Drought Ends At Dutchess County Classiclaconic Cleans Up In Half & Full Marathon

After a record number of days without rain, the 1995 running of the Dutchess County Classic brought an end to the drought. Skyswere dark and rains steady until well into the third hour of the event. Undaunted, though, TRRC put up tarps, screen tents, umbrellasand tailgates on vans to keep the post-race party lively. Pictured above, posing in front of the Taconic banner during a break in theweather, the full inarathoners displayed their strong legs by kneeling! Front row, left to right: Katy D.

The Pres ident 's ColumnNovember 1995

The week-end of October 14-15 found Taconicsrunning events in a number of venues - and very successfully. Although complete results are not in as of this writing,1 wanted to touch on the highlights.

On Saturday, October 14, at the Norwegian 5K, theTaconic Men's 50+ team scored a sweeping victory over theother clubs, placing 1-2-3-4-7 in the scoring, paced by JackBrennan & Howie Bashant. (See Rich Nash's article in thisissue.) The Men's Masters 40+ team scored a second placefinish, led by Scott Abercrombie and Gary Steinel.

Also on Saturday, in the Crete Weitz' Women'sHalf-Marathon, our Women's Open team placed second toMoving Comfort. (See Lee Saroken's article.) The Taconicsquad was comprised of Joan Dietrick, Tara Maguire, andMar ia B leasda le .

Sunday, October 15 could have been described asthe "Taconic Day-At-The-Races," considering the numberof club members running all overthe place. The Sunday raceschedule was particularly cluttered with lots of races. Withso many choices - which one do you choose? Easy! Sincethe start times of four local races differed, Greg Diamondcame up with a new challenge: RUN THEM ALL! So offwe went, four Taconics: Greg Diamond, Lee Saroken, SarahCollins, and Myles O'Rhodes. Each ran four races, howeverthere were three different combinations.

For Greg, it was the Rockland MRC Venture 1 OK,the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge run, the Harry Chapin lOK,and the Scarsdale Fall Foliage 5K. Sarah ran both theRockland races, 1 OK & 5 K, plus Harry Chapin and Scarsdale.Lee and Myles started in Yorktown with the TRRC AgeGroup Cross Country 5K.

The Harry Chapin 1 OK was won by TRRC's CoachDoug Miller. TRRC women swept the even: AlyssandraLynch, Debbie Terranova, and (in her third race of the day)Sarah Col l ins.

Nancy Young picked up two age group awards, oneat the MRC Venture lOK, the second at Scarsdale. LeeSaroken won her age group at Newburgh-Beacon and HarryChapin.

Coming off their long deserved victory at theOcean-too-Sound Relay, the TRRC Men's Masters (40+)team travelled to up-state New York to win the USATFNational Masters Cross Country lOK Championship. Congratulations to Ken Filmanski, Joe Porcaro, Bob Hermesch,Tony Galfano, Rob Briglio and Nick Caswell.

It was certainly a week-end to remember!

The CHALLENGE of the SEVEN HILLS

In Rome, they are called Palatine, Capitoline, Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline, Caelign, and Aventine. For modern gladiators, the names are Quaker Bridge, Canopus, "Cujo", White, Sunset, Tinker and Bryant Pond. Thehills included in the Challenge of the Seven Hills have been chosen because they are long and steep.The Challenge is simply stated, however, the simplicity masks the difficulty.The object is to run up each of the SEVEN HILLS as fast as possible.Challengers will meet at Downing Park at 7:30 A.M. on Sunday, November 19, 1995.Challengers will be divided into groups and car pools will be organized to minimize the njmber of cars involved. Each carload of Challengers will be given a map, directions and a score sheet. Start and Stop lineswill be been drawn at the base and the crest of each hill. Challengers will record their own times for eachclimb on the score sheet. Travel time between hills is NOT counted (this is a hill challenge, not a GrandPrix.) When all SEVEN HILLS have been conquered, the Challengers will reconvene at Downing Park,where the overall "King" and "Queen" of the Hills will be determined.Special commemorative long-sleeved T-shirts will be earned by each successful Challenger.The overall time limit from start to completion is 3.5 hours.Not surprisingly, there will be refreshments back at Downing Park.Challengers MUST provide their own timing, water and transportation to and between the hills. Designateddrivers are OK. There will be no traffic control or course aid in any manner.Due to the fact that the roads are narrow and we will cause considerable congestion ourselveds, the numberof Challengers may be limited.The overall distance from bottom to top is 5.95 miles. Quaker Bridge is 0.6M. "Cujo" is 1.0M, Tinker 0.65M,Bryant Pond Road 0.7M, Sunset Hill 0.8M, White Hill 0.55M, and the topper is Canopus Hill at 1.65M,The entry fee is $10. NO POST ENTRIES. Entry deadline is November 12, 1995The race director, Myles O'Rhodes, reserves the right to limit the field to 500.

