This Taconic Running Life is a compendium of events and stories diat make it obvious that our club
and other small clubs are very special. When Stacy Wallach came to us and asked that we put on a
race to honor his father, he made just a few requests. Most important to Stacy was that the race take
place where our Saturday runs take place. To Stacy, and to many of us, one of our most special
events takes place every Saturday when many of our members gather to run along the beautiful Croton
Aqueduct and through the quiet streets in that area. We run with friends and fellow runners and enjoy
them and the scenery. Stacy also wanted this race to include only Taconic members and he wanted it to be free. He
would contribute what was necessary to make the race work. And in the end it was one of TRRC's best events ever. I
won, of course. But that should only bring home the point that in a world where the fastest usually wins, it doesn't have
to be true.
Chuck Creel, Jay Graygor, Rob Walters and Richard Izzo went to the inaugural Ironman USA, and ironman distance
event in Lake Placid and all nished, with Chuck coming in 11^. Paul Fendler, long time member and now Hyannis
resident ran a spectacular Falmouth, as did our local member, Mr. Khannouchi and Roy Altman was there to run and
write about it. Many of us went up to Utica to run in the country's biggest 15K. Jack Brennan participated in the Worid
Veteran's Games. We travel all wearing the TRRC singlet proudly. I invite anyone who has a favorite run or race to
share that with us in an article for an upcoming newsletter.
Coming this fall are some of our smallest and best events: the Teatown Trail Run; the Columbus Day Races for
Children; the Cross Country Relay and the Couples Relay; the Dinner Dance. These are the events that make our club
special: running in the woods in Blue Mountain with Harry Neeson who is an inspiration to us all, dancing at the Dinner
Dance with Jerry Radlauer; hoping to win Gary Steinel's cheesecake at the Couples' Relay. And we are proud of our
involvement with the annaul Support-A-Walk at FDR park.
Join us this fall on the trails or on the dance oor. It's going to be fun.

Dear Cl ub Member s:
I am writing to thank you for the award which I received at the
Senior Awards Night at Brewster High School on June 24.1 was
the recipient for your "Get Hooked on Running" scholarship. I
know that this award will be of great assistance to me as I move
on to the Webb Institute in Glen Cove, Long Island. My only
hope is that running will remain as important in my life as it has
been all of these years. I also want to thank you for being at the
awards night, which I know was rather lengthy and hot, espe
cially being that you were one of the last awards presented.
Sincerely,
Thomas R. Edwards, Jr.
To the members of the Taconi c Road Runners Cl ub;
I wish to thank you for awarding me the Taconic Road Runners
Scholarship. Running has been one of my greatest passions in life
and I feel honored to be recognized in this way.
I can assure you that I will uphold the highest standards of our
sport with the spirit and commitment that denes who we are as
r u n n e r s .
Sincerely,
Jesse Tisch

Keep on Running
Contributed by a Taconic Member - Electronic Telegraph, August I"', 1999
They are probably the ttest pensioners in the world. The
oldest athlete limbering up for competition in Gateshead, in north
east England, this week is 97-year-old Everett Hosack, from Ohio,
USA. He will be putting his best foot forward in no fewer than four
events: the lOOm, 200m, long jump and hammer throw. The World
Veterans Athletics Championships, held every two years and tap
ping in to one of the fastest-growing areas of amateur athletics, has
had a record entry this year.
The ercest competition is likely to be among the 40-60 age
groups - where many of the former Olympic medal winners and
World Champions have kept much of the tness and speed of their
glory days. Standards are high.
At the other end of the scale, the level of tness is still
enough to put so many so-called youngsters to shame. After one
85-year-old has tlnished his events in the discus, shot-put, javelin,
and 100m, he has got a heptathlon to complete.
Nearly 12,000 people from 83 countries are making the trek
to Gateshead: and for many, it is the atmosphere, as much as the
competition that draws them.
The World Veterans Athletics Championships took
place from July 29"' to August 8"\

straight year while Cecily Tynan visiting from Philadelphia won in
her rst try. While Brown won by a little over a minute, Tynan's
nished in 11 th place overall on
this hot and humid day, well
ahead of second place Cheryl
Maccaroni, a 40 year old.
