We’ve all had pivotal days in our lives… a day that changed everything. Perhaps it was the day you met the love of your life, the day you discovered your future career path or maybe the day you realized that you possessed a passion for or a talent in the sport of track and field. Almost never recognized at the time, upon looking back, you realize that that one day hugely impacted the rest of your life.

Calendar Submissions

For Tish Ceccarelli and me, one of those days came on a cold December afternoon in 2007 when our kids, attending the same grade school, joined the school running club. Rather than be sideline moms, we decided to join in the lap running along with the team. As we ran and chatted Tish relayed that she worked at a magazine titled National Masters News and proceeded to fill me in on the world of Masters Track and Field.

As a former high school and collegiate track athlete, this news was absolute music to my track-starved ears. At Tish’s urging I attended my first Masters meet a few weeks later, met the people who would become my future teammates and decided that this was something I had to do. Months later, after becoming firmly established in our sport, Tish asked if I would be interested in working at the magazine as the ad director. With a background in journalism, I definitely was ready to return in some capacity to the world of publishing. We’ve both now worked for National Masters News for several years, gradually taking on more and more of the duties as time passed. It has certainly been a rewarding, and sometimes challenging experience, that we’ve enjoyed together. During those years, while I’d always admired my friend’s reasonableness, calm demeanor and uber-helpful attitude, my admiration for Tish grew as I witnessed her determination to achieve her self-set goal of meeting the All American Standard in the 5k. A selfproclaimed “mental-health” runner, Tish worked hard, pushing herself, upping her workouts, heading out in inclement weather, always with the prize firmly in mind. She did achieve it, and with that accomplishment both of us gained a greater understanding of what this sport means to those who participate in it. Both of us, having personally tested ourselves, have a deep respect for those Masters and Seniors who, like us, love this sport and spend their time and energy attempting to test and better themselves alongside the likes of former Olympic, collegiate and occasional athletes. In what other endeavor can you compete in the same arena with not only your peers, but also your heroes? This is an amazing sport where one can be a winner without finishing first by accomplishing a personal, perhaps afore thought unattainable, goal? As a high school and youth track coach, I often tell the kids, “This is the greatest, purest sport in the world”, and, as we prove in Masters, it can impact them for the rest of their lives. Neither Tish nor I realized that December afternoon that our casual conversation would lead us to eventually accepting from Randy Sturgeon, and those before him, the honor of producing National Masters News. Our main goal for this venture is to bring more and new participants into our sport. We exist to serve the Masters track and running community and welcome your suggestions, advice and help toward reaching this objective. This is a collaborative venture, it involves all in our community and we welcome your input. Your USATF dues subsidize this magazine in part, and we hope you’ll feel free to submit articles, photos, results, and ideas. Help us get the word out to those who, like me pre-2007, are unaware that this tremendous opportunity for continued competition in our “Masters Years” exists. Change someone’s life!

Tish has been an every-morning runner for over thirty years, and has competed at the Masters level on the road in 5ks and in the 800 and 1500m track distances. She lives in Folsom, California with her husband and twin teenage boys. Amanda joined the world of Masters Track and Field in 2008 and has won several national Masters and Seniors sprint championships.

Lyon WMA 2015 A National Masters News Special Report

by Alan Kolling Alan Kolling, masters sprinter and coach to Irene Obera, visited Lyon France this summer while vacationing in Europe. He graciously agreed to view the facilities and the surrounding area and summarize his impressions of the site for this summers’ WMA Championships. It was August 2014 and Lyon, the site of the 2015 World Outdoor Championships, beckoned. So exactly a year before the meet was held, I found myself dropping in on the city (often spelled Lyons in English) for a four day visit while on vacation in Europe, with trusty notebook in hand. Although I’ve visited Paris many times before, this was my introduction to Lyon and the surrounding Rhône-Alpes region, and my experience there was, in the immortal words of Humphrey Bogart, “the beginning of a beautiful friendship.” Paris and Lyon have many things in common, topped perhaps by Lyons’ Tour Metallique which is an unabashed knockoff of the Eiffel Tower, built just three years before. But for me, Lyon is really Paris lite -- without the dense crowds of tourists or the hurly-burly of traffic everywhere; a Paris sans attitude, allowing one to enjoy all the pleasures of the City of Light on the cheap. Like its big stepsister, Lyon is filled with history, dating back to its founding in the days of Julius Caesar, and later served as the birthplace of the Roman emperor Claudius (of Masterpiece Theater fame). More recently, the districts of Fourvière and VieuxLyon (old Lyon) were jointly named a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of their well-preserved neighborhoods and buildings dating back to the Renaissance. Lyon is widely considered the capital of French gastronomy, owing to a natural abundance of products such as charolais beef, Bresse chicken, fish from the Saône and Rhône rivers, cheeses from Auvergne, Jura and Ardèche, and wines from the Bourgogne, Beaujolais and Côtes du Rhône regions. Renowned Michelin threestar chef Paul Bocuse, now almost 90 years old, serves as both the culinary anchor for the area and a gastronomic institution all unto

DeWeese Gives Voice to Masters Mission and Forward Thinking USATF official, treasurer and executive committee member, Carroll DeWeese was awarded the 2013 David Pain Distinguished Service Award at the Athletes Dinner and Banquet in WinstonSalem, NC in July. This speech, which can also viewed on video at Mastersrtrack.com, was his response. “I would like to thank the committee for this award. I know many other people that I believe who should probably have gotten it instead of me, but I am very glad that they gave it to me as a sign that, hopefully, I am having an impact in this work that I do. The reason I do what I do is because I believe that masters athletics is a means to inspire and excite the world, to redefine human potential. We see that here tonight with all these accomplishments. But it’s not only accomplishments for you as individuals, you are redefining how people can be when they age – they don’t have to be athletes, they can be active, they can live meaningful lives. We’re challenging the way people think of how they can live as they age. We also support the values of masters athletics.

National Masters News

Many of you may not realize that the first world championships was masters, it wasn’t IAAF. The first integration of women into the sport fully was masters, IAAF followed. So, we are leading in this revolution for more equality. It’s masters and it’s values that say, ‘We don’t have to have a qualifying standard for you to participate. If you want to participate you’re welcome on the field, or the track to participate with everyone else. It’s masters who are the ones who say, ‘It’s important to us that everyone have the chance to demonstrate to their potential, whatever that potential is, and that the best person is not the one who is in the prime of their life or that happens to be that one person on the peak and everybody else is a loser, its really that individual who, with what abilities they have, are able to use athletics as a means to show their own personal excellence to grow and develop, and to use that as an example to inspire and excite the world. So, I want to thank you, because it’s you who give me the opportunity to serve. Thank you.”

TRANSITIONSIn Training By Dr. Cathy Utzschneider

A Community of Support

He may not have caught up with her on the track but they married and he has been a “huge” supporter of her running. “He prodded me to do more focused training, sensing I had ability,” she said. “I started to focus my training more, race more, and improved.”

Emily Bryans: Staying on Pace

Many masters runners are successful because they manipulate training variables to avoid burnout. They may cut back some things -- mileage, speed work, or frequency of racing – and add others -- a new attitude, more cross training, a new community of running friends…..or something else. But how they do that is different. Emily Bryans, 47, started running and racing in high school, and she is still racing strong – mainly road distances from the mile to the marathon. In 2011 at 43 she won the National Masters 5K at the Syracuse Festival of Races in 17:17. The following week she won the Mohawk Hudson River Marathon in 2:50:35. “The variety in training and racing has made me a better runner.” Her personal bests have come in her 30s and 40s, and her best 5K time came last year at age 46 on the flat, fast course in Westfield, MA. There she ran 17:02. Her open 5K PR was at 34 at Freihofer’s, where she ran 17:13. While her time at Festival of Races National Masters at 43 was a few seconds slower (17:17), it was an age-graded best. Thirty years after she started running, she’s arguably at her best. So what are the ingredients of Emily’s longevity as a successful runner?

