Hello Runners!Welcome to the first edition of Colorado Runner, a magazine devoted solely to the sport of running in and around Colorado.

My wife and I came up with the idea for this magazine after getting frustrated while trying to find local races and results. Our goal is to assist runners in finding the right local race to run and then to help them spread the glory of their latest conquest by printing the race results. We also hope to help you improve your running through a series of training articles and inspirational stories written by runners in our region.

In our first issue, we highlight the achievements of a runner from Grand Junction who is trying to qualify for the Olympic Marathon Trials. Also, Pikes Peak Marathon record-holder Matt Carpenter has written an article on the benefits of using a heart-rate monitor while training. And what Colorado running publication would be complete without an interview from the states most legendary runner, Frank Shorter. In this issue, we also take a look at the lighter side of running with a funny article about race t-shirt etiquette.

If you’ve been racing through the summer months, take a look at our race results section. We have race reports from the Summer Round-Up Trail 12K, the Teva Vail Hill Climb, the Barr Trail Mountain Race, the Human Race 5K, the Georgetown to Idaho Springs Half-Marathon, the Pikes Peak Ascent and Marathon and the Leadville Trail 100. If you’re ready to plan your next race, check out the complete race calendar for September, October, and November to find the right race for you.

The fall marathon season is here. If you’re running 26.2 this fall, check out our second edition for reports from our region’s fall marathons.

I hope you enjoy the first edition of Colorado Runner and find it useful in helping you achieve your running and racing goals.

Information on subscriptions can be found on the magazine’s back cover.

If you have any suggestions or thoughts, I’d love to hear from you. You can contact me online at [email protected]. Have fun training!

An American Legend

�: September/October 2003

Frank Shorter won the 1972 Olympic marathon in Munich and finished second in the 1976 Games in Montreal. He helped pull America into a running boom in the 1970s and helped Boulder become the running mecca that it is today.

So, what’s Boulder’s most famous runner up to these days? Local trail runners know you can often find him

lounging on his deck, watching runners travel around the trail in his backyard. But Frank Shorter is far from bored, dividing time between family, public appearances, a new book project and his fight against performance-enhancing drugs.

On TrainingCurrently, Shorter is working on writing a 160-page training book for introductory-level runners. He admits it’s becoming difficult to find that much to write about. “I can truly reduce my training theory to one typed page,” Shorter says and adds that he’ll be adding a lot of photographs to the book!

His basic training philosophy is simple. To become a better runner, combine a lot of aerobic training at a conversational pace with one long run a week to build endurance and at least one interval workout to develop leg speed and turnover.

Shorter says he has never had a coach, except during college, and he developed his own workouts for his Olympic marathon victory. Now he hopes his book will help other runners develop their own running plan since most can’t afford a running coach.

Getting motivated to run in Colorado is easy. When Shorter moved to Boulder in 1975, he fell in love with the weather. “So much sunshine makes training easier, especially interval training.” He

also picked Boulder to take advantage of the training benefits from living at a high elevation. “It was the only city above 5,000 feet with an indoor track.”

Catching CheatersNow that Shorter’s elite days are done, he still likes to stay connected in running circles so he can continue the battle against performance-enhancing drugs. After serving a three-year term, he recently resigned as chairman of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. Now that he’s not affiliated with the USADA, Shorter feels he can be more outspoken and opinionated. “I’ve gone back to being a loose cannon,” he says.

Shorter believes there needs to be out-of-competition drug testing for athletes from underdeveloped nations to help level the playing field for the athletes living in countries that require regular testing. To help the push for regular drug testing, Shorter is working with major marathons in cities like Chicago, New York and London. “They are willing, I think, to come up with their own system that says if you want to run in our race, show you have been tested for these drugs within this time frame or you don’t get to run for the money.” Shorter won’t name the names of specific elite runners he believes are using performance enhancing drugs, but says it’s obvious to him, especially in some of the current women’s events.

American distance runners have had trouble matching the marathon times that Shorter and many others were able to achieve in the 1970’s. He feels that American runners are making a comeback now that illegal doping is becoming much more difficult for foreign athletes to use. “EPO is a two percent advantage. Who truly believes they can make up two percent? That’s four minutes in a marathon.” He says when you know your competitors have that much of an advantage, it’s difficult to be motivated to train.

The OlympicsShorter’s passion for fighting performance-enhancing drugs stems from his defeat at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal when East German marathoner Waldemar Cierpinski won by just 50 seconds. It’s a moment he’ll never forget. “I was in Montreal and ran the Olympic marathon course earlier this summer and I came upon the exact spot where he pulled away from me.”

A few years ago, Shorter received previously classified documents, detailing Germany’s sports drug program from the 1970’s. In one letter, athletes who were involved with the drug program were listed. Cierpinski was number 62.

Now, Shorter is still chasing cheaters. He has the influence to change national and international policies and he feels the need to use that power. Although it won’t help him overcome the disappointment from 1976, it could help future American runners. He feels that if everyone is routinely tested, it will be a strong deterrent and many athletes will no longer take the risk.