The eight mile course is
difcult enough with its rolling
hills, but this year it was run in
the middle of the hottest July
ever. Many runners did the smart
thing and ran easily for much of
the race. Times were slower and
participation was down (it was
held on Sunday.)
The vol unt eer s came out
in force once again, so impor
tant i n thi s race. Wi thout them,
as usual, puttin gon this race is
an impossible task. Happily,
there are too many to mention
individually.
Cecily Tynan (left) and Scott Brown in the lead; Dave
Goldberg nishes strong. Below are Margie Katt, Dave O'Toole
and Jim Martin below.

The race was the dream of Stacy Wallach,
who loves the pump house run we do
every Saturday morning, With water and Gatorade placed
along the route, sometimes up to 60 TRRC members take to
the roads and trails around the Croton Reservoir in runs from
6 to 20 plus miles at all sorts of paces. It is in this beautiful
setting that we train ourselves to run marathons, treat our
selves to runs with our friends, sharing stories and goals. It is
here, every Saturday, that we can forget ourselves and re
member the things that should be more important in our lives.
It is here that Stacy wanted a race to memorialize his father
(please see the accompanying article he wrote about his
father.)
So in keeping with the non-competitive nature of his father,
we fashioned a race anyone could win. Running fast meant nothing. There was no glory this time forthe rst fmisher, just more time to eat
bagels and cheer everyone else across the bridge. Earlier nishers were able to monitor how close their fellow runners would come to their
predicted time. When Joe Jeraci was the third runner in only eight seconds off his prediction of 1:40;00, we thought we had our winner. And
we wa i t e d .
Before the race, everyone had to prcdict the time they would run. The course is an out and back half marathon along trails and grass, with
some roads and few gradual hills. The water/Gatorade stops, manned by Steve Quinn and Marci Smith, were at the '4, V2 and Va points of
the race, There would be one female and one male winner, with second through 5"^ place getting gift certicates worth $ 100, $75, $50 and $25.
The calculation would be by percentage difference from the predicted time so slower runners were not at a disadvantage.
Our president, Ed McLaughlin turned onto the bridge, a little more than a tenth of a mile from the nish as the clock ticked past
2:07:00. Eveiyone perked up because he had predicted 2:08:30 with the kind of bravado Babe Ruth was famous for. He was not wearing the
heart rate monitor he always has on and he seemed naked without it. But his internal clock was on and he came across in 2:08:22, only 0.12
percent off, to the cheers of all who had nished before him. More amazing was the story heard later, that he had stopped to clean up some
cups he had seen, and was seen spceuing past some runners late in the run, certainly not smooth and steady. However, he probably had
that al l cal cul ated.
Katy Quinn, not used to running this distance lately, was rst on the woman's side, nishing only .61 percent off and sixth overall. Hairy
Neeson, nding energy he didn't know he still had, nished his half marathon thinking only 6 miles was possible. Howie Solow similarly,
ran farther than he though he could. Nancy Young ran her rst 13 mile run since knee surgery. Those runners that chose to battle their
fellow runners instead of listening to themselves, faltered in their main goal.
It was a day that put a smile on everyone's face. It wasn't like any other. While 1 doubt we'll start going out there without our watches, it
is for certain we'll be back next year without them in the second annual Harold's Half.

The Harol d Wal l ach Annual Guesst i mat i on Hal f
Mar at hon Run
by Stacy Wallach
August?, 1999
The Wallach Family is pleased to sponsor Taconic Road
Runners' rst annual Guesstimation Half Marathon Run in loving
memory of Harold Wallach, 1915-1993,
The run is approximately 13 miles and follows the regular
Saturday morning route of the Pumphouse Gang, starting at the
brown bridge, continuing past the rst water stop, down to the
Croton Dam, and then out the full length of the aqueduct, and
back. It is structured as a guesstimation run, not a race, in that the
winners five men and five women are those who finish clos
est in time to the times they predicted on their registration forms.
Thus victory belongs not to the speediest but to those who have
the best inner clock since naturally no chronometers or time
pieces of any kind are allowed on the course. The effect of this
structure is to put a premium on (a) nishing and (b) enjoying the
r u n .
