Weekly Race Report Front Runners were everywhere last weekend pushing their limits, pushing the boundaries, and posting some major accomplishments! Where to start? Early on Saturday morning, a few hours before any of us assembled for the fun run, an amazing group of Front Runners started their 60K-long trek around Central Park, and around and around again. Nine loops later, an awesome seven Front Runners emerged as finishers of the Knickerbocker 60k (37.3 miles): Jonathan Warner (5:02:40, 1st AG, 17th Overall, PR) and Michael Sanderson (5:02:40, 4th AG, 18th overall, PR) were the first two across the line. They were soon followed by Michael Benjamin (5:17:34, 1st AG!!, PR), Manja Srinivasaiah (5:58:15, PR), Anthony Ng (6:08:09, PR), Michael Gonzalez (6:34:09, PR), and Joe Lim (6:54:15, PR). Congrats, gentlemen! On Sunday morning, NYRR presented two different races - the Race to Deliver 4 mile race, starting at 8:30 am, and the Fred Lebow XC Championships, a 5k, three short hours later. Four tough Front Runners raced both! Patrick Guilfoyle finished the 4 miler in 25:15 (1st AG, 5th FR), and then finished the 5k in 20:52 (2nd AG, 1st FR!). Next were Bernd Erpenbeck (27:41 (4M), 22:46 (5K, 7th AG), Steve Cochran (36:33 (4M), 29:46 (5K, 13th AG, 4th FR)), and Sam Lafata (43:16 (4M), 12th AG, 27:05 (5K, 5th AG). Rounding out the first five men -- who took third-place citywide in the GLWD 4-miler -- with Patrick were Rich Velazquez (21:44, 8th Overall, 2nd AG), Gabe Benroth (22:23, 4th AG), Michael White (22:56, 7th AG), and Chris Stoia (24:04, 5th AG). Coming in fast and furious for the women were: Michele Mazzara (30:45, 12th AG, PR!), Alison Casillo (34:43, PR!), Sara McMillan (36:20), Brittany Freese (36:22), and Danielle Pepitone (37:07). Also on the honor roll for the race to deliver are Dave Caraway (25:16, 4th AG), Mike Grzelecki (26:46, PR!),Mike McMahon (27:07, 5th AG), David Pitches (27:43, 2nd AG), Jeff Schrager (30:42, PR!), and AJ Stachelek (37:39, PR!). Congrats also to Liam O’Rourke (36:51) and Ruth Gursky (50:10) for their brand new PRs! And well done to Joe Lim, who, after finishing the 60k on Saturday, ALSO finished the 4M on Sunday! In the XC 5K, Jill Crouther was the first female Front Runner to cross the line in 26:20. Down in Maryland, somewhere near the Appalachian Trail, three Front Runners dared to take on the JFK 50 mile race. The JFK 50 mile race has its roots in tradition -- a tradition that JFK himself started to test his military officers. These officers had to complete 50 miles in less than 20 hours to keep their commissions. Richard White (10:04:57), Zander Ross, and Tim Guscott (both 10:35:00) showed their stuff and finished in half that time! To do this race justice, this reporter is borrowing the words of Marathon Maniac Zander Ross: This race has become the crown jewel of my running career. The race was an incredible surprise for me. Tim was the best ultra long distance coach I could ever had ask for. Several months ago, while at the Met Opera House, Tim showed me the schedule and my thoughts were, "He’s nuts, there’s no way I can do that!" But after many hours of running, slow, fast, walks, double marathons, back to back marathons in one weekend, four marathons in two weeks and on and on....the time arrived to put ourselves to the real test. The first 15 miles of this race were on a mountain with the most jagged, protruding stones ever. Giant uphills and terrifying downhills, so steep down, that we had to grab on to the trees not to roll down like a snowball. To give you an idea how tough this portion of the race was, it took us close to 4 1/2 hrs just to clear the mountain section. Once on the towpath things got better, but our legs felt the fury of the mountain quite well. For �the next close to 30 miles, the towpath was flat, long and monotonous. It really tested our stamina. And to top it all off, the final 8 miles were on a road, shared with cars, with very little light, and with endless up and down rolling hills. We started in the dark and we finished in the dark. I’ve never exercised for over 10 hrs before.....can you imagine being at the gym for over 10 hrs? Yikes!!! The JFK 50 miler is gonna be one of the best memories of my life, the camaraderie and friendliness of runners and volunteers was like no other. The challenge, determination and the constant fight against sore muscles and mind games that called us to STOP at every step, were constant. It was a great experience, and I really have to thank Tim Guscott for his never ending belief in me and his amazing knowledge and words of encouragement. Without Tim, I would have probably ended it at the bottom of the mountain. Thank you Tim, you are my guiding angel! And BTW, that Richard White is an awesome runner, when I grow up, I want to be like him! Thanks, Zander - Awesome, simply awesome! And finally, not far from here, in the city of brotherly love, Front Runners showed their love for running, their love for each other, and their love for speed! Winding past historic landmarks like Independence Hall, Benjamin Franklin’s Burial Place, the National Constitution Center and the Liberty Bell, through urban neighborhoods such as Old City, University City, South Philadelphia and Manayunk, and along the gorgeous waterfronts of the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers, Philadephia presented both a marathon and half marathon this Sunday. In the marathon, eight Front Runners zoomed through the streets with "Eye of the Tiger" on repeat in their heads: Eddie Valentine cruised to a PR in an astonishing 2:39:39 (BQ); Jerry McDonnell made sub-3 look easy with a 2:58:00 (BQ); Kyle Mammarella showed everyone how to get it done and still look cute - 3:02:45 (BQ); Tom Dunne ran an incredible PR of 3:10:58 (BQ); Ryan Singer suffered through race madness for an awesome result: 3:15:48 (BQ); Albert Chen was all smiles throughout the race for an awesome 3:18:12; Adam Pollack stopped for a photo and still finished in 3:26:47 (PR); Ben Corbett had an awesome first marathon time: 3:41:17; Bernie Janelle smashed her previous PR while qualifying for the Beantown dance in 4:00:38 (BQ and 12:18 PR!), and Michael Jalbert enjoyed the perfect weather and yet another 2010 marathon to finish off in 4:42:53. Dennis Giza (2:05:17), Jonah Nigh (1:41:56) and Ned Russell (1:35:12) took to the mean streets of Philadelphia in the half marathon. Dennis noted that he could not have finished without the FRNY fans! In an amazing show of team spirit, FRNY Cheer Force One was seen all around the Philadelphia Marathon course! Thanks (in no particular order) to David Lin, Jonathan Warner, Rachel Kliegman, Sandi Rowe, Alison McKenna, Steve Waldon, Blossom Coryat, Megan Jenkins, Kelsey Louie, Jeff Werner, Audra Farrell and Cindy Hearing for battling the chilly air to cheer on your fellow runners!