He could lounge around Boulder everyday, sipping lattes and talking about the glory days. Instead, he’s trying to save American distance runners from the fakes.

Leanne Whitesidesby Jeff Recker

Do you know this woman? Probably not if you live on the front range. So when

Frank Shorter announced Leanne Whitesides as the Colorado Cup winner on the final stretch of this year’s Bolder Boulder, a lot of race fans were left scratching their heads, “Leanne who?” For those of us from the western slope of Colorado it was no surprise to see her running into Folsom Field ahead of all other Colorado women. Leanne Whitesides, 32, posted a time of 36:39 in the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Bolder Boulder 10k road race, placing her second in the citizen’s race. She’s a former BYU standout where she met her husband and fellow runner, Bryan Whitesides. She’s a mother of four, and has been tearing up the roads in Grand Junction for several years. She’s a two-time winner of the arduous Rim Rock Run, which climbs over the twenty-three mile stretch that is the Colorado National Monument . In 1990 she represented the USA in the World Cross Country Championships in Aix-Le-Bahn , France. Now she’s got her sites on the Olympic

marathon trials in St. Louis next year. First she’ll have to qualify. A sub two forty-eight is needed, a time that on paper looks attainable for Leanne, who this past March posted a 1:19 in the Canyonlands Half Marathon, in Moab , Utah . Still, as anyone who has ever run a marathon will atone, anything can happen out there. She’s not taking any chances. Although, she doesn’t run on Sundays because of her Mormon faith, she still manages to log over seventy miles a week. Her workouts are not for the ill-hearted. This morning she’s meeting training partner, Kathaleen Recker, at the Audubon trail. The two will run the eight mile path that encircles a portion of the Colorado River. They run at an easy pace, chit-chatting about everything from Leanne’s four children, an upcoming race, to a friendly yet serious discussion about faith. As is often the case in this quiet town of less than 50,000, they see no others on this river path that is, at times, heavily treed and other times opens up to grand views of the meandering river and the mesas beyond. Though this trail is just minutes from downtown Grand Junction, wildlife is evident. An eagle soars above the river. Rabbits scurry for fear of the approaching runners. A sign warns them of a recently spotted mountain lion in the area, though they’d tell you they’re more concerned about the animals that walk upright, and sleep in the heavy tamarack brush, that have, at times, called to them. The pace picks up to just under seven minutes per mile. Still, the sun is low on the horizon, turning the sky a muted shade of red, bleeding into the day and casting mile-long shadows of the cliffs along the Colorado National Monument . The beauty of this place is omnipresent. Against this primal backdrop, the two could be gazelles running on the African savannah, their strides fluid, natural, peaceful. When they finish they thank each other for the run. Kathaleen is done for the day. Before driving away she leans her head out the window and warns Leanne not to go out too fast on the Bolder Boulder course. Leanne still has unfinished business. She drives to Stocker Stadium and runs four one-mile repeats on the track, averaging 5:20’s. She’s hungry for speed and this workout is typical of her commitment to the sport. Two days later she’ll run the National Monument – all twenty-three miles of it. Fast forward. May 26th. It’s Leanne’s first Bolder Boulder, a race that seeds runners according to their expected finish time, sending them off in waves. She notes that other top female competitors are lined up far in front of her. She’s half way back in the first wave, the A Wave, and admits feeling intimidated. “Everyone looked so fit.” The race starts and she’s boxed in for the first half mile. Still, she’s surprised by an opening 5:20 first mile. Too fast. She later confesses she got caught up in the hype of the event and in hindsight was happy to have been boxed in, “or else…” Still, her fitness is such that she’s able to recover and settles in among the other A Wave athletes. While she’s focused on the race, she’s observant enough to notice and appreciate the crowds that shout Continued on page 26

The Heart of the Matter

Imagine what it would be like to drive your automobile without an instrument panel. You

could guess your speed by looking at other vehicles, but they may be going too fast or too slow. You would not know if you were about to run out of gas, if your engine was too hot, or your oil pressure too low. You could probably fake it for a week or two - if you didn’t get a ticket for speeding - but something eventually would go wrong that would bring your car to a halt - something that could have been prevented if you had an instrument panel. When it comes to exercise, it is just as important to monitor your body for signs of trouble or, hopefully, signs of progress. The body has a built-in instrument panel and most of the gauges, dials, and indicators are packed into one organ - the heart. Feelings can be deceiving - you can feel good and have a lousy workout. Speed can be misleading - you can go slow but still finish feeling tired. The heart does not lie. It will tell you instantly the status of your body.

