Dear RunMinnesota Readers,

MDRA is definitely this state’s most dominant and visible run-ning club. This was again reinforced on a recent weekend morningrun around the Chain of Lakes. As my girlfriend and I ran, I first point-ed out someone with their bright, red MDRA singlet. I stated, ‘Thatmust be an MDRA member.’

And for the next few hours, we spotted no less than 20 more run-ners wearing the same or similar red MDRA singlets. And, undoubt-edly, there were countless other MDRAmembers who just happenedto not be sporting their MDRA garb. It mademe think that MDRA hadcontrol of the lakes in check. And, naturally, I recognized many mem-bers 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, thespouse of Val Rogosheske. They are definitely an interesting and very talented couple as you’llfurther discover.

Regular contributing author, Mackenzie Lobby, haswritten a product review specifically with therunner in mind. In the product review, she educates us about some products that will help us avoidinjury and increase overall strength. Being this close to the Twin Cities Marathon, perhaps there area 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 arti-cle discussing tips on being a spectator at a running race. This way, if you have friends or familymembers coming to watch, or if you will be a spectator yourself, you will be able to get the mostout 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 meknow what you liked, what you didn’t and what you’d like to see in future issues. Feel free to emailme at [email protected].

In Memoriam by Bill Knight>

Diane Goulett, 1929-2009Diane 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 wasMinnesota 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

In 2007 Diane Goulett and her daughterBetsy Gomoll participated in a “memory walk”

for people with Alzheimer's.

Welcome to “Running in Minnesota,” RunMinnesota’s newestcolumn. “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 notstopped running is always so inspiring, no matter the reason. And, to be sure, some of us have a biastoward Minnesota runners.

Minnesota runners are a different breed in all the best ways. And, the fact of the mat-ter is that I have never met a Minnesota runner that I didn’t enjoy. It’s true. It’s that intan-gible “something extra” we all have, unlike anywhere else in the country.

I used to think the “something extra” was the strength born from our pio-neering ancestors, who most certainly ran, oftentimes behind oxen or whilechasing after nine or 10 children or while figuring out where the next mealwould 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 ofcold Minnesota weather means we get used to hurrying to get from placeto place. Racing from our cars into the stores or homes is what we areraised to do.Why not pin on a number and get a t-shirt for doing whatcomes naturally?

Over the years, I have been lucky to be at the starting line ofquite a few marathons, half marathons, 5Ks and 10Ks. And I’vealways tried to take a moment to forget about the race in front of me in orderto 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 soenjoy 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 isthat 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 havetraveled 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, learningand 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 itmakes all the sense in the world.

On behalf of the MDRA Board of Directors and members like you, we look for-ward to reading your running stories. Tell us why it is you run in Minnesota? Whatmade you start? Why do you still look forward to your runs? What is your mostmemorable run? What is your best running memory so far? What are your runninggoals? 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 yourstories to Heidi Keller Miler at [email protected].

I’ll see you at the starting line. Until then, enjoy your runs. RM

Top notch athletes are different than you andme. Mentally, as well as physically, different.

Looking back, one can see that from anearly age Phil Rogosheske was a gifted ath-lete. The seeds of what would later grow intoOlympic athleticism were evident: great phys-ical talent, self confidence, a capacity toendure incredibly intense workouts and aninnovative approach to training.

But who could have predicted he’d be anOlympian? Even more recondite, who couldhave guessed what his sport would be? Thefuture Olympic kayaker wasn’t paddling akayak or doing anything, in fact, to demon-

strate great stamina in high school. Or evencollege. Here’s the story.

Phil grew up in St. Cloud, Minnesota, hislifelong home town. His parents, from SaukRapids, Minnesota, were athletic. His dad hadbeen on the University of Minnesota swim-ming team and his mother had excelled at vol-leyball, which, as Phil pointed out, was theonly thing women could do in those days.They encouraged their three boys and twogirls to participate in sports. St. Cloud was rifewith opportunities for kids to play organizedsports, and Phil engaged in many of them.

Besides that, Phil recalled, his dad spent alot of time playing with his kids.

At St. Cloud Tech High School, where Phil

the high jump. “I was a running high jumper,”he said. “After the first of two miles, I would doa series of pop-ups.” Something like doing ahigh jump: four steps and jump as high as youcan. “Doing this until I couldn’t do anotherone. Then run again.” After that, typically hewould do several sets of 100 squat jumps.Interestingly, he would always jump at his beston the day of the meet.