By Katy D. Quinnlaconic Road Runners Club has some serious and highly competitive runners. This is evidenced by the top perfor

mances recorded in the pages of this newsletter on a regular basis. Some of us, however, are happy to be "members of theclub" primarily so we can share in the good times. . .both the "good finish times" of our friends and fellow laconics, but also"good times" as in parties and friends. I am delighted to see new faces appearing at many of our gatherings and hope we allbecome better acquainted at the upcoming dinner-dance and "lost week-end" at Blue Mountain.

laconic puts on some terrific events (check out the 1996 calendar). Whether you are a competitor, a participator, asponsor, a volunteer or a spectator, there is a place for you. Some of our events are "official" and require registration procedures (e.g. the flyers in this newsletter). Many are spontaneous, such as training runs with one other laconic (thanks Owen!)or LOTS of other Taconics (e.g. Saturday morning Pumphouse Runs). Some are at central locations like FOR Park, others arein the back yards or neighborhoods in which we live. Still others are at local pubs and eating establishments (note the"Reuters" notice this issue). 1 am grateful to have discovered the friendship of Taconic.

1 would like to extend a special note of thanks to Peg & Pete Meisler who open their home for great gatherinas andrunning. I took part in the Fall Meisler Run for the first time this Fall. It was ureat

Thanks also to "The Lowry Boys" who open their trunk and hearts to anyone who wants to share in some good timeseach Labor Day. (Carol & I were female gate crashers, but welcomed!)

Thanks to Rich Nash for the rain protection and to all who stuck around at a wet Dutchess Classic to welcome usmarathoners back in great style.

And thanks especially to the many I aconics who shared the good times with Steve and me at our house over the pasty ear. I look forward to lots more "ollicial" and "unoflicial" good times. I'm hoping to have some "good running times." too!

By Kciiy D. QuinnCarol Hansen reminded me that Labor Day was Lowry Loop Day. Last year, we "accidently" happened upon this fine event

as it was moving in to stage two (stage one was running). We decided that our timing was impeccable last year, so once again, weslept in and were running out to the mailboxes as the Lowry Loopers were loping back in.

This year, Donny's brother-in-law Timmy (sorry, Timmy, I didn't get your last name) pedalled his bike out to the mailboxeswith a cooler around his neck to be sure participants received proper libations at the half-way mark. Justin Einhom escorted Timmyand kept him on the high road!

As is tradition, I st, 2nd and 3rd place awards were presented; keys to sociable opportunity in gold, silver and bronze. Winners this year were Vinny Juliano, gold, Dave O'Toole, silver, and Rudi Einhom, bronze. Other "Loopers" in order of finish includedDonny Lowry, Kevin Lowry, Bill Foley, Carmeio Roldan, Rich Salemmo & Jack Magrone (tied). Carol and I were the "mascots" andofficial photographers. (Note that in the photo, Carmeio is hidden behind Vinny. Our apologies, Carmeio, it was NOT done onpurpose!)

T Y T O A L B A

by Steve Quinn, with technical support from Owen McCruddenand Pete Meisler

Yes sir or ma'am, right here in FDR Park residesTYTO ALBA. What is TYTO ALBA you say? Well TYTOALBA is an early species of Taconic Road Runner. I base mycomparison on observations of TYTO ALBA personally madeby Pete Meisler and myself and personal observations of OwenMcCrudden (a Taconic Road Runner).

This adventure began about 6:00 P.M. one evening inthe end of September. Pete and I were meandering up the backtrail at FDR from Downing Park when a shadow crossed ourpath. I looked right, and there looking back at me was TYTOALBA, perched on a branch about 8 feet off the groimd. Hisheart shaped face, dark eyes and long legs gave him awayimmediately as TYTO ALBA. The sound of leaves rustlingdiverted his attention, and mine. A small squirrel was searchingfor nuts. TYTO quickly glided in for the kill, but the squirrel,having none of this, darted to a nearby tree and began to climb itin a circling motion. TYTO could not get close. He surveyedus and his surroundings again, noticing a small deer about 6 feetaway. Eventually, he became bored and left.