Getting your heart to tell you this information has come a long way since the days of stopping your exercise and counting heartbeats. Today’s pulse monitors are far more advanced, yet easier to use and less expensive, than their predecessors. Advanced limit settings, alarms, high, low, and average rates, and memory for up to eight workouts, are just a few of the features to be found on today’s pulse monitors. By using a pulse monitor with a computer, the truly compulsive or just plain curious athlete can do a detailed analysis of each and every workout. Graph overlays can then be used to take the analysis further by comparing many workouts to each other. Some high-end pulse monitors make the process easy by coming with an interface kit and the necessary software. This eliminates what would be an otherwise lengthy and tedious affair of manually entering every stored pulse rate. GETTING USED TO EXERCISE by pulse can take some time. I used to gauge most of my workouts by how long I ran, with little thought as to what I was actually doing during that time. I had always had structured hard days, but now even “easy runs” have structure and purpose. At first I found myself having to almost walk to get up steep hills to keep from going over my high limit and sprinting on downhills to maintain a pulse rate that was considered “exercise” and not “weight control.” I began referring to myself as a running ping-pong. I was having to vary my pace so much because my pulse bounced wildly between my low and high

limits. Soon I noticed that I was hearing the limit alarms on my pulse monitor less and less and my workouts began to feel more natural. I also noticed that my “easy days” felt harder while I was doing them, but as soon as I finished I felt more recovered than the pre-pulse monitor workouts. This can be attributed to the way I used to do my “easy days.” Previously, my heart rate was all over, including going very high as I charged up a hill. So while a lot of the time I was going easy - most of the time too easy and not really “exercising” - I was often stressing my body too much for an “easy day.” By using a pulse monitor I can make sure I never go too hard but am always going hard enough to gain a cardiovascular benefit. This allows my body to rest while my heart and lungs improve. When I analyzed several weeks worth of data what I saw was almost unbelievable. The time it took to run one of my shorter “easy day” courses was falling through the roof. In only four weeks the time dropped from a 35:30 to 31:�5 with the same effort. In other words, both runs were done by averaging a pulse of 1�0 yet one was almost four minutes faster! I almost did not notice the time improvement because the entire month I was concentrating on keeping the same pulse. NOW SOME OF THE RUNS that I used to find boring are becoming a challenge in a fun way. I changed my high and low limits so they are only five apart and made it a “game” to keep from hearing any alarms. This “game” becomes a real mental challenge on hilly courses. I must constantly anticipate how my heart is going to react to each one. For me, time passes quickly playing this “game” because when I look at my watch to check my pulse, I am expecting - or at least hoping for - the same number. Before, when running by time, I found that time went very slowly (“a watched pot never boils”). As each person is unique so, too, is the way their heart responds to exercise.

Each athlete must go by a program developed for them and them alone. In a recent half marathon, for example, I was able to average 5:07 miles by maintaining a heart rate between 160 and 165 while another runner averaged 7:38 miles with a heart rate between 180 and 185. If both of us used the same training program, the outcomes would be predictable. This runner’s target pulse rate on an “easy day” would be overtraining for me as it is around 160 - a pace that I would call racing. Conversely, this runner would be wasting time training at my “easy day” pulse of 1�0 because the pace would be laughingly slow. THERE ARE MANY FACTORS that influence a heart rate at a given exercise level including age, sex, resting pulse, maximum pulse, fitness level, and the type of exercise being done. The key to using heart rate for training and racing is knowing at what percent of your maximum heart rate to exercise at in order to achieve the desired results. While several formulas exist to calculate maximum heart rate, the most common is subtracting your age from 220. However, formulas and reality are two different things and it is best to have someone help you determine your real maximum heart rate. For those just starting an exercise program, this test should be done by a doctor. The half marathon runner mentioned above was able to run at or above the formula “maximum” pulse rate of 183 for almost two hours. The runner’s real maximum pulse rate is almost 200. Nothing can be more frustrating than spending a month or two following a program established by a formula only to learn that you do not fit into a formula. Several books are

available on using a pulse monitor to set up and maintain an exercise training program - no matter if your goal is to lose weight or win races. Most good stores that sell pulse monitors also staff people who are knowledgeable in how to use them. AS A COMPETITIVE RUNNER I have found my pulse monitor an indispensable training partner. From the incredible (watching how much I can improve in only a month of controlled workouts) to the trivial (I discovered that every time I burp my pulse instantly drops four beats) my pulse monitor has given me instant feedback on the status of my training. The next time you hop into a car and notice that you are almost out of gas, ask yourself if you know as much about your own body. A set of bike tires or a pair of running shoes can cost more than a $100. Why not spend the same amount of money on a device that will enable you to get the most out of all that new rubber?

You’ve done the hard part. Now, after months of training, it’s time to taper for the big day. Then after the race, follow

the path to an injury-free recovery.Two Weeks To Go Whether you’re a marathon veteran or a novice, and regardless of how much time you spent training, the final two weeks before the marathon should be similar. Two weeks out is taper time. The goal is to start your recovery so you can enter your race week rested. Don’t make a common mistake - if you’ve missed some long runs, this is not the time to make it up! The one exception might be if you take those two weeks off from work to really recover from your runs. Assuming you can’t, two weeks before your race date should be your last long run. The next week, drop the mileage of your long run by 30%. For example, if your longest run was 20 miles, then only run 1�. If your longest run was 18 miles, then run 12. This is also the time to ease up on your speed and interval training as well. Shorten your intervals by half the distance. You can keep the intensity high, but start to let your legs recover from the intense training.

