Position Available, starting 1/1/2001Election Day has come and gone, and guess what. I got elected (?) again. Wliat with the campaigning, the primaries and the debates, I'mexhausted. But seriously folks, this next year will be my last as Prez, So y'ali will have to start thinking about who among you will benext Prez. There are only two people who can't be the next Prez. Lee and I. therefore opportunity knocks for some ambitious soul tostep forward from the other 500+ eligible club members. Being Prez is a great job. which is made easy because of the absolutely fabuloussupport provided by the Taconic volunteers. Of course, there is a certain element of experience required, but guess what - all ol the basicscan be learned through volunteering at our events, and there's plenty of time during the upcoming millennium year to acquire the skills
you'll need. So if you have an outgoing personality, thick skin, and a word processor with a spell checker you could be writing this column in 2001 (A DoubleSpace Odyssey?).
K l i a l i d K h a n n o u c h i . s e t s N e w M a r a t l i o i i R e c o r dOn October 24. Khalid Khannouchi of Ossining (and a really nice guy) shattered the world's best time for the marathon setting the new best at 2:0.^:42 (pauseat this point and think about how last this time is) at the Chicago Marathon. This is a great achievement for Khalid who was our guest at one of our monthlymeetings last year. Khalid is still pursuing US citizenship, and is hopeful of running for the US in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. Due to some administrativescrew-ups at the Immigration & Naturalization Department his citizenship application has been delayed. At this point, without special legislation, hisapplication will not be approved in time. Rep. Sue Kelly has introduced a special hill (this is not uncommon) to facilitate Khalid's application, Thai's the goodnews. The bad news is that the chainnan of the Congressional Immigration & Naturalization subcommittee. Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, has blocked the bill.Smith's reasoning for nol supporting Khalid's application is that he doesn't led it is appropriate that Khalid displace other American marathoners from theOlympic squad. This is really laughable in light of the fact that only one American so far has run the Olympic qualifying standard of 2:14:{K), and that was DavidMorris who llnished I'ourih (2:09:32) behind Khalid in Chicago. No other Americans have come close, and the prospects are dim that any other Americans aregoing to qualify, and certainly there are none that can come anywhere close to Khalid. It's a pity that Khalid's fate is in the hands ol someone like Rep. Smithwho is obviously a pinhead. Do what you can to help - first nominate, then elect Rep. Smith to be the next Prez of TRRC. a position in which he will do lessdamage.
Y 2 KFear nol dear readers. TRRC is Y2K ready. All volunteers will be issued a special device* which will enable them to continue the very effective performance oftheir race duties in the new year. The device will ensure that they will know when and where to be at all times during the year 20(X). After studying our readinessfor the last 18 months our outside consultants came up with this suggestion, and it was approved by the TRRC Board by a vote of 2 to 1 with several abstentions,including one Board member who had never used such a device and wasn't sure it was user friendly enough. It was agreed that a special training session would beheld sometime in January 2000. that is if we all make through New Year's.
That 's a l l fo r now.
Your lame duck Prez ,Ed

1999 Children's Columbus Day Raceby Scott Abercrombie
For several years, the number of participants in the Columbus Day Racehas been in the high 400's, never quite reaching 500. Well, this year, duringthe 14"" annual running races for children on Columbus Day, 571 childrenparticipated! The race is set up as a competition between elementaryschools. Historically, the majority of kids have represented the Lakelandand Peekskill schools. This year there was strong participation fromMahopac and other districts, which means the potential is there for evenlarger numbers in the future. The reason we restrict the race to grades onethrough six is to keep the size of the race manageable. I'm overjoyed withthis year's turn out. I'm especially proud of the job done by co-directorJohn Hallinan (I couldn't be there) and all the volunteers. We are veryfortunate to have so many wonderful people in our club enabling us to holdevents like this along with the traditional road and cross country races.
All races are once around the V* mile cinder track in Depew Park, Peekskill.The races begin with the first grade boys being brought on to the infield anddivided into individual heats. The track just isn't big enough to run everyone at the same time. Every child receives a ribbon at registration, the first1/3 in each heat win medals and the first 3 in each heat score points for theelementary school they are from. Once the first grade boys are done thenthe first grade giris race, then second grade, etc. There were 50 heats intotal! The fastest time of the day was 74 seconds by a 6"" grade boy,Terrence Egan. and the second fastest was 76 seconds by a 5'" grade girl.C h i a H u d s o n .