Years Off From Racing While she’s run consistently since high school, she’s taken long breaks from racing. She ran two of her four years at Hartwick College, stopping after she developed tendonitis in her knee. Through her 20s, she focused on academics and her career. “I began to be very casual about running, putting a lot of pressure on myself academically and professionally,” said Emily, now employed in the educational testing department for the New York State Education Department. She began racing again at 30, encouraged by her sister who wanted her to enter an hour race on the track. There she met her husband, Vince Juliano, a fitness runner, now a race director and the VP of long distance running for USATF’s Adirondack Association. In the hour race, she said, “I was a lap ahead. He was watching me and thought he would catch me and go by me. But he never did.”

National Masters News

Emily joined the Willow Street Athletic Club when it started 14 years ago. Members train together and race at local, regional, and occasional national meets. “Being on a team has been great, helping me to race longer than I expected. The team is such a nice group of remarkable women, and over the years many of us have become very close friends. A huge support network makes all the difference.”

Seasonal Racing

focused in subsequent races on my pace and whether I was running the pace I thought I should be. My thinking would become negative. Now, I’ve stopped putting so much pressure on myself,” she said. “That has freed me. If a race isn’t going the way it should, I let the race develop as it does. If I have a bad race, I brush it off. And while I still have high expectations of myself as a runner, I feel that any accomplishments now are more icing on the cake.” She is more flexible about speed work as well. “I’ve gotten better as a masters at listening to my body and making adjustments as needed. If I have a speed work scheduled on a particular day and feel unusually tired or have some ache or pain, I delay it or let it go.” When preparing for a race, she runs about 50 miles a week (as compared with 65 to 80 miles for a marathon) with one day off a week, a long run of 15 miles, and two quality workouts – one on the track and one tempo workout. Her attitude towards weight training is relaxed. “I do pushups, planks, and sit-ups and weight training at the gym sporadically….. I’m not great when it comes to weight training.”

While Emily runs all year long (an average of 50 miles a week) she doesn’t race Healthy Living all year long and sometimes takes Emily Bryans, 47, credits her longevity as a Helping her months off from performances is racing and speed runner, she’s been racing on and off since her high school days, to taking down-time, sometimes a healthy lifestyle. training.

With her husband, she has typically three cats (Summer, Photo provided by Emily Bryan entered 15 races Jelly, Cole) and black a year since Labrador Retriever turning masters, (Ceilidh), she lives in a log cabin -- “my dream she doesn’t race in the winter.

THROWERS CIRCLE By Jerry Bookin-Weiner

This and That Rule Change Proposals As the 2014 season winds down it’s time to begin looking forward to the Convention and to next year. As for the USATF Convention, it will be taking place in Anaheim, California the week after Thanksgiving, and because this is an even numbered year it’s a “rules year,” meaning it’s a year when new and revised rules of competition can be introduced. As usual, there are several related to masters throwing events that will be on the docket in Anaheim.

age factors for scoring combined events recently. This, of course, includes the Throws Pentathlon. The impetus for the revision was the change from the 400 gram javelin to the 500 gram implement for W60-74, but it appears there are also some changes to the factors used for other events, including the weight throw, particularly for M70+. Hy-Tek, the software company that produces Meet Manager, the widely used scoring system for track meets, issued an update on July 10, but it went little noticed and to my knowledge has not yet been used in any major competition. I am sure that records will be updated using the new tables, and the spreadsheet that many use will also be updated in the coming weeks and reposted on usatfmasters.org. Because factors for some age groups in the weight throw have changed, the Ultraweight Pentathlon scoring will also change as all of the factors used in that competition are based off the weight throw factors. Stay tuned for more news on this.

2015 National Throws Championships As announced at the 2014 USA Throws Championships in Worcester, MA, the 2015 edition of our national meet will take place in Seattle at West Seattle Stadium. The dates have now been fixed and George Mathews and company are getting ready to receive us all in the Pacific Northwest the weekend of August 29-30, 2015. Throw Far!

Most of the rules changes for the throws are technical in nature and deal with how the loops on hammer wires are to be measured and such, making the wording clear rather than ambiguous as it is now. However, there are two that are more significant. The first is a clarification of the rule regarding “one-handed” throws in the weight throw. New language was added two years ago in an attempt to make it clear that the trailing hand could very briefly leave the implement at release. It soon became clear that it hadn’t accomplished the goal, and a revision is being proposed to make it read: In making a throw, the competitor may choose to assume any starting position holding the weight exclusively by the handle, and using both hands except at the start of the throw, and at the release of the implement. The competitor may use optional one handed swings at the start, then must use both hands until the release phase. Prior to the release, the trailing hand will separate for a split second from the handle, and must be relatively close to the leading hand at this stage of the final release, both hands pointing in the same direction towards the landing area. The second is a proposal to establish another national championship throwing competition – the Throw-a-Thon – which was created as an event several years ago. Basically the Throw-a-Thon is a Throws Pentathlon on steroids, with each athlete taking three attempts with each of three implements for each event (the “correct” implement for the athlete’s age group, the next lighter implement, and the next heavier implement). It has been around for a while, contested mostly in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.

New Age Factors For The Throws Pentathlon With very little fanfare, World Masters Athletics introduced a revised set of

HUNTSMAN 2014 WORLD SENIOR GAMES

IT was a beautiful week in St. George Utah Oct 6-8 for the 27th Annual Huntsman World Senior Games track meet, with near perfect temperatures and an incredible setting. Although the track at Snow Canyon High School isn’t fast and could do with some repair, the international competition and friendly atmosphere of the meet is a good reason for anyone to add it to their schedule. The first day of competition opened with nearly 100 competitors in the Shot Put.

In a hotly contested M60 800m Bob Morris (#291) had to race hard to beat out David Salazar (not pictured), Hoeger Werner (#222), and Bill Fitzpatrick (#187). Their respective times were 2:30.52, 2:31.06, 2:31.86, and 2:34.87. Photo by Pam Wendell

The longest toss of the day belonged to M55 Gregory Holden with his 44-00.50m effort. Three others were in the over-40-feet club including M65 Edward Hearn who threw 12.72m for gold and both Marvin Orrock; 12.66m, and Michael Deady; 12.61m in

the M60 division who collected gold and silver medals respectively. M70 Richard Mintken won with a toss that was over five feet further than the next challenger, Raymond Haigwood; 11.17m to 9.62m. M80 saw a tie for first between Melvin Heath and Leonard Rosen, both throwing 32-10.50m. The women’s shot put was just as heavily contested, with Angela Jackson, W50, throwing the furthest of the women, 37-03m. Behind her, in the W55 division, Jennifer Swanston-Jones of Barbados had the winning mark with 11.01m. In a field of thirteen, Janita Austin won the W60 division in 9.37m. Norma Price, W85, took gold with a 7.25m throw that was nearly four feet beyond second place. Robert Shirts, M55, threw a soaring 47.20m Javelin toss to win and in M65 Edward Hearn unleashed a 46.99 for gold. There was tight competition in M80 as Jim Mannino threw 23.92m for gold to Ron Dorsts’ 22.98m silver-earning effort and Jack Janne’s 21.72m bronze medal effort. M60 American and world record holder Linda Cohn easily bested the entire field with her 33.02m throw, with W55 winner Linn Dunton following her, throwing 29.26m for the day. There were other impressive winning throws including W70 Marg Radcliffe’s 22.08m, W75 Elsbeth Padia’s 20.08m, and M80 Ethel Lehmann’s 16.69m. Day one also saw Men’s High and Long Jump competitions. It was intense competition in the high jump that saw three ties and one three-way tie. Leaping the highest in the field was M55 winner Mark Williamson, 1.81m. Five other men also bested the five-foot mark: M50 winner David Sampson; 1.70m, M50 silver medalist Dwain Romsa’s 1.60m, M60 gold medalist Garry Pirch; 1.60m, and a pair of M65 jumpers; James Sauers; 1.58, and Charlie Rader; 1.55m. In the long jump Roger Parnell, missing from the track field scene for a few years while recovering from injury came back with a