Race Week Your race week is pivotal. Your goal for this week should be physical rest and mental preparation. No training you do this week will make a noticeable

difference in how you physically feel or perform during your marathon. Giving your muscles a thorough rest, lot’s of stretching and perhaps a massage will ready your body for the task ahead. You should enjoy a few easy 3-� mile runs. Use the time during your runs to build confidence about your abilities. The rest and easy runs will give you the opportunity to focus on your thoughts about your race. Calmly envision yourself running smoothly, relaxed, and confidant. Mentally practice your pre-race routine, and picture your support team cheering you on at points throughout the race. The day before the marathon you might want to do an easy run with a couple of 100 meter sprints to limber-up. Race week is also a time to eat well. Maybe you’ve thought about it during training, but now it’s time to actually practice it. Avoid big dinners out, and avoid new foods. This is the time to carbo load. Don’t think huge plates of spaghetti but rather an extra 1/2 cup of pasta or rice at lunch and dinner. Recovery You did it! Now go rest for a couple of weeks. Do as little exercise as you like after your marathon because your body needs the recovery. Expect to not want to run for a few weeks. That is normal. If you want to run, just do several miles easy. Listen to your body, when you are ready to train again, you will know it. If you want to be active, think about a yoga class, Pilates or swimming. Hiking always sounds like a great idea until you do it. Don’t.

Summer Round-Up Trail 12KColorado Springs, CO

July 6, 2003�15 Finishers

The Summer Round-Up served as the second leg of the Triple Crown of Running in Colorado Springs. The Triple Crown also includes The Garden of The Gods 10 Mile and the Pikes Peak Ascent (or the Ascent portion of the Pikes Peak Marathon). On a beautiful day for racing, the pace was slow for the first mile, with Jason Saitta leading the way. “I didn’t really want to lead that early in the race, but no one else wanted to do it either,” he said. Through the first 3 miles of rolling hills, the pace gradually increased. Once the race hit the flat out-and-back section along the river, it was a 3-man race between Saitta, Ryan McCurnin, and Chris Ronan. Ronan faded at about 9K, leaving just the two front runners. Saitta would eventually pull away for a 19-second win in �1:51. The women’s race was won by Maddy Tormoen in �9:02, a whole 2 1/2 minutes faster than her next competitor.

Teva Vail Hill Climb2003 USA Mountain Championships

Vail , COJuly 6, 2003�5� Finishers

The Vail Hill Climb is a breathtaking 7 1/2 mile course that travels dirt roads up Vail Mountain from 8,200’ at the start to 10,350’ at the finish line. This year’s race served as the first ever USA Mountain Running Championship. Peter De La Cerda and training partner Simon Gutierrez, both of Alamosa, set a blazing early pace, clocking �:�5 for the flat first mile. De La Cerda outpaced Gutierrez up the mountain for the win in �7:�2. ”I just wanted to get out hard and maintain a good rhythm going up the hill,” he said. “The last mile was tough.” The win earned De La Cerda an automatic berth on the Teva US Mountain Running Team. The women’s race was not an automatic qualifier, but Anita Ortiz of Eagle proved that she’s one of the top mountain runners in the nation. She ran away from Kelly Ryan of Littleton with a mile to go, winning in 1:01:19. The race also served as a USATF Masters Mountain Running National Championship. Scott Creel of Bozeman, MT and Cindy O’Neill of Manitou Springs were the top masters runners.

Low would eventually pull out a �-minute victory over Carpenter, with Werner rounding out the top 3 (even after a nasty spill 2 miles from the finish). The women’s race was a two-runner race from the gun between Manitou Springs’ own Kelli Lusk and Kari DiStefano from Telluride.

Georgetown to Idaho Springs Half Marathon

Georgetown, COAugust 9, 20032386 Finishers

This half marathon is considered to be one of the most exciting races in the state. The fun begins in Georgetown at 8500’ above sea level. After 2 flat miles through the town, runners begin a gently rolling downhill traverse of the Clear Creek Valley to Idaho Springs, located at 7500’ above sea level. This year more than 2000 runners duked it out for one of the 72 coveted Gold Pan trophies awarded to the age-group winners. The unique awards are dedicated to the region’s gold mining history.

Oscar Ponce (1:12:28), Sam Shusterman (1:12:3�), Derek Griffiths (1:12:58), and Rob Welo (1:13:37) rounded out the top five.

Leadville Trail 100MLeadville, CO

August 16th and 17th208 Finishers

This year’s Leadville 100 lived up to the legendary status it has earned in the running community. The race began amid the stars at � a.m.

The toughest of the tough lined up, many with simple survival on their minds. Leadville is known for its grueling 15,600’ of climb and descent (which many say is more like a crawl and tumble). The race’s lowest point is 9,200’ at Twin Lakes. It crests at 12,620’ at Hope Pass. Paul Dewitt powered over the hills, leading his nearest competitor by more than one hour to finish in 17:58:�5. Valerie Caldwell led the women’s race, finishing in 22:5�:16. With a 30-hour cutoff, the race averages only a �0-50% finishing rate. Official results were not available at press time.