We really had an amazing year so make sure that you nominate those who led the charge for FRNY in 2010! Training Tip As �you begin to add speed work to your workout regimen, keep in mind that you should only increase volume or intensity, not both. So, if you are new to speed work, or if you haven’t done this type of intense work in a while, keep your weekly mileage the same. Increasing both intensity and volume too much can potentially lead to injuries. Wild Women’s Wednesday -- Dec 1st! Come join FRNY for the last Wild Women’s Wednesday of 2010! We will have a special surprise FRNY woman as the guest speaker for announcements that night. Don’t miss it! We will also have a special dinner after it so come join the run and encourage your female friends to come out next Wednesday! It is sure to be a blast. Holiday Gift Basket Time -- Dec. 11th! With your turkey/tofurkey basting away, it’s time (already!) to turn our thoughts to the FRNY Holiday Gift Baskets! Following a year of successful partnership with AIDS Service Center New York, we will be providing this wonderful organization with gift packages to distribute at their holiday party in December. In particular, ASC is looking for adult sized cold-weather gear, including hats, gloves, scarves, and warm-pullovers. FRNY will be donating gear, but feel free to buy an extra set of gloves or hat - the more, the better! We will be collecting items beginning at the Fun Run on Saturday, December 4th, with drop-off available also at the Wednesday night fun run (December 8th). We will gather as a group beginning at 9:00am at the Fun Run on December 11th to wrap packages for ASC. If you have any questions, please contact Les James (les.james0209@gmail.com) or Tom Ward (tpward29@gmail.com). As an added bonus, Sharen Duke the Executive Director of ASC will be joining our fun run on this day and will discuss the mission of the organization as our December speaker of the month. Don’t miss it! FRNY Multisport Initiatives Swimming continues on Monday nights at 8 PM. Please check our calendar for details. Our team has been extended a special deal on wetsuits. Please e-mail us at multisport@frny.org for purchasing details, to share your upcoming race schedule, or to be added to our distribution list for weekly workouts. FRNY Shoe Drive -- Now Through Dec 18th Thank you for continuing to donate your athletic footwear-your contributions have made the drive incredibly successful! Gently worn shoes will be donated to people and "dead" shoes will be recycled. The organizations we are partnering with are: Soles4Souls, Nike ReUse A Shoe and one local running organization still to be determined. A collection box is available @ Rutger’s Church at each Saturday morning and Wednesday night Fun Run for the duration of the drive. The shoe drive is must end on Saturday, Dec 18th and we hope to collect 200 pairs of shoes-that’s about one pair for approximately 1/3 of our current membership and given how often we replace our shoes, most of us probably have more than one pair just collecting dust. For more information about these organizations or if you have a recommendation for one based in the NYC area, please contact Sandi Rowe at women@frny.org. FRNY Clothing Drive -- Now Through Dec 11th To continue in the spirit of giving, Front Runners New York will be collecting gently-used clothing to benefit the Aids Service Center’s Clothing Bank. The ASC Clothing Bank serves to provide one of several basic needs to their clients living with HIV/AIDS. Outer wear and warmer items are especially helpful but all clothing items are welcome. Clothing should be clean and in good condition, folded and in a bag. You may leave your clothing donation near the shoe drive collection box in our closet @ Rutger’s Church. The AIDS Service Center is also the beneficiary of our holiday gift program - (gift wrapping date and more details coming soon). For �more information about the AIDS Service Center, visit http://www.ascnyc.org or contact Sandi Rowe at women@frny.org. FRNY Photo Request Dear Front Runner shutterbugs!

Weekly Race Report Front Runners were everywhere last weekend pushing their limits, pushing the boundaries, and posting some major accomplishments! Where to start? Early on Saturday morning, a few hours before any of us assembled for the fun run, an amazing group of Front Runners started their 60K-long trek around Central Park, and around and around again. Nine loops later, an awesome seven Front Runners emerged as finishers of the Knickerbocker 60k (37.3 miles): Jonathan Warner (5:02:40, 1st AG, 17th Overall, PR) and Michael Sanderson (5:02:40, 4th AG, 18th overall, PR) were the first two across the line. They were soon followed by Michael Benjamin (5:17:34, 1st AG!!, PR), Manja Srinivasaiah (5:58:15, PR), Anthony Ng (6:08:09, PR), Michael Gonzalez (6:34:09, PR), and Joe Lim (6:54:15, PR). Congrats, gentlemen! On Sunday morning, NYRR presented two different races - the Race to Deliver 4 mile race, starting at 8:30 am, and the Fred Lebow XC Championships, a 5k, three short hours later. Four tough Front Runners raced both! Patrick Guilfoyle finished the 4 miler in 25:15 (1st AG, 5th FR), and then finished the 5k in 20:52 (2nd AG, 1st FR!). Next were Bernd Erpenbeck (27:41 (4M), 22:46 (5K, 7th AG), Steve Cochran (36:33 (4M), 29:46 (5K, 13th AG, 4th FR)), and Sam Lafata (43:16 (4M), 12th AG, 27:05 (5K, 5th AG). Rounding out the first five men -- who took third-place citywide in the GLWD 4-miler -- with Patrick were Rich Velazquez (21:44, 8th Overall, 2nd AG), Gabe Benroth (22:23, 4th AG), Michael White (22:56, 7th AG), and Chris Stoia (24:04, 5th AG). Coming in fast and furious for the women were: Michele Mazzara (30:45, 12th AG, PR!), Alison Casillo (34:43, PR!), Sara McMillan (36:20), Brittany Freese (36:22), and Danielle Pepitone (37:07). Also on the honor roll for the race to deliver are Dave Caraway (25:16, 4th AG), Mike Grzelecki (26:46, PR!),Mike McMahon (27:07, 5th AG), David Pitches (27:43, 2nd AG), Jeff Schrager (30:42, PR!), and AJ Stachelek (37:39, PR!). Congrats also to Liam O’Rourke (36:51) and Ruth Gursky (50:10) for their brand new PRs! And well done to Joe Lim, who, after finishing the 60k on Saturday, ALSO finished the 4M on Sunday! In the XC 5K, Jill Crouther was the first female Front Runner to cross the line in 26:20. Down in Maryland, somewhere near the Appalachian Trail, three Front Runners dared to take on the JFK 50 mile race. The JFK 50 mile race has its roots in tradition -- a tradition that JFK himself started to test his military officers. These officers had to complete 50 miles in less than 20 hours to keep their commissions. Richard White (10:04:57), Zander Ross, and Tim Guscott (both 10:35:00) showed their stuff and finished in half that time! To do this race justice, this reporter is borrowing the words of Marathon Maniac Zander Ross: This race has become the crown jewel of my running career. The race was an incredible surprise for me. Tim was the best ultra long distance coach I could ever had ask for. Several months ago, while at the Met Opera House, Tim showed me the schedule and my thoughts were, "He’s nuts, there’s no way I can do that!" But after many hours of running, slow, fast, walks, double marathons, back to back marathons in one weekend, four marathons in two weeks and on and on....the time arrived to put ourselves to the real test. The first 15 miles of this race were on a mountain with the most jagged, protruding stones ever. Giant uphills and terrifying downhills, so steep down, that we had to grab on to the trees not to roll down like a snowball. To give you an idea how tough this portion of the race was, it took us close to 4 1/2 hrs just to clear the mountain section. Once on the towpath things got better, but our legs felt the fury of the mountain quite well. For �the next close to 30 miles, the towpath was flat, long and monotonous. It really tested our stamina. And to top it all off, the final 8 miles were on a road, shared with cars, with very little light, and with endless up and down rolling hills. We started in the dark and we finished in the dark. I’ve never exercised for over 10 hrs before.....can you imagine being at the gym for over 10 hrs? Yikes!!! The JFK 50 miler is gonna be one of the best memories of my life, the camaraderie and friendliness of runners and volunteers was like no other. The challenge, determination and the constant fight against sore muscles and mind games that called us to STOP at every step, were constant. It was a great experience, and I really have to thank Tim Guscott for his never ending belief in me and his amazing knowledge and words of encouragement. Without Tim, I would have probably ended it at the bottom of the mountain. Thank you Tim, you are my guiding angel! And BTW, that Richard White is an awesome runner, when I grow up, I want to be like him! Thanks, Zander - Awesome, simply awesome! And finally, not far from here, in the city of brotherly love, Front Runners showed their love for running, their love for each other, and their love for speed! Winding past historic landmarks like Independence Hall, Benjamin Franklin’s Burial Place, the National Constitution Center and the Liberty Bell, through urban neighborhoods such as Old City, University City, South Philadelphia and Manayunk, and along the gorgeous waterfronts of the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers, Philadephia presented both a marathon and half marathon this Sunday. In the marathon, eight Front Runners zoomed through the streets with "Eye of the Tiger" on repeat in their heads: Eddie Valentine cruised to a PR in an astonishing 2:39:39 (BQ); Jerry McDonnell made sub-3 look easy with a 2:58:00 (BQ); Kyle Mammarella showed everyone how to get it done and still look cute - 3:02:45 (BQ); Tom Dunne ran an incredible PR of 3:10:58 (BQ); Ryan Singer suffered through race madness for an awesome result: 3:15:48 (BQ); Albert Chen was all smiles throughout the race for an awesome 3:18:12; Adam Pollack stopped for a photo and still finished in 3:26:47 (PR); Ben Corbett had an awesome first marathon time: 3:41:17; Bernie Janelle smashed her previous PR while qualifying for the Beantown dance in 4:00:38 (BQ and 12:18 PR!), and Michael Jalbert enjoyed the perfect weather and yet another 2010 marathon to finish off in 4:42:53. Dennis Giza (2:05:17), Jonah Nigh (1:41:56) and Ned Russell (1:35:12) took to the mean streets of Philadelphia in the half marathon. Dennis noted that he could not have finished without the FRNY fans! In an amazing show of team spirit, FRNY Cheer Force One was seen all around the Philadelphia Marathon course! Thanks (in no particular order) to David Lin, Jonathan Warner, Rachel Kliegman, Sandi Rowe, Alison McKenna, Steve Waldon, Blossom Coryat, Megan Jenkins, Kelsey Louie, Jeff Werner, Audra Farrell and Cindy Hearing for battling the chilly air to cheer on your fellow runners!

