back into the woods and a little shade. At the Marina there are fresh strawberries; at the next stop, Wolf Run Shoals, there are ice cream sandwiches. I can't say enough nice things about the volunteers who put on this race aod the great job they do. From there jt's on to the Fountainhead, but first the seemingly never-ending Whjte Loop. It feels like l'm runnjng in circles for 45 minutes before I fmally come out of it and arrive at the Fountainhead. At this point it 's 4 hours, 55 minutes into the race. The good news is l've already gone 27 miJes 5 minutes faster than last year; the not-sa-good news is that I can't keep up the pace any more.

* * *

"Do you hear that, Mr. Anderson? That is the sound of inevitability."

- Hugo Weaving, The Matrix

It's a vety long 2 miles from the Fountainhead to the infamous Do Loop. The Loop is uke some kind of temporal vortex in a bad Star Trek epjsode- the faster I try to push the more I slow down. It might have something to do with the fact that it feels like it's about 95 degrees back in there. 1 pass Jim Blaakman, already on the way back out, looking either in the zone or slightly dazed by the heat. H's hard to tell which. H takes 2 hours to get to and through the Loop, and back to the Fountainhead. I can feel my plan for a sub-I O-hour goal Slipping away, and like the turkey about to hit the windshield, there doesn't seem to be anything to do to avoid it.

At the Fountailthead Joe and Anna bave called it a day, and Bill and Marissa are waiting for the rest of the group to come through. 1 feel awful but am too proud to admit it to them, let alone that I have been thinking about dropping out myself. Moral support works wonders. After 35 miles I finally figure out how to take care of a liule problem I've been having since the start. J decide to try a science experiment, aod see what happens when I take electrolytes, ibuprofen and kaopectate all at once. Then it ' s back out onto the trail again.

Heading back towards the White Loop and Wolf Run Shoals 1 pass Pani, looking unperturbed by the heat or anything else, then Sue, looking like she's having a great time, and Glen, looking entirely too laid back. Seeing the thrce of them reminds me the point of this is not just to endure but to bave fun , and I try to relax, stop worrying about the clock, enjoy the sun and the insistently honking geese on the water, and an exceptional day .

• * *

"If we don't succe~d, we run the risk of failure ." - Dan Quayle

At the Marina 1 am greeted by Anna and Rosemary, who reload my water bottles and tell me everyone else is still moving. I bead out quickly, but the last 5 :I, miles from the Marina to the fmish take an interminable 79 minutes, just like last year. I won't do what I came to do, but just fiillshing (in what I find out later is 82-degree weather) seems like enough. Tbe last big hill just before the finish is really annoying. But on the other band, it's no Garnsey Road either.

At 10 hours and 4 I minutes after the start, I run across the finish line. Jim greets me and we wait for John, Doug, Patti, Sue and Glen to come on in. Even the first-timers beat the cutoff. A total of262 people fini shed. It's the single toughest race I have ever run, including Haliburton.

It was a great weekend, for everyone but the turkey.

"Finish each day / And be done with it / YOli have done whal YOIl could / Some blunders and / Absurdities have crept in / Forget them as S0017 as YOll can / TomOlTow ;s a new day / YOll shall begin it serenely / And with too high a spirit / To be encumbered by / YOllr old nonsense." ~ R.

It All Began With Ted By Kevin P. Lucas, USATFIRRTC National Certifier May 2004

Wilh lhe Augusl1964 publishing of Ted Corbitt's book, Measuring Road Running Courses, began the long

journey to what we have come to know today as

"Certifying" a road-running course. Almost 40 years later the difficulty of running events with inaccurate road

running courses still exists. Certainly runners today do

not have to deal with the consistenl problems of 40 years ago. like an advertised 5-mile race lhat was really 4 miles or, at times. even 6 miles in length. Yet runners

across the counlry do run many 5KM's (3.1068560 miles) thaI are really 3 miles in length or lhe occasional 10KM (6.2137119 miles) that is much closer to 6.1 miles.

With race entry fees bejng what tlley are, what can a runner"expect in return? uA T-Shirt" some might say, while we all know most runners already have too many race T-Shirts stuffed away in closets not seen for years long after we received them. So what can be expected in return for our $15-20 entry fees? Can runners expect an accurate finish time and place? Can runners want to run in a safely conducted event with plenty of water available, First Aid from EMS personnel on site, and Police protection when sharing the roads with vehicles, which isUSATF Sanctioned? A loud "Yes, of course!" should be heard from most as the answer to each question.

