Dear RunMinnesota Readers,It’s been a great spring for running in Min-nesota! Nearly all of the MDRA spring races en-joyed increased participation compared to 2011(see chart below). The excellent race turnout so farthis year can be attributed to the ideal springweather conditions, increased promotion via Face-book and the MDRA e-newsletter and of course thefact that the well run MDRA events remain amongthe most affordable races in Minnesota. We canthank our outstanding race directors for their hardwork and dedication to continuously organize top-notch events that are truly among the best racebargains around. I would like to recognize andthank the race directors of our spring events: JimRath (Lake Johanna 4 Mile), Michael Warden(MDRA 7 Mile), Jeff Winter (Ron Daws 25K), PeterErpenbach (Fred Kurz 10 Mile), Lee Dittbenner(MDRA Mudball Classic) and Lowell Schow (Mom’sDay 5K). On behalf of the Board of Directors, wetruly appreciate all that you do to ensure MDRAraces “run” smoothly.

Of course, organizing and delivering a high cal-iber running event can’t be done without the as-sistance of race volunteers. To the manyoutstanding volunteers who provide their timeand support to MDRA, we also say “thank you”. Inparticular, I would like to highlight one of MDRA’smost dedicated volunteers, Norm Champ. Normrarely, if ever, misses an opportunity to providehis services at MDRA events. In fact, I can’t recallan MDRA race at which I have not seen Normhelping out. In addition, he has been a member of

the Board of Directors for many years (currentlyVice President) and also leads MDRA’s Race Com-mittee. A heartfelt “thank you” to Norm for allthat he does to serve MDRA and the local runningcommunity.

In addition to the great turnout at spring races,MDRA has also experienced very healthy mem-bership growth through the first quarter of 2012.As you may recall, we have been striving to buildMDRA membership up to 2,500 members. I amvery happy to report that we are making progressand approaching this goal. At the end of April,membership had reached 2,410 and still climbing.This is a net increase of 176 memberships sincethe end of 2011. It is very exciting to see thisgrowth knowing that MDRA continues to bestrong and able to fulfill our mission for the localrunning community: “To promote participationand safety in running and to serve as an informa-tion resource.” You can do your part to supportMDRA by renewing your current membership andencouraging your friends and running partners tobecome a member of Minnesota’s oldest andlargest running organization.

Thanks for being a vital part of MDRA!

FROM YOU

Dear RunMinnesota,Great issue! Thanks for all you do for the running community.

I was reading the comments from the contributors regarding “run-ning etiquette” and found them to be for the most part…dead on themoney. However, as you know, I run/race with my daughter Amandaand naturally I would like to add to Pat Goodwin’s comments on run-ning with strollers and pets.

I think what each runner needs to decide BEFORE they enter with astroller or pet is: “am I running this as a fun run or am I seriously racing”.

Here are some strict rules that Amanda and I follow:

1. Always call the race director BEFORE the race and ask permission.It is always an exception if you are going to run with a pet or astroller…and that the race needs to be respected as well as theother participants. Plus…there is no point embarrassing yourself ifyou are told at the start of the race that this is not allowed.

2. If there is a wheel chair division…it is always safer to start with thewheelers. It is much safer for all runners to pass you rather thanyou trying to pass them.

3. If there is not a wheel chair division accept the fact that you willmore than likely be asked to start at the back of the pack. Andwhen I say the back of the back…I mean dead last….don’t eventhink of crossing the starting line before that last runner hascrossed the starting line. Usually we wait to cross the starting lineuntil someone asks us to get going. This allows the runners tospread out before we catch up. Since most races have chip timing,why make a big deal out of trying to mix it up with the wholecrowd? Also, starting at the back of the race can be great training,especially in Marathons where negative splits are a good thing.

Always, always always….if you are going to include yourchild or pet on the course, please remember that they need to payan entrance fee also (but do not give them a chip). Races costmoney. If a stroller or a pet is on the course and sharing theroad…it takes money to run a race and whoever is on the courseneeds to be a paid participant.

4. I agree with Pat that if you are a seriously racing at whatever pace youare running, strollers and pets can be a distraction. Amanda and I arecontent with starting wherever the race director puts us…at the begin-ning, the middle or last. We just want to participate. What a great wayto introduce a young child to running than have their parent includethem in a race….just as long as the parent is aware that they are run-ning… they are not racing… they are participating….they are not com-peting.

5. If you are passing someone with a stroller or pet, please rememberthat is comparable to driving a semi in rush hour. Plan your moveand make sure that everyone around you is aware of your presence.As mentioned in the article, many runners are listening to musicand have no idea you are there, you need to be very vocal to makethem know you are passing.

Anyway, just a few of my thoughts, but as I said earlier, great job onthis article and keep up the good work!

FROM YOUDear RunMinnesota,I had read Katherine Himes’ enjoyable interview articlewith Rick Recker regarding the beginnings of the Lowry Hill Climb inthe January/February issue of RunMinnesota (“Running the Hills ofKenwood”).

In it, she states that the hill climb five miler debuted in 1978. How-ever, as a finisher of the 1977 Lowry Hill Climb, I have proof that the raceactually started in 1977. I have attached the 1977 result sheet of the racewith my first and only appearance in it (I finished one hundred and sev-enth as a 19 year old). I had coerced my [University of Minnesota] room-mate, Craig Phelps (two hundredth place), who was not really a regularrunner, but did quite well nevertheless, to run it with me.