Training Tip As �you begin to add speed work to your workout regimen, keep in mind that you should only increase volume or intensity, not both. So, if you are new to speed work, or if you haven’t done this type of intense work in a while, keep your weekly mileage the same. Increasing both intensity and volume too much can potentially lead to injuries. Wild Women’s Wednesday -- Dec 1st! Come join FRNY for the last Wild Women’s Wednesday of 2010! We will have a special surprise FRNY woman as the guest speaker for announcements that night. Don’t miss it! We will also have a special dinner after it so come join the run and encourage your female friends to come out next Wednesday! It is sure to be a blast. Holiday Gift Basket Time -- Dec. 11th! With your turkey/tofurkey basting away, it’s time (already!) to turn our thoughts to the FRNY Holiday Gift Baskets! Following a year of successful partnership with AIDS Service Center New York, we will be providing this wonderful organization with gift packages to distribute at their holiday party in December. In particular, ASC is looking for adult sized cold-weather gear, including hats, gloves, scarves, and warm-pullovers. FRNY will be donating gear, but feel free to buy an extra set of gloves or hat - the more, the better! We will be collecting items beginning at the Fun Run on Saturday, December 4th, with drop-off available also at the Wednesday night fun run (December 8th). We will gather as a group beginning at 9:00am at the Fun Run on December 11th to wrap packages for ASC. If you have any questions, please contact Les James (les.james0209@gmail.com) or Tom Ward (tpward29@gmail.com). As an added bonus, Sharen Duke the Executive Director of ASC will be joining our fun run on this day and will discuss the mission of the organization as our December speaker of the month. Don’t miss it! FRNY Multisport Initiatives Swimming continues on Monday nights at 8 PM. Please check our calendar for details. Our team has been extended a special deal on wetsuits. Please e-mail us at multisport@frny.org for purchasing details, to share your upcoming race schedule, or to be added to our distribution list for weekly workouts. FRNY Shoe Drive -- Now Through Dec 18th Thank you for continuing to donate your athletic footwear-your contributions have made the drive incredibly successful! Gently worn shoes will be donated to people and "dead" shoes will be recycled. The organizations we are partnering with are: Soles4Souls, Nike ReUse A Shoe and one local running organization still to be determined. A collection box is available @ Rutger’s Church at each Saturday morning and Wednesday night Fun Run for the duration of the drive. The shoe drive is must end on Saturday, Dec 18th and we hope to collect 200 pairs of shoes-that’s about one pair for approximately 1/3 of our current membership and given how often we replace our shoes, most of us probably have more than one pair just collecting dust. For more information about these organizations or if you have a recommendation for one based in the NYC area, please contact Sandi Rowe at women@frny.org. FRNY Clothing Drive -- Now Through Dec 11th To continue in the spirit of giving, Front Runners New York will be collecting gently-used clothing to benefit the Aids Service Center’s Clothing Bank. The ASC Clothing Bank serves to provide one of several basic needs to their clients living with HIV/AIDS. Outer wear and warmer items are especially helpful but all clothing items are welcome. Clothing should be clean and in good condition, folded and in a bag. You may leave your clothing donation near the shoe drive collection box in our closet @ Rutger’s Church. The AIDS Service Center is also the beneficiary of our holiday gift program - (gift wrapping date and more details coming soon). For �more information about the AIDS Service Center, visit http://www.ascnyc.org or contact Sandi Rowe at women@frny.org. FRNY Photo Request Dear Front Runner shutterbugs!

The final points race of the season is the Joe Kleinerman 10K on Sunday, December 5, and it is near capacity. If you’re not already in it, online registration is still available but hurry! While many of you were taking well-deserved breaks from competitive running last weekend to recover from New York and other marathons, a few others were still out there pursuing personal records at all distances. Bernd Erpenbeck took a road trip (or rail trip?) to Long Island for the Rockville Centre 10K on Saturday 11/13, running his fastest 10K of the year, 44:00. On Sunday, Steve Cochran nabbed a new 5K PR of 27:17 (8th place age group finish) at the Bergenfield, NJ 5K. Way to go, gentlemen. Alison McKenna "went on a little top-secret Mission" to Harrisburg, PA over the weekend for the Select Medical Harrisburg Marathon on Sunday. Congratulations to Alison for slicing 2:38 off her marathon PR with a 3:49:27 (10th in age group), and this feat was accomplished barely a month after the Steamtown Marathon! Now, Alison says, it’s time for the off season. Melissa Kelson ran the Outer Banks Marathon on Sunday, from Kitty Hawk to Manteo, North Carolina. She writes that her first marathon, NYC in 2007, had stood as her PR until now, but the record fell in lucky marathon #7. The mostly flat course included 3 miles on sandy trails at mile 10 and a 1-mile bridge with a 4% grade at mile 23. Congratulations to Melissa for a 4:16:51, an 8 minute PR! Also on Sunday, Benjamin Corbett was in Washington, DC, competing in the Capital Running Company Veterans Day 10K in West Potomac Park. Ben nosed out Mayor Adrian Fenty by one second, in 39:20. Pretty fast mayor, but a faster Front Runner! Belated congratulations to long-time member Dorothy Fuscaldo, who was very proud to post a Boston-qualifying 4:26:32 at the NYC Marathon. We’re all proud of Dot as well, for continuing to represent Front Runners as a force in the 60+ age group. Finally, some musings on the NYC marathon experience from former race captain Debbie Li, whose travails, we might add, included getting NYRR to accept her having been on the course at all beyond 5 kilometers, due to a failed timing tag. Debbie writes: "After Saturday’s pancake breakfast, I went home and meditated on ’the reason’ for my running the NYC Marathon. I thought about my family, my friends, cancer, poverty, world hunger, and the fact that it’s simply a cool thing to do. I couldn’t figure it out, and felt increasingly frustrated, until it hit me 9 hours before my corral start: I was running the NYC Marathon for me." "This one reason kept me going - despite how I needed to go to the bathroom since mile one, despite how I hit the dreaded wall at only mile 10, despite how many times my head convinced me to drop out, despite how my right leg froze in spasm between miles 22 and 24 - I took one foot in front of the other, all the way to the finish. Because this was my race. This was my marathon." Well said, Debbie. Like Koach Kelsey says, you can think of 100 reasons to stop, but you only need one good reason to continue. That’s it for another week of great racing! See you on the roads and indoor Mondo tracks! This Sunday, NYRR and God’s Love We Deliver present their annual Race to Deliver 4-miler benefiting GLWD to provide meals to home-bound New Yorkers suffering from serious illnesses. Online registration is closed, but the Race to Deliver site states that in-person registration is still available. So, come race, or come out and cheer your teammates! More information is available here: https://www.glwd.org/race/ Big Thanks to Everyone Who Supported the Homocoming and Hoe-Down We had great attendance at both of our Homocoming events last �weekend and managed to collect more than $3,100 for The Trevor Project. That’s truly amazing everyone! Special thanks to Marty Tracy and Andy Chiller for organizing Friday’s Homocoming and to Megan Jenkins for making the Hoe-Down a huge success! FRNY New Jersey Social Tomorrow! For those of you who live west of the Hudson River, we’re having a happy hour event in New Jersey. Join us TOMORROW Friday, Nov. 19 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at Star Bar in Jersey City. Star Bar is a gay-owned neighborhood bar with a mixed but mostly gay and lesbian clientele, in the heart of Jersey City’s historic Downtown brownstone district. It’s a friendly place with an interesting and extensive beer selection. The owner promises drink specials for Front Runners and their friends, so feel free to bring guests. Star Bar is close to major highways and train lines. And it’s minutes from Manhattan by public transit, so New Yorkers are welcome, too. Star Bar is at 34 Wayne St., Jersey City (http://tinyurl.com/2bmvcta), around the corner from the Grove Street PATH Station. From the World Trade Center, take a Newark-bound PATH train two stops to Grove. From Midtown or the Village, board a Journal Square-bound PATH train along Sixth Avenue at 33rd, 23rd, 14th or Ninth streets, or at Christopher and Hudson streets, and take it to Grove. (Do not take trains marked Hoboken). From Newark Penn Station, use the World Trade Center-bound PATH train. If you’re coming by car, the Turnpike and Routes 1 and 9 are nearby. There are garages in the neighborhood. Directions: http://www.gostarbar.com/location.htm 2011 Board Elections - Ballots Will Go Out Tomorrow! Everyone who was a dues-paying member as of November 4, 2010, will be receiving a ballot tomorrow for the 2011 Board elections. There will also be a ballot for voting on the proposed changes to the FRNY bylaws. The instructions will be explicit and we encourage everyone to vote! Results will be announced on Sat., December 4th after the fun run. Paper ballots will be available on request. Who are the candidates for the offices? President: Dane Grams; Megan Jenkins Men’s VP: Dave Lin Women’s VP: Sandi Rowe Treasurer: Anthony Ng Secretary: Dan Gallagher (2) Directors at Large: Andrew Butler; AJ Stachelek Click here to read their candidate statements. New Long Distance Training Program In addition to Kelsey’s Armory training sessions (described below), we are starting a new program that focuses on aerobic training for distance runners. We will be holding an introductory discussion about the training program following Saturday’s fun run at Rutgers for all interested. Building an aerobic base takes patience but is a great way to improve endurance for long distance running. Aerobic training uses heart rate monitoring to guide your workouts, first building a base and then developing a sustainable progression in speed and distance. This will differ greatly from traditional speedwork, particularly in the early stages where you will need to first train slower to eventually get faster. While this training can work for anyone, it might be especially beneficial in any of the following circumstances: You’ve been training regularly and stopped progressing or feel like you’ve plateaued, had difficulty finishing or meeting your goal in recent marathons or other long distance races, are returning to training after a recent injury or have had injuries in recent years while �training/racing or are simply looking for an alternative to track training or want to try a new long distance training regimen. We will begin training next week - if you are interested in hearing more, please come to Saturday’s fun run or send a note to longruns@frny.org. Armory Season In Full Swing! The winter training season at the Armory (168th and Fort Washington) has begun, and we have a very eclectic and fun group in attendance this year! And it is not too late to join the team in the indoor training ... Sessions are Tues/Thurs nights through mid-April. Please come at 7:45 to warm-up as the sessions will begin promptly at 8 PM. The Armory is offering season membership for $300 (rate of $200 for students) or pay-as-you go for $15 per session. If cost is an issue and you need assistance, please contact Dave Lin (davelin76@gmail.com), Rob Lennon (president@frny.org) or Kelsey Louie (coach@frny.org). We want this to be available to all members regardless of finances and can work with people but please reach out to us as soon as possible. This is a great way to train with the team through the winter season! If you have additional questions, please reach out to Dave, Rob or Kelsey. Awards Night Nominations Time!

