Dear RunMinnesota Readers, MDRA is definitely this state’s most dominant and visible running club. This was again reinforced on a recent weekend morning run around the Chain of Lakes. As my girlfriend and I ran, I first pointed out someone with their bright, red MDRA singlet. I stated, ‘That must be an MDRA member.’ And for the next few hours, we spotted no less than 20 more runners wearing the same or similar red MDRA singlets. And, undoubtedly, there were countless other MDRA members who just happened to not be sporting their MDRA garb. It made me think that MDRA had control of the lakes in check. And, naturally, I recognized many members from race events and the Annual Party. In case you haven’t checked yet, MDRA’s website, www.runmdra.org, has been revamped. As always, there are still all the interesting slide shows, current MDRA programs, race and event information and other assorted running related content. But now there is also more regional and national running news. Additionally, this magazine is

online for members to access. In the last issue, RunMinnesota’s historian, Patrick O’Regan, wrote about the incredible female running pioneer, Val Rogosheske. In this issue, he has spotlighted Phil Rogosheske, the spouse of Val Rogosheske. They are definitely an interesting and very talented couple as you’ll further discover. Regular contributing author, Mackenzie Lobby, has written a product review specifically with the runner in mind. In the product review, she educates us about some products that will help us avoid injury and increase overall strength. Being this close to the Twin Cities Marathon, perhaps there are a few people who may need one or more of these items at the present. And speaking of the Twin Cities Marathon being so close, you’ll want to read Chad Austin’s article discussing tips on being a spectator at a running race. This way, if you have friends or family members coming to watch, or if you will be a spectator yourself, you will be able to get the most out of race day or advise others as to how to best enjoy the day. Again, I hope you enjoy reading this issue, and I look forward to hearing from you. Please let me know what you liked, what you didn’t and what you’d like to see in future issues.

In Memoriam by Bill Knight

The MDRA annual, Running Minnesota,

In 2007 Diane Goulett and her daughter Betsy Gomoll participated in a “memory walk” for people with Alzheimer's.

Diane Goulett, 1929-2009 Diane Goulett, a long time MDRA member who was also a skier, swimmer and world traveler, died August 3, 2009. She was 80. Goulett took up running when she was 49 years old and joined the Minnehaha Marathoners Running Club. Two years later, she finished the first of her 10 Grandma’s Marathons. She also finished five Twin Cities Marathons and one New York City Marathon. In 1999, she was Minnesota Runner of the Year for women 65 to 69 and later named a Minnesota Running Legend by the Active Life and Running Club. Goulett, who is remembered for the impact she had on the lives of other runners, struggled with Alzheimer’s in her later years. Shortly after her death, Nancy Carlson, a friend from her running club, was at Lake Harriet and recalls hearing some women running behind her. “I caught enough words to realize they were talking about Diane,” Carlson said. “One of them was telling the other two, ‘and she ran marathons and was a biker. She was amazing.’” Carlson added, “This woman’s voice was so full of awe and enthusiasm as she told her friends about Diane.” RM

Welcome to “Running in Minnesota,”

RunMinnesota’s newest column. “Running in Minnesota” will be written by you, and runners like you, who run in Minnesota. Hearing from runners about why they run, what got them started running and why they have not stopped running is always so inspiring, no matter the reason. And, to be sure, some of us have a bias toward Minnesota runners. Minnesota runners are a different breed in all the best ways. And, the fact of the matter is that I have never met a Minnesota runner that I didn’t enjoy. It’s true. It’s that intangible “something extra” we all have, unlike anywhere else in the country. I used to think the “something extra” was the strength born from our pioneering ancestors, who most certainly ran, oftentimes behind oxen or while chasing after nine or 10 children or while figuring out where the next meal would come from. I also used to think that Minnesota runners get that “something extra” from the most usual suspect: the weather. Surely the six to nine months of cold Minnesota weather means we get used to hurrying to get from place to place. Racing from our cars into the stores or homes is what we are raised to do. Why not pin on a number and get a t-shirt for doing what comes naturally? Over the years, I have been lucky to be at the starting line of quite a few marathons, half marathons, 5Ks and 10Ks. And I’ve always tried to take a moment to forget about the race in front of me in order to enjoy the moment of being surrounded by people who love to run. It was at one of those road races when it dawned on me what it is I so enjoy about Minnesota runners: we don’t have to run. We never had to start. And what is so wonderfully unique and enjoyable about Minnesota runners is that sometimes it doesn’t even make sense for us to run. But we do it, anyway. So, here’s to all of us who run in Minnesota. Here’s to all the miles we have traveled and the paths we have discovered, on the roads and within ourselves. Here’s to the hours and days we have spent, and will spend, running, learning and growing, thinking and dreaming, as we run. And we do it because we want to. Not because we have to. And we do it when it doesn’t make sense and when it makes all the sense in the world. On behalf of the MDRA Board of Directors and members like you, we look forward to reading your running stories. Tell us why it is you run in Minnesota? What made you start? Why do you still look forward to your runs? What is your most memorable run? What is your best running memory so far? What are your running goals? What is your best example of running, when it didn’t make sense to run? What is your best memory of when it made perfect sense to run? Please send your stories to Heidi Keller Miler at heidi@runmdra.org. I’ll see you at the starting line. Until then, enjoy your runs. RM