I recall us splitting a six pack in our dorm room the night before therace, and he seemed to think the race was a great idea. I really don’tremember much about the race itself other than it was as punishing asthey say with the double climb and descend.

The only other thing I recall were the race t-shirts that were yellowwith brown graphics (mine long since wore out). I also believe thatthis was my first road race of any distance, me being pretty fresh outof high school. I also was aware of MDRA, but was not a member atthat time.

Also of historical note and just plain cool is the fact that we sharedthe road that day with the following local legends and/or folks I thatknew personally who were way faster than me:

• Jim Ferstle (the inaugural winner and long time running writer)

• Steve Hoag (no comments necessary)

• Tony Schiller (one of the best all time Minnesota and U.S. agegroup triathletes. I would later compete against Tony in severalcanoe/run/bike triathlons in southern Minnesota in the late 80sand early 90s)

• Peter Wehrwein (he was an excellent two miler for Edina West HighSchool. I tried to run against him as an Edina East [High School]runner)

• John Naslund (the only person to have run all the Grandma’s andall the Twin Cities Marathons)

• Rick Kleyman (long time Armstrong [High School] coaching legendand one of the early leaders of the running movement in Min-nesota)

• Rick Recker (one of the original MDRA members and current USATFMinnesota President)

• Ron Daws (no comments necessary. My favorite Minnesota racewas always the Ron Daws 25K in April: the old Puke’s Peak course )

• Paul Wellstone (yes, the deceased senator, and a pretty decent fin-ish time as well)

• Jack Moran (the man behind raceberryjam, the founder of the TwinCities Marathon and more!)

Later on in the 1980s, I took a hiatus from running and became a bi-cycle road racer for Kenwood Cyclery. The shop sponsored a criteriumin the Kenwood Hills, for only a couple years at the most, that wasequally as brutal.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

RUNNING BRIEFSNews from the Roads, Trails and Track

6MAY/JUNE 2012

G E A R R E V I E W S

Welcome to the first of (possibly) many install-ments of running related product reviews. To begin,I must issue a warning: as the title of this article implies, I amnot an expert in running apparel in the slightest. I have beenrunning for about 15 years, mostly in the same shoes (lots ofAsics) and wearing much of the same clothing. I still often runwearing the first technical t-shirt I bought in 2000. I knowwhat I like but I definitely don’t know all the products that areout there. I will attempt to provide an unbiased opinion ofeach product that I test.

The purpose of this article (and others that follow) is to review newerproducts that have come on the scene that you may not be aware of. Ifyou are like me, once you find something that works with running youdon’t rock the boat, so you may miss out on hearing about new runningrelated products. This column will hopefully introduce you to some newgear that you weren’t aware of.

Three products are reviewed in this installment: tasc bamboo runningshirts, New Balance shoes and Stinger energy food products.

Shirt, Shoes and Honey

Citizen Product Tester NATHAN CAMPEAU

New Balance 860 v2 Running ShoeIn the 15 years I’ve been running, I have probably used over 100pairs of shoes. Of those, approximately five were NOT Asics. In1997 I found an Asics shoe that fit and I stuck with it. Over theyears I’ve moved through a few models in the Asics line towardmore minimalist shoes and now I usually run in the DS Trainers. Ihaven’t really branched out too much into other lines of shoes.When I was offered a chance to try out the New Balance 860 v2running shoe, I jumped at the opportunity.

The 860 v2 is a stability shoe, which is something I don’t re-ally need and haven’t run in for a few years since my feet ad-justed to the non stability DS Trainer. In spite of that, thereweren’t a lot of noticeable differences from my normal runningshoe other than this shoe was about an ounce heavier. Although Ishouldn’t really be comparing the two shoes, since they have dif-ferent purposes, here is my attempt at an objective review:

Pros:Comfort: The shoe feels very comfortable without being toocushioned. I’ve logged about 300 miles on the shoes and I’m sureI have several hundred miles left.

Walkability: I like a running shoe that I can walk around in. Iused to run in Asics 2100 stability shoes and I found that with thehigh heel the shoe was not comfortable for walking. When kick-ing around town or in the yard, the 860 v2 felt very comfortable.When I eventually buy a new pair of shoes I will likely transitionthe 860 v2 to my yard work shoes.

Flexibility: In terrain, that is. I’ve logged many miles in theseshoes on pavement, ice, snow and soft trails. The shoe has per-formed marvelously on all surfaces.

Cons: Fit: On the first run I developed blisters on the tops of both feet.I’ve never had this happen with another shoe. I’m not sure whatwas wrong, but after loosening both shoes I haven’t had anyproblems since.

Price: $110, likely less at local running stores with your MDRADiscount!

Where to Buy: Any local running store.

Bottom Line: This is a really great, albeit boring, stability shoe. If Ineeded a stability shoe, I would run in this shoe with no hesitation.

tasc Bamboo Running Shirttasc (Technical All Season Comfort) running shirts are really an innova-tive product. The mostly organic technical shirts are made from 55 per-cent cotton, 40 percent bamboo and five percent elastane. I was reallyexcited to try this product because bamboo products are typically moreenvironmentally sustainable than petroleum based products. Bamboogrows quickly and is often the flooring material of choice in sustainablebuildings so a shirt made from bamboo sounded too good to be true.