bang, setting a new American best with a M65 5.38m jump. In the women’s long jump teammates W60 Rita Hanscom and Linda Cohn went one-two with jumps of 4.07m and 3.84m. There were three athletes competing in the W80 age group with jumps of 2.28m, 2.11m, and 1.94m by Ethel Lehmann, Audrey Lary, and Magdalena Kuchne. The Triple Jump produced some close duels. In W55 three women finished within .17m of each other, with Peggy Peck emerging the winner; 7.55, followed by Canada’s Pam Stuart; 7.40m and Wendy BarrowSmith; 7.38. W70 was just as close; Lucille Burton jumped 6.57m with Marty BarlowBeighley right Maria Hopchin (#492) and Lucille Burton battled to the end of the W70 behind; 6.43m.

The sprinters took advantage of the weather to turn in some fast times even though many had run days before at the Nevada Senior Games in Las Vegas. In the short sprints, 50m, 100m, and 200m, several athletes earned triple gold including M50 James Birgans; 6.68, 11.98, 24.48, M70 Kenton Brown; 7.23, 12.91, 27.49, M85 Ryan Beighley; 12.51, 24.06, 54.51, and W65 Brenda Matthews; 7.99, 15.42, 33.70. Also in the short sprints, M85 Richard Loewe was the inspiration of the meet, taking a hard tumble near the finish of the 50m. Taken bleeding to the hospital, Loewe returned bandaged the following day to win a silver medal in the 100m in 26.03. Birgans took home a fourth sprint gold medal wining the M50 400m in a swift 55.86. Also in the 400m

Time Warp A look back at the world of Masters Track and Field via the National Masters News archives.

October and November, 1979 14th and 15th Issues Light on track meet news as the season wound down, the 1979 October and November issues of National Masters Newsletter focused heavily on the recently contested Third World Veterans Championships. The coverage began in the October issue with the headline: World Veterans Movement Coming of Age, and continued: Viewed in perspective, the 3rd World Veterans Championships in Hannover, Germany, was a momentous event. Back home, weeks after the final event became history, the minor frustrations pale compared to what really took place. Over 3100 men and women from 42 nations came together in a spirit of international friendship and competition. It was the largest single track and field meet in history, surpassing the 2700 at Gotenburg, Sweden in 1977. Old acquaintances were renewed; new friends were formed. The bonds between peoples of different nations became a little closer. The enormous gaps in language and customs that have separated the world for centuries were narrowed just a little. T-shirts and addresses were exchanged, invitations to visit friends in other countries were extended. Many were excitedly

already thinking ahead to the 4th World Veterans Championships in New Zealand in 1981. The level of performances was awesome. A serious re-evaluation of the capabilities of the human body is in order. Achievements undreamed of 10 years ago are realities today. World records of a decade ago are ordinary marks today. In Hannover a 60-year old John Gilmour of Australia became the first person in history to run the equivalent of a 5-minute mile. Men in their midforties were running the 800m in 2 minutes. A 50-year-old, Peter Higgins of Britain, ran a 400 in 52.28, a time which would win most high school races and many college contests. A 49-year-old woman, Colleen Mills of New Zealand, broke one minute in the 400. Sixty-five year old Willi Rumig of Germany long-jumped nearly 17 feet. The World Veterans movement is coming of age. It’s becoming big business.

Keeping Our Readers Informed On Page 20 of the October issue, the editors shared with the readers how the annual budget was divvied up, stating, “Our aim is to always keep you as informed as possible as to what’s going on”. In addressing the $35,000 sponsorship given to the National Masters program by Financial Fitness of Occidental Life Insurance Company, the approximate status of the grant at that date broke down as follows: Eastern and National Indoor Championships - $1,000 each Midwest Indoor Championships - $350 June & July Newsletter - $2700 August thru December Newsletters - $7,000, not yet paid Western Regional Championships and Pan-American Games (Calif) $1,000 each, with $2500 each not yet paid National Rankings (Geza Feld) - $500 And the following amounts, all not yet paid: Eastern Outdoor Championships - $1000 Midwest Outdoor Championships - $1500 Mid-America Championships - $500 Medals and Patches - $2000 Delegates to Las Vegas AAU Convention - $3000 Age Group Directory - $2000 Age Grading Records (Natl Data Running Ctr) - $2000 National Outdoor Championships - $3000

National Masters News

Rankings It’s not stated whether Financial Fitness, Inc. will again sponsor our program in 1980. If it should not, we must support the newsletter and national and regional championships on our own. Starting in January, the subscription price for the newsletter will be $10 a year. The November issue newsletter again recounted tales from the Hanover meet, but also included some “glass ceiling” type stories relevant to the days during which they were written, including:

Anderson Breaks Sex Barrier London, England - Sept 30 Another discrimation barrier fell to the forces of equality this overcast autumn day... It was Ruth Anderson, 50, of Oakland, California, breaking the sex barrier by becoming the first woman ever allowed to enter the prestigious London-to-Brighton road race. The 54.25-mile race had been an all-male event throughout its 30year history. The breakthrough wasn’t easy. Anderson and others waged a 6-month mail and telephone campaign to convince the organizers to let her run. In pushing the point she opened the door for several other women who had wanted to run, one of whom had gone to London using the identity of a man. “It was one of my all-time goals,” Anderson said, “One of my dream races.”

And in another example of how the times have changed, or perhaps it’s just the technology that has, on page 14 of the November issue, Geza Feld wrote: We are again compiling a ranking of the top 100 runners, hurdlers, jumpers and throwers in all masters age groups (4049, 50-59, 60+) in the following events: 100, 200, 400, 800, 1500 (mile times converted), 5000, 5-miles, 10,000, 10-miles, halfmarathon, marathon, 110-hurdles, 400-hurdles, long jump, high jump, shot put, discus, and javelin. The computerized list will include only 1979 results, and will be available around March 31 1980. If you’re interested in receiving a copy, please send a stamped self-addressed envelope and $1.00 per event before February 1, 1980. Your name, of course, will be included if you made the top 100 list. If not, it will show you the improvement needed to get up there. We ask all athletes, race directors and organizers who have Masters race results for 1979 to send us a copy, with the age of each competitor listed. We also ask athletes to send your best marks, races, dates and age so we can make sure the rankings are complete. Rankings for 1978 are still available at 50c per event. Editor’s opinion – everyone involved in Masters Track and Field who even periodically clicks to John Seto’s Masters Ranking site (for no charge) should thank him for his efforts, and a donation to help John maintain the site would greatly help as well!

Miles to Go base-building early in the summer. Following his final major race in June, he takes two weeks off, then initiates the climb back toward high volume. “I’ll start at 60 to 70 miles per week, then start putting up big miles—105 to 120 a week, with every fourth week at about 140.” To stay sharp, Lokken races once a month, with an 8 miler in September before October’s big event, the Twin Cities Marathon (annual host of the USATF masters marathon championship).

By Pete Magill, 2013 Masters Cross Country Runner of the Year, oldest American to break 15 minutes for 5K, 14:45 at age 49, co-author of Build Your Running Body (2014, The Experiment/ Workman Publishing), and the Coach of the Cal Coast Track Club masters program.

