NEW YORK: AN EXPERIENCEScore another for New York. Fred

Lebow must have been estatic with thefinal product. With almost double theamount of runners and twice the efficiency, the Big Apple crew showed Boston once again how it should be done.Two world records didn't hurt, either.

Pre-race operations ran like a charm.There was no delay at check-in tents,even coffee stations were missing theusual long lines as runners helpedthemselves from huge urns placed atopflatbed t rucks. Numerous Por t -o-Johnsaided thousands, although John Holland may have something to say aboutt h a t .

Tom Barclay was caught red-handedremoving a Brown University sweaterfrom the disposal pile. Nice fit. Still hasit. Up on the bridge the cannon scaredthe living daylights out of a lot of runners. It was pick on the Irish time: DanCaffrey and Bob Rogan were knockedto the ground in the starting melee. Notru th to the rumor tha t Theresa Pennington was responsible.

Runners saw the first benefit of ABCTV demands early. Instead of mergingat two miles, six more were added.Gone was the usual dodging of elbows.Reduced were the number o f runnerscrossing into your path. You could actually see the road. A big plus.

A t f o u r m i l e s w a s F r e d S a m m a i l .Yelling out times, yelling out encouragement. One of 3,000 volunteers.Needed, much needed. Much more appreciated.

The weather was perfect, the crowdsterrific. There was ample water andERG. After passing Fred, Howie Bpasses me. "What happened to those6:30 miles?" he digs. A mile later I seethe chief keeping a dose eye on thelieutenant. (Translation: Owen Mc-Crudden running behind Dan Caffrey.)

As we merge another runner and iexchange good wishes. On throughWilliamsburg. This year I miss ShirleySarles. Onto the Pulaski Bridge. I am

in the company of three French runners.Deja vu. Their shirts are different, butthe Air France logo is still evident. Coming off the bridge Jay GIrardi and I meet.This year he doesn't swear at me.

Oueensboro Bridge. Love that view.First half of it seems to get longer with-each pass ing year. In to the 16thmile.Salazar ran 4:33 here. Coming offthe ramp into First Ave the atmosphereis electric, especially after the desolation of the bridge. I find myself caughtup in the excitement and have to applythe brakes a little.

The crowds seem larger this year,despite the absence of the Bergins(maybe the car pulled a hamstring). Isee and hear young Hugh O'Toole. Theexcitement in his eyes is as obvious asthe enjoyment on his face. Up aroundthe Sevent ies i t ' s John Bums' turn toact as cheer leader. At 19 John Garlepp,Miilrose, is handing out ERG to all histeammates. I drink some and pass it onto someone else.

On through Harlem, the north Bronxand 20 miles. I look for Yorktown JudgeAndrew Tully who usually makes thishis cheering post. I try to ready myselffor his camera. Damned if he, too, isn'tthere. Out campaigning for reelection Ilater find out. Prudence? The poor manhas lost his sense of priorities.

A huge king sized sheetqueensized sheet?hangs suspended froman overpass. "Good Luck, Owen Mc-Crudden," it states. A message from hisfan club. Large digital clocks mark eachmile from 20 miles on. Another benefitfrom TV. You know precisely where youare and what is happening. By mile 24I feel physically spent, but the crowdkeeps me up. Gary Steinel, the Maffe-tones, Arlene Oxman, Christine Barclayand the Neeson crew, complete withsigns, ail chip in to keep the adrenalinflowing.

Brooklyn was good. First Avenuesuper, but the crowds of Central Parktake the prize. They pull you through

those last few miles. Loud, vocal, vociferous. From Salazar right down theiine. A fitting end to a superbly organized race.

There was good news and therewere a few disappointments. Bob Ro-gan's 5th place finish in the 60 year oldage group was a fine performance.Marc Oxman and John Ansel l crackedthe 3 hour barrier for the first time. (Incidentally, Ansell and Dan Keheo finished within 6 seconds of one anotheryet never set eyes on each other theentire 26 miles.)