Pikes Peak Ascent and MarathonManitou Springs, COAugust 16th and 17th

2397 Finishers

For most runners, the Pikes Peak Ascent and Marathon were races of courage and determination. Both races began in Manitou Springs and climbed the Barr Trail to the top of Pikes Peak at 1�,110’. With an elevation gain of 7,815’, this is a course filled with zig-zagging switchbacks that turned many runners into power walkers. The Ascent traveled 13.35 miles uphill. Simon Gutierrez faced no competition, claiming a 17-minute lead over the next competitor and earning a new age-group course record. The women’s race was a closer battle with Anita Ortiz prevailing over Gretchen Ellis with less than a minute to spare. The following day, the marathon was held, which travels both up and down the mountain. Many racers claimed the quad-burning downhill did the most damage, causing bloody knees and bruised elbows from many falls. Matt Carpenter sealed another marathon victory and established a new age-group course record in the process. In the women’s race, Erica Larson was the first female to the top of the mountain but Angela Mudge captured the victory

NOVEMBER/DECEMBER

ISSUE OF

COLORADO RUNNER!

We’ll have results and reviews from all of the area’s fall marathons, including American

Discovery Trail, Boulder Backroads, Breckenridge

Crest, Durango, Easy Street, Mile High City, and

Roaring Fork!


Speedy Teens

Seven of the nine runners on this year’s junior team are from the Rocky Mountain State. The 2003 Teva U.S. Mountain Running Team travels to Girdwood, Alaska to compete in the World Mountain Running Trophy September 20. This will be just the second year the U.S. team will include juniors, and for many of these teens, it will be the trip of a lifetime.

The team includes Eduardo Pasko, 18, Colorado Springs, Andrew Payton, 17, Woodland Park, Kristen Andersen, 17, Loveland, Maggie McNanigal, 16, Colorado Springs, Jessica Pitzer, 17, Nederland, Erika Ross, 16, Colorado Springs, and Brett Wilson, Loveland. Joining the Colorado contingent will be Erik Borschel, 18, Idaho Falls, ID, and Rory Egelus, 16, Palmer, AK. The runners were selected based on road, trail, track, and cross-country results.

The junior men’s course at the World Trophy will be 7.7 km with 600 meters of vertical gain, the same course as the senior women. The junior women will run �.2 km and climb 285 meters.

Kristen Andersen enters her junior year at Loveland High School in the fall. Her PRs include 2:25 for 800 meters, 5:29 for the mile, 11:�9 for two miles and 19:38 for 5K. “My goals for the mountain race in Alaska are to place well and to hopefully see a difference in my time at sea level.”

Maggie McNanigal enters her junior year this fall at Wasson High School. In 2003 McNanigal was a state qualifier in division 5A where she ran to 21st place in 19:52 She has PRs of 2:32 for 800 meters, 5:�� for 1600 meters, and 19:27 for 5K. Says McNanigal, “My goals for this year are to get under 19 minutes in 5K and place top 10 at state in cross country. My goals for the trip to Alaska are to have fun and

enjoy a terrific experience. I’m excited to work hard so I can accomplish beyond my limits.”

Eduardo Pasko is a returning team member from last year’s squad. As a graduate of Harrison High School, he is now starting college at the University of Toledo. Pasko was the first American junior at last year’s World Trophy in Austria finishing 22nd. His PRs include �:25 for the mile, 9:�0 for two miles, and 15:55 for 5K. Pasko says, “I’m looking forward to the trip to Alaska and improving my finish from last year.”

A n d r e w Payton enters his junior year this fall at Woodland Park High School. His PRs include a �:�� 1600 meters, 10:2� for 3200 meters, and 16:59 for 5K. He

handily won the junior age division at the USA Mountain Running Championships finishing more than seven minutes in front of his nearest competitor. “In Alaska I want to enjoy this once in a lifetime opportunity and have as much fun as possible. During the race, I’d like to concentrate on getting out fast, and catching people on the downhills.”

Jessica Pitzer joins Pasko as the only other returning team member having finished first among the U.S. junior women at last year’s trophy in Austria. She enters her senior year at Nederland High School this fall. In

2001 she traveled as part of a worldwide youth athlete exchange program to Sydney, Australia where she competed in the City to Surf 1�K finishing third in the 1�-18 age division. Her PRs include 12:25 for two miles, and 20:0� for 5K. “This year my goal is to run 19 minutes for 5K and finish in the top five at the state cross country meet.”

Erika Ross will enter her junior year this fall at Palmer High School. Last year, she qualified for state in cross country, track and swimming. Her PRs include 2:2� for 800 meters, 5:�7 for 1600 meters, and 20:10 for 5K. Erika says, “This September I hope to gain an experience that I will never forget, one that will help me to become the runner I want to be.”