FALL RACING:

Covering the Spread For masters LDR athletes, the fall race season is a banquet of championship events. Everywhere you look, there’s another title to be contested. There are USATF masters championships on the road at 5K, 12K, 15K, and the marathon. And in cross country at 5K and 10K. And on the Association level at multiple distances—usually including a series of Grand Prix events in both road racing and cross country. It’s a race glutton’s paradise. But it comes with this warning: Try to run them all, and your banquet will become less like sampling a bevy of tasty dishes and more like Joey Chestnut stuffing 60 hot dogs down his throat during Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest. To survive—and even thrive—during the fall season, we masters distance runners need two things: an aerobic base, and a race plan.

Base-Building

While Friend-Uhl aims for shorter races and Lokken aims long, both understand that segueing straight from a previous race season into the fall calendar would be performance suicide. Races from 5K to the marathon are fueled mainly by aerobic energy (around 93% for 5K and up to 99% for the marathon), and that means distance runners must build their aerobic engines. We do that through base training that includes higher volume (mileage), tempo runs, and submaximal repetitions (intervals that are slower than VO2 max training, which is roughly 3K race pace). When you’re racing, there isn’t time—between speedwork (greater than VO2 max training), races themselves, and recovery from races— to schedule all the workouts required to build your aerobic engine. And there’s also this: Races and speedwork can destroy aerobic

It takes time to recover after a distance race—a lot of time. A race damages your muscle fibers and connective tissue, drains your muscle glycogen, depletes your hormones and neurotransmitters, and fries your nervous system. While a miler can bounce back with a hard workout 2-3 days after a race, you’ll need almost five days for a 5K, and more—sometimes much more—for longer races. “Some people say for every mile you race, you need a day off,” says Lokken. “But as you get older, you need about 45 days for a marathon.” In their book, The Runner’s Body, exercises scientists Ross Tucker and Jonathan Dugas report that chemical markers associated with damaged muscle cells are 15 times higher than normal the day after a marathon, versus double normal values after a half marathon, and barely a blip on the screen post-5K. Even after 45 days, Lokken is careful to ease back into training. “After you break them down, you put the leggos back together—no pun about Legos.” Shorter races demand a recovery plan, too. “Because of the pounding, a half marathon really beats me up as compared to a track race or 5K,” says Friend-Uhl. “I need a good two weeks minimum to race well again after a half marathon—and two of those a season is about my limit. As for 5K to 10K, I’ve had success with back to back weeks of racing as long as the 3rd week is off.” Both Friend-Uhl and Lokken finish their fall seasons with December’s highly competitive USATF Club Cross Country meet, which features separate races for masters women (6K) and masters men (10K). Friend-Uhl’s third place overall finish in last year’s meet in Bend, Oregon, led her Atlanta Track Club to the women’s 40-49 team championship. And Lokken’s 2006 title (he also won in 2009) propelled his Front Line Racing squad to the M40-49 championship in San Francisco that year. While Friend-Uhl continues her fall training plan of train-race-recover, Lokken never returns to the highvolume training he utilizes premarathon. “After Twin Cities, I’m not doing more than 60 to 70 miles,” says Lokken. “I do a lot of trail and golf course running. And while I might do some tempo, I don’t do any other races before Clubs. I figure I’m fit enough [from previous marathon basebuilding].”

Building a Fall Plan

“I take about ten days completely While there are indestructible masters off after my last track race or road runners (e.g., Brian Pilcher, 2013 mile,” says Sonja Friend-Uhl, a Masters Athlete of the Year, who runs five-time gold medalist (W40-44) at Pete Magill, shown here finishing first in M50, fifth overall, 20-30 races a year, from the mile to the July’s Masters Outdoor Track & Field marathon), most LDR athletes have to at the 2012 US Masters Cross Country Championships in Championships and the 2012 USATF make a choice: Run lots of fall races 16:31.5, will be a regular contributor to National Masters masters champion for 5K road racing by keeping them short, or focus on the News with masters-themed long distance running features. and 5K cross country, “and then I marathon and maybe one or two other Photo Courtesy of Pete Magill start a build-up of miles.” Friend-Uhl major competitions. gradually re-introduces strides, drills, and tempo repetitions, along with Try to feast on the entire spread—or to enzymes, proteins responsible for efficient focusing on a weekly long run, before jumping attempt a season without proper preparation— aerobic energy production. back into a fall race circuit in which her focus and you’ll likely end up back on the couch, will be shorter events. reading results in National Masters News and Recovery promising yourself that next year, cross your For runners targeting a fall marathon, a postOnce your base is built, you’re ready to race. heart, pinky swear, you’ll enter the fall season track season base may not be enough.

Twin Cities 2014 National Masters Marathon Championships By Ted Sillanpaa Mbarak Hussein held off Michael Wardian on a challenging course in Minneapolis, Minnesota to earn a 12-second victory the USA Track and Field Masters Marathon Championship. Hussein, who resides in Albuquerque, New Mexico, finished in 2 hours, 22 minutes, 27 seconds. Wardian, from Arlington, Virginia, was right on his heels at 2:22:45. The event was part of the 2014 Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Weekend run on Oct. 5. It was the 24th straight year that Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota teamed to host the Masters Marathon Championships. Sheri Piers, 43, from Falmouth, Maine, won the women’s title. She finished in a time of 2:42.46. Boulder, Colorado’s Joanna Ziegler, 44, was second in 2:46:13. Piers won $7,500, while Zeiger earned $4,800 for her efforts. Hussein, 49, won $7,500. Wardian, 40, pocketed $4,800. Jason Ryf, a 43-year-old from Oshkosh, Wisconsin, finished third in the men’s division in 2:24:55 to earn $3,500. Christine Kennedy, a 59-yearold from Los Gatos, California, finished first in age-graded women’s rankings. She finished in 2:59:43 to win $800. Piers was second with her time of 2:42:46, followed by Ziegler in 2:46:89. Margaret Sheridan, a 54-yearold from Woodbury, Minnesota, was fourth in age-graded times at 3:16:47. Donnella Neuhaus, from Minneapolis, was fifth. The 58-year-old ran a 3:29.85. The men’s age-graded leaders were all under 50 years old. Hussein was first at 97.03%, followed by fellow 49-year-old Tracy Lokken, from Marquette, Wisconsin, 91.44%. Ryf was third in age-graded times, too, followed by Wardian. Ryf is three years older than Wardian. Spyros Barres, a 51-year-old runner from Mystic, Connecticut, was the first over-50 finisher in age-graded times with a mark of 88.61%. It was a big day for Hussein. Just after winning the men’s race, he learned that his wife Liana had entered into labor with the couple’s first child. The defending champ, who claimed his fifth U.S. Masters title, left quickly for his New Mexico home to be with his family.

“I’m very, very happy,” Hussein told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune before heading to his wife’s side. “This is the first time in a long time I’ve come to the starting line feeling healthy. But I’m so comfortable with this course. I can come in less than 100 percent and still run well. I feel lucky to come back and win. It doesn’t get any easier. Hussein suffered calf and Achilles tendon injuries earlier in 2014, but was a full health for the championship. He raced to the lead in the second half of the event, held in chilly temperatures, and held off Wardian. Wardian was coming off of a 100-mile race in his last outing. In his 40th competitive race of 2014, he challenged but could not pass Hussein. “He’s an amazing athlete,” Wardian said, eyeing the 50-kilometer and 100-kilometer world championship races later in the year. “He was a little too far ahead. I wasn’t able to cut into his lead. I wish the race had another 600 meters.” Ryf and Milwaukee’s David Williams, 43, followed. Stewart Ellington, a 40-year-old from Lexington, Kentucky, finished fifth among men in 2:35:07. Uli Steidl, 42, from Seattle, followed in 2:38:31. Then came 51-year-old Barres with 50-year-old Ricardo Maldanado of Fountain Hills, Arizona roughly one second behind in 2:39:03. Raleigh, North Carolina’s Tim Meigs, 48, was ninth in 2:39:13. Brett Bernacchi, a 42-year-old from Phoenix, Arizona, was 10th in 2:39:28. Piers, who has won the last two U.S. marathon crowns, and Zeigler led the women’s field. Kristin Barry, a 40-year-old from Scarborough, Maine was third in 2:52:19. Duluth, Minnesota’s Katie McGee, 41, was fourth in 2:53:41. The 59-year-old Kennedy’s 2:59:43 claimed fifth place. Kathy Wolski, from Knoxville, Tennessee, was sixth in 3:05:48. Lori Moriarity, a 48-year-old from Port Orchard, Washington, was seventh in a time of 3:12:55. Woodbury, Maine runner Margaret Sheridan, 54, was eighth in 3:16:47. Laurie Hanscom, a 51-year-old from Eden Prairie, Minnesota, was ninth in 3:20:52. Minneapolis’ Neuhaus, who was among age-graded leaders, was 10th at 3:29:09. Sheridan and Hanscom were followed by Arden Mills, Minnesota entry Linda Green, 50, who ran