Harold Wallach, the father of one of our Taconic mem
bers, would have been entirely amused at the concept of running
thirteen miles for no particular reason other than personal enjoy
ment. His idea of enjoyment was reading a good book with his feet
up, He was not a competitive person and, as far as his children
could tell, was totally disinterested in athletics particularly pro
fessional athletics where the idea of grown men and women being
paid handsomely to chase balls of various shapes and sizes al
ways struck him as particularly absurd. Nonetheless, he did live
long enough to see one of his children run the New York City
Marathon and was effusive in his congratulations, regardless of
what his inner thoughts may have been.
Although not a competitive person, when it came to love
for his family, personal integrity, intellectual honesty, loyalty to
friends (who were legion), endless acts of kindness to friends and
strangers alike, Harold Wallach was a true champion.
To his memory, the Wallach Family dedicates this
Guesstimation Half Marathon Run in the hope that the runners'
enjoyment of the event will be sufcient, year after year, so that
the Run eventually becomes permanent and self-sustaining. Good
Luck and Enjoy!

Vo l u n t e e r i s m
by Steve Qiiinn
I volunteered to head a committee to look at
the club from a standpoint of volunteerism.
How do we solicit and keep people volun
teering? A group of us met and came up
with a number of ideas. I would like to share
some of them with you.
First it is necessary to thank those that
helped put these ideas together. They included Marge Jeraci, Rudi
Einhom, Bob Davis, Jim Whalen, Cathy Groneman, and Joanne and
Bill Bertram. The group included runners, non-runners, long time
and short time members, race directors, past club ofcers, a real
mish mash. Thanks to everyone.
A good friend Joe Handelman can always be heard saying that the
Taconic Road Runners Club is the best. Joe should know, 1 think he
has belonged to four or ve. What makes it the best? We decided
the biggest thing the club gave us all was a social connection. A
non controversial purpose, generally for healthy reasons. We are a
varied group, contractors, teachers, business people, police and
remen, corporate executives, signicant others. We are retired and
we arc still working. We come from a viiried background profession
ally and personally. I nd it stimulating. We felt it was most impor
tant to encourage the social aspects of the club, We also fell we
needed to acknowledge the volunteers, thank them and make their
experience rewarding. We felt the club needed to reach out to exist
ing and new members and ask them to volunteer. Once they do and
make a social connection the fun begins. We proposed a periodic
picnic for families and signicant others to encourage runners and
non-runners to meet each other and nd common ground. We pro
posed establishing a position of Volunteer Coordinator complete
with chair-persons of various subcommittees to help with different
aspects of our races. The various subcommittees will include. Reg
istration, Course Management, Finish line. Refreshments and Scor
ing. We hope to ask club members to consider signing up for one or
more of the subcommittees. Chairs will be appointed for each area.
The idea is for a Race Director to coordinate with the various chairs
for each event. Each chair would assign the necessary volunteers
from his or her pool of candidates. As a member learned various
aspects of race administration they could eventually assume more
and more responsibility as and if they desired. This would give us
a pool of potential race directors and club ofcers. This would also
mean that we should have more people volunteering and therefore
we would all need to volunteer less, unless of course it becomes so
much fun that you want to volunteer more. We would also as
semble information on various aspects of race volunteering to take
some of the fear out of it.
1 am pleased to say I met with the board in early July and they
agreed with basically all of our recommendations. I have agreed to
be the Volunteer Coordinator. The club is also looking at purchas
ing a vehicle (trailer) that can be used to get race hardware to and
from the races with minimal work. The board agreed that all volun
teers will be given volunteer shirts to wear proudly at events. 1 am
in need of a few good members to step up and be chairs of the
various subcommittees. Gia Boulos has agreed to help me reach
out to the members to get people signed up for various subcommit
tees. I hope to have the new volunteer effort in full force by year
end. In future newsletters I will talk about various aspects of race
management and what the sub-committees each do.
One thing we agreed, race directing and volunteering generally
was one of the more rewarding aspects of club membership. We
hope you will agree.

alone. I looked around for a running companion. I found Joe
Handelman. We learned that our predicted times were similar
and happily set out together. We were disappointed that Stacy
was not running, since we enjoy his company, but we under
stood his need to "oversee" things. Our other Saturday
morning companions were missing. (Joanne offered friendly
conversation from her bicycle. Owen didn't know what he
was missing when he went to the Shore. We didn't know
where Carolyn was, and Rudi and Fred left us in the dust!)