There are four categories for team trophies. Peekskill schools have all ofone grade in a specific school, thus limiting each schools opportunity towin points. The Lakeland schools show up with huge numbers of kids, andthe Parochia l schools have smal ler enro l lments. The first Parochia l sc i ioo l
was St. Augustines from Ossining. The first three Lakeland schools inorder of finish were Van Court, Thomas Jefferson and Lincoln/Titus, whilet h e fi r s t t w o P e e k s k i l l s c h o o l s w e r e W o o d s i d e a n d H i l l c r e s t . T h e fi r s t
public school (not including Lakeland and Peekskill) was Austin Road fromMahopac. The physical education staff in these schools is the secret to thehigh number of participants. You can see by the way they support theirkids at the race that they are great fans of these children. They want kidsinvolved in positive activities, and they are the ones who encourage thechildren to be at this race.
In addition to theTaconic Road Runners Club, the Peekskill Department ofHuman Services is a co-sponsor. They provide and prepare the facilities.

Makes a Great Holiday Gift!
Peekskill has always been very supportive of our running events, and wearc very fortunate to have access to such a great location as Depew Park. Ialso want to thank the several businesses that provided funding. Over$1000 was spent on awards, and since inception this race attempted toraise some money for good causes. For several years now the proceedshave gone to the Peekskill Volunteer Ambulance Corps and the MathewMoore Fund. First. I'd like to thank Salerno Chrysler Plymouth Dodge onRoute 202 in Yorktown because they provide funding for both races I co-direct. Peekskill Paint and Hardware on Main Street Peekskill (proprietor
Marty DiCola is a Taconic member). My Dentist Ronald G. Worth ofHudson Valley Dental in Peekskill. Pizza Central on Washington StreetPeekskill, American Cycle & Tire on 9A in Montrose and both Wal*Martand Blockbuster Video from the Cortlandt Center were also race sponsors.The hardest part of directing any race is obtaining sponsorship. It's a toughbusiness climate out there, which makes me all the more grateful for thefinancial assistance from so many considerate sponsors.

Cold Weather Running Safety
by Henley Gibble
These tips are taken from the Road Runners Club of America's Cold Weather Running recommendations.The only time that I will not run in the winter is when there is ice on the trails. Early morning runs in newfallen snow can be someof the most memorable. Runs in cold weather can be some of our most wonderful experiences; they can also be some of the worstif a few key safety rules are overlooked. Hypothermia, frostbite and falls are some of the risks.
DON'T WEAR HEADPHONES. It gets dark earlier these days, and a lurking attacker cannot be heard as well with headphoneson. During the months with shorter days you need to rely on your auditory senses even more.VARY YOUR ROUTE AND TELL SOMEONE WHERE YOU ARE RUNNING. Have emergency identification (preferably waterproofed) in a pocketor somewhere on your person.CLOTHING OUTER LAYERS SHOULD BE LIGHT-COLORED OR REFLECTIVE. Light colored material is visible even without a strong lightsource. Reflective materials work only if there is a light source, Blaze orange becomes poorly visible at night. However, during snowy days, dark or brightcolors provide visible contrast and attract solar energy.WEAR CLOTHING IN LAYERS. Warm air will be trapped between the layers. Use clothing with vents and zippers to allow excess heat to escape asyou become warm. On windy days the outer layer should be of wind-resistant and "breatheable" material; the innermost should be a "wicking" fabric.AVOID OVERDRESSING. It is better to feel a bit underdressed and chilly as you start out. As you run in your layered environment your temperaturewill rise about 20 .
PLAN YOUR RUN. It is preferable to run into the wind at first and with the wind behind you on the way back. Check on weather conditions prior to yourr u n .
HAT AND GLOVES ARE CRUCIAL TO BODY WARMTH. You can take them off as you heat up and pull them back on when needed. More than 25%of body heat can be lost through a bare head.RUN AGAINST VEHICULAR TRAFFIC (if you must run on roads).IF ROADS OR TRAILS ARE ICY DON'T RUN. If snowy, pay attention to the soles of your shoes. Shoes with the "nubs" give better traction in snow.DRINK WATER. Because humidity and the temperature are low, sweating is not as profuse, but vital fluids are still lost on every run. Be sure to drinkplenty of water daily.