The first hint that Phil might become anathlete with great stamina came after college.For three years, he coached the track and fieldand cross country teams at his high schoolalma mater. Wanting to learn something aboutwhat 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 tobe an aerobic athlete.” He would, in fact, be agood runner, running sub six minute miles forthe 10K. But this, of course, was not Olympiccaliber.

The draft loomed, and with it the VietnamWar. Phil enlisted in the Army, became an offi-cer and was assigned to the EngineeringSchool at Ft. Belvoir, Virginia.

This iswhere the story gets a littlemysterious.“I went into the Army,” Phil said, “with the

express purpose of making an Olympic team.”But what was the sport to be? Forget about thehigh jump. Merely terrific isn’t good enoughfor the Olympics. Phil pointed out that he wasa fitness star in training, scoring the maximumon the PT test. This is commendable, but hard-ly the stuff of a future Olympian.

In a stroke of luck straight from the pagesof a novel, Ft. Belvoir had the prep school forprospective West Point cadets. Phil applied fora job teaching English and coaching at theprep school and got the assignment. Everyyear, as it happened, the students and facultyvisited West Point.

As Phil said, “I had been looking around fora sport [in which to make the Olympics].” He

attended, football was something of a religion.Not surprisingly, he said, “I wanted to playfootball at Tech in the worst way.” He did playfootball as quarterback, and he was good at it.The football teams were outstanding: unde-feated in Phil’s senior year and ranked third inthe state. In addition to football, Phil playedbasketball, baseball and track and field. Hewas the last guy at Tech to compete in bothtrack 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 duringthe summer in preparation for the football sea-son, he didn’t run away from the other kids.Rather, he was to leave his mark in high schoolwith his explosiveness in the high jump.Making steady improvement through theyears, Phil set the school record in his senior

year by leaping 6’2”.Receiving a scholarship, but without a

stipend, Phil attended Gustavus AdolphusCollege in St. Peter, Minnesota. The coacheswanted him to play football and basketball. Hedid the high jump in track as well. He wouldplay guard on the basketball team for fouryears and play football for one year. And aftera foot injury, he was told to drop one sport.

But he excelled in the high jump. In hissenior year, making steady improvement, hejumped 6’ 8_”. It is a school record that stillstands (it’s been tied) and was for severalyears the best jump ever by a Minnesotan.

Phil read books on training and techniqueand devised his own approach to training for

The KayakerPhil Rogosheske by Patrick O’Regan

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.


saw the rowing boats atWest Point, but some-thing about the greasy oar locks turned himaside. He also saw the small kayaks that guyswould hoist on their shoulders when theycame out of the water. That did it.

Back at the prep school, Phil called everyboat club in the area. Tellingly, he picked thePotomac Boat Club, because they told him toshow up the next morning, not several dayslater or on the weekend.

It was a struggle. Racing kayaks are verytippy. You have to develop balance and learn tofeather the water to stay up. “I got to knowevery rock in the Potomac River,” Phil recalled.But he secured amore stable boat, learned bal-ance, soon returned to the racing boat and rodein the wakes of the guys in front of him, thoughtwo of the guys in the club were among the top10 kayakers in the country.

“They’d blow me away at the end [of ahard paddle],” Phil said, “but pretty soon Icould stay with them, and pretty soon I wasbeating them. It got to the point where theyknew they were done for in the K-1 [one mankayak],” Phil said.

How did he know he could be that good? “Ihad the confidence,” Phil said. “But, in retro-spect, it was just blind determination.” Phil’swife, Val, commented on his combination ofconfidence and a lot of hard work to go with it.“It’s a magical combination that works in anysport,” she said. “He gets clobbered at first,but goes on, just like a bulldog.” The world isfull of bulldogs, but there are very fewOlympians.

In 1970, the K-4 (four man kayak: JohnVanDyke, Jerry Welbourne, Phil and SteveKelly) won the North American Championship.As members of the North American Team, theywon a trip to Europe to train for a year. Part ofthat time, they paddled with the Swedishteam, then the best team in the world. Philtook careful notes of everything they did. And,thereafter, the team not having a coach, heplanned the training routines.

