In Passing ● March/April 2006 ● secondwindrunningclub.org IN PASSING Second Wind 2006 Runner Awards

Many Second Wind members gathered in January to celebrate with a banquet and awards ceremony. The following award-winners gained recognition for a variety of achievements, from setting personal bests to being unbelievably consistent. This list should by no means be considered a full run-down of their successes.

Male Runner of the Year–Chris Byron Chris’ accomplishments in 2005 included running the Boston Marathon in 3 hours, 3 seconds; winning the overall Clydesdale award at the Wild, Wild Wilderness and running the Delavan Half-Marathon in 1:21:32.

Male Master Runner of the Year–Ivan Fink Ivan ran 30 races in 2005, and ran every day last year. With this, he has run every day for eleven- and-a-half years. Ivan’s personal highlight of the year was finishing first in the 55-59 age catego- ry at an 8-kilometer race in Arizona.

Most Improved Male–Eric Smith Eric scored by completing his first 50- and 100-mile races in 2005. He racked up 41.98 miles at the Howl at the Moon, and set a new personal record of 1:35:26 for the half-marathon distance.

Female Runner of the Year–Kristy Powell Kristy sliced nine minutes off her marathon personal record, and was a top 500 finisher at the Chicago Marathon. She also finished two other marathons, including Boston, and won a half- marathon in Bloomington. She also spoke at Second Wind Women’s Running Group sessions.

Female Master Runner of the Year–June Linder June home-schools her four children, and still makes time to run. Her finishes included first in her age group at the Wild, Wild Wilderness, and second in her age group at a Jingle Bell 5-kilometer. June was also seen finishing some area triathlons, proving that versatility is still within her grasp.

Most Improved Female–Marla Luckey Marla just joined the world of ultra-running last year, and logged over 1,500 miles for the year. She set the female course record at the Riddle Run in 2005 (before doing this again in 2006), finished third overall at the 2005 Kentucky Ultra Trail Sojourn 50-kilometer, and covered 40 miles at the Howl at the Moon.

110% Effort–Bill Dey & Kelly Bails Bill and Kelly are both generous contributors to Second Wind. Bill coordinated both the spring and fall marathon training programs, and volunteered at many road races. Kelly was integral in creating the Second Wind Women’s Running/Walking Program, and maintains Second Wind’s impressive web site.

It was almost a spring like day for the Illinois version Fat-Ass 50-Kilometer held at McNabb, a small town near La Salle and the Illinois River, on January 8. Bill Dey, Gregg Rose, and I traveled there on an early Sunday morning. This was a free race with plenty of donated aid. There were self- serve aid stations every two-and- a-half miles! The race starts at a junior high school. The course is on blacktop and gravel roads. The runners cover a half-mile out and back section, and then three five- mile out and backs. It’s easy to see where you are compared to the others in the race. Friends from Wisconsin and Indiana, Christine Crawford and Ellen Erhardt, joined Don Frichtl, Ellen Erhardt, Gregg Rose, Christine Crawford, and Bill Dey us to do the run.

By Jeff Kelly

Spring is a time of rejuvenation, rebirth and reaffirmation. The season is also a time for runners to assess their fitness levels after a long winter that was likely filled with lots of slow, steady running and probably some vigorous, healthy holiday meals. Eggnog and pumpkin pie come to mind, as they do quite often. Anyway, the spring can also be a good time to enter a race without any clear goal, as only a test. Those usually-abundant 5-kilometer races are nowhere to be found, though, as the area’s spring competitions are comprised of mainly long-distance ventures. Several C-U hoofers also plan to make the annual trip down to the River to River relay this year. Have at it! Putting yourself through one of the following tests could open your eyes, and make the rest of the year’s possibilities seem limitless.