Brett Wilson is a Loveland High School graduate and will attend Luther College in Decorh, IA this fall. His PRs include 1:59 for 800 meters, �:38 for 1600 meters, 10:02 for 3200 meters and 16:18 for 5K. Wilson says, “My running

goals for the coming year are to enjoy every step I take. I want to be able to push through more pain in racing than I ever have before.”

Colorado runners also dominate the senior ranks of the Teva U.S. Mountain Running Team. This year’s members include Kari DiStefano of Telluride, Simon Gutierrez of Alamosa, Kelli Lusk of Manitou Springs, Peter De La Cerda of Alamosa, Paul Low of Amherst, MA, Anita Ortiz of Eagle and Bill Raitter of Estes Park.

her number and encourage her onward. She enjoys the many bands and smiles at the famous belly dancers, a celebrated reflection of this course. “In Grand Junction a typical race attracts around fifty runners and five fans,” she says. “So this was very exciting.” In fact, the competition was so many that she raced without realizing that she was running in second place. “Since I lined up so far back I just assumed there were others up there.” Leanne added, “At Canyonlands there were several people who shouted that I

was leading the race, when actually, Nadia Prasad was way out in front. So while you appreciate the information, you can’t be sure it’s correct. Even running into Folsom Field today people were shouting that there was no one behind me when Boulder resident, Katie Blackett, was only seven seconds back.” As excited as she was to have won the Colorado Cup she says the highlight of her day was getting to meet Deena Drossin, the women’s elite race winner, at the awards ceremony. “This was a great experience

and I think I’m hooked on this race.” Leanne is focused on the St. George Marathon in October, where she hopes to qualify for the Olympic Marathon Trials.

What is Sciatica?Sciatica is a general term for pain radiating along the course of the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body (as big around as the pinky finger) and supplies nerve input to the back of the thigh and the entire leg below the knee. Sciatica is a general description of the pain, not a diagnosis. It usually begins in the lower back and radiates down the posterior thigh to the knee or foot.

A common cause is strain of the piriformis muscle called “Piriformis Syndrome.” The piriformis muscle (figure 1) crosses both sacroiliac and hip joints. It is one of a group of muscles called the deep lateral rotators because they help laterally or externally rotate the hip. The piriformis muscle lies overtop the sciatic nerve while the others lie below the nerve. Irritation to the piriformis muscle can cause it to clamp down on the sciatic nerve, creating pain along the distribution of the sciatic nerve (false sciatica).

When running, our heel strikes the ground with a force that is two to five times our body weight, depending on whether running on level ground or downhill. Your gluteal (butt) muscles help maintain an upright posture and prevent your trunk from buckling (flexing forward) at heel strike. Gluteal weakness causes the hip to collapse and rotate inward, and the knee to move in towards the midline of the body. This internal rotation places a lot of stress on the piriformis muscle, which can lead to irritation. Excessive pronation (flat feet) contributes to even more internal rotation, placing further stress on the muscle.

What to do?The first line of defense against piriformis syndrome is footwear that provides the correct shock absorption at the heel while providing enough arch support to limit

overpronation and help reduce internal rotation at the hip. Strengthening exercises for the gluteal muscles, such as lunges and single leg squats, can be beneficial as well. These are designed to isolate the glutes on the weakened side and can be found in a variety of strength training books.

Stretching the piriformis is easy and can be done while sitting in your desk chair. Simply cross the ankle of the affected side over the opposite knee, sit up straight, and bend forward at the waist keeping your head up and back straight (figure 2). The stretch you feel in your buttocks is your piriformis muscle. This stretch, like all stretches, should be held for 20-30 seconds, and if performed while sitting throughout your workday, should reduce your discomfort. It can also be very helpful to do this stretch before and after running.

Another way of stretching the piriformis before and after your run can be done on the floor as follows: Start on your hands and knees, slide the foot of the side to be stretched between the hand and knee of the opposite side and let the knee go to the floor (Figure 3). Slide the opposite foot and leg back until you feel a comfortable stretch in the buttocks. Repeat on the opposite side.

If you have limited time for stretching, it is more important to stretch after running than before, although both are optimal. If continued running causes the leg pain to radiate further down the leg, a visit to a qualified medical professional is recommended.

HIT THE DIRT... TRAIL REVIEW

Hayden Green Mountain ParkLakewood, CO

By Derek Griffiths

Getting there:Green Mountain Park is an 8000-acre park located on the western edge of Lakewood. It is easily accessed off Alameda Parkway. To get to the Florida Trailhead, take Route 6 to the Union/Simms Exit. Go south on Union and turn right onto Alameda. The trailhead is on the right after about two miles. To get to the Rooney Road trailhead, continue past the Florida trailhead on Alameda to the light at Jewell. Turn right (this is still Alameda) and take this road over C-�70 and turn right onto Rooney Road. The trailhead is on the right in less than ½ a mile.

The trail system:Green Mountain has over 20 miles of trails running throughout the park. Unfortunately, most of them are not on the map at either parking lot. But don’t worry... I’ve mapped out the trails for you by running through the park with a GPS.