Training for the kayak is brutal. “Before Ihad the balance,” Phil said, “I ran a lot tomaintain my max VO2.” His was 71, the sameas marathoner, Frank Shorter. But the toughstuff was on the water. Like the Swedes, theydid a lot of short, intense repeats: 10 by threeminutes, four by 10 minutes and 90 by 15 sec-onds, on and off. One tough workout was togo as hard as possible for one minute, rest fora few seconds and repeat until you had utter-ly shattered yourself. The training included alot of running, too.

In 1972, the K-4 boat won the Olympic

K-2 boat were seventh in the WorldChampionships. In 1973, in the NationalChampionships, Phil won six of the sevenevents in the kayak competition: three at K-1,one at K-2 and two at K-4. In six years on theNational Kayaking Team, he would win 14national championships.

During this time, the Potomac Boat Clubhad the services of a scrawny kid with a clubfoot who toted the paddles to and from theboat houses. That was Greg Barton, Bruce’syounger brother. He would later become thegreatest flatwater kayaker in U.S. history.

In a training camp in Florida, leading up tothe Montreal Games, just three weeks beforethe Trials, Phil tore a muscle from a rib, takinghim off the water in his training. To allow thatthe others in the K-4 boat could get on with thepre-Olympic competition, Phil gave up his seatin the boat. At the Trials, he tried to make theteam in the K-1 10,000 meter race. In the besttwo-of-three competition, he lost in the thirdrace by a boat length.

“I was there,” Val said. “I had never seenhim lose. I was worried [about how he’d takeit]. But this guy. He really did it for the sheerjoy of the sport. He said, ‘Wow, that was reallyclose, wasn’t it?’”

“I didn’t have as much invested as otherpeople,” Phil said. “I had a job waiting for me.”

Not long after Montreal, Phil incurred ashoulder injury that ended his kayakingcareer. Largely, he turned his attention to fam-ily. He and Val have daughters, Abby and Allie,and a teaching career.

As a master athlete, Phil determined to getinto the top five nationally in a number ofsports. He did in four of them so far: mountainbiking, swimming (200 meter butterfly), nordicskiing (winning the National 30K), race walking.

Currently, he trains aerobically by racewalking, swimming and running. For strengthtraining, he does a series of body assistedexercises in his back yard.

Phil may try the high jump at the NationalMasters this summer. He’ll do the 5K and 10Krace walks for sure. “I’m going to try to crackthe top three in one of those events,” he said.

Trials. They were headed for the Games.Waiting in the tunnel to march into the

Olympic stadium in Munich, the Americans intheir flamboyant uniforms of white dress hatswith a red band, white sport coats, blue shirts,red, white and blue ties and white shoes, Philhappened to be standing near distance star,Steve Prefontaine.

Each athlete had been given a camera. Hetook Prefontaine’s photo. “This standingaround puts lead in your legs,” Prefontainesaid. On the march into the stadium, Phil wasin the same row as University of Minnesotaand Olympic coach, Roy Griak. Roy said tohim, “Not bad for a couple of country bump-kins, hah?”

The kayaking competition was at the endof the Games. Phil spent a lot of time workingout in the stadium with the track and fieldteam. He recalled getting behind Prefontaineand running after him. Going past Coach Griak,smiling at him, he remembered seeing thecoach shake his head. Likely out of someamused exasperation.

The K-4 boat reached the semi-finals andfinished fourteenth of 28. It was the best finishto that point by an American kayak in Olympiccompetition.

It might be mentioned that this was the erawhen many of the performances of theRussians, who had the most medals in theGames, the East Germans, who were third intotal medals, and Eastern Europeans, in gener-al, were, at best, suspect. The athletes weren’ttested for drugs.

During the competition, Phil distinctlyrecalled seeing a Romanian kayaker pop awhite 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. Wewere there for the competition.”

This was the Munich Games. Phil recalledvividly seeing guys in ski masks on the bal-cony of the building next to his in the village.But life went on as normal for the athletes dur-ing the standoff. Like most of the other ath-letes, he wanted the Games to continue.

Now married to Val, who worked full timeto support him, between the Munich andMontreal Olympics, Phil trained full time as akayaker. It should be mentioned that kayakingat the time was pure sport. The AmericanCanoe Association, the governing body forkayaking in the U.S., forbade athletes fromtaking money under any guise.