FRNY Shoe Drive -- Now Through Dec 18th Thank you for continuing to donate your athletic footwear-your contributions have made the drive incredibly successful! Gently worn shoes will be donated to people and "dead" shoes will be recycled. The organizations we are partnering with are: Soles4Souls, Nike ReUse A Shoe and one local running organization still to be determined. A collection box is available @ Rutger’s Church at each Saturday morning and Wednesday night Fun Run for the duration of the drive. The shoe drive is must end on Saturday, Dec 18th and we hope to collect 200 pairs of shoes-that’s about one pair for approximately 1/3 of our current membership and given how often we replace our shoes, most of us probably have more than one pair just collecting dust. For more information about these organizations or if you have a recommendation for one based in the NYC area, please contact Sandi Rowe at women@frny.org. FRNY Clothing Drive -- Now Through Dec 11th To continue in the spirit of giving, Front Runners New York will be collecting gently-used clothing to benefit the Aids Service Center’s Clothing Bank. The ASC Clothing Bank serves to provide one of several basic needs to their clients living with HIV/AIDS. Outer wear and warmer items are especially helpful but all clothing items are welcome. Clothing should be clean and in good condition, folded and in a bag. You may leave your clothing donation near the shoe �drive collection box in our closet @ Rutger’s Church. The AIDS Service Center is also the beneficiary of our holiday gift program - (gift wrapping date and more details coming soon). For more information about the AIDS Service Center, visit http://www.ascnyc.org or contact Sandi Rowe at women@frny.org.

FRNY magic was out in full force this weekend! A hearty congratulations to our members who completed the marathon this past Sunday. You were a true inspiration! Please read the race report for the full story. Many thanks also to the many volunteers at the pasta dinner Friday night, the pancake breakfast Saturday morning and at the 24-mile water station. And kudos to the scores of members who were out hooting and hollering along the course. FRNY put on three professional-level events this past weekend thanks to the combined efforts and talents of our members. Truly outstanding! Weekly Race Report Mythical marathon magic cast its spell on hundreds of Front Runners this past Sunday. 117 Front Runners claimed the five boroughs, step-by-step, stride-by-stride to compete in the 41st NYC Marathon 2010. Inspiring millions of spectators along the way, our FRNY women and men represented the spectrum of racers from setting personal records, accomplishing their first times, tenth times, qualifying for Boston, hanging on for dear life, doing it for just a good ’ole time, or spanking the 138,435 feet of pavement, concrete and steel, our men and women displayed gritty determination throughout the marathon. Despite the gruel, despite the pain and despite any doubts they might have had, our runners dug deep and made us all proud to be a part of the Front Runner team. Runners, you trained hard, stayed fierce and conquered our beloved city! You are heroes and champions! We also shout out the numerous FRNY men and women who volunteered at the 24-mile water station lead by Marty Tracy and Miles Harter. One runner passing through even remarked, "I don’t want to stereotype but...this WAS the neatest water station on the entire course!" On marathon day, you never know how it’s going to go down but here is how some of the numbers stacked up. A remarkable 70 runners crossed the line in under 4 hours - and, amazingly, 8 of our runners placed in the top 1,000 overall out of more than 45,000 �runners. Stallions that led the FRNY men’s pack and scored a phenomenal 7th place finish among all teams competing include Brad Gayman (2:40:06 BQ!), John MacConnell (2:41:53 BQ!) and Richard Velazquez (2:45:13 BQ!). Our Men’s Masters team (40+) also performed stunningly, bringing home a 5th place finish led by Jason Rudman (2:51:26 PR! BQ!), Ramon Frisneda (2:57:30 PR! BQ!) and Christopher Stoia (3:00:43 BQ!).

BQ!) and Birthday Crown wearing Rachel Kliegman (3:37:51 PR! BQ!). Rounding out our top five Debbie Li was a debut dynamo (3:48:20 First Timer/PR!) and Janice Jabido slashed over 25 minutes off her last marathon time for a stunning PR (4:04:23).