He has two standout stars in W50 Makie Ohler, formerly of Japan who now lives in Nevada City with her husband, and W50 Inka Mims, also of Nevada City where she lives with another budding runner, her twelve-year-old son.

How long have you been competing as a Masters athlete? Makie: Seven months. I became a member of a new running club, Trkač Racing Team in February 2014 and joined USATF for the Bay Area Senior Games in May. I had never run track races before then.

AROUND TRACK the

By Gary Snyder USATF Masters Chair

2015 WMA Team Hotel in Lyon, France Hi Everybody, Earlier this year at the 2014 WMA World Indoor Championships in Budapest, Hungry approximately 25 members of the USA team enjoyed staying at a team hotel. I can report we have secured a team hotel for Lyon. It’s the Mercure Saxe Lafayette, a four star hotel, located in central Lyon close to the Rhone River and a 20-30 minute trip on the subway system. The

rates are 95 euros for a single and 105 euros for a double, breakfast included. The team managers, the team masseuse and myself will all be staying there. The team hotel provided the opportunity for us to dine and get together for social activity. The web site to reserve a room is:

http://www.lyon2015.com/ hebergements/?langue=e n&onglet=1&acces=&IdH otel=2035 A block of fifty rooms is reserved and will likely go fast so plan ahead and reserve now. See you on the track. Gary Snyder

New Jersey Senior Olympics Woodbridge, NJ September 4-6, 2014

Elite results with global implications are hardly new to Tony Harlin. Harlin, the former Manhattan College standout (M55) concurrently snatched a season best in the shot put, and a world-leading toss (15.66m) with an explosive performance at the annual NJSO meeting. Harlin is the lone American to extend past the 15-meter mark during the outdoor campaign. With Richie Sambora as a notable alumnus; it was fitting that age-group athletes rocked the Woodbridge High School oval with a host of record performances. Rich Choppa (M55) moved to fourth on the US performance list in the long jump. Choppa leaped just short of 5-meters at the National Indoor Championships, last March, but has progressed throughout the summer season. Three weeks before the New Jersey meet, Choppa took the gold at the Granite State Senior Games on the basis of a 5.03m mark.

National Masters News

The New York resident shone in NJ, reaching out to a season best, 5.21m mark.

Maureen McDowell (W50) dove into the SB mix as well; a product of a 9.18m heave in the shot put. McDowell’s results demonstratively improved since beginning the season with a mark of 8.48m, last May. James Clark (M60) paralleled McDowell in achieving a seasonal high ground; spinning the discus to his first 40 plus mark of the year (40.57m). Michael Kish (M60) snapped up a pair of victories in the short sprints; taking the 100m in a time of 12.5h and coming back with a 25.8h in the deuce.

Kentucky Senior Games Frankfort, KY September 6, 2014

Significant numbers of athletes utilized the opportunity to wind down the 2014 outdoor season one last time. Perhaps seeking to garner a late season PR along the way; the gathering produced more than a few quality performances. In the 400m (M60) David Schmanski, the architect of a spirited 57.14 at the USA Nationals, found himself returning to the winners circle following a 1:01.6 endeavor. Ohio’s David Janson was second in 1:04.45. Schmanski made it a clean hat trick plus one; taking the 200m (27.38) and 800m in 2:37.67. In a stacked field in the 100m, Schmanski nipped Clarence Sebree 13.45 to 13.56. Joseph Myers, silver medalist (M60) at Nationals, reached the 15-meter standard

for the third time in the outdoor campaign; heaving a winning toss of 15.08m. Dan Smithhisler took a win against a field of six in the (M55) 1500m competition. The Tennessee native broke the under-five minute barrier, clocking 4:57.62 in the process. David Lee (M50) joined Smithhisler as the lone two entrants to navigate the oval below five minutes, following his 4:56.73 clocking. Mary Robinson (W70) was among the athletes who benefited from participating in Kentucky. Robinson bested both of her Nationals performances in both the javelin and discus. Robinson captured the ‘nats on a throw of 16.67m but lifted the flight of the javelin to 17.26m in her most recent outing. It was a mirror image in the discus circle as well, as Robinson upped her seasonal high from 13.24m to 13.50m.

Norm Bower Memorial Throws Pentathlon Kent, OH September 13, 2014

World leader John Wirtz (M45) topped the 4000 point barrier for the second time this season, registering 4051 points at the 18th annual meeting held at Kent State University in northeast Ohio. Although Wirtz did not record a single, season best in the overall competition, his production was chock full of world class efforts nonetheless. (A week later, Wirtz turned the tide; exploding to a season high mark of 4327 pts. at the Ashland University Masters Series in Ashland, OH) In the weight throw, Wirtz uncorked a toss of 15.04m. Only California’ s Nick White has joined Wirtz on the list of 15 -plus meter performers this season. A closely contested M60 played out over the course of the day, featuring Patrick Hauser, Raymond Bzibziak and Wayne Renner. Hauser took charge in winning three of the events with Bzibziak winning the hammer throw and weight throw. Hauser clocked out with 3218 points to Bzibziak’s 3086. Renner who was within reach throughout the competition produced a strong outing in the shot with a mark of 10.72m. Tamara Alegria-Dybrig (W55) connected on four of five events in terms of reaching the AllAmerican standard. Alegria-Dybrig ended with 3349 points on the day. Her season best of 3672 at the USA Masters Throws Championship last August afforded her a silver medal. Donald Ragon (M65) and Mickey Bitsko (M70) triumphed in their respective age groups’ Ragon was aided by a 38.52m throw along the way while Bitsko posted a long heave of 40.73m in the hammer. Bitsko is ranked fifth nationally on the basis of a season best 42.34m result.

5. How about a Spike caddy? Golf has its’ caddies that advise the golfer to perhaps use a Five-iron instead of a six or suggest how to account for wind speed and how it will affect a shot. A spike caddy could recommend what type of spike would be best to use for a particular track. The correct spike size, be it 1/4” needle or 3/8” pyramid, could really help those PR’s.

Baseball is always looking to speed up the game, Football is currently playing around with longer yardage for extra points, Soccer is trying to find ways to attract a more diverse fan base. This got me thinking about the sport of Masters Track and Field and I believe I may have come up with a few ideas to improve it. 1. For the shot putters, how about developing an onsite shot put return system… it could work just like a bowling alley system that returns your bowling ball after your roll. How cool would that be, put the shot, the mark gets measured and recorded and then the official just drops it into the return system while you simply wait for it to be delivered right to you at ringside.