There are two main routes to follow, a 5K route and a 10K route. Both of the routes can be accessed from the Florida trailhead. If you plan on doing the 10K loop or more, I recommend parking at the Rooney Road trailhead. From this trailhead, you’ll have a 3.5-mile rolling warm-up before you head uphill.

Be warned - this park can be packed with mountain bikers, so run cautiously on the curvy single track.

The 5K loop:This loop starts at the Florida trailhead. The best way to run this loop is in a clockwise direction so that you get a warm-up prior to the hill climb.

Start by going left from the parking lot and head over the hill towards the mountains. If you see downtown Denver, you are going in the wrong direction. When you come to the first trail crossing, turn right and begin you ascent of the mountain. At the next two trail intersections, make a left, then a right. This will put you on the jeep road that is used to service the radio tower.

Run past the radio tower and veer to the right. Turn right at the second intersection, and proceed down the mountain to the parking lot.

Even though this loop is only 5K, it still has 600 feet of climb and descent, so it is a decent quad burner.

The 10K loop (Green Mountain Loop):This loop can start at either the Florida or the Rooney Road trailhead. I prefer to start at Rooney Road and run counter-clockwise so that there is a warm-up before climbing the hill.

Start by leaving the parking lot and run over the bridge. Once you come to the trails, take the lowest dirt trail to the right and climb over a 200-meter hill. This will drop you into a meadow. In the summertime, the grass is rather high, but in the winter, you can see all of the prairie dogs that scurry around this meadow.

At the next intersection, you will make a right. Do not go straight here as you will end up climbing a very steep hill to the top. Follow this rolling section for about 3 miles. At each of the three trail crossings, you will want to continue straight. This will put you in the parking lot at the Florida trailhead.

Run through the parking lot and turn left onto the trail that switchbacks up the hill. This is when the fun begins. The total climb is about 28: September/October 2003 www.coloradorunnermag.com


one and a half miles, but the worst section is the first �00 meters. Follow this trail up to an intersection and turn to the left. Keep your eye on the radio tower in front of you because that is where you are going. When you get there, turn left and follow the jeep road. You will run on this road for a half mile before reaching the official top of the mountain. At this point, you have one of three options. You can turn left and go 50 meters to the top for a great view of the mountains, or you may decide to go to the right and get a great view of Denver, or you can just continue on the jeep road straight ahead. If you choose the options with the views, remember to return to the jeep road to get down.

Once back on the road, follow it all of the way down and back to your car. This downhill is steep, so be careful not to let your feet slide too much on the loose dirt... that is unless you have a good stock of saline solution and bandages in the trunk of your car!

For the expert (17K loop):If 10K and 1100 feet of climbing is not enough for you, then I suggest tackling my 17K expert loop with 1500 feet of climbing. It starts out the same way as the 10K loop until you begin to climb up out of the Florida parking lot.

Follow the same trail up towards the top and make the first left. After this, you will go 200 meters farther and see a trail going off to the left. Take that trail down to the other side where it meets up with the Utah trail. Make a right at the first intersection and continue up the hill. Follow this trail to the jeep road at the top. It is tempting to turn left here and head down, but you must resist the urge and turn right. Run past the tower and veer to the left. After you have run down this trail for about 100 meters, look for a trail that goes off to the left. If you run past the power line pole, you went too far. Take this trail for approximately one mile. You will come to an intersection of about five trails. Take the second trail to the left. This will put you back out on the jeep road, where

you will turn right. About half way up the next hill, there is a trail to the left. Follow this trail around the top piece of the mountain (going straight at the intersection), back to the jeep road and turn left.

When the jeep road turns left and heads down the mountain, you are going to continue straight on the singletrack trail. At the next two intersections, turn left. The third intersection has a little sign post at it. Turn left here and head down the mountain, turning left at the next junction. Continue straight through the next intersection and follow the trail back around to the jeep road.

Turn right on the road and then make an almost immediate left onto another singletrack. Follow this trail down and then back up, going straight at each of the next two intersections. When you crest this hill, you will see the meadow that you started out in down to your right. Turn right at the next trail crossing and retrace your steps through the meadow, back to the parking lot.

These loops are best run in the cooler months of the year because of the lack of shade on Green Mountain. If you are running these loops in the summer (especially the 17K loop), make sure to take plenty of water with you.

HIT THE DIRT... TRAIL REVIEW


The Lighter Side

Want to know when it’s appropriate to wear your latest road race souvenir? Read On.

In the running community the wearing of race T-shirts has become a sign of accomplishment and fashion. Choosing just the right T-shirt for

that special occasion can be a daunting and difficult task. The following guidelines have been compiled (in fun) to help the responsible T-shirt wearer avoid potential embarrassment and/or elevate their status.

1. A shirt cannot be worn unless the wearer has participated in the event. (crew, significant others and volunteers are exempt).

2. Any race, less than a marathon distance, shouldn’t be worn to an ultra event. It simply doesn’t represent a high cool factor and sends a red flag regarding your rookiness. If you set a PR at The Pikes Peak Marathon, definitely wear that shirt whenever possible.