Elizabeth Hines (5:51:37) Stacey Cooper (6:25:30 First Timer/PR!) Marathons are transformative experiences that force runners to push themselves beyond their boundaries. They can be healing, renewing and sometimes life saving. On Sunday, it literally was for one man. Mickey reports that, "Upon finishing the marathon which included running the fastest last 6 miles of our lives to beat 5 hours - Les James and I were...barely moving when there was a sudden commotion �in the dense crowd nearby." Still dazed from the 26.2, they immediately went to the crowd when somebody said, "He is down!" Mickey confirms, " I found a blue breathless and pulseless gentleman on the ground coding. I pushed him onto his back and began rescue breathing (mouth to mouth, without equipment!) while another bystander started chest compressions alongside me. I was yelling out for equipment that obviously wasn’t coming. I ordered someone else standing there to elevate his legs as high as possible immediately. After 3 rounds of CPR I was about to start round 4 with 2 breaths when he suddenly opened his eyes and stared at me and began speaking French!" International-Gay-Goodwill-Ambassador anyone? Mickey concludes, "As an anesthesiologist, I often encounter these situations at work- but not during a marathon, in a crowd, with no drugs or equipment, immediately after running 26.2 miles myself!!! I am so glad I could help him." Great job killing 5 hours and saving a man’s life! An honorary mention goes out to FRNY newcomer Martha Dao who was a guide for Achilles International. Martha reports that she had, "...an amazing experience running/walking with athlete Jose Montanez, a 39 year old blind man." She was one of four guides for him and had a learning experience of a lifetime! Martha cheerfully explains, "We all crossed the finish line together (proudly 6:27:40) holding hands and with tears in our eyes!!!" Thanks for sharing the love Martha! Wondering about the winners of "Guess Your Marathon Time" game? The guesses are in, the races have been run and the judges have declared: 1st place: Rich Velazquez - 13 seconds off (actual 2:45:13/guess 2:45), 2nd place: Michael White - 24 seconds off (actual 2:49:36/guess 2:50) and 3rd place: John Van Cott - 35 seconds off (actual 3:16:27/guess 3:15:52). Congratulations! Not only did you do great at the marathon this past Sunday - you also guessed better than anyone else on your finish time. On Sunday Nov 7th, the marathon wasn’t the only game in town. David Pitches hammered the Gotham Cup Duathlon in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, NY. Run 3.1 miles, Bike 14 miles, Run 3.1 miles. He finished in an astonishing 1:45:50 for a first place age group 65-69! Congratulations on an amazing race Dave! On Friday, we had a small but tough crew competing in the NYRR 5M. Hats, bandanas and headbands off to our top five women composed of Faith Tempest (43:18), Rachel Hitchcock (46:48), AJ Stachelek (47:33 PR!) and an outstandingly awesome 6th place age finish by Lenore Beaky (1:05:28). On the Men’s team we give a triple axel with a pirouette to the top five members composed of Patrick Guilfoyle (32:04, 3rd place Age!), Drew Zimmerman (33:30), Jens Tobiasson (33:53), Sean Weissbart (35:32) and Daniel Trimbach (37:25, 3rd place Age!). A special, "You rock!" goes out to Sam Lafata who had a 2nd Age Place finish (59:55). 2011 Board Elections - Meet the Candidates this Saturday, November 13!

The "It Gets Better" shoot was so successful that FRNY has more than ample footage for its upcoming needs. Many thanks again to all who shared their stories that day and to Dave Lin for organizing! FRNY Shoe Drive Continues We have started collecting members’ running and athletic footwear! Gently worn shoes will be donated to people and "dead" shoes will be recycled. The organizations we are partnering with are: Soles4Souls, Nike ReUse A Shoe and one local running organization still to be determined. A collection box will be available @ Rutger’s Church at each Saturday morning and Wednesday night Fun Run for the duration of the drive. The shoe drive is limited to the next 90 days and we hope to collect 200 pairs of shoes-that’s about one pair for approximately 1/3 of our current membership and given how often we replace our shoes, most of us probably have more than one pair just collecting dust. For more information about these organizations or if you have a recommendation for one based in the NYC area, please contact Sandi Rowe at women@frny.org. New �Jersey Social For those of you who live west of the Hudson River, we’re having a happy hour event in New Jersey. Join us on Friday, Nov. 19 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at Star Bar in Jersey City. Star Bar is a gay-owned neighborhood bar with a mixed but mostly gay and lesbian clientele, in the heart of Jersey City’s historic Downtown brownstone district.

Star Bar is close to major highways and train lines. And it’s minutes from Manhattan by public transit, so New Yorkers are welcome, too. Star Bar is at 34 Wayne St., Jersey City (http://tinyurl.com/2bmvcta), around the corner from the Grove Street PATH Station. From the World Trade Center, take a Newark-bound PATH train two stops to Grove. From Midtown or the Village, board a Journal Square-bound PATH train along Sixth Avenue at 33rd, 23rd, 14th or Ninth streets, or at Christopher and Hudson streets, and take it to Grove. (Do not take trains marked Hoboken). From Newark Penn Station, use the World Trade Center-bound PATH train. If you’re coming by car, the Turnpike and Routes 1 and 9 are nearby. There are garages in the neighborhood. Directions: http://www.gostarbar.com/location.htm Come Join FRNY for the Boston to P-Town Relay FRNY is sending a relay team back to the Cape Relay.

There truly is no better way to see the inner workings of the club and to help direct the club into a brighter future than through service on the board. There are seven positions -- president, women’s VP, men’s VP, treasurer, secretary, and two directors-at-large -- within the FRNY board. If you have any questions about what the positions entail, please reach out to our elections officers -- Da Ping Luo (dapingluo@mac.com) or Tom Malcolm (malcolm@pbworld.com. The process for the elections will be that candidates for any office should submit a statement of intent to Tom and Da by tomorrow Friday, November 5th at 5 PM. The slate of candidates will be announced at the club’s pancake breakfast on Saturday, Nov 6th. As a new feature this year, we will be using Saturday, November 13th as a "Meet the Candidates" forum after the fun run. The candidates will be our November Speakers of the Month! Members will have the opportunity to meet the candidates and to ask them questions about what their goals and aspirations are for FRNY. We hope that everyone can make it! Voting will occur in late November, and the results will be announced on Sat., December 4th after the fun run. Details on all that will be forthcoming. Weekly Race Report �It’s taper madness time!!!

FRNY Shoe Drive Continues We have started collecting members’ running and athletic footwear! Gently worn shoes will be donated to people and "dead" shoes will be recycled. The organizations we are partnering with are: Soles4Souls, Nike ReUse A Shoe and one local running organization still to be determined. A collection box will be available @ Rutger’s Church at each Saturday morning and Wednesday night Fun Run for the duration of the drive. The shoe drive is limited to the next 90 days and we hope to collect 200 pairs of shoes-that’s about one pair for approximately 1/3 of our current membership and given how often we replace our shoes, most of us probably have more than one pair just collecting dust. For more information about these organizations or if you have a recommendation for one based in the NYC area, please contact Sandi Rowe at women@frny.org. Multi-Sport Update Rachel Cutler & Rosario Gennaro Monday night workouts will remain as swimming every Monday at 8 PM. Watch for extra long spin sessions on Sunday evenings as winter sets in.