7. At the finish line provide a step calculator for post race viewing by the athletes. It would be a laser that analyzes stride length and frequency and calculates how many steps were taken in that particular race. And why stop there… the calculator could provide more useful information such as top speed, when it was achieved during the race, when deceleration began, reaction time at the start, overall mph, etc. 8. A meet jumbo-tron would be a great idea. How many times during a football game do the players look up at the jumbo tron to see the last play replayed? How cool would it be to see your last jump, throw, or the photo finish of a race? These are just a couple of random ideas I had off the top of my head for the idealistic betterment of our sport; feel free to let me know if you have more or better ideas! Train Well.

Burning Calories

Lets take a closer look at the four primary ways you burn calories:

Why Some Runners Eat Lots But Don’t Get Fat

Some of my clients seem jealous of their teammates. “They eat twice as much as I do and they are skinny as a rail. I just smell cookies and I gain weight,” spouted one collegiate runner. She seemed miffed that she couldn’t eat as much as her peers—and she couldn’t understand why. They all ran the same mileage, did the same workouts, and were similar in body size. Life seemed so unfair! Yes, life is unfair when it comes to weight management. Some runners gain (or lose) body fat more easily than others. Unfortunately, fat gain (or loss) is not as mathematical as we would like it to be. That is, if you persistently overeat (or undereat) by 100 calories a day, in theory you will gain (or lose) 10 pounds of body fat a year. But this theory does not hold up in reality. People vary greatly in their susceptibility to gain or lose body fat in response to over- or under-eating. In general, when people overeat, research has suggested about 85% of the excess calories get stored as fat and the rest gets lost as heat. Overfed fat cells grow in size and in number and provide a storehouse of energy. Obese people commonly have enough

1. Basal metabolic rate (BMR). BMR refers to calories burned when you are at rest and unfed, such as upon waking in the morning. Your heart, lungs, liver, and other organs use a fairly consistent amount of energy each day to keep you alive. Some runners believe they have a slow metabolic rate that causes them to gain weight easily. Not the case. Very few people have a “slow metabolism.” 2. Thermic effect of food. This refers to the energy needed to digest, absorb and either convert food into fuel for the muscles and organs or store the excess energy as body fat. The thermic effect of food increases ~14% with overfeeding, due to the added energy needed to process the excess food. 3. Purposeful exercise. This is what you burn during your workouts. This can vary considerably from day to day. 4. Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT). This refers to activities of daily living (brushing teeth, washing dishes, etc.), fidgeting, energy used to maintain posture when standing and sitting, and spontaneous muscle contractions that occur during the day apart from your purposeful exercise. People with high NEAT spontaneously putter around the house, fidget with pencils, use their hands when talking, and are animated and lively. NEAT is genetic and somewhat predictive of who stays lean throughout their lifespan. People with low NEAT are good at sitting quietly. For example, obese people tend to sit 2.5 hours more a day than their peers and this can save them about 350 calories a day. Are they obese because they sit more? (Or do they sit more because they are obese?) Is NEAT the problem?

What happens with overeating? To better understand why some people lose or gain weight more easily than others, Dr. James Levine PhD of the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota designed a study to look at the biological mechanisms that hinder fat-gain. Dr. Levine studied 16 non-obese subjects (12 males and 4 females), ranging in age from 25 to 36 years. They volunteered to eat 1,000 excess calories a day (above what they needed to maintain weight) for 8 weeks. The subjects were healthy, did not do purposeful exercise more than twice a week, and maintained a stable weight. Prior to being overfed, the researchers monitored the subjects for two weeks to learn how much food they regularly consumed to maintain their weight. During the study, the subjects lived at their homes but ate supervised meals at the research center. The food had been carefully prepared and measured in a metabolic kitchen. The weight-gain diet was high in protein (20% of total calories) and fat (40% of calories), and low in carbohydrate (40%). The researchers accounted for almost all of the excess 1,000-calories a day. On average, ~430 of the 1,000 calories were stored and

~530 were dissipated via increased energy expenditure. The researches even measured 3 days of poop before and at the end of the study to be sure the subjects did not excrete calories during overfeeding. Only 38 calories a day got flushed down the toilet during overfeeding — 13 calories more than during normal eating. Here is the fate of the 1,000 excess calories the subjects ate: Energy stored as fat ranged from 60-685 calories per day Energy stored as muscle ranged from 15-80 calories per day Additional calories burned by organs: about 80, on average Additional calories used to digest the extra food: about 135, on average Additional calories burned via NEAT ranged from none to 690. The researchers used highly accurate methods to measure changes in body fat (DXA). Some of the subjects gained 10 times more fat than others, ranging from 0.8 to 9 lbs (0.36 - 4.23 kg). The overall weight gain ranged from 3 to 12 lbs (1.4 -5.5 kg), some of which was additional muscle and water. NEAT explained the big variation in weight gain that occurred with the subjects in this overfeeding study. The subjects who were good fidgeters and putterers gained less. The average increase in NEAT was 336 calories a day, but this actually ranged from burning 98 calories less than baseline to burning 690 calories more than baseline. The subject who burned the most calories strolled around the research facility (or did equivalent movement) about 15 minutes more per hour than the other subjects.

Conclusion Despite popular belief, the ease of gaining weight is unlikely due to having a “slow metabolism.” Most often, runners who are easy gainers are mellow, sit calmly, and don’t fidget. This contrasts to teammates that are bouncing around the locker room. If you are the mellow-type, blame your genetics — not a slow metabolism — for your ease of weight gain. And perhaps you can be grateful you can spend less money on food because you don’t eat as much?

By Mike Tymn

Zamperini Defined Endurance When a former business associate told me about all the adversity he had to overcome in finishing the Honolulu Marathon in some three hours and change, while mentioning it was the greatest test of endurance he had ever undertaken, I listened attentively and did my best not to visibly smirk. In fact, ever since interviewing Lou Zamperini back in 2001, I have always hesitated a little when writing the word “endurance” in connection with feats in the athletic arena. It seems so inappropriate to apply the word to mere recreational pursuits after using it to describe Zamperini’s ordeal during World War II. I think it is safe to say that movies about real people or true events usually exaggerate or embellish the story to some degree. However, I don’t think that would be possible in Zamperini’s story, which is told in the movie, “Unbroken.” At this writing, the movie has not yet been released, but I don’t know how the movie producers and directors could possibly add to the pain, agony, and overall adversity that Zamperini, an Olympian at 5000 meters in the 1936 Berlin Games, had to endure and overcome. As I wrote in the April 2002 issue of Running Times magazine, for Zamperini, endurance meant surviving in the rigid domain of despair, beyond the reach of help, or rest, or pity. It meant living from day to day with the heart tearing itself between hope and fear, merely subsisting under a cloud of doom with no finish line in sight. It meant starving and thirsting while confined to a life raft in the Pacific Ocean for 47 days. It meant fighting off sharks while the enemy shot at him from above. It meant being tossed around by waves that towered over him during an allnight storm on the 46th day. Then, with the maddened fury calmed, and after being taken prisoner by the Japanese on a small island, endurance meant living with the tyranny, torture, and torment of his captors, including the threat of decapitation, while confined to a

box-like cell measuring six by three feet, and being fed only fish heads and rice scraps. And then there were two cold winters with a minimum of food in a POW camp in Japan, his weight dropping to around 76 pounds. How can one possibly compare the endurance involved in distance running with that kind of endurance? Zamperini, who transitioned from this life last July 2, at age 97, was a mere 85 when I interviewed him. I had read his story in his 1956 autobiography, Devil at My Heels, long before the current bestseller about him was released a few years ago. He met me downstairs at the First Presbyterian Church building, just four blocks from the famous intersection of Hollywood and Vine, then bounded up the stairs, taking them two at a time, as he led me to his office on the second floor. I had heard that he was into skateboarding at the time and asked him if it were true. He shrugged and said something to the effect that it was a good way to get from his home to his office.

that he had Zamperini escorted to his box. “Ah! The boy with the fast finish,” Zamperini recalled Hitler’s reaction as he was introduced to him and shook his hand. After telling me that story, Zamperini opened a drawer on his desk and pulled out the German flag with the Nazi swastika that he stole from in front of Hitler’s office at the Reich chancellery. After seeing Hitler and his entourage pull up in a vehicle and go into the chancellery, he and a friend decided they wanted the flag as a souvenir. “After they went in, there were just the guards there,” he recalled with some amusement. “I timed them marching back and forth and planned it so I could get across the street and grab the flag before they saw me.” But he couldn’t quite jump high enough to reach the flag and was caught by the guards after a shot was fired in the air. There was some discussion before Hitler came out and told the guards to give him the flag and let him go. Back at USC, Zamperini broke the NCAA mile record with a 4:08.3, the world record then being 4:06.4. His coach, Dean Cromwell told him that he would someday run the mile in under four minutes, but Zamperini laughed it off, commenting that everyone knew that a sub four-minute mile was impossible. Looking back, he said he felt certain he could have broken four minutes if he had trained like runners of today and been able to run on modern tracks.