The K-4 boat raced many times during thesummer seasons, and, in four years, was neverbeaten. One year, Phil and Bruce Barton in the


What might I be missing when I plug my earswith earbuds or headphones while running?I’ve seen how much joy hearing-impaired-by-choice runners are missing. I find that runnerswho wear Personal Music Devices (PMD),compared to athletes who do not use a PMDduring a road race:• enjoy their running and road racing experi-

ences less than they would if they couldhear clearly and attentively to all the natu-ral sounds, cheers and announcements

• are less focused on their moment-by-moment performance and, therefore, slower

• are less safe

• frequently impede the safe progress andperformance of others

• increase demands on road race volunteers

• increase road race management costs andliability risks

Every runner has the right to wear head-gear, headphones or ear buds to help themwith their running. Sports psychologistsreport that many novice exercisers initiallyimprove their adherence to exercise by listen-ing to music. The music distracts the noviceexerciser from what may initially be unpleas-ant feelings they experience with exercise.Yet,we also have responsibilities, especially whenwe go out in public, and especially in thecrowded world of road races. Interestingly,sports psychologists also report that experi-enced exercisers improve their athletic per-formances and exercise experiences whenthey do not tune into PMDs. This is becausethey tune into the monitoring of both internalfeelings and external challenges to perform-ance.I’ve edited thousands of race photos.And I see confirmation in racers’ faces thatheadphone wearing runners are not nearly ashappily engaged in all the experiences of run-

ning and racing as those who run with boththeir ears and eyes, and attentive minds, wideopen to all the sounds, voices and cheersaround them.

I offer below a list of consequences andrisks of those who wear PMDs during runningevents:• missing important pre-race announce-

ments

•missing warnings about course safetyoffered by course marshals and police,and even fellow athletes and spectators,about changing conditions and circum-stances, such as dangers ahead

• missing motivational cheers from specta-tors, encouraging words from fellow ath-letes and the hearing of one’s nameannounced by race announcers

• missing music and sometimes even livemusicians along the course

• missing the sounds of nature

• missing the ever present friendly, helpful,chatter amongst runners

• missing course marshals’ directions to thecorrect finish line or finishers’ chute

• missing the finish line altogether

Also, PMD use in public may also commu-nicate other unintended, or even intended,messages:• I’m a novice runner

• I’m dependent on distraction from runningby hearing music

• I don’t want anyone to talk to me

• I’m not interested in anyone else or evenothers’ safety

But, if you insist that you just can’t run aroad race without your headset, timely learn toremove the earbuds from your PMDs in the fol-lowing three situations:• before the race to listen to pre-race

announcements

• along critical points on the course, such aswhen you see a coursemarshal or police officer

• as you approach the finish line

My hope is that more runners, oncedependent on PMDs, will discover the joy ofrunning and racing outdoors without PMDs. Inthis way, they will never have to finish a racewondering, “What did I miss?” RM

A rare, crisp morning along the Mississippi River indowntown Minneapolis greeted approximately 1,000 athletesarriving for the Inaugural Minneapolis Duathlon and Bike TimeTrial, on August 30, 2009. Even before the sun began to rise overthe river, racers were showing up, picking out their spot in thetransition area, ready for some fun, exercise and maybe a littlecompetition. The weather couldn’t have been any more perfect forthese athletes who wanted to become duathletes.

The Adventure of the Minneapolis DuathlonThe race began with a 5K run along West River Road, across theRiver onto Boom and Nicollet Islands and back to the transitionarea. The 18 mile bike route went south with the Mississippi Riveralong a tree-lined West River Road. The road was closed for therace from West Broadway nine miles south to the road’s turn-around.When the racers returned from the bike, they did the same5K run again.

“It was a beautiful route,” participant Kelly White said. She,her husband and 13-year-old son drove in from Wisconsin to racein the duathlon as a relay team.

The duathlon for every BODYTeam Ortho Foundation prides itself on organizing amateur eventslike the Minneapolis Duathlon and the Minneapolis Marathon(Monster and Polar Dashes also) to keep people active. Ultimatelythat activity promotes strong bone, muscular and skeletal health.This is why Team Ortho Foundation decided to organize a race thatwould give a first-timer the chance to compete in a duathlon with-out feeling intimidated or not good enough.

“I really wanted to see new athletes try a duathlon for the firsttime,” said John Larson, Team Ortho Executive Director.

Team Ortho Foundation organized three training sessions fornew duathletes, which got people excited. But the Du was alsoopen to racers with different styles of bikes. “It was so exciting tosee runners and cyclists take on this new challenge. Beginningwith our training and then to watch them a few weeks later crossthe finish line. There are no words to describe the pride I have ineach and every one of these athletes,” Larson said.