I tested the tasc Performance Crew bamboo t-shirt over a period ofseveral weeks and multiple washings. Since one of tasc’s big claims isthat the natural fibers prevent odor, I balled up the sweaty shirt after arun and pulled it out of the hamper a couple days later (still no smell)!Here is a rundown of the pros and cons of the shirt:

Pros:Low Odor: tasc’s claim really holds up here. The shirt never developedthe typical sweaty odor that regular performance wear does. In manyways the shirt reminded me of a technical wool shirt. However, insteadof a wet woolly smell the bamboo shirt had a slightly sweet smell whendamp. It’s not unpleasing, but it is odd (albeit better than an old sweatytechnical fiber shirt).

1

Lightweight: For a natural fiber shirt it is very light, only slightly heavier than a normal technical t-shirt. Whenwet, the shirt retains a little more water than a technical t-shirt, but not much more.

Breathes Well: I was expecting to overheat while running in this shirt, similar to experiences I’ve had while running in wool t-shirts. I didn’t notice any difference from a regular technical tee.

Very Comfortable: The shirt has a very fine weave and feels like a very soft cotton t-shirt, even after multiple washings.

Cons: Too Long: The shirt fit well, except I noticed that it was a little long in the torso. It’s also very elastic, and whenwet the shirt drags a little lower still. I will admit that I have a somewhat short torso, so the shirt length maynot be as noticeable on someone with a more normal length torso. If you have a long torso you’ll love this shirt!

Retains Water: As previously mentioned, the shirt seems to retain a little more water than a normal technicaltee, but not too much more.

Price: $30

Where to buy: http://tascperformance.com/shop/carrollton-t

Bottom Line: If you prefer natural fibers, I recommend trying this shirt. The downside is you may end up with a re-ally comfortable t-shirt that cost $30. The upside is that you may find this to be the perfect running shirt for you.

Honey Stinger EnergyTwo years ago I was on a train traveling from Amsterdam to Delft, the Netherlands. In a hurry to get to Delft to visit a friend, I didn’t have timeto eat a proper breakfast. I stopped at the kiosk in the train station and noticed little packages of what looked like mini waffles. These tiny,dense waffles were called “stroopwaffles” and were seemingly soaked in pure honey. Basically, these things were like crack to me. Over thenext 20 hours (the length of my entire stay in the Netherlands) I ate about 20 of these stroopwaffles and purchased bags of these deliciousmini waffles to take back to the States.

Upon my return to the United States, I have found stroopwaffles at only a few locations. Imagine my elation at finding out that stroopwaf-fles are sold by a U.S. energy and performance company called Honey Stinger. Obviously I loved the Honey Stinger stroopwaffles. But whilemini waffles may be great as a pre or post run snack, or perhaps a great energy snack while biking or hiking (indeed, they are endorsed byLance Armstrong), I can’t imagine eating such solid foods mid race or run. Actually, I can imagine it and it’s not a pleasant thought.

Then I found out that Honey Stinger also makes energy blocks, similar to Clif Blocks, called Organic Energy Chews. I ran several long andshort runs using the Honey Stinger Organic Energy Chews in the Lime-Ade and Pink Lemonade flavors. Here’s my review of the chews:

Pros:Delicious: Hands down, these are the tastiest energy chews I’ve ever had. In fact, they are the tastiest energy foodproducts suitable for running that I’ve ever had. I even started eating them as snacks as I started craving thechews all the time! Must be the honey!

Gluten Free: While this isn’t a big deal to me, I was happy to see that the chews are produced in agluten free facility. It seems that more and more people are discovering they are gluten intoler-ant and it’s great to see “GF” options for those folks.

Organic Ingredients: Many of the gels and chews out there taste so engineeredand over processed. This organic product is made from the best type of sugaryou can get, honey!

Cons: Packaging: The only concern I had with the chews is that the package is too largeand bulky to comfortably use in a race or long run. You likely won’t want an entirepackage at once. I recommend splitting a package of chews into smaller baggies. Thepackaging seems to be designed more with bicyclists in mind than runners.

Price: $2 a package. Each package could probably be split into two servings for a race.

Where to Buy: Most of the local running stores carry them.

I LOVE THEM! I can’t wait to try some of their other products including the gels and energy bars.

O N T H E R U N

S ixteen world recordsfell during the NationalMasters Indoors heldin the Gladstein Fieldhouse on the campus

of the University of Indiana inBloomington, Indiana. The stellarevent featured some of the bestmen and women athletes, of anyage, on the planet. Watching theseathletes, and meeting a few,though my own race consumedmuch of my attention, was stirringand illuminating. In giving thehighlights of the meet, I’ll add afew reflections the competitionbrought to mind on competing asa Masters runner.

When I arrived in the fieldhouse on Saturday (the meet ranFriday to Sunday, March 16 to 18),the place was in an uproar. I sawright away that the reason for thecommotion was a tall, lean, blondwoman, who was lapping the fieldin the mile run. That was JeanneDaprano. She broke the worldrecord for W75 in 7:13.51.

To put this in perspective, theaverage guy in his 20s or 30s, whoworks out a lot, can run a mile in7:30. At this meet, Daprano alsobroke the American record in the200 meters (36.53 seconds), andset world records in the 400 me-ters (1:21.28 seconds) and 800meters (3:18.48 seconds). It’s hardto overstate how good this is.

One recurring theme of Mastersrunning is a return to athletic com-petition after years away from it. Iam reminded of Bill Andberg, oneof the best distance athletes in his

day, who returned to competitionin his 50s after a 30 year hiatus, tobecome one of the best Mastersrunners around.