We talked about his running days first, how his brother, Pete, got him into running, forcing him to quit drinking and smoking. Running changed him from a street gang delinquent to a “somebody” at Torrance High School in the Los Angeles area. “Overnight I became fanatical. I wouldn’t even have a milkshake,” he told me, also recalling that he took mouthwash with him on dates and would immediately rinse his mouth after kissing a girl good night to rid himself of possible germs. In 1934, his junior year of high school, he broke the national high school mile record of 4:23.6, which had stood for 18 years, with a 4:21.2, a record that would stand until 1953.

But his real story began with the war and his service as an Army Air Corps navigator. When his B-24 developed engine trouble during a search mission and crashed at sea, his 47-day endurance test on the life raft began. He and two other survivors of the crash subsisted on a few raw fish, a half-dozen uncooked birds, a couple of shark’s livers and rain water. “We ate everything, eyeballs included, and it tasted like a hot fudge sundae with nuts on top. It was delicious,” he said of tearing into and eating the birds like a wild man. He told of catching two sharks by the tail and swinging them into the raft, as one of the other survivors put a signal flare down their mouths and they then cut them open with a broken signal mirror.

Before entering the University of Southern California on a track scholarship, Zamperini tried out for the Olympic team, opting for the 5000 over the 1500 because he figured he had a better chance of making the team in the longer race. In Berlin, the 19-yearold Zamperini finished eighth in the final of the 5000, but it was his 56-second last lap that caused the most excitement. German Chancellor Adolf Hitler was so impressed

Of course, there is much more to this story of true endurance, stamina, fortitude, perseverance, guts, courage, strength, grit, heart, whatever words be used, but you’ll have to read the book or see the movie, if you haven’t already done so, for the rest of it. However, please pardon me in the future if I use the word “endurance” in connection with some running feat. Our language is simply too limited.

Sporting Life A gue s t wri ter ’s corner

Dr. Elmo Shropshire

By Amanda Scotti, Pam Wendell and Elmo Shropshire One of the perks of competing in Masters and Senior sports is meeting athletes who have lived varied and interesting lives and so have great stories to tell. Younger athletes have yet to experience life; the ups and downs of raising a family, the trials of careers, the pain of loss or the joys of a life well-lived. But the athletes competing in the “older” games bring with them tales of happiness and woe, successes and failures, lessons learned and constant hope. This October, I had the pleasure of meeting one of our sports’ more colorful competitors, Dr. Elmo Shropshire D.V.M. “Dr. Elmo” is better known nation-wide for his recording of “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer,” than for his racing, at least so far. His Christmas classic has sold more than eleven million copies since it was first broadcast by a San Francisco radio station in 1979. Consistently the most requested holiday song of the past three decades, “Grandma” has secured its place in American pop culture and made Dr. Elmo the king of comedy carols. Shropshire has only been competing in Masters and Seniors Track and Field since 2013. He began running in his late 50’s racing in local 10K’s, marathons and ultra distance events. In his words, “After finishing in the back of the pack in the distance races for years, I ran a one-mile race in San Rafael and was surprised to beat a few runners that I would never have dreamt of finishing ahead of at longer distances. We went to Brazil for the World Masers Games in 2013 and I ran track events for the first time in my life. My age grading jumped from 65% in the long distance races to 79% in track distances. After twenty years of running, I finally realized that I’m a short distance runner! This year I started training for track distances and going to the track twice a week. Even at 77, my times

Pam was originally a runner herself and was the one who introduced her husband to the sport. Per Pam, “I remember the days when I was running twelve miles and he could barely run one.” Following a 2002 back surgery that curtailed her running, Pam took up photography to, “Give me a purpose to hangout with Elmo at the track.” She has contributed several photos this year to National Masters News. According to Pam, “I love that when we’re at the track, it’s a level playing field, nobody cares what your profession might be. There are people who have trained with Elmo for years and still probably don’t know that he’s the ‘Reindeer Guy’. Although the reactions are fun when someone discovers this fact about Elmo, the track is a place where everyone just embraces the spirit of competing.”

Elmo Shropshire, crooner of that famous holiday jingle and masters runner, also has another identity. He is a retired veterinarian and a former jockey and racehorse trainer. He has the distinction of, at around age 16, have improved over the past year.” Currently being the exercise boy who broke and rode Dr. Elmo is maintaining a 25-mile weekly training Needles, a Kentucky Derby and Belmont schedule in the hills near by his home, belongs Stakes winner.

Elmo eventually found himself interviewed on the Bay Area’s airwaves and beyond. His distinctive voice led to castings and voice-overs in national advertising campaigns. When MTV began airing his campy video of this stranger-thanstrange holiday song in 1983, it surpassed Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas” on Billboard’s Christmas charts. The song and its singer were off to the races. Now, every Christmas, he combines his passions and dons his traditional red and green silks and heads off for the holiday’s

annual Run for the Roses. As December 25th approaches, Dr. Elmo will be coming ‘round the stretch, triumphantly galloping toward the finish line. Video Link Dr. Elmo YouTube Channel http://www.youtube. com/user/Laughingstockrecords

USA CHAMPIONSHIPS Boulder in 2015, Too! By Dr. Cathy Utzschneider The 2014 USA cross country championships was held at the Flatirons Golf Course on February 15th on a picture perfect day – sunny with blue skies and course conditions that were tame, given what cross country can offer (inches of snow, mounds of mud, ditches, steep hills and sharp turns). The Flatirons Golf Course was, true to its name, flat. Recent snows had melted allowing groomers to remove debris and prepare an even, grass course. There was one creek to jump over, several soft areas of the 2K loop where you couldn’t help stepping in mud up to your ankles, and one 180-degree corner. For many, it was a day for spikes. Facing racers was a competitive Boulder masters running community (also accustomed to 5,400 feet of altitude, which deterred some superb masters from travelling to Boulder), and a gusty, very strong wind which at times made you feel grateful to be running forward. That wind may have contributed to a steep temperature drop within 20 minutes. At the start of the masters women’s 6K,

temperatures were about 57 degrees. By the start of the masters men’s 8K, spectators were looking for an extra layer of clothing and heading for coffee and bagels in the athletes’ tent as temperatures fell to 39 degrees. As President of USATF Colorado, and coordinator of the XC race officials Dan Pierce said, “In Boulder if you don’t like the weather, wait 15 minutes.” Most of the competitive field, including fourtime Olympian Colleen De Reuck, were from Colorado: 110 of the 177 male masters and 50 of the 63 women masters. Not surprisingly, most of the winning age-group teams were from Colorado. “The field here is stellar,” said Hilary Lorenze, 49, who flew from New York, representing the Dashing Whippets Racing Team, and who is also training for the Boston Marathon. “It’s intimidating.” Several who came from sea level said they would adjust their expectations. “We wanted to come to race in Boulder but are not expecting the fastest times,” said Stephanie Whitis, 38, from the Atlanta Track Club. Entered in the Senior Women’s 8K, she came with her husband, Matthew, 46, who was entered in the masters 8K.