Steve Arnett and Barclay MacKinnonbecame first time Boston qualifiers asdid Nick Scorsone in the Master's divis i o n . A r t B r e u e r c o n t i n u e d t o s h o wsome fine Improvement as did JohnLewis. Frank Secret's 3:02 was an ex-ceilent first time performance. Pete "35-miles-a-week" Meisler had a few headsshaking with a 3:09.

Dan Campi's 3:39 was enough tosend him on a tear of the Big Apple.Melanie M. was estatic about her 3:32as was Theresa P. about her 4:01. Weknow what those two goals will be fornext year. And just to show that It's notall a matter of fast times, I don't thinkanyone was more enthusiastic than Roy"3:58" Bernstein. A first time marathonerwho nursed a pulled hamstring throughmost of the summer, Roy was just bubbling over the fact that he had made itthrough 26 miles, 385 yards. Rightly so,Roy.

P r e s i d e n t ' s C o r n e rThe first quarter of 1982 promises to

be an exciting one for TRRC. Ourschedule includes 2 club events in January for which we are in need of vol-unteers.dan. 10,1982 in Mohansic Parkand Jan . 24 ou r comb ined Run /c rosscountry ski at Beekman Country Club.The Carmel Winter Carnival Run in Feb.could always use a few more coldwea the r worke rs .

March 14 will be the 1st major eventof the year for us. With the Sponsorshipof Kangaroo Shoe Co. we will be puttingon a 15 K and a 2 mile in MohansicPark. This will be part of a nationwideseries with other races being held inBoston, St. Louis, Los Angeles and several other locations. Because of the involvement of Kangaroo we will be ableto offer T-shirts to all, quality merchandise awards and refreshments for an

entry fee of $2.00. We hope to makethis event a memorable one. Of courseputting on an event of this size takespeople, so again the plea goes out.

Areas of need in any of the aboveevents are finish line workers, timers,recorders etc. and refreshments.

If you can spare a couple of hourson any of the above dates please let usknow by dropping a line to the TRRCPC Box, stating the area you would liketo be involved in and a phone number,someone will be in touch.

At the risk of sounding like a brokenrecord, I issue a call for Help.

The Taconic Road Runner's Club isan all volunteer organization. Currentlywe have 480 memberships (as many ofthese are family - memberships thusequals approximately 800-900 members).

The administration of a club this size

has become a considerable chore. Thistime consuming role has been assumedby Mary and Larry Lenahan and family.The Lenahans have spent many anevening sitting around their kitchen table folding and stapling while preparingour many mailings and keeping track ofour members. They certainly do morethan can be expected of any one family,and yet I often have to talk Larry out oftaking on more jobs.

The TRRC newsletter Is a most Important feature of our club. Foundingeditor Howie Bashant with the technicaladvice of Phil Merritt established ournewsletter as a quality publication. HarryNeeson, current editor, has continuedthis high standard. Since Its Inceptionwe have heard a constant plea from theeditors for articles. Please, anyone whohas put any t^houghts pertaining to oursport on paper contact Harry.

WINTER RUNNINGBy Owen McCrudden

Okay guys and gals just becausewinter is upon us doesn't mean we putthe running shoes away until spring.Rather it's the time to put on that extraclothing and shed a few extra pounds.In fact, winter running can be the mostenjoyable time of the year to run. There'sno hot sun with Its debilitating effects tocontend with. What could be better thangetting out into that crisp winter air enjoying the sights and sounds of the environment while the more timid are safeand snug In their cosy entreats; But firstlet's review some safe winter runningtips to make that run more safe andenjoyable.

First of all use common sense andhave a flexible schedule. Let's face it,there are going to be some days we willnot be able to run. If there's a blizzardout there or icy road conditions why riskinjury? It's alright to miss a day. EvenGod rested on the seventh day.

Germs give us colds and viruses, notbad weather. Be carefulwearingyourself down will leave you with lessresistance to fight germs. There are justas many cold germs around in the summer ais winter. Since people are indoors

more and in closer contact with eachother we think of winter as the cold andvirus season. Try to avoid getting chilled,like your mother said, and get out ofthose wet togs as soon as poosible.