The Kennekuk Road Runner’s 20th Annual Mountain Goat Hill Runs

The Kennekuk group is legendary for putting on great races and festive after-race parties, and this, the second event in the club’s “Grand Slam 2006” series, should be no different. Probably the most grueling of any of KRR’s races (some would argue the Howl at the Moon tops this one), the Mountain Goat Hill Runs are really just tough, nasty hills that rise up to meet you time and time again. Runners have two distances to choose from this year, and walkers can enter the 5-kilometer walk. WHEN AND WHERE? Saturday, March 18, 2006 at the Kickapoo Recreation Area, just west of Danville. All three events start at 10:30 a.m. WHY SHOULD I GO? There will be lots of supporters to cheer you on each time you crest that final hill (you do this three times in the 15-K). Each 15-K finisher receives a numbered award at the finish.Also, you can purchase a special 15-K Canvas Raglan long-sleeve shirt and find out just what in the world that means. WHAT’S A GOOD RACE STRATEGY? Frankly, you’re very likely not going to run a personal best on this course. The undulations are just too massive, and the downhills, while frequent, aren’t enough to compensate for the numerous climbs. Try to settle into a steady rhythm, recover on the switchback that occurs in the middle of each out-and-back, and don’t start really pushing yourself until the second half of the last go-around.

The Lake Sara Dam Run

Somewhat of a hidden treasure, the Lake Sara Dam Run near Effingham has traditionally drawn modest crowds, decent weather, great volunteers and an after-race feast that borders on obscene. The X-factor for this race has usually been the wind, which has been known to sweep across the barren cornfields and relentlessly slam the 8-milers during the first half of the race. There could be hope, this year, though. The race flyer bills the 8-miler as being a revamped course. You’ll have to show up to find out what this means. WHEN AND WHERE? Saturday, April 1, 2006. Lake Sara, five miles northwest of Effingham, Illinois. Take Interstate 57 to Exit 160, go north on Route 32-33 to the Lake Sara Road, and follow the prominent, hard-to- miss signs. We’re talking big signs. Nell-Carter big. (Am I dating myself with this reference?) This is probably about an hour and twenty minute’s drive from Champaign-Urbana. WHY SHOULD I GO? As previously stated, 5-kilometer races are just rare beasts around here in the spring. In addition, the 8-miler can serve as a good tool for you to pin down your lactate-threshold pace, one of the best

14 In Passing ● March/April 2006 ● secondwindrunningclub.org Second Wind

indicators of running fitness. Also, there’s a post-race feast that would put any buffet restaurant to shame. Pizza, submarine sandwiches, chips, pork burgers, drinks, you name it, this race will probably have it. It’s almost as if the race organizers first planned a huge meal and then added the races as an afterthought. The awards impressive, numerous and handed out “minutes after you finish,” according to the race flyer. WHAT’S A GOOD RACE STRATEGY? Both courses are basically flat, so there’s no need to worry about the elevation factor. The afore-mentioned wind usually does rear its head, though, so the 8-milers would play it smart to hold back until the wind is at their backs and then really let things fly. The 5-kilometer is just an out- and-back course, and sound strategy is always to pre-determine your goal pace and try to stick to even splits. Dropping a minute per mile in a 5-kilometer isn’t pretty, but can be pretty easy to do. HOW DO I ENTER? Entry forms are available at Body n’ Sole in Savoy. Pre-entries must be received by March 17.