Every runner

should have a veritable running medicine cabinet with a few “extras” that serve to encourage injury prevention and overall strength. Running is a great workout, which is why runners tend to be particularly guilty of neglecting to do the extra work. In this issue’s product review, we looked at some products that will help you avoid injury and increase overall strength. From core exercises to self-massage, stocking your running medicine cabinet with a few of these accessories will help you go that extra mile, and then some.

The Running Medicine Cabinet

Extras for injury prevention and overall strength by Mackenzie Lobby

The “Stick”

The Stick (www.thestick.com)

If you haven’t gotten your hands on The Stick yet, go to your nearest specialty running store and give it a whirl. This “toothbrush for your muscles” serves as a self-massage device comprised of a stick with handles on both ends and spindles in between. By running the spindles over your leg muscles, you receive a nice, gentle stretch, as well as assist the lactic acid dispersal process. Depending on your needs, The Marathon Stick or The Sprinter Stick will appeal. The Marathon Stick is more flexible and is specially designed to work on lean muscle tissue. The Sprinter Stick is a bit more rigid and will really allow you to dig deep into tight muscles. The Stick is a great accessory for both injury prevention and recovery.

Barefoot Yoga Environmental Yoga Mat (www.barefootyoga.com)

This non-slip yoga mat is great to throw down on a hard surface or a carpet. Use it for yoga or simply for a post-run core routine. No more bruising your tailbone on the hardwood floor or brandishing rug burns from the carpet. What’s more, this yoga mat is made of PER (Polymer Environmental Resin), a nontoxic material, better for both you and the environment. The mat comes in three lengths and two thicknesses. The thicker mat is recommended if you are planning on doing core work on a hard surface. Both yoga and regular core workouts will make you a stronger, healthier runner. Barefoot Yoga Mat

Trigger Point Foot & Leg Kit

SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2009

Trigger Point Foot and Lower Leg Kit (www.tptherapy.com)

If you have a history of issues with your feet and lower legs, the Trigger Point Kit may provide relief. Running takes a toll on your body and your overall biomechanics. Since your feet are directly pounding the pavement, it'’s important to take care of them. Self-massage is an optimal means through which to do that. Included in the Trigger Point Kit are two TP Massage balls, the Baller Block and the Footballer, all to be used for massage of the calf and soleus region. Along with this comes a DVD that instructs you on the many uses of the kit. Whether it is chronic pain or the occasional twinge, maintenance massage will help you stay up and running.

Powerhouse Hit the Deck Cards Gaiam Toning Ball

Gaiam Toning Ball Workout Kit (www.gaiam.com)

The toning ball, oftentimes referred to as a medicine ball, will assist in increasing strength, balance and overall power. The four pound Gaiam ball is accompanied by a 35 minute workout DVD that will help you isolate and train a number of muscle groups. A stronger core equals a stronger runner. Fitting in a core workout three to four days a week will do wonders for your running and your ability to avoid injury. While the DVD gives some good suggestions, you can find many more exercises to do with the medicine ball online.