There were also two other kinds of races on the day of theduathlon: an individual bike time trial and a 5K run. Amongst allof these events and the different categories, 210 awards weregiven to top finishers.

You can now call yourself a DuathleteFirst-timers signed up for the Minneapolis Duathlon in droves;including Kristina Koznick, a Minnesota-native who has been onthe U.S. Olympic Ski Team three times, the White family, who didthe duathlon as a relay, and Gary Smisek, a 62-year-old runnerwho wanted to celebrate his birthday with his first duathlon.

Kristina Koznick: The former Olympian says she was talkedinto the race by a friend. Kristina has done a lot of cross trainingto prepare for skiing events, but had never done a duathlonbefore. Kristina finished without a problem saying she had an“absolute blast.”

“There were people of all shapes, sizes, fitness levels. What acool event.”

Kelly, Rob and Peter White: Kelly started running in August of2008. After doing a triathlon and a half marathon, she talked herhusband into doing the Minneapolis Duathlon as a family. “Ithought it would be a great race for Rob, Peter and I to do togeth-er,” Kelly explained. After the race, Kelly and her husband, Rob,described doing the family relay as a bonding experience. “It’skind of cool that the family is now getting into racing and exercis-ing,” Kelly said.

Gary Smisek: Gary turned 62 on the day of the MinneapolisDuathlon and he says he wouldn’t have had his birthday any otherway. Gary started competing in running races in 2000. Two yearsago, he hit a rough patch with a minor stroke. He has now recov-ered and feels great. After crossing the finish line at the duathlon,Gary exclaimed, “It was the best day of my life.” He decided to gowith a slow and steady pace for the whole event, and he said itworked. Gary said he never walked and he “increased his speed inhis last 5K.” Gary says he wants to be back for the duathlon eachyear. Even when he turns 82.

2010 Duathlon date is setNext year’s Minneapolis Duathlon is already open for registra-tion. The date is August 29, 2010. You can register atwww.teamortho.us RM

Como Park Relays, and Bob Lindsey volunteered to helpout there. Our membership total continues to drop. Thewebsite is much better, with several excellent featuresincluding RunMinnesota online.

Committee Reports:

Advocacy Committee: Bob Lindsey and Lisa Radzak met todecide on the goals and purpose of this committee. Theyare looking for ways to learn what causes MDRA needs toadvocate. They are thinking of emailing some other run-ning groups to find out their concerns. One big issue is thenumber of race directors who do not turn in completeand/or accurate race results to the MN Running DataCenter. It makes it very difficult to compile points forRunner of the Year, state records, USATF teams, and GrandPrix runners. One concept would be to make up a list ofbest practices and either write them up as an article inRunMinnesota or send it to race directors.

Club Administration: No new business.

Programs Committee: Mike Nawrocki reported that the fallmarathon training class is going well. The TC 10mile trainingclass is starting soon, though registration has been slow.Possibly people are waiting for the lottery to close.

Promotions Committee: Grandma's Expo was slow. Wedidn't sign up as many people as usual, though we alwaysget a bump in online membership applications after anexpo. Heidi has plans to put together a new banner backdrop to use at races and expos to promote MDRA. This willbe given to us free in exchange for an ad in RunMinnesota.

Publications Committee: The July issue of RunMinnesotashould be in the mail late in the week of July 13th.

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

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

There were problems with the results for the TC 1 mile.USATF has expressed some of the same concerns regard-ing accurate race results as the MDRA board.

New Business: Members of the board expressed concernfor our fellow runners who are ill, Colin Farbotko, LloydYoung, and Cindy Brochman.

Old Business: The Rock for Broch evening raised $5000.00

Special Guest: Derek Phillips of Need to Race expressed hisinterest in having one central location for both registering forand finding the results of races in our area. Barb Leininger isalso working on this. His data base is set up, but he wouldlike to link it to our website.

Meeting adjourned. RM

Fall is right around the corner. As a runner, thatmeans two things to me: cross country seasonand fall marathons. We put in a lot of time andeffort training for these types of races. Andthere’s no doubt that a lot is written about howto get the most out of ourselves on race day.

But, what about our friends and familymembers that will be out there cheering forus? We want them to get the most out of raceday, too, rather than being bored to tearswatching some running race. Believe it or not,running can be spectator friendly, especially ifyou follow these tips.