As Pete and I continued our most excellent journey, wepondered the similarities between TYTO ALBA and otherLaconics and decided that, in fact, we had come in contact withan ancient Taconic. As all Laconics remember, we used to beable to"fly." TYTO still

TYTO makes hissings o u n d s , s c r e a m s , g u t t u r a l Jgrunts. . .similar to what you f . .*hear at our meeting and dinner w i| ̂ , ,3dance (the Owen McCruddenobservation). TYTO lives inwood or stone buildings, cavesand hol low t rees. TYTO

frequents such places as bellfries and calls his home most of theUnited States.

TYTO ALBA is an adult BARN OWL about 18-21" inlength. His sighting was one of those great moments you have inFDR Park when everything comes together: man and nature, lifeand death. So when you go up that back trail, remember, TYTOis watching. Give him a welcoming Taconic guttural grunt.This is a FACT NON VERBA.

The laconic Masters' Team finally captured theelusive first place title at the 1 Olh Annual Ocean-to-SoundRelay, after several years of placing second. This year, the racewas led olfby Bob Hermesch. who ran his entire 6.2 mile leginto a strong wind. At the starter's signal, over 120 teams leftthe Jones Beach parking field, running with the ocean on theirright. Bob's 35; 14 first leg put us in the lead for the master'sdivision, and 8th place overall. We recognized that with the1 lartford team missing, we were the favorites.

Our confidence continued to gain as Nick Caswell tookover the second leg, and immediately picked up se^■eral runnersin the open division. I lis time of 40:07 in his 6.9 mile leg put usin fifth place overall.

Next came Scott Abercrombie, who made a hardeiTort, even though he was not in top fonn. I lis time of 34:37put us in a 9 minute lead over the next master's team.

With Ste^ e Calidonna, the new 40-ycar-old on theteam, we expected great things, and he did not disappoint us.Steve ran his 6.9 mile leg in 38:20, giving us now a 10 minutemargin over the next masters" team, and within striking distanceof 4th place overall.

Scott Moscnthal was next, and ran his 6 4 inilc leg in37:36, keeping us within two minutes of the 4th place BellmoreStridors open club.

Since we have been in this relay over the >'ears. wehave gotten accustomed to team relays. This year's race wasmade especially smooth with the help of Gary Stcincl. Gar>-came along to help out transporting runners to their legs, and hewas our insurance, in case something happened to prevent one ofthe ninners from competing (laiy's real support, though, cameat the end ol the race, when he led us to the Long Island BrewPub where we were able to celebrate our victoiy before headingto the Official Awards Ceremony

1 took over and ran the 6th leg, a run which 1 had ne\'errun belorc and hope never to do again. 1 finished the hilly 5.5mile leg in 33:59, still inching us closer to fourth place

Happy I'RRC Masters'(-hamps at Ocean-to-SoundRelay, (l-r) Bob 1 IciTnesch.Scott Abercrombie.Joe Porcaro (kneeling).Steve Calidonna, Tom' Oalfano,Bob Briglio and Nick Caswell.(Team members missing fromphoto: Scott Moscnthal &(iarv Steinel.)

Bob Briglio, a Long Islander who was very familiarwith the course, then ran w^hat 1 believe is one of the toughestlegs in 35:33 for 6.4 miles. Bob has been running for Taconicfor over a year and is a great addition to the team. 1 le seems torun stronger the longer the race goes.

Finally came our anchor, Joe Porcaro, who for manyyears has run for Taconic, and just does what is needed. Thisyear, Joe ran the 8th leg, 6.6 miles in 38:23 and brought homethe first place master's title and 5th place overall in a time of4:54:57. We were very pleased with our elTort and are alreadystarting to plan for future masters" events.Post Scr ipt :

At the beginning of the day's event, I spoke to racedirector. Alan Lnd from the Plainvicw Old Bethpage RoadRunners Club (POBRRC). 1 le complimented our Taconic Clubas being the impetus for the Ocean-to-Sound Relay. ThePOBRRC ran in several of our Manhattan-to-Peekskill races andthen decided to try their own hand at a relay. It's nice to see.I'hey do a great job with a lot of police support running throughmany small towns in Long Island. Also, they hold a tremendousawards celebration at L'isenhower Park in Westbuiy. LongI s l a n d .

In past years, there was award money given to firstplace teams, but this year they did away with all (he monevawards, We ran knowing (here was no money, and from myview ol'things, vvc still ran with the same desire to win. Il'thereIS to be a silver lining to Ocean-to-Sound, it is that it is listed asa MAC Team Race. Coupled with Taconic's F'irst Place finish atthe NYRRC Club Team Championship (July 23rd), we may bein for some prize money there!