Powerhouse Hit the Deck (www.powerhousehitthedeck.com)

From local fitness expert and duathlete, Jenny Evans, comes Powerhouse Hit the Deck. Included are a deck of 30 cards, each with a different exercise, and a timer that beeps when its time to move on to the next card. The cards include instructions for exercises such as lunges, burpees and squat jumps. This workout is completely customizable, because it allows you to set the timer to any length, as well as gives you the option to mix and match the cards if you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to do the entire deck. Incorporating both strength and cardio, this serves as a great second workout that will get you sweating and strengthening muscle groups that are forgotten by many runners. RM

The Kayaker Phil Rogosheske by Patrick O’Regan Top notch athletes are different than you and me. Mentally, as well as physically, different. Looking back, one can see that from an early age Phil Rogosheske was a gifted athlete. The seeds of what would later grow into Olympic athleticism were evident: great physical talent, self confidence, a capacity to endure incredibly intense workouts and an innovative approach to training. But who could have predicted he’d be an Olympian? Even more recondite, who could have guessed what his sport would be? The future Olympic kayaker wasn’t paddling a kayak or doing anything, in fact, to demon-

attended, football was something of a religion. Not surprisingly, he said, “I wanted to play football at Tech in the worst way.” He did play football as quarterback, and he was good at it. The football teams were outstanding: undefeated in Phil’s senior year and ranked third in the state. In addition to football, Phil played basketball, baseball and track and field. He was the last guy at Tech to compete in both track and field and baseball. Phil was naturally quick and explosive. Though he had good stamina and loved to run, pushing himself hard on the long runs during the summer in preparation for the football season, he didn’t run away from the other kids. Rather, he was to leave his mark in high school with his explosiveness in the high jump. Making steady improvement through the years, Phil set the school record in his senior

the high jump. “I was a running high jumper,” he said. “After the first of two miles, I would do a series of pop-ups.” Something like doing a high jump: four steps and jump as high as you can. “Doing this until I couldn’t do another one. Then run again.” After that, typically he would do several sets of 100 squat jumps. Interestingly, he would always jump at his best on the day of the meet. The first hint that Phil might become an athlete with great stamina came after college. For three years, he coached the track and field and cross country teams at his high school alma mater. Wanting to learn something about what the kids were experiencing on long runs, he began to run long distances himself. That changed things. He said, “Though I hadn’t done it before, I made a decision at that point that I wanted to be an aerobic athlete.” He would, in fact, be a good runner, running sub six minute miles for the 10K. But this, of course, was not Olympic caliber. The draft loomed, and with it the Vietnam War. Phil enlisted in the Army, became an officer and was assigned to the Engineering School at Ft. Belvoir, Virginia. This is where the story gets a little mysterious. “I went into the Army,” Phil said, “with the

strate great stamina in high school. Or even college. Here’s the story. Phil grew up in St. Cloud, Minnesota, his lifelong home town. His parents, from Sauk Rapids, Minnesota, were athletic. His dad had been on the University of Minnesota swimming team and his mother had excelled at volleyball, which, as Phil pointed out, was the only thing women could do in those days. They encouraged their three boys and two girls to participate in sports. St. Cloud was rife with opportunities for kids to play organized sports, and Phil engaged in many of them. Besides that, Phil recalled, his dad spent a lot of time playing with his kids. At St. Cloud Tech High School, where Phil

year by leaping 6’2”. Receiving a scholarship, but without a stipend, Phil attended Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota. The coaches wanted him to play football and basketball. He did the high jump in track as well. He would play guard on the basketball team for four years and play football for one year. And after a foot injury, he was told to drop one sport. But he excelled in the high jump. In his senior year, making steady improvement, he jumped 6’ 8_”. It is a school record that still stands (it’s been tied) and was for several years the best jump ever by a Minnesotan. Phil read books on training and technique and devised his own approach to training for

express purpose of making an Olympic team.” But what was the sport to be? Forget about the high jump. Merely terrific isn’t good enough for the Olympics. Phil pointed out that he was a fitness star in training, scoring the maximum on the PT test. This is commendable, but hardly the stuff of a future Olympian. In a stroke of luck straight from the pages of a novel, Ft. Belvoir had the prep school for prospective West Point cadets. Phil applied for a job teaching English and coaching at the prep school and got the assignment. Every year, as it happened, the students and faculty visited West Point. As Phil said, “I had been looking around for a sport [in which to make the Olympics].” He