The first step to spectating actually shouldtake place before race day. You need to deter-mine how active you want to be during therace. Remember, other than track meets, we’renot talking about your typical sporting eventwhere the action is confined within a stadium,making it easy to watch. Even the shortest ofcross country races can span an entire golfcourse in less than 20 minutes. Therefore,there has to be some level of activity, even forthe spectators, on race day.

I would say there are generally three differ-ent levels of activity for watching a race. First,are the stationary spectators. These are peo-ple that want to find one spot and sit there forthe entire race. This group includes peoplethat are lazy, have a difficult time gettingaround or find it hard to move the keg of beerthey brought to the event. Hey, I told you run-ning could be spectator friendly.

Second, are the people that want to see asmuch of the race as possible, but move aroundthe least. Parents with younger kids wouldtypically fall into this category. They want tocheer for their spouse or friends as much aspossible, but are also responsible for gettingtwo or three kids and a dog around the coursetoo. This requires more time and energy, sothey have to be smart about moving fromplace to place.

Third, are the people that want to see asmuch of the race as possible and don’t carehow much blood, sweat or tears it takes to do

so. If someone in the race gets a side stitch, dryheaves or pukes, they want to know about it.No, no. They want to see it happen. This is thegroup that thinks nothing of driving six hoursto watch a 25minute race. They want to be surethey get their monies worth.

After determining your level of activity, youneed to decide how you want to get around thecourse. Obviously, if you’re going to sit in onespot for the race, this is not much of a concern.However, if you fall into the second or thirdgroup, you need to think about your bestcourse of action for getting around.

For cross country races, this is typically byfoot, unless the race is on a golf course andyou’re handy at hot-wiring golf carts. Becauseof the sheer length of the marathon, there aremore options. In addition to getting around onfoot, bikes and cars are good options also.

Even public transportation can be used.Just ask Rosie Ruiz, the initial first placewoman of the 1980 Boston Marathon who waslater disqualified for taking a train. Since theuse of a car requires extra time for battling traf-fic and finding parking places, I always opt touse my bike whenever possible.

Once you know how you’re going to getaround, the number one rule for spectatingbecomes, “know the course.” This is veryimportant, because you can’t watch what youcan’t see. I only need to share one example toexplain how important this rule is.

During college, I made a road trip with sev-eral teammates to Charlotte, North Carolina,to watch the Men’s Olympic Marathon trials.We hauled our bikes halfway across the coun-try in an effort to see as much of the race aspossible. After biking along during the firsthalf of the race, some of us decided to cutthrough a neighborhood in order to get aheadof the runners.

But, instead of jumping two miles ahead ofthe runners, we accidentally ended up eightmiles ahead of the runners. By the time we sawthem again, all the key moves had been made,and the Olympic team had basically beendecided. We kicked ourselves for not under-

standing where thecourse went.

If you plan oncheering for aspecific person,it’s helpful toknow the answer

to a couple of ques-tions before the race

starts. First, what pacedo they plan on running? This

is especially helpful for longer races, becausethere’s a big time gap between the first and lastplace runners. And there could be thousands ofrunners in between.

Having an idea of their pace helps deter-mine when they should be passing you. Ofcourse, be sure to leave some wiggle room forthe time needed to cross the start line, baddays and other unforeseen events.

Second, what do they plan on wearing?Again, there could be thousands of runnerson the course, so knowing the color of theirshirt and shorts can help you pick them outof the crowd.

When it comes to cross country, keep inmind that many schools share the same colors.Therefore, parents should take this a step fur-ther and be able to pick out their runner’s exactuniform. Knowing that your son or daughter iswearing red and white might not be enough topick him or her out of a big race.

These last two tips have more to do withyour comfort level than they do with watchingthe actual event. I think it’s important to packlight. However, you also want to bring along avariety of clothing options, because the weath-er around here can change quickly. And ifyou’re biking around the course, the chancesare that you’ll work up a sweat, so it doesn’thurt to have a spare shirt with you.

Finally, and this is good for all occasions,bring snacks. In your excitement to get out thedoor, there’s a good chance you may haverushed through breakfast. You don’t want to besearching for the nearest McDonald’s whenyour girlfriend is expecting to see you alongthe course. So bring along something to drink,as well as a few things that won’t melt in theheat or get smashed in your bag. That meansleave the chocolate bars and bananas at home.

There you have it. Pass these tips along toyour friends and family, and hopefully they’llbe clamoring to watch your next race. RM
