THE LOOP October—November 2018 Endless Summer 5K & 10K THE LOOP October—November 2018 Endless Summer 5K & 10K As the sun rose over Anastasia Park and our beautiful ocean, it also began baking the sandy beach and over 600 athletes prepar- ing to challenge themselves on one of two demanding courses. This was the largest Endless Summer run in history. The two courses shared the beach for two miles. It was difficult to find a comfortable rhythm on the undulating terrain left by the outgoing tide. As runners left the beach Photo Courtesy Jim Wauldron they had to negotiate a soft dune and a narrow boardwalk. The 5K was done In This Issue: but the 10K runners headed toward the wooded trails of the park. Though some of the 10K course was shaded, the day’s heat continued to build.

He was one of the six founding members of Ancient City Road Runners back in 1981 or thereabouts. They were approached to take over the running of the Matanzas 5000 in it’s fourth year. He and his wife Nancy still par- ticipate in the organization of this great local race. Although you won’t see him at any of the organized club runs these days, he still keeps up a religious regime of running three to four times and 30 miles a week, “whether I want to or not”, he laughs. He could still show Don is on the right. some of us up with his 9 to 10 minute pace. He says that he prefers to run alone these days 99% of the time “because I am so busy and like to get runs in before my day starts”. “How long have you been running?” I asked him. “I can’t remember when I didn’t run.” He chuckles. He competed in the Junior Olympics in high school and being short at 5.0’ tall his coach had to find him size 4 ½ running shoes. He wrestled in junior college and used running to get his weight down for wrestling, which he said helped to sweat pounds off. Don attended the University of Florida where he was working on a five year mechanical engineering degree, but the Vietnam War effort interrupted his studies. He spent his working life as military per- sonnel for 4 years; a farmer in Alabama for 8 years; then 32 years at FSDB as an electronic technician and Apple technician. Now retired, his days are still busy with going to the gym 3 x week, where he works complimentary muscle groups with 32 different sets of weights; fishing on the Atlantic and St. Johns River; riding Harley Davidson motorcycles (his dad opened a Harley Davidson dealership in 1946 and he used to race the bikes to promote the business.) I asked him if he still ran races and he said yes, but mainly the smaller races with his Godchildren, and the Gate River Run. He ran 13 marathons, the last being in Boston in 1987 at age 40. He had an obses- sion to run 2:40 marathons. (He used to fly to Boston on Peoples Airline for $50, when you paid when you got onboard). I asked Don what he thought was the best about running with a group, and ACRR? “The best part is being with fun, optimistic people, the camaraderie and talking while you run.” Finally, I asked him “Don, what else would you like to add?” “If you see a new runner, introduce yourself to them. I’m an introvert, but you have to force yourself to do it.” Great advice, don’t you think? by Andrea Giovanni 3 THE LOOP SPOTLIGHT on Tracy Vann Lee, ACRR President Meet Tracy Vann Lee (aka Bama Mojo – Hash Name) At 55 years young, she is a woman of many skills and wears many hats. She moved from Alabama to Florida and married Drew in 2008 (celebrating their 10 year anniversary in August of 2018), and shortly after joined ACRR in 2009. Tracy started running in 2008 and jumped into her first 5K in February of that year. She felt like she needed to take charge of her mid-life lifestyle and improve her health. Tracy found that travelling between Alabama and Florida and having her husband gone with his job, made it difficult for her to get to know anyone, so the running group was a great way to become in- volved with a community and to make new friends. She says that “All of my relationships have evolved from running, and that it is my touchstone to St. Augustine.” Tracy and her ever smiling face can be seen at the Thursday morning OFC run, the Saturday morning Publix run, and alternating Tuesday OFC morning and Tuesday evening Publix run, and sometimes the newly formed Wednesday evening downtown run. Tracy does not run in many races (she often volunteers) but enjoys the destination races such as Key West Half Marathon. She ran a Marathon in Albany GA in 2012 with an impressive time of 4:18 at age 49. That race was run entirely in rain from and included a tornado!!! (No wonder she ran so fast)! Running a second marathon is on her bucket list. Let’s hope she has better weather for the next one. Tracy is not a fan of 5K’s “because they are too fast for me!” She likes to run a steady and more com- fortable 10+ minute pace on her regular runs these days. She also does weight-lifting, enjoys bike rid- ing on the beach and is a member at Bailey’s fitness. But finding time for these pursuits is challenging as she has a very active lifestyle with her jobs. When she is not running around selling real estate, or doing bankruptcy para legal work, she is reno- vating flip houses and performing ACRR president duties.