Daprano decided to get back inshape in her 40s, and kept on get-ting better. I talked to Gary Hall,one of the best (M65) 1500 meterand 800 meter runners in thecountry. He, too, had a long breakfrom athletic competition. A dis-turbing weight gain spurred him toget back in shape. Like Daprano,he just kept getting better. At thismeet, Gary was second in the3,000 meters, second in the mileand fifth in the 800 meters.

Sometimes the physical en-croachment of age or simple dis-ability can force a layoff. WeMasters athletes have a propen-sity to get hurt. Running, ofcourse, exacts a physical pound-ing, and staying healthy is a bigpart of the game. As I prepared forthe meet, in one of the last hardworkouts, I pulled my right calf.Determined to finish my prepara-tions, I wrapped it and continuedto run hard, straining my left quadin the process. Ace bandagescame to be a trusted friend.

It’s interesting to note thatJeanne Daprano rarely runs longdistances and doesn’t run everyday. She spins on a bike androws for endurance, liftingweights, besides, to strengthenher upper body.

One of the stars of the meetwas the inimitable Bill Collins.The much decorated athleteturned 60 and was gunning for

world records in the 60 to 64 agecategory. He got two of them: inthe 60 meters (7.58 seconds) andas a member of the 4 x 200 meterrelay team (1:41.53). It was a stir-ring comeback.

“Ten months ago,” he said to areporter for the local paper, “Icouldn’t even walk.” He had con-tracted Guillain-Barre Syndrome, anervous disorder that can lead toparalysis. The support of the Mas-ters community played a big partin his recovery. “It’s just so greatbeing back among my Mastersfamily,” he said.

One of the sterling traits ofhuman nature at its best is the de-sire to get back all you can: firstmove, then walk, jog, run, reallyrun, and, finally, for Collins, setworld records. Collins’ recovery isa tale of triumph. As we age, thebody, of course, is more subject tobreakdown. Among the athletes atthe meet, there must be many stir-ring tales of coming back from allkinds of afflictions.

One of the competitors,Phillippa Raschker (W65), is oneof the great athletes in the world.A multi-event athlete, Raschker

“Society wants so badly to categorizeeveryone, but the people here refuse to dothat. It is inspiring to see these people.The body ages, but the spirit never does.”-Phil McConkey (M55)

Reflections on “ageless” performances BY PATRICK O’REGAN

10MAY/JUNE 2012

has held many world records inrunning and field events. She stillholds the W45 indoor high jumpworld mark, set in 1994. Asked bya reporter how many worldrecords she currently holds, shesaid, “It’s not that many. I thinkmaybe 10. It’s time to start stack-ing up again.”

In one world championship, shewon 10 gold medals. In this meet,she competed in nine events andset world records in two: the W65pentathlon (4,670 points) andpentathlon 60 meter hurdles(10.72). She also won the longjump (13’ 10 1/4”) and triple jump(27’ 11 1/2”).

Raschker has been nominatedtwice for the Sullivan Award asbest amateur athlete of the year.She’d be an outstanding choice.Indeed, some say she is thegreatest female athlete of alltime. All the news lately has beenabout Peyton Manning. He’s re-ally something, but he’s not inthis woman’s league.

Among the athletes represent-ing Minnesota was the fine runnerJim Schoffman. Taking advantageof his remarkable stamina and re-cuperative powers, Jim ran the 60meters, 200 meters, 400 metersand 4 x 400 meters. In his bestevent, the 400 meters, he wasfourth in 1:00.60.

Not all athletes, of course, areoutstanding. Many, like me, are or-dinary folks who like to keep fitand enjoy the thrill that pushingone’s body to the limit brings.“First, be a good animal,” the run-ning guru, George Sheehan, says.

And, if you like to extend your-self by running hard, do that, too.Just use good sense; the will isoften much stronger than whatthe body can bear. Because, asyou Master athletes know, theproblem is not the inability towork hard as we have as muchspirit and will as ever. The prob-lem is the inability to recoverfrom hard work.

Whatever the level of perform-ance, all runners who take compe-tition seriously are familiar withMr. P: Pressure. Some people han-dle it better than others. When weprofiled Carrie Tollefson, the

Olympic runner, for RunMin-nesota, she told us that one of herfriends, also a top-flight middle-distance runner, gave up compet-ing simply because she got tired ofthe pressure. I can understandthat. The hours and days leadingup to the start of a race can beonerous. Just get to the startingline, we tell ourselves, there is noother choice. When the gun goesoff, the bubble of angst will burst,as the race consumes the atten-tion.

One of the top competitors, PhilMcConkey, a sprinter and formerNFL wide receiver, had this to sayabout the pressure of competition,“It’s tough for people to compre-hend that nerves are all relative. Ihad the same sensations in gram-mar school [during competition]that I had playing football andeven today.”

Something should be said aboutthe officiating, which was first-rate.One wants to say Olympian in itsattention to detail and strict adher-ence to the rules at every race. Ameet only works well if someone isin charge. The officials were firmlyin charge. They made even pedes-trian runners feel a part of some-thing special.

There is nothing like track andfield competition: the prepara-tion, the anxious buildup to therace, the competition itself, theintense satisfaction of having gotto the starting line and given iteverything you have in a hard in-dividual effort.

The experience is no less singu-lar for a pedestrian athlete than foran Olympian. As Phil McConkey putit, “You have middle-aged men andwomen that have the same experi-ence they did when they were kids.That’s amazing.” It is, indeed.