The water stops included the usual Saturday morning
socializing. Lee and Nancy and Gia obviously padded their
predicted times to include more socializing time than Joe and
I did, though. They would pass us on each leg of the run, stay
at the water stops longer than we did, then pass us again.
They were obviously having fun too. Their conversation
appeared as lively as ours.
It was m to have all the runners stick to the same
course, not something that happens every Saturday. It was
fun to meet new faces (I expect Graham Keenan to be back!)
and see so many familiar ones. I was very surprised to learn
that my nish time was closest to the predicted time for the
women. I didn't know there were prizes of any signicant
value until WOW! Ed presented me with a most generous gift
cer t i cat e.
What can I say, except THANK YOU! To Stacy for
his sponsorship; to Greg for the concept of the "guesstimate
half-marathon;" to Joe, for the lively conversation and steady
running; to Taconic, for another ne day of running among
f r i ends !
T HA NK S F OR T HE DAY !
By Katy D. Quinn
My brother Pat was my inspiration to become a
runner. He started running, picked the marathon distance for
races, and completed many of them with a college friend. He
and hi s fri end came from Mi nnesota and South Dakota to run
the New York City Marathon. I watched them and caught the
"bug." Two years later, Pat came back to cheer me on in my
rst New York. He gave me sage advice then (which he
repeated for me when we started the Twin Cities, Dutchess
County, and Cape Cod marathons together in later years): "At
the start of the race, give thanks for the day, for being
among friends, and for the ability to run... then enjoy
yoursel f!"
I think of his advice often - and not just at races, but
on training runs as well. Saturday, August 7 was one of those
times. There I was, with more than 50 other Taconics, on a
glorious sununer day (temperatures and humidity greatly
improved over previous summer mornings!), off and running.
Our friend and fellow Taconic, Stacy Wallach had given us
even more reason to give thanks: "Harold's Half tee-shuts,
refreshments, and SURPRISE.. .generous prizes for those
who most closely predicted their nish times.
I got to the pumphouse with little time to spare. I
checked in and heard others talking about changing their
predicted times. I questioned whether or not I would be able
to go the distance, not having completed more than a 10 mile
run in months. My predicted time, submitted some time
earlier, seemed overly optimistic, but I decided to leave it

Twenty one Taconic Road Run
ners and Family members headed
upstate for the 22"'' running of the
Ut i c a Boi l er Mak er . For what Thi s
is now becoming an annual Taconic
trip up to Utica for the largest 15km
road race in the U.S.
1 encourage everyone to participate in this race at least once. It
isan extremely well run race that is as organized as the standard large
marathon. There are a dozen bands/D.J.'s along the route, 20 ofcial water
stops, fans line the 9.3 mile course, and you nish in Matts Brewer)'.
" What coul d be bet t er ! "
All Taconics / guests are welcome to spend the weekend at the Tippin
Masonic temple. The night before the race we were presented with a great
dinner by Chefs Reger and Juliano. Most everyone spent the night at the
temple under the watchful eye of old ghost masons.
The next day race, weather, and post race party all proved to be
more than you can hope for. Hope to see you ail next year in Utica the
second weekend in July.

First, my apologies to all for a belated Women's Open team
update. As of June, our current standing is seventh place, however, we are
close behind the Harriers and New York Flyers. With everyone on the
Women's Open Team improving throughout the season, as well as the
return of two members (welcome back Tara and Alyssa!), I predict Taconic
will improve considerably among the ranks.
To recap our races since May: On May 9th we competed in the
grueling Women's Half Marathon in Central Park. Maria Calidonna, Freda
Clarke, and Carolyn Durst scored for Taconic with a seventh place nish
overall. For the May 22"'' Avon lOK, Barbara Brittan led Taconic with a
nish time of 41:58. Maria Calidonna and Carolyn Cole Durst also con
tributed to our seventh-place nish overall. Gwen Denza participated in
her rst Taconic and lOK race that day, running an impressive 44:15.
June brought noticeable improvements from the team. Taconic's
North County News 5K boasted the nest race yet for the Women's Open
team. Maria Calidonna led the pack with a PR that day, and Barbara
Britiain ran close behind with an impressive time of 19:00. Carolyn Durst
also ran a eet race, with a personal record at 19:10. It was our rst third
place win and we were happy to have Alyssa Lifrieri, Sherri Shultz, Freda
Clark, and Ilene Davis completed the team effort that day.