saw the rowing boats at West Point, but something about the greasy oar locks turned him aside. He also saw the small kayaks that guys would hoist on their shoulders when they came out of the water. That did it. Back at the prep school, Phil called every boat club in the area. Tellingly, he picked the Potomac Boat Club, because they told him to show up the next morning, not several days later or on the weekend. It was a struggle. Racing kayaks are very tippy. You have to develop balance and learn to feather the water to stay up. “I got to know every rock in the Potomac River,” Phil recalled. But he secured a more stable boat, learned balance, soon returned to the racing boat and rode in the wakes of the guys in front of him, though two of the guys in the club were among the top 10 kayakers in the country. “They’d blow me away at the end [of a hard paddle],” Phil said, “but pretty soon I could stay with them, and pretty soon I was beating them. It got to the point where they knew they were done for in the K-1 [one man kayak],” Phil said. How did he know he could be that good? “I had the confidence,” Phil said. “But, in retrospect, it was just blind determination.” Phil’s wife, Val, commented on his combination of confidence and a lot of hard work to go with it. “It’s a magical combination that works in any sport,” she said. “He gets clobbered at first, but goes on, just like a bulldog.” The world is full of bulldogs, but there are very few Olympians. In 1970, the K-4 (four man kayak: John VanDyke, Jerry Welbourne, Phil and Steve Kelly) won the North American Championship. As members of the North American Team, they won a trip to Europe to train for a year. Part of that time, they paddled with the Swedish team, then the best team in the world. Phil took careful notes of everything they did. And, thereafter, the team not having a coach, he planned the training routines. Training for the kayak is brutal. “Before I had the balance,” Phil said, “I ran a lot to maintain my max VO2.” His was 71, the same as marathoner, Frank Shorter. But the tough stuff was on the water. Like the Swedes, they did a lot of short, intense repeats: 10 by three minutes, four by 10 minutes and 90 by 15 seconds, on and off. One tough workout was to go as hard as possible for one minute, rest for a few seconds and repeat until you had utterly shattered yourself. The training included a lot of running, too. In 1972, the K-4 boat won the Olympic

Trials. They were headed for the Games. Waiting in the tunnel to march into the Olympic stadium in Munich, the Americans in their flamboyant uniforms of white dress hats with a red band, white sport coats, blue shirts, red, white and blue ties and white shoes, Phil happened to be standing near distance star, Steve Prefontaine. Each athlete had been given a camera. He took Prefontaine’s photo. “This standing around puts lead in your legs,” Prefontaine said. On the march into the stadium, Phil was in the same row as University of Minnesota and Olympic coach, Roy Griak. Roy said to him, “Not bad for a couple of country bumpkins, hah?” The kayaking competition was at the end of the Games. Phil spent a lot of time working out in the stadium with the track and field team. He recalled getting behind Prefontaine and running after him. Going past Coach Griak, smiling at him, he remembered seeing the coach shake his head. Likely out of some amused exasperation. The K-4 boat reached the semi-finals and finished fourteenth of 28. It was the best finish to that point by an American kayak in Olympic competition. It might be mentioned that this was the era when many of the performances of the Russians, who had the most medals in the Games, the East Germans, who were third in total medals, and Eastern Europeans, in general, were, at best, suspect. The athletes weren’t tested for drugs. During the competition, Phil distinctly recalled seeing a Romanian kayaker pop a white pill in his mouth just before his race. Likely, it was a stimulant, and not an aspirin. But, Phil said, “We just didn’t talk about it. We were there for the competition.” This was the Munich Games. Phil recalled vividly seeing guys in ski masks on the balcony of the building next to his in the village. But life went on as normal for the athletes during the standoff. Like most of the other athletes, he wanted the Games to continue. Now married to Val, who worked full time to support him, between the Munich and Montreal Olympics, Phil trained full time as a kayaker. It should be mentioned that kayaking at the time was pure sport. The American Canoe Association, the governing body for kayaking in the U.S., forbade athletes from taking money under any guise. The K-4 boat raced many times during the summer seasons, and, in four years, was never beaten. One year, Phil and Bruce Barton in the