Buffalo Trace Trail Race

By Bill Dey

The 4th annual Buffalo Trace Trail Race will be held on May 20 this year. The first three years, 110 to 130 runners finished the race. It was moved from April to May to avoid con- flicting with some other local races. The race is run on rolling, wide, mostly grass trails at Lake-of-the-Woods County Forest Preserve outside of Mahomet, Illinois. The area contains a portion of a route, or “trace”, used by migrating prairie bison once native to the region. You can register by mail (an entry form is in the back of this issue). Also, registration and packet pickup will be available at Body n Sole the Friday before the race or at the Mahomet High School on race day. Race day parking is also at the high school, there is about a 1/4 mile walk to the start/finish area. The five mile course is almost completely wide grass trails, even in raining conditions, there are only a few sections that get muddy. There are also two small stream crossings; one involves about a 2-3 foot leap and the other about a 5 foot jump or the use of some rocks as stepping stones. Last year there was standing water in a couple of other areas on the course. The course is well marked. The trail is wide enough that there are very few places where you can’t pass other runners. The course has one aide station which is passed twice, once at 1.5 miles and again at 3 miles. Most of the course is wooded and out of the wind, but the last mile is in the open and almost straight west. A strong west wind could be a hindrance in the home stretch. The post race activities are held outdoors at the start/finish area. Results are calculated and awards announced promptly. Some light refreshments are usually available at the finish. Each runner receives a t-shirt, the past shirt designs have been pretty cool, if you like bison. For an entry fee of $12 with shirt, this race is a great value and a great racing opportunity.

By Erik

The 2006 version of Chilly Chili was a go, despite the smaller than usual turnout. It was decided earlier in the week that the theme was “Buffalo Wings. The Buffalo wings were elaborately constructed by Don Frichtl. There were quite a few runners who went wild with the costumes. Paul Martin of Bloomington came away with least dressed, wearing only a Tarzan- type loin cloth. The Buffalos kept their pride and stayed warm to boot! It was a very sunny day, and the weather was a little breezy, but felt pretty good. We started out at a blistering pace heading out on Brian Kuhn, Eric Smith, Tom Rice and Don Frichtl the 4.37 mile loop. Don and Tom started going out way too fast, so (Spam flavored Gatorade), Spam hind us ran a much better race, and Brian and I had to reel them in.

By Randy Norris

This was a no-frills, self-supported run of 28.35 miles, run on the prairie near Mahomet, Illinois. 7 times around the 4.05 mile course.

One of the highlights of the day was the National Anthem, as performed by Pork and the Havana Ducks and played over the airwaves especially for the race by ‘Lonesome Larry’, the Saturday morning show host on WWHP, Farmer City. (Playing the best in blues, bluegrass, alternative and traditional country, rock, gospel and American Roots music.) With us all gathered around Race Director Jeff Riddle’s portable radio, Lonesome Larry gave a shout-out and a weather report to the Riddle Runners, then played The Star-Spangled Banner. As Pork sang the final refrains, there was a low flyover of geese in perfectV formation. A classic moment.

Next, the 1st place men’s and women’s traveling trophies were presented for viewing and admiration. For the men, a roll of toilet paper stolen from one of the finest mini-marts in the Midwest, signed by each year’s winner. For the women, a small plush toy buffalo – the Buffalette.

RD Riddle gave pre-race instructions. They went something like this: “For the 4 mile loop, follow the 5 mile trail markers, except where you shouldn’t.” “I didn’t mark the course this time… cuz I didn’t feel like it.” Not a problem, though, since everyone else knew where they were going. The course is a loop within a loop – we ran the Moses Tanui route.

I only messed up once, knowing I’d gone wrong when I heard, “Left, Left, Left!”, “Right, Right, Right!”. I guess I’d better work on that whole left, right, left, right thing.

Of the 68 starters, 11 of us finished the full 28.35 miles. Anyone finishing at least one loop got a finisher’s award – one of 75 cream-filled chocolate cupcakes baked by RD Jeff’s wife. Here’s RD Jeff presenting me with my award.

Thanks to Jeff for organizing some fine mid-winter fun and Jeff Riddle presents Randy Norris with a thanks to Brian for the post-race beer. cream filled cupcake.

“The weather was bad: 40’s, never rained much or got real windy, a pretty dull day weatherwise. We enjoyed The Fast Pack; David Schugg, Randy Stearns, another Mark Daly production at the Scott Algren, Rick Rundus and Chris Byron start with Lonesome Larry of 98.3 FM doing the national anthem, which included a perfect fly over performed by 10 geese!! I do not know how Mark arranged that, but it was great!! We had 68 starters, 67 signups, 21 walk- ups , 20 no shows, and 79 cupcakes made and all enjoyed.”