O L D C H AT H A M 5 K — T H I R D T I M E ' S AC H A R Mby Bob Kopac
The RRCA New York State Championship 5K, a.k.a. the OldChatham Hunt Country 5K, just keeps getting better and better. It is hardto envision how Director Mark French and Assistant Director Jeff Lappieswill be able to top this year's race held on September 11th. There wasperfect weather, great food, music, and running legend Bill Rodgers, all fora worthy cause.
In the previous two years, the Old Chatham 5K had been a fundraiser for the Morris Memorial. In the early 1900s, the family of Chathambusinessman George Morris established this not-for-profit organization tomemorialize Mr. Morris and construct a youth center to help Chatham areayouths and to combat juvenile delinquency.
This year the Morris Memorial merged with Crellin Park, another youth-serving organization in Chatham. By adding the park facilities,swimming, soccer, tennis, and baseball of Crellin Park to the MorrisMemorial's youth center, basketball, Chatham Gold Youth Track & Fieldand Cross Country programs, the new organization can serve the Chathamarea youth year-round. To help raise funds for the Crellin Morris Association, Old Chatham featured three races: the Youth Mile and CommunityWalk, Women's 5K, and Men's 5K.
Ten year old Craig Forys of Howell, NJ was first in the YouthMile with a course record time of 5:48.7. Mark French was proud toannounce during his play-by-play commentary of the race that Craig is hisnephew and Godson. Craig's running buddy Briana Jackucewicz, fromFarmingdale, NJ, was the first female, finishing third overall in a time of6:28.6. Remarkably, she then ran the women's 5K and finished first in the12-and-under category with a time of 20:06.0—^all at the age of eight!
Perhaps the most notable 5K-course age-group record was set by80-year-old Grace Day with a time of 54:16.6. Tom Dalton of Schenectady,the American 3K indoor track record holder, set a new Men's Mastersrecord of 16:03. Beth Herder of Pittsfield, MA set the Women's Mastersrecord, finishing in 19:26. They all may have been inspired by the variety ofmusic on the course—from the Zak Calhoun rock band, to the Chatham
High School marching band, the Irish-folk sounds of the Wild AbandonBand, and the Kuumba African drummers helped by the drumming ofFrank Serpico.
The top four women finishers from last year again placed in thetop four this year, but they played musical chairs. Tonya Dodge fromAlbany, second last year, won this year's race in a time of 17:41.9. Earlierthis year. Dodge took 4th at the national steeplechase championships.Second-place finisher at Old Chatham was Jennifer Latham (18:05.4), fromCroton-on-Hudson, a member of the Running Times Magazine staff whoimproved by two positions over last year. Amy Herold (18:31.8) of CliftonPark matched her third-place finish of last year, while Charlene Lyford ofGreene, NY, last year's winner, came in fourth in a time of 18:47.5. BothHerold and Lyford have battled injuries this past summer.
In the Men's 5K, Kenyan native Paul Mbugua won for the second year in a row with a time of 15:16.4, beating Moroccan-bom AbidiBouazza of Kingston, NY by 16 seconds. Mike Slinskey, the NYRRCRunner of the Year finished third, 4 seconds behind Abidi; while Nick
Conway of Albany, NY, finished fourth in a time of 15:56.5.For the third year in a row Spiderman ran the race, but this time
Santa Claus joined him. Hmmm, Spiderman and Santa Claus...did runnershave to wear costumes to be noticed? Well, the most famous runner of alldid not wear a costume; yet every runner easily recognized legendary runner Bill Rodgers, winner of 4 New York City Marathons and 4 BostonM a r a t h o n s .
Bill Rodgers attended the Old Chatham 5K under the sponsorship of Columbia Memorial Hospital of Hudson, NY to advance the race
and the hospital's message about healthy lifestyles. It is amazing that Billwas able to run the 5K after participating in so many pre-race events!