K-2 boat were seventh in the World Championships. In 1973, in the National Championships, Phil won six of the seven events in the kayak competition: three at K-1, one at K-2 and two at K-4. In six years on the National Kayaking Team, he would win 14 national championships. During this time, the Potomac Boat Club had the services of a scrawny kid with a club foot who toted the paddles to and from the boat houses. That was Greg Barton, Bruce’s younger brother. He would later become the greatest flatwater kayaker in U.S. history. In a training camp in Florida, leading up to the Montreal Games, just three weeks before the Trials, Phil tore a muscle from a rib, taking him off the water in his training. To allow that the others in the K-4 boat could get on with the pre-Olympic competition, Phil gave up his seat in the boat. At the Trials, he tried to make the team in the K-1 10,000 meter race. In the best two-of-three competition, he lost in the third race by a boat length. “I was there,” Val said. “I had never seen him lose. I was worried [about how he’d take it]. But this guy. He really did it for the sheer joy of the sport. He said, ‘Wow, that was really close, wasn’t it?’” “I didn’t have as much invested as other people,” Phil said. “I had a job waiting for me.” Not long after Montreal, Phil incurred a shoulder injury that ended his kayaking career. Largely, he turned his attention to family. He and Val have daughters, Abby and Allie, and a teaching career. As a master athlete, Phil determined to get into the top five nationally in a number of sports. He did in four of them so far: mountain biking, swimming (200 meter butterfly), nordic skiing (winning the National 30K), race walking. Currently, he trains aerobically by race walking, swimming and running. For strength training, he does a series of body assisted exercises in his back yard. Phil may try the high jump at the National Masters this summer. He’ll do the 5K and 10K race walks for sure. “I’m going to try to crack the top three in one of those events,” he said.

ning and racing as those who run with both their ears and eyes, and attentive minds, wide open to all the sounds, voices and cheers around them. I offer below a list of consequences and risks of those who wear PMDs during running events: • missing important pre-race announcements

• missing warnings about course safety offered by course marshals and police, and even fellow athletes and spectators, about changing conditions and circumstances, such as dangers ahead • missing motivational cheers from spectators, encouraging words from fellow athletes and the hearing of one’s name announced by race announcers • missing music and sometimes even live musicians along the course

What Are You Missing?

• missing the sounds of nature • missing the ever present friendly, helpful, chatter amongst runners • missing course marshals’ directions to the correct finish line or finishers’ chute

I find that runners who wear Personal Music Devices (PMD), compared to athletes who do not use a PMD during a road race: • enjoy their running and road racing experiences less than they would if they could hear clearly and attentively to all the natural sounds, cheers and announcements • are less focused on their moment-bymoment performance and, therefore, slower • are less safe • frequently impede the safe progress and performance of others • increase demands on road race volunteers • increase road race management costs and liability risks

Every runner has the right to wear headgear, headphones or ear buds to help them with their running. Sports psychologists report that many novice exercisers initially improve their adherence to exercise by listening to music. The music distracts the novice exerciser from what may initially be unpleasant feelings they experience with exercise.Yet, we also have responsibilities, especially when we go out in public, and especially in the crowded world of road races. Interestingly, sports psychologists also report that experienced exercisers improve their athletic performances and exercise experiences when they do not tune into PMDs. This is because they tune into the monitoring of both internal feelings and external challenges to performance.I’ve edited thousands of race photos. And I see confirmation in racers’ faces that headphone wearing runners are not nearly as happily engaged in all the experiences of run-

• missing the finish line altogether Also, PMD use in public may also communicate other unintended, or even intended, messages: • I’m a novice runner • I’m dependent on distraction from running by hearing music • I don’t want anyone to talk to me • I’m not interested in anyone else or even others’ safety But, if you insist that you just can’t run a road race without your headset, timely learn to remove the earbuds from your PMDs in the following three situations: • before the race to listen to pre-race announcements • along critical points on the course, such as when you see a course marshal or police officer • as you approach the finish line My hope is that more runners, once dependent on PMDs, will discover the joy of running and racing outdoors without PMDs. In this way, they will never have to finish a race wondering, “What did I miss?” RM

Race Recap

“Du”ing it in Minneapolis: Inaugural duathlon a hit for runners and bikers by Amy Leger

PHOTO BY WAYNE KRYDUBA

Team Ortho Foundation organized three training sessions for new duathletes, which got people excited. But the Du was also open to racers with different styles of bikes. “It was so exciting to see runners and cyclists take on this new challenge. Beginning with our training and then to watch them a few weeks later cross the finish line. There are no words to describe the pride I have in each and every one of these athletes,” Larson said. There were also two other kinds of races on the day of the duathlon: an individual bike time trial and a 5K run. Amongst all of these events and the different categories, 210 awards were given to top finishers.

