' Ta le o f Two C i t ies 'Baltimore: RecordPerformances Despite Wind

Runners, in general, become anxious about the weather as race dayapproaches. Marathoners becomeobsessive - with good reason, thelonger you are out there exposed tot h e e l e m e n t s t h e m o r e c o n c e r n e dyou become. The 1979 BaltimoreMarathon held on Dec. 2 was no di ff e r e n t .

When the question "What are youwearing on top" was asked at Balt imore i t took on a new l i tera l meaning that required clarification. "Top"not only referred to upper torso buthead. "What am I going to wear onmy dam head?"

People were not thinking of justheads, legs, hands, faces . . . anything & everything exposed (ands o m e t h i n g s t h a t w e r e n ' t ) w e r etopics for coverup discussion.

The reason for a l l th is mi ld paranoia (even unflappable John Hollandwas seen anxiously looking for a skihat, which he later decided againstwearing) was a newly arrived Canadian High which brought unseasonably chilly temperatures (34° atstarting time) and high winds whichoccasionally gusted up to 40 mph.There was plenty of sun howevera n d o n c e t h e m a r a t h o n w a s u n d e rway, temperatures were tolerable.The wind was tough though and nom a t t e r w h i c h w a y y o u r a n ( t h ecourse is out & back) it seemed topush you around, breaking yourrythmn at best, presenting an invisib l e w a l l a t w o r s t .

Despite the weather there weres o m e e x c e l l e n t p e r f o r m a n c e s a smany club members (and theirguests) capitalized on their recentN.Y.C. experience and ground outpersonal bests.

Howie Bashant tu rned in the c lubsf a s t e s t t i m e w i t h a 2 : 4 0 : 0 9 a n d a61st place finish, knocking over 7minutes off his last Boston performance, his previous best.

Phil Merritt also ran beautiful ly.Coming off a 3:36 (a p.r. at the time)i n N . Y. .

Whena s k e d w h a t h e w i l l r e m e m b e r m o s tabout the race Ph i l rep l ied , "no twalking..-it's the first time I didn'thave to walk during a marathon."

New York City Marathon;Another Warm One

We a l l t h o u g h t l a s t y e a r w a stough, with the heat and all, certainly 1979 had to be an improvement:it wasn't; for many it was worse.

For the second straight year temperatures in the SO's sent timessoaring for all but a few of the localr u n n e r s w h o p a r t i c i p a t e d i n t h i syears New York City Marathon. Although last year's heat was a littlehigher, this year, the humidity wasdefinitely worse.

Even in the early stages of therace the cool damp air was ominous,a s i t s u r r o u n d e d t h e V e r r a z a n oBridge like a shroud. Indeed, visibilityduring the 10:30 am start was only afew hundred feet which groundedthe usual pack of helicopters andthe i r unnerv ing presence. . .a we lc o m e b e n e fi t .

By noon the morning mist hadb u r n e d o f f a n d t h e s u n w a s o u t .Everyone has their own tale but them o s t w o e f u l l a r e t h o s e t o l d f r o mthree hours on up; they, after all,c o o k e d l o n g e r.

John Hol land turned in a fine 2:42and will certainly be looking to gou n d e r 2 : 4 0 a t B a l t i m o r e i n D ecember. Tom Barclay had an excellent 2:58 in only his third marathon;not bad for a 48 year-old man in his

first year of marathon training. HarryN e e s o n k n o c k e d 6 m i n u t e s o f f h i s'ecent Boston with a 2:53; Harry isflirting with 2;50. Dan Kehoe ran aso l id 3 ;14 in h is fi rs t a t tempt ; i fpushed, Dan may have run under3;10 and thus qualified for Boston,an accomplishment for a first timer.

Connie Lyke led the women with a4 :04 . Jeann ie Arne t t ran a good4:05, her fi rs t mara thon, Jeann iecould be under 3:30 by next year.J o h n H o l l a n d 2 : 4 2T e r r y N o r t o n 2 : 4 9Harry NeesonDan CaffreyTom BarclayBill McCaffreyAndy CahnP e t e C o r s i n oB o b B u r b a n k

Spectating At New York;Rewarding, But Not Tiring

By Bob BerginWednesday night at Mohansic -

s o m e t i m e s h o t . s o m e t i m e s h u m i d ,sometines a draining combination ofboth. My long day. Possibly as manyas 10 or 12 miles if I felt good andwanted to push myself a bit. Aftera l l . i t s e e m s e a s i e r t o r u n w i t hf r i e n d s . T h e c h a t t e r i s f r i v o l o u s a n dthe miles are more rapid when the"group effect" takes over.

Bu t t he re i s a d i f f e rence be tweenmy miles and those of many members of this contingent - I am puttingin perhaps 40% of my weekly mileage this night, most others are training for the New York Cith Marathon!

While running a marathon is still ad r e a m f o r m e . t , n e v e r t h l e s s , w a sf o r c e d i n t o t h e c o m m o t i o n o f t h i syear's New York, since I trained withand/or knew so many people whowere planning to run. It was an eventI just had to see. so down to NewYork I went complete with cameraand spotter (Liz). We arrived at 65thSt. and 1st Ave. about 10:45 a.m. sowe had about one hour to adequately prepare for the assault that wasabout to happen. At 10:30 a.m. thecar rad io had ind icated that the racehad gone off exactly on time and Icalcu lated that Bi l l Rogers wouldstride past Flanagan's Pub (16.5 mi)c i r c a 1 1 : 5 0 a . m .