My time in the race was dread-ful, even for me. But it really does-n’t matter. I’m not competitive.Besides, as I see it, the fire is all.After the meet, I was back at thehotel, running on the treadmill. Ican’t quit. And, I suspect, neithercan you.

Records FallAmong the many notable achievements at the meetwere the following:• Kathy Bergen (W70) – Kathy was the first woman to go under 15seconds in the 100 meters at more than 70 years of age. At thismeet she became the first woman over 70 to break 32 seconds inthe 200 meters (31.86).

• Robert Lida (M75) – Robert set world records here in the 60 me-ters (8.67), 200 meters (27.86) and 400 meters (1:03.90).

• Christa Bortignon (W75) – Christa set world records here in thepentathlon, 60 meters, 200 meters, pentathlon 60 meter hurdlesand triple jump. In two indoor meets this year, Christa has set 10world records and 15 Canadian records.

• Ralph Maxwell (M90) – Ralph bettered his own world record in thepentathlon (4,030 points). He also won the triple jump (18’ 3 1/2”).

I s a man of 58, Jim Schoff-man’s age, any less of arunner, because of his age,than a man half as old?Does age dampen the qual-

ity of the performance? Are olderrunners less competitive? Less in-tense? Is the difference just a mat-ter of glory, money and PR? Couldthe best running record of all beheld by a man or woman of 70, 80or 90? The running career of JimSchoffman, one of the best mas-ters runners in the world in the400 meters and 800 meters formales 55 to 59 years old can shedsome light on these questions.

A little background is illuminat-ing. Jim was born in Avon, Min-nesota, not far from St. Cloud, in1953. His family was distinctlymore about brains than muscle.Neither his father, a chemistry pro-fessor at St. John’s University, hismother, a hospital dietician, norany of his siblings were athletic.But Jim loved to run, and he hadthe engine for it. As a kid, “We’d

run around the house,”he recalled. “Often whenit rained, in the mud. Iwas the youngest, but Icould take them all.”

Jim attended highschool in Albany, Min-nesota, seven miles fromAvon, devoting himself totrack and field with in-creasing intensity. Start-ing out as a hurdler, hewas soon moved to thesprints, because hiscoaches recognized hisspeed. As a junior, he hadhis best year, competingoutstandingly in the 100yards (10.1 seconds), the

220 yards (22.3 seconds), the 440yards (50.3 seconds) and the longjump (21’6”).

In spite of the fact that he hadto compete in all four of thoseevents on the same day in the dis-trict meet, he made the RegionalChampionships in all of them. Hegot to the State meet in the 440.Running, as he vividly recalled, onthe cinder track of old MemorialStadium, in a rutted lane one, hefailed to get a medal. Instead, thememorable runner Mark Lutz wonthe 440 that year.

Jim agreed with the old adageof running: to get better, you haveto put your body in a place it hasnot been in before. He recalled aworkout from his high schooldays. “We’d run a 440 at a stiffpace and then immediately run a110 as hard as we could go.” Thatwill do it.

By his standards, Jim struggledin his senior year. He made the re-gional meet in the same fourevents as the year before and ad-

vanced to the State meet in the100. But he failed to make theState meet in the 440, his bestevent. However, he became evenfaster, lowering his 100 time to 10

seconds flat and winning theOutstate Championship in the60 yard dash. Even then, there were other

things besides running. Jim’s highschool sweetheart (they bothplayed in the band) was his futurewife, Nancy. They have been mar-ried for 32 years. Getting an earlystart in the world of work, Jim wasa stock boy for Arnie’s Bar onMain Street.

For the sons and daughters offaculty at St. John’s University, tu-ition is gratis. Jim joined the trackteam there. As a freshman, he ranthe 100, 220 and was on the 4 x 440relay team. At the MIAC Conferencemeet, he placed fifth in the 220 andthe 4 x 440 team got second. Theywould have won, but the anchorrunner misjudged the finish line.

Facilities matter. As a freshmanand sophomore, Jim ran mostlyoutside in the winter, running re-peats on a road in the snow andcold. The only option for running in-doors was to run diagonally acrossthe gym. Then, in his junior year, St.John’s built a new training facility.

Encouraged, Jim started usingweights and training harder. At theconference meet, he made the fi-nals in the 220 and was fourth inthe 440. He trained through thesummer. Improving, as a senior, hewas third in the 440 and anchoredthe 4 x 440 relay team to the con-ference championship. He loweredhis personal record to 49.5 sec-onds, a time that missed the na-tional meet by .1 second.

That was it. After St. John’s, Jimquit running or any overt training.“If I had the urge to run,” hejoked, “I’d call Runners Anony-mous and they’d talk me out of it.”One has to wonder how he man-aged to stuff the talent, as onewonders the same about womenbefore the 70s.

But he did. Like a lot of terrific

runners, running was not in hislife. In 1979, he married Nancy,who became a dental hygienist,and they had two children, Sarahand Brad. Jim rose to be opera-tions manager of an electronicscomponents distributorship.

He was not running, but whenthe kids were old enough to be leftalone for a few minutes, he andNancy took walks every eveningafter dinner. One day, while theywere walking, Nancy said to him,“You don’t like this, do you?” “Ittakes too long,” Jim said. Theystarted to jog together and thenrun 5K races.

In 1998, at age 45, Jim decidedto take part in the St. John’s Var-sity Alumni meet. “If I can’t runwell, I’m not going,” he thought.He trained for six weeks and didrun well: 65 seconds in the 400.The next year he lowered his timeto 62 seconds, and the year afterthat got it down under 60 seconds.