You can now call yourself a Duathlete

A rare, crisp morning along the Mississippi River in downtown Minneapolis greeted approximately 1,000 athletes arriving for the Inaugural Minneapolis Duathlon and Bike Time Trial, on August 30, 2009. Even before the sun began to rise over the river, racers were showing up, picking out their spot in the transition area, ready for some fun, exercise and maybe a little competition. The weather couldn’t have been any more perfect for these athletes who wanted to become duathletes. The Adventure of the Minneapolis Duathlon The race began with a 5K run along West River Road, across the River onto Boom and Nicollet Islands and back to the transition area. The 18 mile bike route went south with the Mississippi River along a tree-lined West River Road. The road was closed for the race from West Broadway nine miles south to the road’s turnaround. When the racers returned from the bike, they did the same 5K run again. “It was a beautiful route,” participant Kelly White said. She, her husband and 13-year-old son drove in from Wisconsin to race in the duathlon as a relay team.

The duathlon for every BODY Team Ortho Foundation prides itself on organizing amateur events like the Minneapolis Duathlon and the Minneapolis Marathon (Monster and Polar Dashes also) to keep people active. Ultimately that activity promotes strong bone, muscular and skeletal health. This is why Team Ortho Foundation decided to organize a race that would give a first-timer the chance to compete in a duathlon without feeling intimidated or not good enough. “I really wanted to see new athletes try a duathlon for the first time,” said John Larson, Team Ortho Executive Director.

SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2009

First-timers signed up for the Minneapolis Duathlon in droves; including Kristina Koznick, a Minnesota-native who has been on the U.S. Olympic Ski Team three times, the White family, who did the duathlon as a relay, and Gary Smisek, a 62-year-old runner who wanted to celebrate his birthday with his first duathlon. Kristina Koznick: The former Olympian says she was talked into the race by a friend. Kristina has done a lot of cross training to prepare for skiing events, but had never done a duathlon before. Kristina finished without a problem saying she had an “absolute blast.” “There were people of all shapes, sizes, fitness levels. What a cool event.” Kelly, Rob and Peter White: Kelly started running in August of 2008. After doing a triathlon and a half marathon, she talked her husband into doing the Minneapolis Duathlon as a family. “I thought it would be a great race for Rob, Peter and I to do together,” Kelly explained. After the race, Kelly and her husband, Rob, described doing the family relay as a bonding experience. “It’s kind of cool that the family is now getting into racing and exercising,” Kelly said. Gary Smisek: Gary turned 62 on the day of the Minneapolis Duathlon and he says he wouldn’t have had his birthday any other way. Gary started competing in running races in 2000. Two years ago, he hit a rough patch with a minor stroke. He has now recovered and feels great. After crossing the finish line at the duathlon, Gary exclaimed, “It was the best day of my life.” He decided to go with a slow and steady pace for the whole event, and he said it worked. Gary said he never walked and he “increased his speed in his last 5K.” Gary says he wants to be back for the duathlon each year. Even when he turns 82.

2010 Duathlon date is set Next year’s Minneapolis Duathlon is already open for registration. The date is August 29, 2010. You can register at www.teamortho.us RM

Minnesota Distance Running Association

Como Park Relays, and Bob Lindsey volunteered to help out there. Our membership total continues to drop. The website is much better, with several excellent features including RunMinnesota online. Committee Reports:

