This is one of the major fall events on the New York Roadrunners* Club Calendar.This year's event was held on September 26 and featured eight separate races: Boys/GirlsHigh School, Men/Women Metropolitan, Men/Women Masters, and Men/Women Elite. Each racehas fields of approximately twenty runners. Competitors are selected from qualifyingtimes submitted by the competitor or by special invitation based on outstanding performances in mile races leading up to the event.On September 5, I received a call from Brian Caulfield, Race Director, inviting me tothe race. Back in August, I had submitted a t ime of 4:37 based on a track race runduring the twilight track series. During our conversation, Brian mentioned thequalifying times of other runners in the Men's Master's Race: 4:18, 4:20, 4:21...fora moment the thought occurred to me that I could face the distinct possibility offinishing the race with the rest of the field already putting on their sweats! Commonsense prevailed, when I reminded myself that two other competitors in my race, TomRobinson and Morris Whiting, had been running mile races with results similar to mine.Race day was picture perfect: cool, clear, temperatures in the 60's. No excuses today.As I walked down Fifth Avenue toward the check-in area on 62nd St., I thought back tothe Millrose Games last year. It was there, watching the Masters Mile, that I beganentertaining some serious thoughts of setting a goal of training for and competing inthe mile, with the Mercedes Mile as my primary goal.

Sixty-second Street was a beehive of activity. I picked up my race packet containingall the usual items with the exception of three identical numbers: one for the front,one for the back, and one for the left side of the shorts. Ah, yes, the photo timern u m b e r . T h i s i s S E R I O U S S T U F F !

All the masters runners jogged up Fifth Avenue to the warm up area at 79th St. I waspretty much in my own world at that point, going through my mental checklist and raceplan. Earlier in the week, I had decided to try to be within arm's reach of Tom Robinsonwith 400 meters to go. Tom had competed in this race twice before, having turned in afine 4:30 performance last year for third place. In past years, the race had eitherbeen slow at the start, playing into the hands of the "Kickers" or fast from the startwith everyone hanging on unt i l the end.

It was now 12:30 p.m., ten minutes before the start. Each competitor was introduced.Tom Larus and Jerry Lindgren lined up on either side of me. We shook hands and wishedeach other luck. Both Tom and Jerry had competed in the Olympics in the 1960's and 70's.I can vividly recall Jerry's outstanding performance against the Russians as seen onABC Wide World of Sports.

Everyone readied themselves for the start. The horn went off—we were flying. So muchfor the slow start/fast finish plan. We went through the quarter between 62.5 - 64.0.I was last in a tight pack. Tom was on my right just as I had hoped. As we headed upthe rise toward the half mile mark, the pack began to string out. 2:14 at the halfinto the wind! With 400 to go, "The Bear" was rearing its ugly head. I kept tellingmyself to keep it together. I could swear the finish clock was moving away from me.With 20 meters to go, Tom passed me to finish in 4:36, one second ahead of me. My4:37 for 14th place out of 22 was a PR. I was pleased with the time in view of the race..For the next two hours, most everyone congregated in the finish area to watch the otherraces. We chatted and exchanged backgrounds. I was most impressed by the fact thateveryone in the Masters' race was really pleased to have a chance to compete. All ofus live in the real world of job, family and other responsibilit ies.On one level, the event was bigger than the race. I was honored to have a part in it.On another level, I feel proud to have ac-hieved a goal in a "new" event, mileing,within the sport of running. I feel like a Freshman and look forward to my Sophmorey e a r a t a g e 4 2 .

TAYLOR WINEGLASS MARATHONby Linda Geppert'

With the New York Marathon fast approaching, I decided i t might beuseful to run a marathon as a long training run. (1 won't argue the wisdomof this decision. In some ways, running a "practice marathon" makes aboutas much sense as having a "practice baby". On the other hand, in a marathon, you can always drop out if it gets too rough.) Consulting my October issue of Running Times, 1 found 3 marathons l is ted for Columbusw e e k e n d . T h e fi r s t o n e I c h e c k e d i n t o w a s t h e M & M M o u n t a i n M a r a t h o n i nMassachuset ts . Af ter finding out a l l o f the race specifics over thetelephone, 1 asked whether the word "Mountain" had any significance. Theanswer was: "Well yes. The total amount of uphill climb is over 5000feet." 1 didn't bother asking for a race application. It may be a wonderful event, but definitely NOT as a training run three weeks beforeN e w Yo r k .