Until I warm up, I seldom feel coldwhile running. Remember you sweat asmuch In winter as summer. The reasonyou think you perspire more In the summer is because there is less evaporation. So, If you return from your runsoaking wet then you're overdressed orwearing the wrong kind of clothing.

Get a fabric that can breathe fromthe Inside out. Nylon is a great wind-breaker, but holds everything in. Avoid

bulky wear. Better to use several layersof light clothing. A cap is advisable; oneyou can pull over the ears, especiallyif you're getting a little thin on top. Heatloss is greater from the head than anywhere else on the body. Warm-up pantsand a light pair of cotton gloves, if yourhands have a tendency to get cold, willcomplete your outfit.

When it gets a little sloppy I find thatplastic baggies or wrap come in handykeeping the feet dry. If your feet getcold, then use wool socks rather thancotton. Wool is a better insulator.

Wind, that damnable wind. Since wecan't avoid it, we must contend with it.So, better to start your run into the windfor two reasons. Because of the bodybuild up of heat you will stay drier dueto the cooling effects of evaporation.Second, It's nicer to have the wind atyour back returning Instead of fightingit .

So, armed with this information, winter running can be a safe, satisfyingexperience. Use it as an endurancebase with LSD running as well as anopportunity to rest some old battle injuries. Have a nice winter.

HOLLAND, PICKERT WINCROSS COUNTRY T ITLESThis year it was not muddled and

messy. On the contrary, the air wascrisp and clear and the course wellmarked. John Holland and Judy Pickertmade the most of i t and recorded thefastest times over the Yorktown HighSchool (5K) trails to win this year's crosscountry championships.

Defending champ Howie Bashantmade the early pace in the absence ofTerry Horton who had won the threeprevious cross country series races, butsuccumbed to nagging Achilles tendon.

Dave Campbell and Steve Kelly madeearly challenges as Holland kept off thepace considerably in the opening mile.Through the middle mile first Kelly felloff and as Holland moved into contention, so too did Campbell. Half a milefrom home Holland made his move,then hung on for a 15 yard victory.

Pickert was never contested as sheoutran Sandra Hann and Susan Solowfor the women's title. Defending titlist,Jeannie Arnett did not defend. Next dayshe gave birth to a son (8 lbs. 13ozs.).Judy made it a double, picking upfirst place in the club's handicap championship ahead of Valerie Smith. Valerie's husband, David, who lived in theshadows of Valerie's win last yearplus Scotland's 1-0 victory over Englandfinally found his reward inAmerica by claiming the men's handicap championship. Howie "Always theBest Man" Bashant did it again finishingbehind the erstwhile Englishman. JohnAnsell edged out Dan Caffrey for thethird spot.

EscarpmentTrail:Methodof MadnessBy Mike Eckelman

For the second year in a row, JohnVangor, Pete Melsler, Pete Corsino andI entered into a temporary state of insanity and ran the Escarpment TraiiRun. The Escarpment is considered bymany hikers to be one of the most dif-ficuit stretches of hiking trail in theNortheast. 110 crazies who ran the racethis past Juiy will most certainly agreewith this astute observation.

Running the Escarpment is quite anexperience. The race is 18.7 miles long,as the crow flies, and traverses sixmountain peaks, some reaching elevations near 4,000 feet. Horrendous isa word which adequately describes thefooting. However, if one happens toreach a peak where he can chance taking his eyes off the ground, a beautifulpanorama will be his to glimpse but fora brief moment.

As I sat on the road at the base ofWindham Peak, listening to Dick Vincent's witty remarks about the race, iwas well aware of what lay ahead. Theincreasing humidity didn't help matterseither. At this particular moment I seriously began to question my sanity, notto mention the mental qualifications ofmy fellow Taconicites.

Dick concluded his remarks with hisstandard joke about the recent sightingof a black bear on one of the trails, and

we of questionable psychological stability shuffled across the road to the startof the race. A local raised a Revolutionary War Pistol, pulled the trigger and wewere off.