Semi-Final 2................23-42 Culture Club covers! Robot laser heart surgery! Norwegian grumble rapping! Thursday’s qualifier is a little more staid, but there’s going to plenty of it that makes it through to the grand final – so best to bone up on it all...

    Semi Final 2 2019 Country Singer Song Comment My 10 to final Guessing Final 10 to pass to the Final Armenia Srbuk Walking out Armenia is a country almost always passing on to the final and I usually don’t get it. The same this year, I really don’t like this song even if they for once try to pop it up a bit. Not my cup of tea Ireland Sarah McTernan 22 Ireland, Ireland, Ireland. I said it before and I repeat myself, send Johnny Logan with an old school ballad again and you will win. Sarah go to Tel Aviv with a ok pop tune but again so composed to fit into a radio playlist close to you Moldova Anna Odobescu Stay Together with Macedonia this years best ballads. Both in this semi and only one will pass through and I think I will be Macedonia. But I like this one. Switzerland Luca Hänni She got me A song I liked from the first time I heard it but also started to get tiered of after a short amount of time. But most people will hear it for the first time so… Think its an easy walk to the final but maybe not the winner 2019. Good work tho´ Latvia Carousel That night I like this song each time I hear it but its also forgotten 1 second after the last note. I think Latvia will stay in the semi final this year. Romania Ester Peony On a Sunday Maybe a jury favorite but for heavens sake who will call on these 3 minutes of crap? One of the worst songs this year.

    Eurovision Song Contest: la musica che unisce l'Europa... e non solo! C'è chi la definisce la "Champions League" della musica e in fondo non sbaglia. L'Eurovision è una grande festa, ma soprattutto è un concorso in cui i Paesi d'Europa si sfidano a colpi di note. Tecnicamente, è un concorso fra televisioni, visto che ad organizzarlo è l'EBU (European Broadcasting Union), l'ente che riunisce le tv pubbliche d'Europa e del bacino del Mediterraneo. Noi italiani l'abbiamo a lungo chiamato Eurofestival, i francesi sciovinisti lo chiamano Concours Eurovision de la Chanson, l'abbreviazione per tutti è Eurovision. Oggi più che mai è una rassegna globale, che vede protagonisti nel 2019 41 paesi: 40 aderenti all'ente organizzatore più l'Australia, che dell'EBU è solo membro associato, essendo fuori dall'area, ma che nel 2015 fu invitata per festeggiare i 60 anni del concorso per via dei grandi ascolti che la rassegna fa in quel paese e che poi, a partire dal 2016, è stata ufficialmente invitata dall’organizzazione. L'ideatore della rassegna fu un italiano, Sergio Pugliese, nel 1956 direttore della RAI, che ispirandosi a Sanremo volle creare una rassegna musicale europea. La propose a Marcel Bezençon, il franco-svizzero allora direttore generale del neonato consorzio eurovisione, che mise il sigillo sull'idea: ecco così nascere un concorso di musica con lo scopo nobile di promuovere la collaborazione e l'amicizia tra i popoli europei, la ricostituzione di un continente dilaniato dalla guerra attraverso lo spettacolo e la tv. E oltre a questo, molto più prosaicamente, anche sperimentare una diretta in simultanea in più paesi e promuovere il mezzo televisivo nel vecchio continente.