Also in June, Barbara Britiain again led the team in the Gay
Lesbian Pride 5 miler. and Taconic landed a ne fth place nish. It has
been an exciting and challenging opportunity to take over the role of cap
tain this year. I've had the pleasure of getting to meet new members as well
as get to know women who have been running with Taconic in the past. I'd
like to thank everyone for showing up! May the August Club Team Cham
pionship be our Tour De Force!

Fo u l We a t h e r a t Fa l mo u t h
by Roy Altman
Upon rst reserving my summer vacation on Cape Cod, I realized
that I would be there during the weekend of the Falmouth race. The 9,500
available spots sell out in three days, so I gured I'd register and see what the
i s s wa s a l l a b o u t .
Two weeks prior to my vacation, I had injured my ankle, and my
running was signicantly limited. Nevertheless, I had resolved to do the race as
a tempo run. Since I was really training for the Dutchess County Classic ve
weeks hence, I gured a seven-mile tempo run would be excellent training for
a h a l f - m a r a t h o n .
I arrived on the Cape the Friday night before the race, spending the
rst night at Hyannis, before heading out to my nal destination at Eastham.
On Saturday, I made the arduous drive down Route 28 to Falmouth to pick up
my number. The interminable one-lane road seemed longer due to the parade
of cars idly ambling down the road. Are ail New England drivers so slow, or is
this a typical case of pre-race anxiety? No reason to be anxious, I told myself,
it's just a tempo run.
Race expos always feel like coming to Mecca for me. Throngs of
runners and vendors displaying their wares. I was given two numbers, and
instructed to pin them to the front and back of my singlet. Only a geek wears
a number on the back, I thought. It was raining, and more rain was predicted for
Sunday. I hoped for the best.
I awoke early on Sunday to the sound of pouring rain. Having taken
seriously the threat of trafc jams, and after experiencing Route 28, I struck
out early. When the weather is bad, it seems that the multitude of little deci
sions one must make on race day multiply. Should I attach my car remote lock
to my shoe or the key? The remote is electronic, and may short. I opt for the
key. I stopped at a grocery store to pick up a box of Glad Garbage Bags. The
grocer smiled knowingly and wished me luck. Trafc was not that bad as I
pulled into town, parked at race headquarters, and joined the parade of garbage
bag-clad runners heading toward the busses to take us to the start. The mood on
the bus was jovial. One woman commented on the fashion statements being
made with garbage bags.
The busses arrived at Woods Hole at 8:00 AM. The race was not for
another two hours. Al l roads for three mi l es around Woods Hol e were cl osed
off (except for the busses and ofcial race vehicles), thus discouraging bandits.
Everything was extremely well organized, as I have come to expect from large
New England races, having run Boston. I found a vestibule that was not crowded
yet, and hunkered down for the long wait. One by one, other runners discov
ered my secret and soon it was packed. Yet the mood was upbeat. Runners
talking about running; trading war stories about other bad weather races. Lin
col n Hal l , ' 94 was ment i oned.
At about 9:15 the rain let up a little, so I bid farewell to my compa
triots and decided to jog and stretch a bit. Feeling a little looser, I threw out my
garbage bag and made my way to my pen. Runners were assigned pens based on
their reported lOK PR's. The "elite" pen, consisting of the rst 500 men and
175 women, was to start at 10:00. Each successive pen, consisting of approxi
mately 2,000 runners, was to start at subsequent 1-minute intervals. The
starting time was to be compensated for when determining the ofcial results.
I had a false feeling of celebrity, as 1 made my way to the "elite" pen. Thus,
despite the 9,500 participants, for me the race would consist of 675 com
petitors. As soon as I got there, the downpour began.
I huddled under a small overhang, and watched a group of lean
Kenyans warm up. I was torn between getting in a decent warm-up, and
getting soaked prematurely. Right before I was to exit my sanctuary for
some nal stride-outs, Khalid Khannouchi, the two-time winner and Ossining
resident, came over to my overhang to change into his race singlet. I
wished him luck and introduced myself as a TRR member. He returned the
w i s h e s .