John Vangor shot out ahead of us,and I knew he had come to race! Pete,Pete and i settled into a pace and beganour three mile rocky-root (Baskin Rob-bins will soon offer the flaver) ascenttoward Windham Peak, i tr ied to catchJohn, as I had sighted what i thoughtto be a unique flower growing along thetrail, and I knew he would have beeninterested. Unfortunately, his blue shirtand red headband disappeared up thehiii only to be seen by my eyes at theNorth Lake finishing sight. He ran a remarkable 3:33, a one hour's improvement over his effort of last year.

At Windham Peak, i felt quite goodas I was already five minutes ahead oflast year's pace. Consequently, I beganto pick up my pace and move down theother side of the mountain, occasionallygrabbing a tree or two for balance. Halfway down, Pete Meisier's familiar voiceechoed out, "Are you up there, Mike?"Soon he and I were moving along at avery strong pace. In the next three milesthough he showed me that he and therocky trails were one, and he eventuallyleft me among the flora and the fauna.

He, too, ran his best time, an impressive3 : 4 1 !

Pete Corsino came up alongside mesomewhere around the seven mile mark.He told me he planned to drop out atthe eight mile point near the base ofB l a c k h e a d . T h i s w a s o u r s c h e d u l e dwater stop, and Nancy Vangor and PegMeisler were waiting for us with water,Gatorade and words of encouragement.I grabbed a small plastic bottle of Gatorade, inquired about John and PeteMeisler, and was on my way.

From this point on, I struggled upBlackheada climb meant only formountain goatsmaneuvered rocks,roots, knee-deep grass and simply rugged trail for the next ten miles. I finisheda weary, ieg-cramped, ready-for-the-looney bin, but happy runner. I had completed the challenge and knocked twenty-two minutes off last year's time, i waspleased with my 4:04, and I knew thatJohn and Pete were pleased with theirtimes. We ail sat down, sodas in hand,and began talking training strategy fornext July.

if any club members are interestedin this race, please feel free to contactJohn Vangor, Pete Meisler, Pete Corsino or me. Running it is really an experience!

C a r m e l H a l f - M a r a t h o n t o B a s h a n t

Howie Bashant snuck another one in. This time it was the club's half-marathon, run in conjunction with the Putnam County Fair in September.

Seventy runners took part in the inaugural event, but it was ail Howie after5 miles as he chalked up 1: 18:53, winning by one minute over James Downes,White Plains, with Mark Fusco, Portchester, third.

Melanie Mulvihill kept the club colors flying with an easy victory in thewomen's race. Meianie's time of 1:40:45 was almost 12 minutes ahead of TriciaDeur, New Rochelle, who edged Cathie Wychunas by a mere 15 seconds.

Celebrating new age classes seems to be the thing these last few months.Jack Brennan, a newly turned 40, captured the masters division, while TomMcCarthy, 50, made his debut a winning one also. John Bums, finishing secondto Tom, was seen shaking his head. "Even when Barclay and McCaffrey don'tshdw up things are tough. And next year it will be Jim Sutherland. I can't waituntil I'm 60. Forget that, too, Rogan's (Bob) there."

Rogan was there, too. Six days after winning his national title at Catskill,Bob romped through Carmel country in 1:32:48 to win the over 60 division.Dave Weiiard continued to show improvement, finishing third in the masterswith 1:25:05, and Pete Meisler, building his mileage up to an astonishing 35for a weekwhich week we don't knowzipped through in 1:23:44, good forsecond among the 30-39 year-olds.

Track Titles toCorsino and MImno

Vil leneuve takesM a s t e r s

Pete Corsino and Peg MImno werecrowned open track champs at thisyear's club track championships, withJoe "Don" Villeneuve capturing theMaster's title.

Conducted over a three week period,six events, ranging from 100 yards to3 miles, were held at Mahopac HighSchool. Each performance was evaluated against a systemized point tableand the points accumulated to determine overal l winners.

The men's division came down to athree man competition between Corsino, Marc Oxman and David Smith.Corsino's early lead from the one andthree mi les dwindled as the distancesgrew shorter, but in true championshipform he pulled it together to win the 100yards and the championship along withi t .

Oxman, Smith, and Villeneuve wereequally surprising as the series progressed. Although failing to win anyevent outright, Oxman showed his speedin the shorter races, pipped by Corsinoin the 100although both were credited with similar timesand finishing ina dead heat with Smith in the 220. Smithsurprised in the quarter winning handily,and appeared to be heading for a winin the half before tightening up in thelast 180 yards and failing to match thefinishing drive of Steve Kelly.