Pierce confirmed the challenge of altitude for those arriving from sea level. “I’ve seen races on this course for decades, and many from sea level are taken by surprise with the altitude. It sneaks up on you,” he said. “If you go out too fast you’ll get into oxygen debt too soon and never make up the time. There’s a substantial time difference at this altitude. You’re running as fast as you can and you’re going really slowly – that’s a common experience.” Age group winners of the

Race winner Gregory Mitchell M40 of McMinnville, Oregon blazed a 26:55; good for a ninth-place age-graded percentage of 83.73%. Photo by Michael Scott men’s 8K, four laps of the 2K loop, were: Gregory Mitchell, 40, of McMinnville, OR, among men 40 - 44 and also first male overall (26:55); Simon Gutierrez, 47, of Colorado Springs, among men 45 – 49 (27:13); Andrew Ames, 51, of Boulder, among men 50 – 54 (28:37); Brian Kelley, 55, of Lincoln, NE, among men 55 – 59 (31:12); Doug Bell, 63, of Greeley, CO, among men 60 – 64 (31:53); Lloyd Hansen, 65, of Bloomfield Hills, MI, among men 65 – 59 (34:18); Larry Brooks, 73, of Santa Barbara, CA, among men 70 – 74 (39:28); John Brennand, 78, of Santa Barbara, CA, among men 75 – 79 (46:48); and Mike Fenerty, 82, of Boulder, among men 80 – 84 (50:58). Age group winners of the women’s 6K, three laps of the 2K loop, were: Nuta Olaru, 43, of Longmont, CO, among women 40 – 44 and also first female overall (22:23); Colleen De Reuck, 49, of Boulder, among women 45 - 49 (22:46); Sheila Geer, 50, of Colorado Springs, among women 50 – 54 (24:21); Ellen Hart, 55, of Denver, among women 55 – 59; Kathy Martin, 62, of Northport, NY, among women 60 – 64 (25:48); Jean Nistico, 67, of Boulder, among women 65 – 69 (35:19); Betty Valent, 73, of Boulder, among women 70 – 74 (37:49); and Libby James, 77, of Fort Collins, CO, among women 75 to 79 (31:33). In terms of age-graded results, the top three men were Simon Gutierrez, Andrew Ames, and Rusty Snow. Their races age graded respectively at 86.96%, 85.41%, and 85.35%. The top three women were familiar names: Libby James, Kathy Martin, and Colleen De Reuck. Their races age graded respectively at 96.33%, 92.23%, and 87.95%. If you weren’t able to attend the race this year, next year is an option. The race returns to Boulder in 2015 and it will also serve as a qualifier for the 2015 World Cross Country Championship in China!

Right, Andrew Ames M50 (#78) and Kevin Konczak M44 (#167) race through the mud followed by Ivan Ivanov M40 (#155). Ames finished the race first in his age group in 28:37, Konczak was twelfth in his running 28:55 and Ivanov turned in a 28:19 for eighth place in M40-45.

Right, it was a photo finish for Californians Robert Arsenault M45 (#81) and Marcelo Mejia Perez M40 (#190). In the end Perez placed eleventh in his age group, running 28:45 to Arsenault’s seventh place age-group finish of 28:46.

Susan Nuzum W45 (#64) and Shelia Geere W50 (#13) of Team Colorado round the turn together on their way to a 24:21 (for Geere) and a 24:32 (for Nuzum) finish. Nuzum second in her age group and Geere was first across the line in hers. First across the line for women, W40 Nuta Otaru, raises her arms in victory. Otaru ran the course in 22:23, also good for a 5th place age-graded 84.31%.

saved the best for last: a world record of 5:29.85 for the 1500m. Joining Sabra with her own impressive performances was Irene Obera. This W80 competitor continues to redefine what is possible for older athletes by surpassing the previous world mark in the 100 meters with a time of 16.81. She added more record-breaking performances in the 400 meters and the 80 meter hurdles, with times of 1:39.92 and 19.77, and continued her record breaking ways with a long jump of 2.94m, a 200m hurdle time of 42.24, and the 200 meter dash, run in 36.80. Middle and long distance runners were on a record breaking spree at the meet. Nolan Shaheed surpassed the American record of 7:19.62 in the 2000 meter steeplechase on his 65th birthday. Kathy Martin set a new world standard of 8:37.47 for the W60 2000 meter steeplechase. Roy Englert showed that 90 years old means just getting warmed up as he broke the existing 5000 meter record. No American man over 90 years old has run faster than his 36:13.57. Joining them with record breaking performances were pentathletes Brian Coushay with an M50 American record of 3,639 points, and Sherwood Sagedahl who set a new world standard of 4,060 points for M75. John Starr race-walked his way into the record books. He broke the listed M85 world record with his 1:14:05.10 time. A damp track and mild headwinds slowed times in general for the sprinters, but M60 Oscar Peyton bucked that trend by crossing

by Liz Palmer The USATF Masters Outdoor Track and Field Championships hit the ground running with four days of intense competition and record-breaking performances July 17-20 at Kentner Stadium at Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, NC. Excitement? You got it. Inspiration? Second to none. With sweat, muscle, drive, and will-power, over 1000 athletes put on a four day show for spectators, friends, and family. Peter Taylor was the announcing host, once again memorializing the event with his colorful style. A master’s championship meet wouldn’t seem to be complete without hearing Peter’s voice over the P.A. system. The weather cooperated which greatly relieved those who survived the heat storm that enveloped the 2006 championship meet in Charlotte, NC--overcast skies and mild temperatures kept conditions comfortable which avoided the possible need for a morning and evening split schedule.

his staff of volunteers and officials were friendly and accommodating, and were gracious hosts to the visiting athletes and spectators. American and world records fell like dominos on each of the four days of the meet. One stand out performer was Florence Meiler, W80. Flo set a new world record in the pentathlon by winning all five events with 4,319 points and topped that off with a world record of 1.65m in the pole vault. Flo seems to like her throwing records done in threes; she broke the American record in the weight throw (9.09m), discus (18.36m), and hammer throw (22.30m) as well. To top it off, she added an American record in the high jump by soaring 1.02m. For this outstanding set of performances she was chosen the USATF Athlete of the Week – an honor that was well-deserved. W65 Sabra Harvey was fierce on the track. Sabra set the American record in the 800 meters (2:24.12) and the 5000 meters (20:25.64) on her first two days of competition. She

In perhaps the biggest upset of the meet Dave Shmanski, of Goodlettsville, TN, sped past the great Nolan Shaheed with 300 meters to go to win the M60 800m. Shmanki’s time was a swift 2:19.36. He also blazed to gold in the 400m in 57.14. Photo by Gregory Coates

Double Your Pleasure Two races took center stage in September. The USA 30km Race Walk Championships were held on September 14th in Rockland Lake State Park in Valley Cottage, NY and arguably the nation’s largest walking competition, The 10th Annual New Albany Walking Classic, was held in New Albany, OH on September 7th. The National 30k was lightly attended for a National Open Championship. Out of the seventeen competitors in the field, only one was under 36 years of age. This race was also the USA Masters Championship and 40year old Susan Randall duplicated her effort of two years ago winning the race in a new American 40-44 record time of 2:12:08 at the 25km point en-route to her 2:38:51 victory.

Seventy-four-year old Lois Dicker had the performance of the meet covering 7807 meters in winning the women’s title while Tom Augustine, 64, walked 8853 to top all competitors.