I made my way about fteen rows behind the starting line, and
surveyed the fellow "elitists": grizzled veterans in Boston Marathon sin
glets, young hot-shots. Women built like birds. I began to focus on the race.
The race originated when a bunch of runners decided to race from one bar
in Woods Hole to another one in Falmouth, thus determining the odd race
distance of 7.1 miles. I had previously done the math: 45:00 (6:20 pace);
expected, even at tempo run pace; 44:00 (6:11 pace): doable, if I'm having
a good day; 43:00 (6:03 pace): unlikely, given my current health; 42:00
(5:55 pace): would be a near miracle.
The race began and we ran alongside a harbor with a picturesque
lighthouse. I imagined myself Captain of a shing boat, trying to bring her
back to port in a storm. I hit the rst mile in 6:24. Not bad, I thought. If I
pick it up a bit I might get my sub-45. The course veered inland, the terrain
became rolling hills throught the woods. 1 tried to sidestep the growing
puddles by running along the edge of the path. By mile three, I was well
below 45:00 pace. It was clear that I was running this as a race, not a
training run. That's what happens when you pin on a number.
Just past the halfway point, the course emerged from the woods
and attened out, hugging the beach. By mile ve, I was on pace for 44:00.
The rain had been pouring steadily since the start. At this point, the puddles
were well above ankle depth, and I made no attempt to sidestep them.
Runners had talked about a tough hill in the last mile, followed by a downhill
to the nish, which is demarcated by a huge American ag. I girded myself
for the nal mile. By now I had developed a "technique" for running
through puddles, and found myself passing people in the puddles.
With about a half mile to go the road curved and angled uphill.
This must be the nal hill. Lift the knees, pump the arms, up the hill. That
wasn' t so bad...sort of l i ke the north hi l l i n Central Park. The hi l l crested
and sloped to a curvy downhill. Where's the nish line? There it is...no ag
because of the rain...kick...across the line...43:13 (must've been a good
last mile)...wet handshakes all around. They lead us through the shoots,
down a long street leading to a muddy eld, where the post-race refresh
ments are being served. I keep asking "who won?" but nobody knew (I later
found out that Khannouchi was beaten by John Korir of Kenya by 2 sec
onds). We pass Bill Rogers and somebody asks "Bill, how'd you do?" "39-
something" he replies. The runners trudge along the edges of the growing
mud puddles, and I think "this is like Woodstock for runners!" (I later heard
that co-ed mud wrestling was to take place after the masses descended).
Wanting to avoid the crowds and get dry, I jogged back to my car at race
headquarters.
On the drive home I reect on the experience. Given the hassle and dis
comfort, was it worth it? Denitely, I conclude. I had the rare opportunity
to participate in the two premier races in New England in the same year. It
was a beautiful course, a great experience, and will be a lasting memory,

[NEW ENGLAND CLYDESDALE & FILLY
RUNNING FEDERATION
hy Charlie Sprauer
On Saturday, the 31 st of July Pete Colaizzo and myself went to
Somerville, Mass, for a 5 mile run. This was an unusual race in two
respects. First, a friend of ours, Larry, was getting married at the race
itself, and it also was a "CLYDESDALE" race which meant you had
to weigh at least 190 pounds to be eligible,
Upon arrival (the yard in back of a bar which was a Red Sox den)
there was scale under a tent where you had to be weighed in. Any
one just making the limit was booed, while the heavier one was, the
louder the cheers. They also had a large thermometer chart and this
was a "tonnage" barometer. Anytime they reached a ton of weight,
they marked the thermometer. They reached a little over 10 tons, the
record was 13 and a half. Phil, another friend who came up for the
ceremony, weighed only 188 and was ineligible. He drank 2 quarts of
water but they wouldn't weigh him again. He ran as ineligible for an
a w a r d .
Pete entered to run with the groom and do a report for the
Poughkeepsie Journal, but they painted a red "S" on his shoulder,
the scarlet "S" for '\skinny \ Well, the bride and groom marched
down the street to the wedding march song and we accompanied
with kazoos that were handed out.A member of the Somerville Run
ners' Club had a permit for one day and performed the ceremony.