Being part of this year's team was, in itself, rewardenough for me. It's getting tougher all the time to keep up withour deep master's division As I'm getting closer to the 50's agedivision, I'm starting to wi.sh it would come a little faster to getme out of this tough 40's group. With some new masters"runners coming on to the Taconic Team, we should be able tomaintain our stature as one of the finer masters' teams in thea r e a .

It's unofficial at press time, but from all indications, Taconic has crushed ail competition from the greater Metropolitan arearunning clubs in the long, grueling, 13 race season. With it's 1 st (Brennan), 2nd (Bashant), 3rd (Nash) place finish at the Norwegian5K race October 14. TRRC sealed a season victory with an insurmountable point margin. 4th place went to McCarthy, 5th Edmonds,and 7th place Struve provided insurance for the win. It was tough to unseat powerful teams such as Millrose AA, Witold's TC, VanCortland Track Club, Westside Runners and many more, but Taconic's "Team" efforts and camaraderie prevailed. This would nothave occurred if it were not for the following runners who gave up their time and other commitments to participate in 3 or more racesduring the season. Many thanks, and congratulations!! You have put the best area running clubs on notice.

Close, But "No Cigar" On Mount EverestBy Roger Cocking

The wind was howling, and even though it was acrystal-clcar day snow was swirling up the Great Couloir thaiseparated us from the final summit pyramid of Mount Hverest.Reluctantly, I realized that we had reached our high point atabout 28,200 feet. There was still another eight hundred verticalfeet to climb. Worst of all, it was going to be a long way back tothe safety of our tent, a small yellow dot more than a thousandfeet below. Moti, my Shcrpa companion, was not so easilybeaten. He wanted to go on. "You lead, then," I told him. l iedid not get far. About a hundred yards further, he stopped andlooked intently down into the couloir below. Finally, he turnedto me and indicated that he, too, now wanted to retreat. "ThereIS a frozen body down there," he informed me when we wereonce again together. I could understand why. In spile of mydown outfit, I was freezing cold. My finger tips were alreadygetting frost-bitten, and my ill-fitting, Russian oxygen mask wasfilling up with slushy ice. It was like trying to breathe through amilk-shake. It was time to go down if we were not going to jointhe frozen corpse below us.

Three days before, Mount Hverest had shown anotherface. Summitters had been able to take pictures without gloves.It was so windless and warm that one of our team members hadbeen able to survive in an unplanned bivouac at over 28,000 feet- one of the highest ever on the mountain. But that afternoon, inthe tent, as we sipped Moti's endless brews of tea and treatedourselves to the occasional "swig" of oxygen, we realized thatthe weather was not going to change soon enough for us to haveanother chance. Indeed, we had been the only people that daywho had tried for the summit. Hverybody else seemed to haveretreated to lower camps on the mountain, or had given up. The"summit window" had lasted an "unprecedented" six days, andin this space of time, fifty-three people had summitted, about athird as many people as had summitted in the entire thirty-fiveyear hislort' of North Face ascents, (t was hard to imagine that

there would beanother one that

p r e - m o n s o o ns e a s o n . N e i t h e r

did It really matterto mc, since myfingers werealready tootrashed to

contemplatecontinuing. Radioconversat ionswith base camps e e m e d t o

indicate that noone else on our team, wdiich had shrunk from twelve to eight,was likely to try either, and we made the decision to pack up ourcamp and return to advanced base camp with horrible knec-buckling loads. Wliat a mistake! Five days later, another"window" materialized, and a little over twenty people fromother expeditions got to the summit during the five days that itl a s t e d .

1 was disappointed not to have stcxxl on the summit,since 1 felt that I was imminently capable of gelling there, givenreasonable conditions. There is obviously a great deal of luckinvolved in summitting the world's highest mountain, and afteran attempt, a lifetime of second guessing. I probably shouldhave spent less time "acclimatizing." When the "first window"arrived, I was on my way to base camp, fourteen miles down theglacier, for a needed, lower altitude rest. Rushing back up from17,200 to 21,500 feet in a day to get in place for summit bid wasnot really the kind of warm-up that I needed. In retro-spect, Iobviously would have been belter waiting on the "secondwindow." Unfortunately, I had no crystal ball to tell me that itwas coming!

Do You Know Th i s Man?

By Kaiy D. QuinnIf not, you should!Rich Adamski exemplifies the best qualities of the

1 aconic spirit. . .as a friend, a member, an officer, a racedirector, a volunteer.