Villeneuve took a back seat throughthe first two events (1 and 3 miles) butfrom there on in it was a one man show.He flew passed Harry Neeson on theback stretch of the last lap in the halfto win by 5 seconds and set a new master's record of 2:18 in the progress. Theo t h e r t h r e e e v e n t s w e r e a m e r e f o rmality.

Howie Bashant's 3 mile time was themost impressive performance. With a5:04 opening mile and a 2 mile split of10:10, he hung on for a 15:32 and 720points. Terry Horton rang up 710 pointswith a fine 4:39 in the mile. Bashant'stime was also a club record.

Perhaps the most disappointing feature of the track series was the absenceof women competitors for the secondsuccessive year. However, it should inno way detract from the way in whichPeg Mimno performed, especially in themiddle distance events where she turnedin a 5:50 mile and a 19:27 three mile.

A respitory ailment hindered the FoxLane coach on the last night and shecould have won the title without evencompeting. But she didn't. She ran. Mykind of runner. Our kind of champion.True grit.

Congratulations to all three.

Personal i ty Profi le : MikeDoy ieOne of Westchester's top ranked

middle distance runners has to be MikeDoyle. When it comes to winning racesand outright speed there aren't manyaround who can stay with Mike in an oldfashioned foot race. Mike, who is botha track and road runner, is a memberof TRRC and also competes for Westchester Road Runners. He is one oftheir premier milers running a 4:09 mileand also holds the Mohansic Park 5 mileand 10K course rcords with times of25:27 and 32:47 respectively.

Mike began his running at Eastches-ter High then ran for lona College. Hehas been running for the last twelveyears, resides in Lake Mohegan andworks in White Plains as a computerprogrammer. Training is done at Mohansic Park after work turning in 35-50miles per week. Although this doesn'tseem like very many miles to the highmileage group, Mike believes in qualityrather than quantity. He likes to train ata 6 minute pace and will go out, depending on how he feels and rip offtwelve 6 minute miles. Once a week helikes to do some intervals of 15-20 quarters at a 66-68 second clip. He doesn'tsee loping around at a 7 minute pace

By Owen McCruddenunless you're looking for general conditioning. "You have to be able to getthe body to relax at a fast pace in training to be able to run a series of 5 minutemiles on race day," says Mike. Generally, his training is one minute a mileslower than even. Asked, "What makesyou so fast?" he replied modestly, 'You'remostly born with it." Yet, to look at histraining schedule he certainly doesn'twant to lose it.

Mike runs throughout the year. During the winter season he turns to indoortrack where he hopes to do a 4:05 thiswinter. His future racing plan is to break30 minutes for 10K. His best time at thisdistance was in the 1980 Diet Pepsiwhere he posted a 31:27. But this hebelieves is a matter of staying healthyand injury free. For, as most of us know,it's all a matter of finding a balance between the thin line of sharpening andbreaking down. A lot of guys leave theirbest races in the training stage by overdoing it.

Mike likes to limit his races throughout the year to where he can do his best.You can still participate in the race byusing it as a time trial or training run butto red line all the time is a sure way to

burn out. By red lining he means a matter of how much pain you can tolerate,not unlike the person trying to hold hisbreath under water until one or the otherbreaks. The mental aspect of racing isas hard as the physical aspect althoughone goes with the other because themore fit you become, the more confidentyou are. Still, you have the feeling, notunlike going into mortal combat, whereyou don't know whether or not you willsurv ive to contend wi th . That 's wherepsyching plays an important role. Mikeadvises us not to sell ourselves short;it may just be the day where everythingfalls into place and you hit it just right.

Mike's running philosophy para-phases what Theodore Roosevelt oncesaid about the man in the arena whoseface is marred by sweat and tears whostrives valiantly and comes short againand again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spendshimself in a worthy cause, who at hisbest knows in the end the triumph ofhigh achievement and who at his worst,if he fails, at least fails while daringgreatly.