But I wasn' t keying on the bigboys. Sure it was fun to see, in person. some of the prominent namesin the world of marathon running,but I was most interested in findingthe Wednesday night graduates.

"Hey Liz. there's John Holland"! Ishouted, beating my spotter to thespot. "Hi John! Go get emm. lookinggood," we screamed and the smileand nod from John already madethe ent i re t r ip worth making. Butthere are more to come. Terry Hor-ton followed closely as did Dan Caf-frey. Both looked pretty good, wethought as we peered through theo c e a n o f r u n n e r s f o r m o r e f a m i l i a rfaces. People had warned me thatthe street is so congested with entrants that it is quite difficult to beable to pick out one's friends. Theywere right - it is simply wall to wallrunners now. taking up two full laneso f 1 s t Av e . - a n d t h i s i s a l m o s t 1 7m i l e s f r o m t h e s t a r t !

By the time we rooted on HarryN e e s o n , H o w i e B a s h a n t . P e t e C o r -sino. Pete Meisler, John D'Angelo.S t e v e A r n e t t . D a n K e h o e , To m B a rclay, Bill Cullen, Bob Burbank, LarryL e n a h a n . P h i l M e r r i t t . a n d m a n ymore, we were asked by a few spectators if we knew everyone in ther a c e . " O f c o u r s e n o t . " w e r e p l i e d ,"only about half the field or 7,000"we figured.

We waited for Connie Lyke andJeannie Arnett to pass and jogged

over to the park after shouting ourencouragements. The five minute jogwent quickly and we arrived at the25 mile mark with little delay. Herew e w e r e . 2 5 m i l e s i n t o t h e m a r a t hon, and not even the slightest bitweary. The wall must be a myth!

This was the exciting part. Everyone who was passing us now. was insome stage of pain. The pained facesand changed paces told the storybut the finish was near. "Only onemile to go" we pleaded as the seacontinued but the interesting part isthat we found ourselves rooting foreveryone now. The club memberswere important figures but so werethe people we would probably nevermeet or never see again. "C'mon,this is what all that training was for,"we cajoled.

When Connie Lyke and Jeannie

Arnett passed us in just short of 4h o u r s , w e d e c i d e d t o h e a d f o rsomething to eat. and although BillRodgers was probably back in Boston already, the accomplishment ofal l the compet i tors was. nonetheless, a t remendous feat .

At Mohansic. 1 was always askedwhether or not I had planned to runNew York and my answer was always the same two words: No Way!Spectating was so much fun that 1may never revise my answer. But ifI 'm standing at the Verrazano tol lplaza next October it will probably bebecause I witnessed quite a spectacular show this year, that I mightwant to participate in it next time.I'm sure I'll be slightly more tired att h e 2 5 .

N e e s o n Wr i t e sFor Newspaper

Harry Neesons prolific writingurges have found an excellent outlet,one which he enjoys and clubm e m b e r s c a n b e n e fi t .

If you live in "Patent TraderCountry" pick up the Friday editionand tune in to Harry's column whichappears in the sport pages.

Harry's emphasis is on local happenings in the running scene andfeatures many of the club activities.This is an excellent way for membersto keep abreast of club meetings,races, etc. while enjoying bits ofHarry s running wisdom and anecdotes which he offers in an upbeatstyle - catch him.

Rating the Press...While discussing the press, now is

a good time to offer a few personalcommen ts on t he good and badcoverage we (the running community) receive by the local papers.

First the Good:Patent Trader - Very good cover

age, supportive of running. RonMelancon has always had a soft spotfor cross country and respect forrunners as a th le tes . When I was doing my column for the paper, Ron,Nick Natanson, Geof H i l ton and MikeShapiro all conveyed an appreciationfor our sport.

North County News - Excel lentcoverage . Har ry Neeson used tow r i t e f o r t h e m s o t h e c o v e r a g emight drop off a l i t t le, but beforeHarry, the Yorktown based paper dida great job for running. Their supportof running and the club is demonstrated by the race they host everyMay.

Peekskill Evening Star - Generallysupportive, they print al l we sendt h e m b u t d o n ' t u s u a l l y s e n d areporter or add much color - one ofthe limitations of a small paper.

Now the Bad:The Repor ter Dispatch (Gannet

Chain) Mort Kahil does a good job

keeping people informed of what isgoing on although the fact that he isprimarily a ski reporter does hinderh i s i n v o l v e m e n t s o m e w h a t .

Aside from Morts good efforts theGannet chain does an inadequate jobof reporting. Their coverage is usually terse and lacks depth, no personalcoloring at all - just the facts m'am.(I will note John Nolans coverage o1our fi r s t W in te r Se r i es t h i s pas tDecember.) Even major events gelsparse coverage; the NYC Marathonwhich is in the paper's backyard getsa ho-hum response - again, justfacts. Boston usually gets buried or.the back pages; more than likely it isa wire story. This, from a majoin e w s p a p e r .

The only race that got big coverage this year qas the BMW - Suburban Spectacle - a four page pre-racesupplement to the Saturday SporlSection which resembled a publicityrelease more than it did press coverage, the post race coverage wasnegligible by comparison.

So, small locals keep up your generally good efforts; we'll let youknow if you slip,

Gannett, you are a big paper andhave the potential to do much forrunning; right now you're niissing it.