June Board of Directors Meeting June 8, 2009

Members Present: Kathy Benhardus, Debbie Bohmann, Norm Champ, Darrell Christensen, Colin Farbotko, Mike Iserman, Bob Lindsey, Robert Lundquist, Mike Nawrocki, Lori Anne Peterson, Lisa Marie Radzak, Kirk Walztoni, Melissa Wieczorek, Kevin Wojchik Guests Present: Heidi Keller Miler, office manager Members Absent: Maureen Kennedy, Bill Knight, Rick Recker Secretary’s Report: Norm Champ asked for a revision of the May minutes. Kevin Wojchik moved and Darrell Christensen seconded the acceptance of the May minutes as amended. The motion carried. Treasurer’s Report: Lori Peterson reported that we are ahead of budget $5,319.84 compared to last year at this time. Total income was ahead of budget $4,969.98 and expenses are below budget $336.19. The total liabilities and equity as on May 31, 2009 are $23,173.62. Receipts in May totaled $11,379.65. Office Manager’s Report: Heidi reported that the Rochester Track Club has asked for our mailing list for the Rochester Half Marathon. The board approved that request. The Minneapolis Marathon Expo was well attended and definitely worth doing. We will try for a better location next year. There will be a series of races for Cindy Brochman called “Rock for Broc” on Tuesday, June 30, 2009 at Macalester College in St. Paul at 6:00 p.m. Chris Fuller of TSL and Mary Anderson are helping out with this event. Mike Iserman made a motion for MDRA to donate $250.00 toward the fund. Melissa Wieczorek seconded, and the motion carried. The website is close to being ready to go. It should go live this week. Kirk suggested that we keep it up to date with anything that is happening in MDRA, perhaps a special section for members only. Committee Reports: Advocacy Committee: No new business. Club Administration: No new business. Programs Committee: The spring running classes have all ended. The fall marathon class with coaches Marty Humphrey and Mike Nawrocki will be starting on June 23. Debbie Bohmann is heading up a 10 Mile Training Program which will start on July 22. These classes will be promoted on the website and in the magazine. Promotions Committee: A woman who lives on the Victory 10K course would like to see the neighborhood better informed. There is some interest in getting the neighbor-

hood more involved. We are on Facebook now, so check it out. The volunteer roster for Grandma's Expo booth is filled. Publications Committee: The July issue of RunMinnesota will be out in mid July. This issue is always a bit late since we wait for Grandma's results. Race Committee: Two state age group records were set at the Mississippi 10 Mile. There are 79 runners in the Grand Prix with 5 races to go. Upcoming MDRA races are the Minnehaha Fun Runs and the Como Relays. There will be a meeting regarding the City of Lakes in two weeks. USATF Report: Melissa reported that the USATF North Regional Championships and the USATF-MN open and masters outdoor track and field championships were held June 7 & 8 at Hamline. On July 10 and 11 the national track championships will be held at the Central Park track in New York City.

Advocacy Committee: Bob Lindsey and Lisa Radzak met to decide on the goals and purpose of this committee. They are looking for ways to learn what causes MDRA needs to advocate. They are thinking of emailing some other running groups to find out their concerns. One big issue is the number of race directors who do not turn in complete and/or accurate race results to the MN Running Data Center. It makes it very difficult to compile points for Runner of the Year, state records, USATF teams, and Grand Prix runners. One concept would be to make up a list of best practices and either write them up as an article in RunMinnesota or send it to race directors. Club Administration: No new business. Programs Committee: Mike Nawrocki reported that the fall marathon training class is going well. The TC 10 mile training class is starting soon, though registration has been slow. Possibly people are waiting for the lottery to close. Promotions Committee: Grandma's Expo was slow. We didn't sign up as many people as usual, though we always get a bump in online membership applications after an expo. Heidi has plans to put together a new banner back drop to use at races and expos to promote MDRA. This will be given to us free in exchange for an ad in RunMinnesota. Publications Committee: The July issue of RunMinnesota should be in the mail late in the week of July 13th.

There will be a USATF level one coaching school at Stillwater High School on June 22 and 23. It will take 22 hours.

Race Committee: The race committee did not meet in July. The Minnehaha Fun Runs continue to be well attended. The Como Relays will start in August.

New Business: No new business. Old Business: No old business.

USATF Report: Melissa Wieczorek reported that the USATF annual meeting will be at Broadway Pizza at 6:30 p.m. on September 13th. Chad Austin is leading the way to bring back the Minnesota Runners Yearbook. The most recent of the USATF team circuit races was Grandma's Marathon, with 30 teams competing. There are four more races for the team circuit, Stillwater 10 mile on July 25th, Hennepin Lakes Classic 5K on August 2nd, MDRA 15K on August 9th, and City of Lakes 25K on September 13th. There will be a meeting next month to discuss the cross country team circuit.

Meeting adjourned.

SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2009

Spectator’s Guide by Chad Austin Fall is right around the corner. As a runner, that means two things to me: cross country season and fall marathons. We put in a lot of time and effort training for these types of races. And there’s no doubt that a lot is written about how to get the most out of ourselves on race day. But, what about our friends and family members that will be out there cheering for us? We want them to get the most out of race day, too, rather than being bored to tears watching some running race. Believe it or not, running can be spectator friendly, especially if you follow these tips. The first step to spectating actually should take place before race day. You need to determine how active you want to be during the race. Remember, other than track meets, we’re not talking about your typical sporting event where the action is confined within a stadium, making it easy to watch. Even the shortest of cross country races can span an entire golf course in less than 20 minutes. Therefore, there has to be some level of activity, even for the spectators, on race day. I would say there are generally three different levels of activity for watching a race. First, are the stationary spectators. These are people that want to find one spot and sit there for the entire race. This group includes people that are lazy, have a difficult time getting around or find it hard to move the keg of beer they brought to the event. Hey, I told you running could be spectator friendly. Second, are the people that want to see as much of the race as possible, but move around the least. Parents with younger kids would typically fall into this category. They want to cheer for their spouse or friends as much as possible, but are also responsible for getting two or three kids and a dog around the course too. This requires more time and energy, so they have to be smart about moving from place to place. Third, are the people that want to see as much of the race as possible and don’t care how much blood, sweat or tears it takes to do

so. If someone in the race gets a side stitch, dry heaves or pukes, they want to know about it. No, no. They want to see it happen. This is the group that thinks nothing of driving six hours to watch a 25 minute race. They want to be sure they get their monies worth. After determining your level of activity, you need to decide how you want to get around the course. Obviously, if you’re going to sit in one spot for the race, this is not much of a concern. However, if you fall into the second or third group, you need to think about your best course of action for getting around. For cross country races, this is typically by foot, unless the race is on a golf course and you’re handy at hot-wiring golf carts. Because of the sheer length of the marathon, there are more options. In addition to getting around on foot, bikes and cars are good options also. Even public transportation can be used. Just ask Rosie Ruiz, the initial first place woman of the 1980 Boston Marathon who was later disqualified for taking a train. Since the use of a car requires extra time for battling traffic and finding parking places, I always opt to use my bike whenever possible. Once you know how you’re going to get around, the number one rule for spectating becomes, “know the course.” This is very important, because you can’t watch what you can’t see. I only need to share one example to explain how important this rule is. During college, I made a road trip with several teammates to Charlotte, North Carolina, to watch the Men’s Olympic Marathon trials. We hauled our bikes halfway across the country in an effort to see as much of the race as possible. After biking along during the first half of the race, some of us decided to cut through a neighborhood in order to get ahead of the runners. But, instead of jumping two miles ahead of the runners, we accidentally ended up eight miles ahead of the runners. By the time we saw them again, all the key moves had been made, and the Olympic team had basically been decided. We kicked ourselves for not under-

standing where the course went. If you plan on cheering for a specific person, it’s helpful to know the answer to a couple of questions before the race starts. First, what pace do they plan on running? This is especially helpful for longer races, because there’s a big time gap between the first and last place runners. And there could be thousands of runners in between. Having an idea of their pace helps determine when they should be passing you. Of course, be sure to leave some wiggle room for the time needed to cross the start line, bad days and other unforeseen events. Second, what do they plan on wearing? Again, there could be thousands of runners on the course, so knowing the color of their shirt and shorts can help you pick them out of the crowd. When it comes to cross country, keep in mind that many schools share the same colors. Therefore, parents should take this a step further and be able to pick out their runner’s exact uniform. Knowing that your son or daughter is wearing red and white might not be enough to pick him or her out of a big race. These last two tips have more to do with your comfort level than they do with watching the actual event. I think it’s important to pack light. However, you also want to bring along a variety of clothing options, because the weather around here can change quickly. And if you’re biking around the course, the chances are that you’ll work up a sweat, so it doesn’t hurt to have a spare shirt with you. Finally, and this is good for all occasions, bring snacks. In your excitement to get out the door, there’s a good chance you may have rushed through breakfast. You don’t want to be searching for the nearest McDonald’s when your girlfriend is expecting to see you along the course. So bring along something to drink, as well as a few things that won’t melt in the heat or get smashed in your bag. That means leave the chocolate bars and bananas at home. There you have it. Pass these tips along to your friends and family, and hopefully they’ll be clamoring to watch your next race. RM