The race started at 4:19 P.M. Why? Because they said 4:18 was
too early and 4:20 was too late. The preacher running in his purple
top hat and tuxedo jacket lled out the whole Alice in Wonderland
Scenario. Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that there were 3 bars
along the way, and you had to stop at each one and drink a beer and
consume a hot dog before continuing. (Don't try this at home) All
this on a 95 degree day. 1 helped out. 1 had a Taconic T-shirt in the
car and called out the approaching runners to the announcer at the
nish line. We are ubiquitous!
The winning time was 32 minutes in change! Not bad at all. And
the last runner to come in received a huge ovation, he was a petite
335 pounds! If you live long enough you'll see everything. I found
this to be a very fun lled and jolly event.

RECORD NUMBERS COMPETE I N 1999
B I A T H L O N
by Bill Foley and Joe Jeraci
Seventeen year old Danielle Weiss won
f or t he t hi r d t i me i n a r ow and John
Al banese ret urned t o t he wi nners ci rcl e
i n t he 1999 Taconi c Bi at hl on. Joanne
Geisi, improving from third in 1998 and
Lincoln Taylor, nished second. These
four nished just as they did in 1997.
While the top echelon was the same, the race had the most entrants
and competitors in many years, sported a longer swim and distrib
uted awards only a cookie hater could argue about. One participant
was so taken with the swim he attempted it again, only to be turned
away by the lifeguards!
As usual, our volunteers did an outstanding job of making all
aspects of the race run smoothly. We can't thank each volunteer
individually for fear of leaving someone out, but we know who was
there and what thei r contri buti on meant to us and the success of
t he r ace.
This year we had some wonderful sponsors, primarily Coach
Limo and Jeraci Foods, whose generous contibutions help to con
tinue this great race's tradition. Chase Manhattan Bank, Mrs. Green's
Health Food Store and Margie Jeraci representing Mary Kay Cos
metics contributed gift certicates and goodie bags items. Please
remember without our sponsors support we would not be able to
enjoy many of our races. Please patronize our sponsors and let
them know how you heard of them.
Congratulations to this year's winners. We hope all of our win
ners enjoyed the taste of victory, If you were one of the fortunate
prize earners, you'd have to agree the awards were much tastier this
y e a r .
See you next year!

4 nutritional strategies to help you run your best
by Scott Fisher^ M.S.y R.D
Are you looking to improve upon your 5K best or maybe increase your
mileage in preparation for a Fall marathon? Maybe instead of focusing on
your training program, you should be paying a bit more attention to your
nutrition plan. It's been clear to exercise physiologists and sports nutrition
ists for years that diet has a profound impact on physical performance. To
put it simply, if you're not properly fueled up, your performance is going
to be compromised. Just what does that mean to a runner? Well, it means
that by employing some simple nutritional strategies, you may experience
some signicant improvements in your speed, endurance, and even recov
ery times after tough workouts and races. Consider trying the following
strategies.
1. Car bo l oad. . . al l t he t i me!
Without question, carbohydrate is the most important fuel for runners
whether we run fast or slow, short or long. Despite this fact, many of us fail
to consistently consume an adequate intake of carbohydrate choosing only
to do so the night before an important race. Without adequate carbohydrate
stored in your muscles and liver as glucose and glycogen, not only will your
endurance capacity be diminished but also your ability to run fast at dis
tances of 5K and up.
To ensure that you're properly fueled up with carbohydrate, roughly two-
thirds of the calories you consume on a daily basis should come from carbs.
Fortunately, most foods high in carbohydrate and low in fat are easily
digestible and readily metabolized for quick energy. For best results, center
each meal around high-carbo foods and additionally consume a small, high
carbo meal or snack of 300-500 calories, two to four hours prior to your run.
Best choices for high-carbohydrate foods
Pasta, rice, breads, cereals, grains
Fruits, Vegetables
Energy bars like PowerBar (make sure you read the labels of other
energy bars...some are low in carbohydrate and much higher in fat
and protein)
Skim milk and low-fat yogurt
It's interesting to note that for every gram of carbohydrate your body stores
as glycogen, you also store three grams of water. So when you're truly
carbo loaded, it's not uncommon to feel a bit heavy and even bloated,
especially if you're tapering down for a big race and aren't running as much
as you normally would. But don't worry, all that water you've stored will
also benet you when you run.
2 . Dr i n k l i k e a s h
The importance of hydration is another performance factor that many run
ners underemphasize. A uid loss of as little as 2% body weight can impair
performance and put you at risk for a myriad of heat-related disorders.