Then, life got in the way of run-ning. In 2000 and 2001, Jim wasadding on to the house and beingaround for the kids. Running wasshoved aside. Finally, competitiongot his attention. He discoveredtrack sites on the internet andmade the acquaintance of GregSchwab, the outstanding localMasters sprinter. “He’s been an in-spiration,” Jim said. He started totrain again.

In 2004, Jim made the plungeinto Masters running. He trainedfrom the start of the year and en-tered the National Masters Out-door meet in Decatur, Illinois, thatsummer. It was quite an awaken-ing. Lining up for the 100, Jimfound himself in the lane next toBilly “Whiteshoes” Johnson, theformer star NFL receiver. He ran avery respectable 13.4. By 2006,training very intensely, Jim ran the400 in 56.6 at age 52.

Jim’s breakout as a Mastersrunner came in the National Cham-pionships in Oshkosh, Wisconsin,in 2008. He had been training veryhard that year, running repeat200s in 28 seconds. “I’d get sick

after those workouts,” he recalled.In the meet, he was second in boththe 400 (57.06 seconds) and 800(2:14.44), while also setting aMasters personal record in the 100in 12.51 seconds and running the200 in 25.85 seconds.

The relays are a highlight of anytrack meet. “The fans go wild,” Jimsaid. To run in relays and be com-petitive at the highest level, Jimjoined the premier track and fieldclub Mass-Velocity. Its membershipincludes some of the best athletesin the country and the world includ-ing world champions and MastersHall of Fame members Roger Pierceand Tom Langenfeld.

In 2010, Mass-Velocity won theNational Indoor Team Champi-onship, with Jim running legs onthe first place 4 x 400 and 4 x 800relay teams. In future years, Jim willbe running for Mass-Velocity at thePenn Relays and Millrose Games.

A look at Jim’s current training

is instructive: he trains five days aweek. In the spirit of Mass-Veloc-ity (“Not far, just fast”), most ofhis training is intensive (interval)running, with weights. Typical run-ning workouts are 10 x 200 at 38seconds, with one minute rest onan easier day and 6 x 200 at 31seconds with three minutes reston a harder day. Longer repeatsare 300 meters at 36 seconds. Asthe season progresses, he lowersthe time of each repeat and short-ens the rest interval.

As a Masters runner, no, as arunner, Jim’s best performancecame in the 2011 World Cham-pio-nships meet in Sacramento, Califor-nia. He won his 400 metersemi-final heat in 56.4 seconds andfinished fourth in the finals, run-ning 57.7 seconds. His semi-finaltime would have garnered a bronzemedal. He also ran the 800 meters,taking eighth place in a racemarred by poor tactics on his part.

A Champion’s AttitudeSome of Jim’s comments best show his attitude toward running:Have you ever won a National Championship? “Not yet.”

What do you think you can accomplish as a runner? “I can run a 55[seconds] at age 60. That is one of my goals.”

Do you look forward to age 60 [the next age category]? “Absolutely!Age takes on a whole different aspect now. When I get into a newage group, I am reborn.”

Are you still trying to achieve the best performance of your life? “Yes.With age graded times, you can compare your performance now towhen you ran in your 20s and 30s.”

What causes a runner to decline over the years? “You lose strength …and training intensity… But sprinters lose it less than distance run-ners. That hasn’t caught up to me yet. My intensity is still quite high.”

Is there an end to this? Will you be running in your 90s? “Oh, ab-solutely! I’ll keep training as hard as I can. I always want to try toget better. My heroes are those guys, like Hammond and Maxwell,that ran [in Maxwell’s case, still do] in their 90s.”

Would you be running if you didn’t have a talent for it? “I like to thinkthat I would, for the love of it. I admire those who do. The thrill isthe same.”

Jim showed us videos of the 400 and 800 races at the 2011 MastersWorld Championships. To see 55 to 59 year old guys running like ter-rific high school runners, it was positively weird. We’ve interviewedsome of the best athletes around, including three Olympians. JimSchoffman and others like him are in that league.

Multi-sport events are trending up. Have you considered joining yourfriends in one? Here’s what you need to know to jump in. BY CANDY PATRIN

Maybe it was the short winter, the warm temperaturesthat brought people out on the roads or the buzz that Lance Armstrong

returned to his triathlon roots. It seems like everywhere you turn there

is someone training for a triathlon, either a first “tri” or one at a longer

distance. There are, in fact, some interesting statistics that point to the

increase in the popularity of triathlons.

(TRY)ATHLON

14MAY/JUNE 2012

According to the USA Triathlon(USAT) website, “Triathlon partici-pation in the United States is at anall-time high, following unprece-dented growth over the pastdecade. USAT can easily track thesurge through its membershipnumbers, which surpassed150,000 annual members in 2011.To put this into perspective, an-nual membership hovered be-tween 15,000 and 21,000 from1993 to 2000.”

Try a triAt TriFitness in White Bear Lake,Minnesota, co-owners Judi Flugerand Vicki Ostendorf attribute thegrowth in triathlons to a number offactors. For some, finishing a tri ison their “bucket list.” Others likethe cross training aspect of thesport. And then there are thosewho are bored with their exerciseroutine and want to try somethingdifferent.

Fluger and Ostendorf have seenan 81 year old man complete hisfirst tri and another guy who lost167 pounds during the course ofhis training. They also say that themajority of new tri participantshave a history of running or swim-ming in their background.