I tlrst met Rich at a TRRC dinner dance (like the onecoming up November 17!!!) which I attended with myhusband, Steve, He and his wife, Myra. invited us to jointhem at their table. I was delighted, since I thought I wouldknow no one. but I had recognized Myra and her table-mate,Marianne Fennelly from our aerobics classes at Club Fit. Iwas very much a novice runner at the time and not convincedthat 1 would ever really get in to running. (My, how that haschanged.)

As Steve and I got to know Rich better, after miles ofrunning together, we learned that he and Myra had beenbattling breast cancer for many years. That fun evening at thedinner dance was an introduction to many good times and theblossoming of a deep friendship, but, sadly. Myra was to leaveour foursome all too soon. Breast cancer is a tough beast!

Last year, Nancy Young and some of the rest of us.thought it would be an appropriate tribute to our friend Myrato go to Central Park and participate in the "Race for theCure." We expected to have one or two carloads of people go,but over four dozen of Rich and Myra's friends, sportingspecial "TRRC for Myra" tee-shirts, decided to Join, and Richchartered a bus for the event. It was a great day.

Among those present that day was a breast cancersurvivor and co-worker of Myra's, Nancy Heller. Nancy wasso moved by the day, that she asked Richie to help her launchefforts to establish SHARE in Northern Westchester/Putnam,With the help of Century 21. Myra's and Nancy's employer,and many friends, the first Northern-Westchesier.d'utnamSI lARE-A-WALK was born: October 1. 1995.

The walk is over, but the work continues. Richie andhis fellow volunteers are tallying up the receipts, developingthe mailing lists, contacting cancer survivors who areinterested in establishing a local chapter of SHARE, andmaking plans lor next year's walk. Without even taking abreath, Richie is also sketchina out the lists of things to bedone in staging the Human Race next Spring, for moreworthwhile community causes.

But y ou know what? Rich also finds time to call hisdaughter at college and see how she's doing, to give his son ahug and tell him how proud he is of him for the fine youngman he is becoming, to share a run, a beer and a joke with hisfriends at the park, and to extend an ear. a shoulder or a handto anyone to anyone who needs it.

I'm proud to know this Taconic. . a friend, avolunteer, an officer, a race director, a runner!

MINI-MARINE CORPS MARATHON AT WEST POINTTRRC earns 8 age-group awards

By Nick CaswellIt all happened on Saturday, August 26, 1995, on the other side of the river. The cadets staged two excellent races: a 5K and

a lOK. It was like a miniature Marine Corps Marathon, complete with service and style - you know, that esprit de corps. We werealso treated to a brass band (with a singer) and a Huey taking off. The latter circled upwards and dropped eight parachutists fromgod-knows what height. They looked like ants plummeting from above. Far out! And they all hit their targets on Buffalo SoldierField. But, I digress, as usual.. .back to the race:

Here are the runners - all winners. Taconic did itself proud again, despite that hill*.

* This hill had to be the second longest hill in a race that 1 have encountered: longer than 'Grunt Hill', longer than the hill in theMonticello Monster lOK, longer than the hill in the Somers lOK, and longer than each of the Seven Hills. So, which is first? Easy,the hill in the lOK Viking Run in Rosendale. This race is 5K up and 5K down. Usually held in late December, this race also providesan excuse to hang out in New Paltz (sic).

Masters Women's ReportBy Lee Saroken

The Women's Open team has had incredible successat recent NYRRC team races. Although the TRRC team is inthe "B" division, they have finished second to the MovingComfort team (which is the "A" division leader) in each of thelast three competitions: Race for the Cure, Fred Lebow 5KCross Country and the Crete Weitz* Women's Half-Marathon.Team members at these events included Joan Dietrick, SarahCollins, Debbie Terranova, Tara Maguire, Maria Bleasdale,Alyssandra Lynch, Nancy Winslow, and Karen Antunano.

The Women's Masters team has struggled this year.Fielding complete teams for the team events has beendifficult. It is hoped that next year, TRRC will be able toconsistently get three women to the line for each scoring race.In the same three races in which the Open team were sosuccessful, the Masters team was a non-starter. The nextevent is the NYC Marathon, and it appears that we will havethree runners to score for us.

The next event is Saturday, December 2. It is a 10mile run in Central Park. If you can run, please call me at6 6 6 - 8 7 1 2 . T h a n k s !

.. .Also, if you are a female and doing a race, pleaselet me know so that we can possible field a team for that race.

P.S.: Congratulations to Kate Glynn on her BostonQualifier.

If you are running Boston, please let me know. Lastyear, our Masters Team placed 6th. We can do it again!Happy running to you all.