The nex t race I checked in to was the Tay lo r Wineg lass Mara thon ,(Taylor Wine Company being the major sponsor) in Hammondsport NY. Flatand fast" they told me. That sounded more like what 1 had in mind. Theonly problem was that Hammondsport is 250 miles away, in the southwestcorner of the Finger Lakes region. We decided to make a weekend campingtrip out of it. Though we had never been there, we had heard that theFinger Lakes region is a very interesting place, with lots of things tosee and do. Winery tours, the Corning Glass Museum, and Watkins Glen StatePark are only a few of the many attractions. Climbing the 875 steps upthe Watkins Glen Gorge is probably not a good idea the day before a marathon (and impossible the day after). But the scenery is spectacular.

The Wineglass Marathon is a very nice event. It is a point-to-pointrace, beginning at the Taylor Wine Company Park in Hammondsport, andending in Painted Post (just west of Corning). Although mostly flat (asadvertised), the elevation at the end is about 200 feet higher than atthe beginning. In fact, the race starts with a gradual 400 foot climb overt h e fi r s t f e w m i l e s . B u t f r o m t h e r e o n i t i s a l m o s t c o m p l e t e l y fl a t . I truns along county and state roads, mainly through the countryside, andis very picturesque at this time of year. It is sanctioned and certifiedby TAC. The organization left nothing lacking. There were mile markers,a n d v o l u n t e e r s a t a l l t h e t u r n s . W a t e r s t o p s a n d fi r s t a i d s t a t i o n s w e r ep l e n t i f u l .

About 500 people participated this year. This was a large enoughfield so that there were always runners within view. Although most ofthe runners were from the area, 1 met many people who had come from faraway: Washington DC, Pennsylvania, and even Hawaii. In addition to themarathon, there were also three-person relay teams, with each memberrunning about one-th i rd of the marathon distance.

The event is well-sponsored. All runners received long-sleeved T-shirts and quarter-liter bottles of Taylor champagne. Overall male andfemale winners in both open and masters divisions received specially designed Steuben crystal cubes. Age group winners also received merchandiseawards. Awards ran deep: down to sixth or seventh place in the largestage groups. There were also random drawings for several door prizes.• For a small race, competition was keen. The overall male winnerfinished in 2:28, and the overall female in 3:04. Winning masters timesw e r e 2 : 3 7 f o r t h e m e n a n d 3 : 1 7 f o r t h e w o m e n .

If there were a Michelin Running Guide, this race should get at h r e e - s h o e r a t i n g .

The annual Somers Lions Club Country Fair is a tradition in town. As an eleven-yearresident of Somers, my family and I have always attended this event, and this year itwas even better because it began with a lOK race through the town of Somers.

Alan Marmor of Somers was race director. I don't know how he arranged i t , but Alanmanaged a perfect day weatherwise, a beauti ful but chal lenging course, and there weren o t e v e n l i n e s i n t h e l a d i e s ' r o o m ! !

The course rolled pleasantly down and through the town of Somers, past the shoppingc e n t e r a n d E l e p h a n t H o t e l , d o w n R o u t e 1 0 0 .

Funny, I haddr iven up that hi l l many t imes and never real ized how steep i t was, but i t was absolutehell to run it. I saw many people walking, gasping, grunting as I was myself, staringu p w a r d i n d i s b e l i e f . T h e s a d p a r t w a s t h a t a l l o u r f a s t t i m e s d i e d o n t h a t h i l l .

Club members did very well: Helen Gordon (A3:24), Laurie Simunek (43:33), and Wen-ShiYu (43:33) led the ladies.

In the men's 60 +, Dom DiLauria (still improving!)took first in 42:46, ahead of Charlie Hemming of Scarsdale.

Club Treasurer Howie Solow must have been worrying about TRRC bills, he would prefernot to have h is t ime publ ished and was complain ing about the h i l l a f ter the race.Later, the flea market and refreshments were enjoyed by all.