Naturally, when three sportsare involved in one event, there isa lot more that goes into the train-ing and planning prior to a compe-tition. Fluger and Ostendorfsupport tri athletes through pro-grams they offer, such as a 12week first tri training course, a triclub and other options mentionedon their website, www.trifitness-wbl.com. Their advice to firsttimers is to use the equipment youcurrently own, with a few excep-tions, before spending a lot of

money on a new bike and/or othertri gear.

For first triathlon essentials,Fluger and Ostendorf recommenda pair of tri shorts and a race belt.These items are not too costly andmost likely are included in a kit ifyou join a tri club. If you decide touse a wet suit for the swim, youshould rent one from a tri store orother reputable tri sport resourceuntil you are ready to make an in-vestment. If renting, make surethat you communicate with therental location that you will beusing the wet suit for a triathloncompetition versus another watersport because there are differ-ences in wetsuits.

Another piece of advice for newtri athletes is to get familiar withswimming in open water. Flugerand Ostendorf say that peoplewho learned to swim as kids maynot realize that swimming as anadult, without stopping to play orrest, is a different experience.They suggest getting a swimcoach who is familiar withtriathlons to help you with suchthings as basic stroke technique,how to sight in open water andwhat to do if you should panic inthe open water.

Another part of tri competitionthat will come as a shock to run-ners is the registration fee. Overthe years, runners have been prettyvocal about the rising registrationcosts for road races. In comparison,registration for the Lifetime FitnessSprint Triathlon scheduled for July14 this year (.25 mile swim, 15 milebike and three mile run) is $149.00plus service fees.

Those registration fees in-crease with the distance of theevent. For example, the individual

entry for the Wisconsin Ironmanon September 9 this year (2.4 mileswim, 112 mile bike and 26.2 milerun) is $625.00 and currently soldout. However, you can find regis-tration fees around $100.00 perevent for smaller, locally spon-sored triathlons at the shorter dis-tances.

There are several contributorsto the higher registration fees ac-cording to Fluger and Ostendorf. Inaddition to the insurance, there isa need for more staff, medical as-sistance, buoys, boats, lifeguards,law enforcement personnel, etc.The timing mats alone add to thecosts. Tri athletes can expect splitsfor “in and out” of the water, “onand off” the bike and “out andend” of the run. Results will reflectthe time you spent on each sportas well as your transition times be-tween disciplines.

All of these preparations add tothe safety of the event and, ulti-mately, the fun. Fluger and Osten-dorf both stress the fun andcamaraderie associated with tritraining and competition. Andwhile there may be some un-knowns associated with tri compe-tition that can raise yourapprehension level, those athleteswho have literally “taken theplunge” seem to be hooked.

NewbieKim Togstad, Chaska, Minnesota,started running 20 years ago whenshe was in college. During the lastseven years, she has consistentlyparticipated in running distanceevents. Togstad got into triathlonsto beat the monotony of running(especially in the winter whentraining on a treadmill) and to addsome variety to her workouts. Her

first questions when considering atri were how should I train andwhat do I wear.

Togstad completed her first trithis winter, the Tri-U-Mah! IndoorTriathlon at the University of Min-nesota. Currently she is registeredfor the Buffalo Triathlon (sprint dis-tance) in Buffalo, Minnesota, onJune 3. Togstad admits to a slightfear of open water swimming andwants to see how things go for herin Buffalo before signing up for an-other tri and/or a longer distance.

Her training currently includesrunning three days a week withspeed, hills, and long runs beingthe typical workouts. Togstad alsoswims three mornings a week withthe West Express Swim Team'smaster's program in Chaska, Minn.a routine she started a year ago.She will add biking now thatspring has arrived.

To date, Togstad has purchaseda Felt entry-level tri bike (approxi-mately $1,000.00) and a trainerthat her husband gave her as a gift($300.00 range). She plans to renta wet suit from Elsmore Aquaticsfor the Buffalo Triathlon.

Togstad admits that the infor-mation available about triathlongear and training can be over-whelming. “I speak running, butthe triathlon world has its own lan-guage,” says Togstad who feelscomfortable talking shop at a run-ning store and a bit intimated at atri store.

Her advice to someone consid-ering a tri is to “get in the pool.”During the next couple of months,she plans to adopt a tri workoutplan that describes things in theterms she is comfortable with andgets her to the point of putting thethree pieces together in a “brick”workout (newly learned tri termmeaning back-to-back workouts oftwo different elements of atriathlon).

SprintThroughout high school, AmandaMelquist, Chaska, Minn., com-peted in swimming as well as gym-nastics and track (primarily sprintsand hurdles). About five year’sago, she signed up to train for herfirst 5K, which subsequently lead

to a couple of marathons. In 2009,Melquist participated in the YWCAWomen’s Triathlon (500-yardswim, 15.5-mile bike ride, 5K run)as a way to challenge herself whiletraining for her first marathon. “Ireally loved the experience of theall-women triathlon and have doneit almost every year since [exceptone year when she was preg-nant].” says Melquist.

Currently Melquist swims threedays a week, about 2,500-3,000yards per workout, with the WestExpress Masters Swim team. Shealso runs with a group from theChaska Community Center threedays a week and gets in a weeklycycle/sculpt class.

To date, Melquist has been ableto keep her tri expenses to a mini-mum. During her first year, shecompeted with her mountain bikefrom college and only purchased apair of tri shorts and top for a totalof about $100.00. She also foundsome clips and bike shoes onlinethrough eBay. Last year shebought new TYR shorts that wereabout $100.00 and a garage saleroad bike for $50 followed by anadditional $150.00 for a tune upand bike fitting. “The road bikeisn't the right size for me, but itworks with my current budget,”says Melquist.