3. When you are returning to a race in which you previously finished, then wear the shirt from the first year you completed the race. Don’t short-change yourself by wearing the shirt from the year before. It doesn’t adequately display the feat of accomplishment or the consummate veteran status that you are due.

4. Never wear a race shirt from the race you are about to run. It displays a lack of running integrity and might put the bad-heebee-jeebee-mojo on you. Wearing a T-shirt of the race, while currently running said race is discouraged. It’s like being at work and constantly announcing “I’m at work.” Besides, you won’t have the correct post race shirt then.

5. Never wear a shirt from a run that you did not finish. To wear it is to say “I finished it.”

6. A DNF’er may wear a race shirt if... the letters DNF are boldly written on the shirt in question (using a fat Sharpie). The only way that you can proudly wear a shirt for a race you didn’t

finish: if you sustained a compound fracture, gouged eye or lost an appendage during said event. Stress fractures don’t count!

7. During a race the wearing of shirt from a previously completed year is acceptable. Wear the oldest T-shirt you have (see guideline #3). This is probably a good practice because you now have no excuse to drop out since you’ve done it before.

8. If possible, runners should buy all crew members and, as appropriate, significant others (they let you run the race in the first place) T-shirts which can be worn without regard to running the race. (See guide #1).

9. Volunteers have full T-shirt rights and all privileges pertaining thereto. So there.

10. No souvenir shirts: therefore, friends or anyone else not associated with the race may not wear a race shirt. If mom thinks that the Boston shirt is lovely, tell her to QUALIFY, and send in her application early for next year so she can earn her own. A downside to this: she still has plenty of time to write you out of her will between her training runs for the big race. Note: your mom CAN wear your finisher’s shirt under on of these 3 conditions: 1 – You live with you mother; 2 – She funded your trip to the race; 3 – She recently bailed you out of the slammer. There is an exception to this guideline (refer to #16).

11. Always wear the race shirt of your last race at the current race pre-race briefing. The more recent the race, the better. This is a good conversation starter. However, avoid the tendency to explain how that it was training for this, and this is just a training run for the next, etc. It just sounds like your rationalizing mediocre performances. Sometimes it’s best to live in the here and now. (I’ve never been more prepared for a race! This is the big one!).

12. It must be clean, but dried bloodstains are okay, especially if it is a trail race or a particularly tough event. If you’re an ultrarunner, you can even leave in mud and grass stains (and porcupine quills). Not washing out the skunk scent is pushing the macho thing a bit too far, though.

13. Never wear a T-shirt that vastly outclasses the event you’re running. It’s like taking a gun to a knife fight. Or like unleashing an atomic bomb among aboriginal natives. You get the idea. (Exception: see guideline #1�).

14. If you’ve finished The Hardrock 100, then wear it as often as possible, since the race is so damn hard.


Race T-Shirt Etiquette



15. A corollary: never wear a blatantly prestigious T-shirt downtown or at the mall among non-running ilk. People will just think you have a big head, which you do. You’ll also get stupid questions, like “How long is a marathon?” If it’s a shirt to a 50 or 100 miler, they’ll think it’s a shirt for a cycling event or just think you’re frigging nuts, which (or course) you might be.

16. Never wear a shirt that has more sponsors listed on it than people that ran the event (Are you listening race directors?). A shirt with too many logos on it is just plain ugly. By the way, you can let ANYONE wear this shirt; non-finishers and distant relatives, alike. If you respect your spouse or mother, though, you won’t let either of them wear it. You CAN wear it to change your car’s oil or as part of a Halloween costume. It would also serve well in a gerbil cage.

17. Never wear a shirt that is so old, thin and threadbare that you can see the color of your nipples or chest hair. This seems to just be a guy thing, especially an old-codger-runner-guy thing. Here’s the test guys: if you’re too scared to machine wash your 1980 Boulder Bolder 10K shirt for fear of it wafting down the drain as mere subatomic particles, then it’s probably

too transparent to wear in public. If you can (still) remember your great performance on that particular day and want to save it for posterity, PLEASE have it framed so you can keep it on the wall in your den or in “Man Land,” and (at least) out of sight. Better yet, have it sewn into a quilt. You can then sit on your couch and read back-copies of Colorado Runner, cuddled up with your “runner’s blanket,” with a glass of warm milk.

18. By the way, If you don’t know what things like DNF, Crew, volunteer or Significant Other are, then you shouldn’t wear any race shirt until you know what they mean, and you shouldn’t have any meaningful relationships, either. You should probably become a New Age “Tantric” runner-hermit, sitting at home in the lotus position performing virtual marathons in your mind, while sniffing espresso beans, incense and patchouli.

T-shirts must be used sensitively. Worn responsibly, they can help expand one’s consciousness and immerse you in a great conversation with your running brethren. Worn stupidly, they can cause blisters, fright, horror, vacant stares, sprained ankles, and cause social anxiety.