On Thursday, Bill talked with over 250 members of crosscountry teams from area high schools and then led a 3.5-mile group runand signed autographs for each of the runners. It is a good thing that Billdoes not have to run on his hands! That Thursday evening. Bill wasfeatured at an informal reception at the hospital's Chatham Family CareCente r.
On Friday morning Bill led another group run and graciouslygranted an interview to a pesky writer (me). Later that evening, at theShaker Museum, the staging area for the race. Bill met with race entrants,signed more autographs, and posed for more photos.
Saturday morning, race day. Bill attended a reception with majorrace sponsors before roaming the Shaker Museum grounds to meet therace participants. After all that activity, Bill lined up at the starting line ofthe men's 5K run. That was probably the first time he could relax allweekend! Then the race started, and he went out to try yet anothercourse and continue his love of running.
How did Bill do after all that pre-race activity? He set a newcourse record in the 50-54 age group with a time of 16:55.8. Afterwards,Bill again signed many autographs, while everyone enjoyed the post-raceactivities. From pasta salad to cookies to home-made maple yogurt, therewas plenty to eat. The runners checked to see if they had won any of theover 200 door prizes. At the post-race area, the New York State MartinLuther King, Jr. Interdenominational Choir energized the tired runnerswith rousing spiritual music. Food, music, camaraderie—it was a fittingc l imax to the Old Chatham 5K.
The third RRCA New York State 5K Championship and fundraiser was the best ever, thanks to the tireless work of Director MarkFrench, Assistant Jeff Lappies, generous sponsors, hundreds of race-dayvolunteers, and the efforts of running legend Bill Rodgers. Bill demonstrated, once again, that runners are nice people. I just wonder how Markand Jeff will ever top this year's race. Knowing them, they will try!

Hurricane Floyd visits Northern Westchester andWrecks Havoc with Teatown'sTrai ls
By Dehra Kenney
This year's Teatown Lake Reser\'ation trail run almost ciidn'i happen dueto the high winds and heavy rains brought by Floyd that washed out mostof Tealown's trails, forcing ihcm lo close the trail system. After adiscussion with Ruth Rubinstein. Teatown's Director of Education andour contact person, it was decided that the 5K course was in pretty goodshape necessitating only a couple of changes. The race was a "go", andtook place on Saturday. September 25"*, as scheduled! Ninety-six runners negotiated the route along Teatown Lake and through the woods,while jumping over a few more downed trees thanks to Floyd .
One of the highlights of this year's racc was the participation of fourgenerations of runners from the Baker family. Stuart Baker. 93. was thesenior member of the family competing with Georgia Baker. 6. the youngest participant of the Baker clan! See how they and the rest ol theparticipants did in the results.
The Teatown Trail Race is a fundraiser for Teatown. After you subtractthe cost of food, beverages, shirts, awards and other incidental costscovered by the entiy fees, the budget is depleted. Therefore, we are mostgrateful to our sponsorship for making a significant contribution toTeatown possible. Sponsors included Club Fit, represenieil by CilenMcCarthy, Mrs. Green's Natural Market. Salerno Chrysler PlymouthDodge of Yorktown. Yorktown Beer & Soda. Yorktown Pizza & Pasta,Yorktown Tire & Auto Care, and Midway Hardware in Yorktown ownedby Taconic's Steve Levine.

Couiitdowa MileageBy Tom Piazza
before the Januarysome goals.D i s c l o s u r e : T R R C
credit for any inipt
Most goals that runners has e arc based on time or completing a certain distance, such as a marathon. How are such goalsattained? Simply put. in order to attain these goals runners must get out there and run. They must put in the training, the hardwork, and Ihe mileage.
Look at your training and see when you ran your best races. For most people it was when they were running consistently,when they were healthy and when they were running a good amount of mileage. When did you run poorly? For most of us itwas when the mileage dropped, we got sick, and we became weak. Mileage keeps us strong, allowing us to run harder and faster.It also keeps us healthy and racing well.
For the coming year, runners arc asked to submit a mileage goal for the year 2000. This goal will be tracked on a monthly basisand updated in the Taconic Running Life. Runners are asked to pick a goal that is not only realistic, but also challenging. Byputting a goal in writing ii becomes real. By tracking the mileage, we become more consistent. By sharing our goal with ourpeers, we enable others to support us and aid us in attaining our goal.