What good is an accurate finish time and place run in a safely conducted USA TF Sanctioned event without the importance of an accurately measured course that has been USATFfRRTC Certified? These tllree simple key elements are married together and make for a great race worth most runners' entry fee: Safety and Sanctioning, Timing. and Certifying the measurement of a run course. Area runners should always insist on these three basic criteria of every event they participate in.

Currently, it is a little disappointing to say that Rochester Area runners have only demanded that 30% of all 125 or so Rochester area running events are run on USA TFfRRTC Certified courses.

The entire world of road running, which includes USATF, RRCA, IAAF, and AIMS, has adopted Ted Corbitt's calibrated bicycle method for measuring road-running courses. How a road-running course is measured for Certification locally is identically tbe same procedures used in measuring Boston or New York

City marathons and at the upcoming Summer Olympics marathon in Athens.

Some areas in the United States, like Texas and lIJinois, have seen as high as 150 newly USATFIRRTC Certified courses in a single year. In comparison, in 2003 all of New York had 56 courses Certified and just 3 courses were from the Greater Rochester Area. 2002 was a better year for NY with 68 courses Certified with 13 courses from Greater Rochester Area.

2004 looks brighter for local runners, there are at least 6 races that have sought Certification Renewals for their previously Certified run courses. Course Certifications carry a limited 10-year life. Courses measured and Certified prior to 200 I can renew their course Certification for an additional 10 years or until December 31 , 2011, which ever comes first.

Another 2 courses in the Rochester Area are scheduled to be re-measured and replace existing Certified courses like the Airport 5KM on June 12'" or lbe M.M edved 5KM to Cure ALS on June 20'h The biggest higblight is that there might be an additional 10 newly Certified courses, some are: the May 29" Sunset House 5KM in Irodequoit, May 30'" Waterloo Celebrate Commemorate 2004 5KM, June 12" SI. Christophcr's 5KM in Chili, July 24'" Ten Ugly Men 5KM at Genesee Valley Park, and tbe October 2'd Barktoberfest 10KM in Perinton at Lollypop Farm. Continued 01/ page 8

I have personally measured and USA TFlRRTC Certified to be Accurate tbe May 23'" Lilac 's new SKM course and (beir annual lOKM course, the May 30'" Canandaigua 's Bruce Bridgman Memorial SKM Run, YellowJacket Racing's Annual July 3,d FireCracker 5 M ile in Perinton, the August 71h Stepping Stones Learning Center's Race to M ake the Pieces Fit 5KM in Irondequoit, and tbe October 9'h Sca recrow Safe Journey SKM in Fairport. Be sure to support the hard efforts oflbese event coordinators, who have created events that give runners their moneys worth, by participating in these races with USATFIRRTC Certified Courses.

When deciding on which runs to participate in, consider looking for road race information listing their course as Cer tified to be Accurate by th e USA TF/RRTC, witb their individual course Certification Code number, i.e. NY04000KL. USATF is the acronym for USA T r ack & Field, which can be found at: http://www.usatf.org/. The USATF is the national governing body for track and fi eld and road racing in the United States. RRTC is the acronym for Road Running Technical Council, which can be found at: http ://www.rrtc.net. RRTC "works to establish and maintain a credible technical basis for the sport of road running, which includes Course Certification. Certified road running courses can be found by visiting: http ://www.usatf.org/events/courses/sea rch/and typing in the Certifi cation Code number or course name, city, and state. The course map is also available to be viewed and can be printed.

It is my hope tJlat Rochester Area runners wi ll continue to insist that race coordinators measure their courses for USATF/RRTC Certifica tion. With a free "How To" Measurement Procedures Manual available online at: http://www.r rtc.oet, and a little time in measuring, filling out an application, and drawing a detailed course map, anyone can measure a running course and submit it for Certification. ] f a running course is being measured, why not measure it using the tried aod true world standard method, the calibrated bicycle method Ted Corbitt founded.

I continue to welcome anyone wanting to learn how to measure a running course to come along on a measurement with me to see how it is done. Additionally, I will be conducting a GRTC Measurement Clinic, re-measuring the GRTC 's Couple's SKM RUD course in Mendon Ponds Park. All interested future measurers please contact me at k p lucas@frontiemet.net for more details.

Ted Corbitt would be proud to run in any Rochester Area event wi th a USATF/RRTC Certified course, so should you. Choose wisely where you are spending your road running entry fees. You' ll never have to say again, U] think I ran a PR today, but was the course accurate?"