Please take a moment to verify that your team affiliation is listed as FRNY by clicking here http://bit.ly/frny2010marathoners. This is a points race and you will not be scored as an FRNY member unless your team affiliation is marked. If you are registered for the marathon but not listed here, please email racecaptains@frny.org, and they will give you further instructions. Marathon Weekend Is Upon Us! FRNY has a full weekend of marathon activities for runners and spectators. We have our pasta dinner at 6 PM on Friday, November 5th on the 5th floor of Rutgers and our pancake breakfast on Saturday from 10-12 the next morning. These events are FREE to all! Of course, we are also organizing the water station again this year at the 24-mile mark for Marathon Sunday. For details, see the volunteering section below. We will also have a special Guessing Game for members of Front Runners New York running the NYC marathon. People can submit their projected finish times to Mike and Dave on Fri night or Sat AM, and prizes will go to the three members with finishing times closest to their predictions. Weekly Race Report �With less than a fortnight before the 2010 NYC Marathon, all is fairly quiet on the NYRR front. But not for some fearless Front Runners! This weekend Justine Repaci ran in the Brock Trot 10k in Lenox, MA finishing 7th place in her age group! She tore through the course full of fall foliage in 54:09. This race honors Brock Wilkerson and raises funds and awareness for lung cancer treatment. Awesome! Over in Randall’s Island, Bernd Erpenbeck ran the Run the River 5k. The course took runners outside Icahn Stadium along the island’s beautiful waterfront pathways, making a grand finish on the 400-meter Mondo surface running track with dramatic views of the East River and Manhattan skyline in the distance. Bernd finished in a speedy 21:46, earning him first in his age group! Congrats, Bernd!! And fearless should be her middle name... After completing two 24-hour relays through New England this year, Michelle Nolan again raced in New England this weekend. This time, in the Head of the Charles -- the world’s largest 2-day rowing event with over 8,000 competitors and 300,000 spectators. Front Runners Marie Tracy, AJ Stachelek, and Mike Terry were among those cheering her on throughout the challenging 5k course. (It was very much appreciated!!) She sat bow seat (starboard) in the University of New Hampshire’s Women’s Alumni eight and her team placed 14th with a time of 19:58.86, just a half a second out of 13th. During the race, the team reportedly "walked through" two boats passing UMass on the outside during a turn! Not bad for a crew whose first time rowing together was the 5k warm up to the starting line. For those who have never seen a race, here’s a picture-that look on Nolan’s face is sheer agony. Nolan reports that her rowing season is now over and we hope to see more of her back on the roads! Way to Row! Nice to have you back to running! And apologies all around, but this reporter needs to note that one fine young runner was inadvertently left out of last week’s report! Ryan Singer was also in Atlantic City last weekend - along with fellow Front Runner Dane Grams. Ryan completed the half marathon in a super speedy 1:32:55 for an 11/119 age group finish. Awesome job, Ryan! This Sunday is NYC marathon week’s annual kickoff - the Poland Spring Marathon Kickoff 5 Miler. The race is sold out, but come out and cheer on your fellow Front Runners in this annual favorite. If you’re not running the marathon, but want to be a part, there are lots of ways to join in the fun! Look for more info in the Gram about Pasta Dinner, Pancake Breakfast and volunteering at the (in)famous 24 mile water station! Volunteers Needed for Marathon Weekend Volunteers are needed for several marathon weekend events. You’re help is crucial in making this weekend a banner success for FRNY! Friday Night Pasta Dinner We are all set for volunteers! See everyone at 6 PM on the 5th Floor of Rutgers for dinner! Make that One Order of 500 Pancakes & a Boat Load of Fruit Salad, please...OMG! We’re looking for a few good volunteers! Yes, we’re looking for a few more volunteers to round out our list of 2 dozen or so volunteers to help out with the Annual Front Runner New York Pancake Breakfast on Marathon Weekend. This event has been a 20+ year tradition at FRNY. Come show off your culinary skills in making a fruit salad or practice your pancake flipping. People are also needed to set up and to clean up. It is a great way to make new friends, see friends from the past and help give back to the club. Date: Saturday, November 6th Time: 9:00 AM Location: Rutgers Church - 5th Floor Kitchen & Auditorium There will be a sign up sheet at the Saturday run or you may email Mike McMahon or Dave Laurence at: cspotrun2u@gmail.com (please be sure to also include a phone number where we can reach you). Thanks for volunteering, Dave & Mike FRNY’s Famous 24-Mile Water Station On Marathon Sunday, watch the marathon from a premier perch right inside Central Park! And you can cheer your teammates on and help them stay hydrated! Volunteers will be needed from early morning through early evening and will �work in shifts. Please contact Marty Tracy at marie.b.tracy@gmail.com or Miles Harter at wmilesh@hotmail.com for more details. 2011 Board Elections Election season is once again upon us! There truly is no better way to see the inner workings of the club and to help direct the club into a brighter future than through service on the board. There are seven positions -- president, women’s VP, men’s VP, treasurer, secretary, and two directors-at-large -- within the FRNY board. If you have any questions about what the positions entail, please reach out to our elections officers -- Da Ping Luo (dapingluo@mac.com) or Tom Malcolm (malcolm@pbworld.com). The process for the elections will be that candidates for any office should submit a statement of intent to Tom and Da by Friday, November 5th at 5 PM. The slate of candidates will be announced at the club’s pancake breakfast on Sat., Nov 6th. As a new feature this year, we will be using Sat., Nov 13th as a "Meet the Candidates" forum after the fun run. The candidates will be our November Speakers of the Month! Members will have the opportunity to meet the candidates and to ask them questions about what their goals and aspirations are for FRNY. We hope that everyone can make it! Voting will occur in late November, and the results will be announced on Sat., December 4th after the fun run. Details on all that will be forthcoming. Weekly Long Run By now, all running the NYC Marathon should be in taper mode. Recommended mileage for the last week is 8 miles. We will do a variation of the Central Park loop to once again run the last few miles of the marathon course. For those running Philly or other later marathons, additional loops of the park may be your best bet, but feel free to email us and we can provide some alternatives. Start will be from Rutgers at 9:30am sharp on Saturday. The weekly long run email will have more course details and lots of marathon taper and recovery tips. If you are not on the long run email list and want the info please email us at longruns@frny.org. This week’s run will be the last organized long run of the fall season. If you have a marathon later than NYC and need any tips on suggested running distances, courses, etc. please email us at longruns@frny.org and we will be happy to help. We will be starting a new long run training group focusing on spring marathons - look for details in an upcoming Front Runner Gram. Wild Women’s Wednesday for November Wednesday, November 3rd is the first Wednesday of the month, which means that FRNY celebrates with its wild women! We make a special push to get as many women to the run as possible, and there will be a special surprise woman host that evening. Dinner after the run will be ladies’ choice. Hope you can make it! Info Session on Armory Season -- Nov. 9th The winter training season at the Armory is fast approaching. The indoor track at 168th Street and Fort Washington will be open the week of November 16th. The club will be having an informational session on the indoor training program -- with pizza, beer and soft drinks -- on Tuesday November 9th. Stay tuned for further details. Homocoming Fundraiser on Fri., Nov 12th Homocoming has returned with a vengeance! Please join Front Runners as we unite with eight other New York City Gay Sports Leagues in supporting HOMOCOMING 2010, a fundraiser to benefit the Trevor Project (http://www.thetrevorproject.org). The party will take place on Friday, November 12th at 9 p.m. at Rock Bar (185 Christopher Street). There will be a $5 suggested donation at the door, a 50/50 raffle, $3 shot specials and, of course, an election for Homocoming King and Queen (with each vote costing $1), with all proceeds going to benefit the Trevor Project. And dressing up is encouraged!...Extra points (and prizes!) for anyone showing up in their best homecoming gear! So come join us to party, dance to one more Journey song and show your support for The Trevor Project. We look forward to seeing you! Please do not hesitate to contact Marty (marie.b.tracy@gmail.com) or Andy (andychiller@gmail.com) with any questions about �the event. Learn to Two-Step, No Experience Necessary! Join FRNY at the Big Apple Ranch (www.bigappleranch.com) on Saturday, Nov 13 at 8 PM! Proceeds from the door and bar will support FRNY’s charitable work. This year FRNY will be pooling our funds with the Homocoming Fundraiser to benefit Trevor Project (see above). Even if you have two left feet you will have a great time, so break out your boots or grab your ten-gallon hat, or just come as you are to Big Apple Ranch, located at 39 West 19th Street at 8 PM on Nov. 13. The theme is Boots, Bras, and Boxers, so wear your prettiest panties, if you dare. Lessons at 8 PM, employ your new skills on the dance floor at 9 PM. $10 cover charge per person plus the proceeds from drinks and snacks go to FRNY. FRNY Fun Run on Film! On Saturday, Nov. 13th at the fun run, a videographer will be capturing footage of our regular Saturday morning fun run and breakfast. This footage will become a short promotional video that will be available through the FRNY web site and distributed to our sponsors. If you don’t wish to be a part of the video and you do wish to participate in the fun run on Nov. 13th, please e-mail Megan Jenkins at mbjenkins@gmail.com. FRNY Shoe Drive Continues We have started collecting members’ running and athletic footwear! Gently worn shoes will be donated to people and "dead" shoes will be recycled. The organizations we are partnering with are: Soles4Souls, Nike ReUse A Shoe and one local running organization still to be determined. A collection box will be available @ Rutger’s Church at each Saturday morning and Wednesday night Fun Run for the duration of the drive. The shoe drive is limited to the next 90 days and we hope to collect 200 pairs of shoes-that’s about one pair for approximately 1/3 of our current membership and given how often we replace our shoes, most of us probably have more than one pair just collecting dust. For more information about these organizations or if you have a recommendation for one based in the NYC area, please contact Sandi Rowe at women@frny.org. FRNY Bylaws Amendments FRNY is seeking to bring its bylaws up to date. Click here for the memo that was posted on July 28, 2010 for detailed information about the process and time line of the 2010 proposed bylaws changes. Click here to see a draft of the proposed changes, side by side with the original language. The draft is open for comments and feed back through October 30, at which point a final draft will be published for the club’s consideration. The membership will vote to accept or reject changes on the same ballot as 2011 board elections. For questions, comments or more information about the proposed changes or the voting process, please contact Megan Jenkins at directoratlarge1@frny.org. Multi-Sport Update Rachel Cutler & Rosario Gennaro Please let your voice be heard, as we determine our Monday night workouts. Do you want to keep swimming every Monday or do you want to alternate swimming and spinning? Right now swimming continues every Monday at 8 PM. Now is the time to start thinking about your schedule for next year. Please check our calendar for workout details and e-mail multisport@frny.org to vote, race suggestions, or to join our distribution list. Upcoming Races: November 7 Prospect Park Duathlon run 3.1 /bike 13.5 /run 3.1 Click here for more information NYC Triathlon Registration Information Registration for the NYC Triathlon opens November 1st. This year it’s a lottery, details can be found at www.nyctri.com. However if you are a USAT member you will get an email before midnight on 10/27 and will have a chance to bypass the lottery and pre-register for a limited number of guaranteed entries. So watch your inbox. If you register for this race please list FRNY as your team (it has been added to the list of official teams at the �race). Notice that the lottery mechanism has a "group" option in which groups of 2-5 people are considered as a "single unit" so that either all or none are selected (this is for family members or friends who are interested in doing the race only if all the other people do it - this is not for relays). I asked for clarifications on how this is going to work and the organizers told me that a a group of five would get one "ball in the hopper" rather than five balls. However, if that ball comes up, it’s worth five registrations. FRNY Photo Request Dear Front Runner shutterbugs!