Please remember this is not a contest to sec who can run the most. It is a contest to see who can set a goal and remain trueto it. It is also a contest for everyone to pull together and help each other. By reaching your mileage goal, you may become abetter runner, and maybe, even a better person.
Please submit your inileage goals to Tom Piazza by email at [email protected] or leave a message at (800) 603-3285issue of Taconic Running Life. Also, start tracking your mileage on January 1st. It's a new millennium and a new opportunity to set
lakes no responsil)ilitx for an\ fatigue, injury, mummification, or death from participating in this contest. TRRC does however, take fullovenients in t imes and health.

by Greg DiamondIt was the most exciting running event we've ever been involved in. And after just over 24 hours of running, through the chilly night of New
Hampshire, 11 tired runners joined our last leg, Gia Boulos for her last half mile onto the beach in Hampton. It was our eco-challenge. And we could nothave been sorrier that it ended.
A few months ago we began to bring together 12 of us to run on a teamsupported by Running Times magazine, the primary sponsor of the race.Jenn Latham, a Running Times employee, one of Moving Comfort's toprunners and a TRRC member started the ball rolling. TRRC's Nancy Youngbrought in several TRRC members, including Nick Jubok, Bill Foley, EdMcLaughlin, Lee Saroken, Marc Diamond. Nancy Vasta and myself, Jennbrought along Jud Santos, a Harrier, and Mike Latham, her husband andTRRC member. The task would not be easy. Starting during the afternoon ofOctober 1 st, we were to take turns running legs varying from 2 to 8.9 miles.Each of us would run three times, in the same order, through the day andnight.
We split our runners into two vans, assigning runners to legs based ontheir strengths. The first six were in Van I, and would run first. The second sixwere in van 2, and would go shopping before running to pick up running shortsCor Jud. who had forgotten his! The 31 teams that participated were started infour waves, the first at 8:30AM. then 10:()0AM, 11:3()AM and 1:()()PM. Wewere in the last wave with four other teams. Prior to starting, the Silknet teambet us a round of beers that they would finish before us. It was the start of a great24 hours .
In the first few legs, run by Nancy Young, Nancy Vasta and Lee Saroken.Silknet took a lead, as did several of the other teams, Then Mike Latham took the
baton (a bright yellow wrist strap) and started reeling in runners. By the time Ihad the baton for the sixth leg. Silknet was the only team (o pass and we werefirst (of our group) into ihe seventh leg. In the second van. Marc Diamond took
I the baton late in the afternoon. Jud Santos would go next as the sun set and darknessprevailed. For the next 12 hours we would run in the dark. Jenn Latham was chaseddown by a runner from behind in the middle of her leg, but held him off for theduration. This courageous run sparked the members of van 2,
Throughout the night we exchanged the lead several tiipes. We, in van 1,only got 1 -2 hours of sleep and were 7 minutes late to get the baton for our last setof legs. We had let Silknet build a big lead. Over the next six legs we passed 10teams, including several that had started hours before us. Then Van 2 got the batonfor the final time. On the last leg, with team 9, another of our original five, too closefor comfort, Gia Boulos hammered home the final 5 miles along the beach. Silknethad fallen well back by this time. As she ncared the end, all of us joined her for thelast half mile, to the beach and under the finish banner to the cheers of all those thathad finished ahead of us.
In the end we had finished third overall. But one of the most amazing thingswas that the greatness of this race came not from beating anyone, but from thecamaraderie we shared and the incredibly friendly competition that developed
among the various teams. A telling moment came during my second leg. Ihad been given bad directions by the volunteer at my transition and 1 tooka wrong turn. None other that the great Silknet team came my rescue andrerouted me. And then they tracked down my teammates in the van to turnthem around. A few miles later. I passed their runner again. Without theirhelp, we would not have beaten them.
The Reach the Beach Relay was crcatcd this year as an cast coastversion of the Hood to Coast relay. Many teams are turned away from thaipopular relay, which took place a few weeks ago with 1 ()()() teams. Another1000 teams wanted to run. Hopefully in years to come, this will turn intothat kind of event. Or maybe not - how could we renew our friendly rivalry
with Si lknet i f we had to fend off 900+ other teams?