That's only 3 pounds of uid loss for a 150 pound runner! It's also
important to keep in mind that dehydration is not only an issue in warm
weather, but is also quite prevalent in cooler temperatures when many
runners let their guard down. When your body's uid level is low, your
heart works harder to pump blood and keep you cool. The consequence is
that you are either forced to slow down or suffer more to maintain your
pace.
The good news is that dehydration is easy to prevent. Just make sure that
you're well hydrated prior to your run. Here's how.
In the two hour prior to your run, drink 16-20 ounces (2-214 cups) of water
or a sports drink. Anything more is likely to be excreted out in the
ur i ne.
Additionally, drink another 4-8 ounces of fluid in the 10 minutes just prior
to your run.
A good measure of your hydration status is the color of your urine. If it is
clear or very pale yellow, your tank is full. If it's dark yellow or
orange, keep drinking!
There's been a good deal of recent research on a nutritional supplement that
may help runners and other endurance athletes to stay hydrated, especially
in events lasting longer than an hour. The supplement is gylcerol. The
benet of glycerol is that when consumed, it acts veiy much like a sponge
helping athletes to superhydrate. A number of well-controlled studies have
demonstrated that with glycerol, athletes can perform at higher intensity
levels for longer durations. The supplement Is now commercially available
as a full-strength liquid or as part of a sports drink. The full strength
product needs to be diluted with water or sports drink. The amount of
glycerol consumed, typically in the two hours before an event, is depen
dent upon your body weight.
While glycerol shows promise as a helpful supplement for runners, espe
cially marathoners, exercise a bit of caution if you plan to give it a try.
Always experiment during a training run before using it for in important
race. Some who use the product have experienced a bit of gastrointestinal
di st ress or a mi l d headache.
3. Dr i nk and Eat on t he r un
While proper hydration and carbo loading are important prior to running,
you may further aid your efforts by continuing to provide your body with
uid and carbohydrate during a run. While this strategy may be unneces
sary for runs lasting less than 60 minutes, it could pay big performance
dividends for longer workouts or races.
Even a well-hydrated runner can lose up to two liters of uid through
sweating for every hour of exercise. At that rate, your uid reserves can
become quickly depleted and your running performance can start to suffer.
To compensate for uid loss thought sweat, shoot to drink up to 8-10
ounces of uid every 15 minutes during the run. That's about all your body
can absorb during exercise and drinking any more than that may lead to an
upset stomach. As always, plain old water is never a bad choice of uid,
but a sports drink may be even better. Popular sports drinks like Gatorade
are formulated to be rapidly absorbed during exercise, even faster than plain
water, and also provide the added benet of small amounts of carbohydrate
and electrolytes.
With the advent of sports gels like PowerGel and GU, eating on the run has
never been easier. Again, these products may not do much for you unless
you're running for longer than an hour. However, during long runs, they
provide a quick source of carbohydrate calories, usually about 100 calories
per gel. That may not sound like a lot considering you bum more than that
in a single mile, but taking in one to two gels per hour during a long run can
really spare your own carbohydrate stores and leave you feeling strong in
the end. There are two things to be cautious of when using energy gels.
First, they are typically concentrated sugar and should be washed down
with about 8 ounces of uid when taken to prevent stomach distress.
Secondly, some gels contain caffeine and ginseng and should be avoided if
you have a particular sensitivity to either.
4. Try a little protein with your carbohydrate for a speedy recovery
The rst three strategies discussed should help you to get through your run
feeling your best. This one should help you recover faster and feel fresher
for your next workout. Again, the focus is on consuming carbohydrate, this
time to replenish what you used on your run. Research has demonstrated
that your body is most efcient at storing carbohydrate in the two hours
immediately after a workout. Wait any longer than that and you diminish
the amount of glycogen you can pack away.
Recent research has also discovered that when you consume a bit of protein
along with carbohydrate, you further enhance your body's ability to store
glycogen. The ideal ratio of carbohydrate to protein seems to be about 4:1.
This can be achieved very simply by drinking a glass of skim milk along
with your pasta or fruit salad. You could also add a bit of high-quality
protein to your carbo-reloading by adding some low-fat yogurt or a few
ounces of chicken breast, lean red meat, or sh.