We’re looking for photos to populate our pages in the annual report and to include in our award nights slideshow presentation.

Weekly �Race Report Marathon mania continued last weekend with a sextet of marathon maniacs running in Rhode Island, New Jersey, Ohio, and Turkey. Congratulations to Michael Cestaro for his 3:58:05 at the Amica Newport Marathon on Sunday 10/16 over a scenic, rolling course past famous mansions and along the Atlantic coast of Newport Island. Kudos (κύδος, praise, in Greek) to Dane Grams for his seventh 26.2, the Atlantic City Marathon on Sunday 10/17, in a zippy 3:37:54. Also on Sunday John Boggess ran the Nationwide Better Health Columbus Marathon, in 4:32:36. Wherever John is running, we expect to find Jeff Schrager, and Jeff was right there exercising the half-marathon option, in 1:51:17. Congratulations to all! Those megamarathon maniacs Tim Guscott, Zander Ross, and Richard Ervais ran the Istanbul Eurasia Marathon on Sunday, a 26.2-mile tour of two continents linked by a suspension bridge over the Bosphorus. Tebrikler! Congratulations! Zander accompanied Tim in another training marathon at 4:05:45; Richard paced his friend George to come in at about 5:45:00.

The race included a 1500 meter swim in beautiful Lake Pinehurst, 30 miles of cycling over challenging terrain, and a tough 10K run on rolling hills past beautiful homes, the lake, and some of the Pinehurst golf courses. Congratulations, Melissa! Moving back in time, to Saturday October 9 to be precise, Diane Westerback ran the Healthy Harvest 5K sponsored by the Ladies Auxiliary of the Walker Valley (NY) Fire Department. (Could it be more all-American?) Her excellent 28:40 made her the fifth woman finisher, and second in the (rather broad and unconventional) 41-55 age group. Congrats, Diane! Still longer ago, on Saturday September 25, Richard Ervais and Zander Ross rendezvoused in London to run the WARR, World Airline Road Race, a 10K race for airline employees and families that is run every September in a different country around the world, and is hosted by the main airline of that country, British Airways this year. Richard took 4th place in his age group with a 42:44, and Zander clocked a 47:13. Next year it is American Airlines’ turn to host the race, and because they are based in Texas, the race will be in Grapevine, TX. There is no NYRR race this weekend, and the Marathon Kickoff 5-miler on October 31 has sold out. The next NYRR club points race is, of course, the marathon on November 7. Happy tapering and fine-tuning to all who are tapering. See you on the roads! Volunteers Needed for Marathon Weekend Volunteers are needed for several marathon weekend events. You’re help is crucial in making this weekend a banner success for FRNY! Friday Night Pasta Dinner If you are interested in helping out with the pasta dinner on the Friday night of marathon weekend (11/5), please write to Dane Grams at danegrams@yahoo.com. The dinner is at 6:00 PM and volunteers would be needed to arrive in advance of that time. Make that One Order of 500 Pancakes & a Boat Load of Fruit Salad, please...OMG! We’re looking for a few good volunteers! Yes, we’re looking for a few more volunteers to round out our list of 2 dozen or so volunteers to help out with the Annual Front Runner New York Pancake Breakfast on Marathon Weekend. This event has been a 20+ year tradition at FRNY. Come show off your culinary skills in making a fruit salad or practice your pancake flipping. People are also needed to set up and to clean up. It is a great way to make new friends, see friends from the past and help give back to the club. Date: Saturday, November 6th Time: 9:00 AM Location: Rutgers Church - 5th Floor Kitchen & Auditorium There will be a sign up sheet at the Saturday run or you may email Mike McMahon or Dave Laurence at: cspotrun2u@gmail.com (please be sure to also include a phone number where we can reach you).

And you can cheer your teammates on and help them stay hydrated! Volunteers will be needed from early morning through early evening and will work in shifts. Please contact Marty Tracy at marie.b.tracy@gmail.com or Miles Harter at wmilesh@hotmail.com for more details. 2011 Board Elections Election season is once again upon us! There truly is no better way to see the inner workings of the club and to help direct the club into a brighter future than through service on the board. There are seven positions -- president, women’s VP, men’s VP, treasurer, secretary, and two directors-at-large -- within the FRNY board. If you have any questions about what the positions entail, please reach out to our elections officers -- Da Ping Luo (dapingluo@mac.com) or Tom Malcolm (malcolm@pbworld.com). The process for the elections will be that candidates for any office should submit a statement of intent to Tom and Da by Friday, November 5th at 5 PM. The slate of candidates will be announced at the club’s pancake breakfast on Sat., Nov 6th. As a new feature this year, we will be using Sat., Nov 13th as a "Meet the Candidates" forum after the fun run. The candidates will be our November Speakers of the Month! Members will have the opportunity to meet the candidates and to ask them questions about what their goals and aspirations are for FRNY. We hope that everyone can make it! Voting will occur in late November, and the results will be announced on Sat., December 4th after the fun run. Details on all that will be forthcoming. Weekly Long Run Big thanks to all of the volunteers and runners who made last week’s Blue Line Run a big success -particularly Darin Soler for organizing, Zach Johnson for hosting, Jim McCarrick and Steve Waldon for providing bike support and Rob Lyons, Lori Braun, Cesar Jesena, IJ Frame, Bryce Wunder, Drew Gulley, Patty Sequeira and Yaryna Wynar for providing vehicle/fluid station support. Somehow we managed to get over 100 runners from Park Slope to the finish line at Central Park without incident! For those running NYC, after your last 20 mile effort, it’s time to taper. This week we will be doing a 15-mile run with TWO crossings of the Queensboro bridge plus another run over the last few miles of the marathon course. We want all runners to feel strong and comfortable with the toughest parts of the course: Queensboro and 5th Ave. We will start Saturday at 8:30 am sharp from the home of Miles Harter (253 West 73 St., Apt. 10). And for more details, taper tips or alternate distances, look for the long run email (sign up below if you’re not already included) or send us a note at longruns@frny.org.