This summer she plans to dothe YWCA Women’s Triathlon once

again on August 12, the Lake Wa-conia Half Marathon and a fewother races. Her goal is to con-tinue to run and swim to stayhealthy and active. “Running andswimming help me focus on meand adult interaction, since I am astay at home mom with three kidsages 1, 5 and 8,” says Melquist.

Melquist encourages everyoneto tri a triathlon, especially thesprint distance. She has a fewother words of advice…• Practice swimming in a lake be-fore your event—it is com-pletely different fromswimming in a pool in the abil-ity to see where you are goingand to also have other peoplekicking and bumping you.

• Bring a towel to your transitionspot to layout your gear andwipe your feet after the swim.

• Your legs will feel like “jello”after the bike—it will seem likeyou are going slowly but youwill probably be running atyour regular pace.

Since doing her first triathlon,Melquist has sought out advicewherever she can find it—tri storepersonnel, presentations, printedtraining programs. “I have learnedthat it doesn't matter how fast orslow you are, everyone cheers youon and the camaraderie is wonder-ful,” says Melquist. “ It also does-

n't matter what age/shape/sizeyou are, anyone can do a triathlonif they put their mind to it!”

IronmanSadie Briggs, Chaska, Minnesota,likes to set challenging goals,having logged eight marathons todate including Boston. Briggs gotinterested in doing a tri when afriend signed up for her first. “ Ihad a full fledged panic attack myfirst open water swim and wasterrified to open-road bike,” saysBriggs. “With the right group oftraining partners, I learned tolove both.”

Briggs describes herself as an“all in” girl. She did her first sprinttri last June, first Half Ironman lastAugust, and is training for theBoise Half Ironman this June in ad-dition to the Ironman Wisconsin inSeptember.

Due to a stress fracture, Briggsneeded to change up her traininga bit. Currently, swimming is heronly option for cardio work. In thepast, the pool was her least fa-vorite training option, however theinjury has given her a differentperspective. “You know what I dis-covered after being forced into thepool day after day,” asks Briggs. “Ilove it! Who knew?”

Briggs is well aware of theequipment costs associated withtriathlons in comparison to run-ning, especially if you get at-tracted to all the “bells” and“whistles.” She has purchased a$99.00 Xterra wetsuit and a VeloVie road bike for about $2,000.00,as well as some higher end gog-gles for $25.00.

She has a few tips for peoplewho are considering their firsttriathlon…• Find someone to mentor youand help you with all the ques-tions you will have, such aswhat to pack in a bag, how toset up a transition area, what toeat and drink during competi-tion, etc.

• Practice open water swimming(but not alone) because it isvery different from swimming ina pool. If you get your heart rateup because you panic on theswim, the race is all but over.

• Do not compare yourself tothe pros. They are amazing towatch and their times are “jawdropping” but at the end ofthe day everyone wears thesame shirt and gets the samemedal. Be proud of yourselffor finishing such a demand-ing sporting event!

Briggs has found the triathlonworld to be a very friendly andhelpful place. She taps into the re-sources of other athletes beforetaking a tip from a book or web-site. She also recommends look-ing for tri training partners orgroups, taking care to find peoplewith similar schedules and goals.

“You can only give to the sportwhat you have to offer at this timein your life,” says Briggs. “If yousurround yourself with people whoare at a different spot, you willquickly find yourself being pulledin directions you don't want to go.Training partners are essential topass the long hours but just makesure they are likeminded and havesimilar goals as yours.”

Whether you are looking to doyour first triathlon, want to takeadvantage of the cross training, orkeep boredom away, there are nu-merous resources available tohelp you. Stop at your nearest tristore, look for the closest tri clubor simply browse through theraces in your MDRA calendar. Youwill be amazed at the optionsavailable and the race detailsfound on each event’s website.And, if you are a bit apprehensiveand want some VIP attention,Flugel and Ostendorf offer an op-tion to “rent a mentor” (who stayswith you throughout the event) atMy First Tri Triathlon on June 23 inHudson, Wisconsin.

Fitger’s 5K Recap – DuluthBY BOB GUSTAFSON

ONE OF THE TRUE SIGNS OF SPRING in northern Minnesota is the Fitger’s 5K Run and Walk. The23rd running of the race was held April 21, 2012, in Duluth with a record 1,848 registrants.

St. Paul’s Mike Reneau, 34, claimed the men’s division finishing in 15 minutes, 10 seconds – just twoseconds shy of the course record held for the last ten years by Duluth’s Jeremy Polson.

Reneau will be back in Duluth June 16 to compete in the USA Half Marathon Championships whichGrandma’s Marathon is hosting this year and again in 2013.

Katie Koski, 39, of Duluth, won the women’s title with a time of 17:48. The victory was her fifth inevent history.

Both Reneau and Koski raced in the 2012 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials earlier this year in Houston.Many of those participating use the race as a warm up for June’s Grandma’s Marathon weekend races.

A total of 1,597 finishers (1,497 runners, 100 walkers) completed the course through Duluth’s downtownand Canal Park.

The event raised more than $20,000 for the Young Athletes Foundation (YAF), a Grandma's Marathonprogram established in 1990 to assist with promoting and developing youth athletics in northeastern Min-nesota and northwestern Wisconsin.