Come join our Brooklyn contingent for a fun run in beautiful Prospect Park on Tuesday, October 26th! We’re making a special push that night to have as many Manhattanites as possible, and there will be a bag drop provided by Karl Rutter (he’ll have his car on site). We’ll meet at 7PM at the 3rd Street and Prospect Park West for our run through Prospect Park (about 3.4 miles). Meet near the 3rd Street entrance to the park on Prospect Park West starting at 7 PM. We’ll take off for our loop at 7:15 PM. Everyone will have dinner together after -- hope to see you there! FRNY Shoe Drive Continues We have started collecting members’ running and athletic footwear! Gently worn shoes will be donated to people and "dead" shoes will be recycled. The organizations we are partnering with are: Soles4Souls, Nike ReUse A Shoe and one local running organization still to be determined. A collection box will be available @ Rutger’s Church at each Saturday morning and Wednesday night Fun Run for the duration of the drive. The shoe drive is limited to the next 90 days and we hope to collect 200 pairs of shoes-that’s about one pair for approximately 1/3 of our current membership and given how often we replace our shoes, most of us probably have more than one pair just collecting dust. For more information about these organizations or if you �have a recommendation for one based in the NYC area, please contact Sandi Rowe at women@frny.org. FRNY Bylaws Amendments FRNY is seeking to bring its bylaws up to date. Click here for the memo that was posted on July 28, 2010 for detailed information about the process and time line of the 2010 proposed bylaws changes. Click here to see a draft of the proposed changes, side by side with the original language. The draft is open for comments and feed back through October 30, at which point a final draft will be published for the club’s consideration. The membership will vote to accept or reject changes on the same ballot as 2011 board elections. For questions, comments or more information about the proposed changes or the voting process, please contact Megan Jenkins at directoratlarge1@frny.org. Multi-Sport Update Rachel Cutler & Rosario Gennaro Please let your voice be heard, as we determine our Monday night workouts. Do you want to keep swimming every Monday or do you want to alternate swimming and spinning? Right now swimming continues every Monday at 8 PM. Now is the time to start thinking about your schedule for next year. Please check our calendar for workout details and e-mail multisport@frny.org to vote, race suggestions, or to join our distribution list. Upcoming Races: November 7 Prospect Park Duathlon run 3.1 /bike 13.5 /run 3.1 Click here for more information NYC Triathlon Registration Information Registration for the NYC Triathlon opens November 1st. This year it’s a lottery, details can be found at www.nyctri.com. However if you are a USAT member you will get an email before midnight on 10/27 and will have a chance to bypass the lottery and pre-register for a limited number of guaranteed entries. So watch your inbox. If you register for this race please list FRNY as your team (it has been added to the list of official teams at the race). Notice that the lottery mechanism has a "group" option in which groups of 2-5 people are considered as a "single unit" so that either all or none are selected (this is for family members or friends who are interested in doing the race only if all the other people do it - this is not for relays). I asked for clarifications on how this is going to work and the organizers told me that a a group of five would get one "ball in the hopper" rather than five balls. However, if that ball comes up, it’s worth five registrations. FRNY Photo Request Dear Front Runner shutterbugs!

This Sunday (10/17) is the banner event of the long run season - the Blue Line run, covering the last 20 miles of the NYC Marathon course. Runners will make their way from Park Slope through Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Manhattan getting to know the course. The run will be starting on Sunday 10/17 at 8 am sharp from the home of Zachary Johnson and Matthew Harrick in Park Slope (375 13th St #2L, between 6th & 7th Ave). The closest stop by train is the 7th Ave stop for the F /G trains. Exit at 7th Ave and walk south on 7th Ave to 13th St and turn right. The 9th St/4th Ave stop for the D/N/R trains is a half mile away. From there, walk south on 4th Ave, turn left on 13th St. Please allow ample time to travel as it is a Sunday AM! Water stops with Gatorade and other items will be provided along the course and bags will be transported to the finish line at Tavern on the Green in Central Park. We’d like to get a head count of who’s coming so if you plan on attending, please send a note to longruns@frny.org. Please let us know by 5 PM tomorrow -- Friday -- if you plan on attending. Look forward to seeing many of you out there. NYC Marathoners Please Check Your Entry Forms! NYRR has brought it to our attention that not everyone has their team affiliation correctly coded on their NYC marathon entry. Please take a moment to examine your profile on the marathon site and see that your team affiliation is listed as FRNY. This is a points race and you will not be scored as an FRNY member unless your team affiliation is marked. If you have any questions, please write to Rob at president@frny.org. Weekly Race Report Kaboom! Pow! What a weekend of running! Marathon fever swept across the Front Runner ranks as we saw multiple marathon and half marathon competitors striding through the finish line. (Please excuse me but I am shamelessly borrowing lines from Batman circa late 1960s for this week’s Gram.) Just before nine o’clock on a bright, sunny morning in Gotham City, 38 little rascals were boarding ferries, hopping on rafts and swimming through the chilly waters of Upper New York Bay to make their way to Staten Island for the half marathon. Churning, burning, and cranking out �their wild animal within, we applaud our top five women! Swinging across the coast to sweep 1st place for FR women, we salute Lucia Muntean (1:33:04, 7:07 pace, 5th place age, 70.8 AG%). Next was a phenomenal PR by Jill Crouther (1:56:19, 8:53 pace), followed Lynn Canfield who gets a warm and speedy welcome back (1:56:25, 8:54 pace), and proving that Washington Heights is THE place to be, Bernie Janelle (1:58:16, 9:02 pace) and Cindy Hearing (1:58:56, 9:05 pace) round out our top five in style! Way to show Staten Island who are the Queens of the city! Zok! Our top five men all raced Staten Island at supersonic speed with Gabe Benroth leading the pack with a fantastic FR men’s 1st place finish (1:18:44, 6:01 pace, 4th place Age, 75.3 AG%). Next runner to roar through was Kelly Swaim (1:23:14, 6:22 pace, PR!), followed by Jeremy Reiss (1:29:17, 6:49 pace), Anthony Cocciolo (1:29:32, 6:51 pace) and hot on their tail was Benjamin Corbett (1:29:47, 6:52 pace). And I guess I could repeat myself here, way to show Staten Island who are the Queens of the city! Whap! Bringing home Top Ten Age Place finishes for the Staten Island half were the fabulous trio of Paul Grillot (1:35:32, 7:18 pace, 4th place Age), Dave Pitches (1:41:57, 7:47 pace, 3rd place Age, 75.3 AG%) and Scott Emmons (1:51:57, 8:33 pace, 5th place Age). Sock! Seth Richardson, Jens Tobiasson, Blair Ireland, Paul Racine and Stefan Schweinfest completed the NYRR Grand Prix of half marathons within a year by knocking down Staten Island. Ooooof! The Windy City turned into the balmy city during the Chicago Marathon this past Sunday. Chicago is known for its fast and flat course through a scenic tour of lively neighborhoods, ending with a picturesque finish in Grant Park. Stomping the course for FR men were Eddie Valentine (2:42:44, BQ), Rich Velazquez (2:47:19, BQ), Charlie Herschel (3:19:47), and Michael Jalbert (4:43:03). Do you hear first timer Boston Qualifying bells ringing? They’ve been ringing out loud and proud from the Windy (Balmy) City across the Midwest to the Eastern Seaboard for Rachel Hitchcock who PR’d at Chicago by 12+ minutes with a BQ time of 3:38:36. Qualifying for Boston was the goal and you nailed it Rachel! Zok! Biff! Bam! Rachel reports that she was encouraged by the amazingly entertaining Front Runner Chicago water stop at Mile 7ish, tons of cheering people, a couple of guys dressed as the Ambiguously Gay Duo from SNL, her inner Tuesday night hill workout-goddess (and of course her inner Koach Kelsey and Chris Stoia) for chuggin’ up the steep hill that greeted her in the last 500 meters and all the emails and texts from FR women. Rachel gushes that her most significant source of sustenance came from her girlfriend and fellow Front Runner, Cat. "[Her] phenomenal sideline support was all over the course...[Cat] made it to Miles 4, 11, 21, AND 25 to cheer me on - literally almost every step of the way!! Here’s a picture of us at the end ... I am smiling under that visor, really." Mohawk Hudson River Marathon winds along both of these scenic, historic rivers with fall foliage-lined bike paths extending from Schenectady to Albany, NY with an elevation drop of 370 feet. Our first Front Runner, Michael Sanderson had an astonishing finish (2:51:11, BQ), snagging a PR along with 11th place overall. Next in was Michael Benjamin (3:17:41, BQ), followed by Jeff Werner (3:22:42, PR!) and Manja Srinivasaiah (3:28:05, PR!). If that’s not enough excitement, we throw our hats off to Da Ping Luo (3:43:32) for a remarkable 1st marathon, which is of course a PR! Zander Ross and Tim Guscott enjoyed some back-to-back action as they each took on the Hartford Marathon on Saturday followed by the Mohawk Marathon on Sunday. And yes, they ran their 2nd marathon of the weekend faster than their first - Zander (3:55:36, 3:51:55), Tim (3:55:37, 3:51:55) What can I possibly say to make that sound more impressive other than, KaPow!! (And maybe add that they crossed an active rail line at Mohawk Hudson and their race was interrupted by a freight train ... keep the stories coming guys!) Cenk Bulbul zapped the Mohawk Half Marathon with a PR (1:31:14)! After Cenk, Alex Kristofcak (1:50:32) zoomed through the finish line. An unexpected PR came from Jim McCarrick who set out to do the full monty, err, I mean marathon but instead drilled a 1/2-marathon PR! Also PR’ing at the 13.1-mile distance was Drew Gulley in the Westchester Half Marathon (1:41:01). In Hartford, Connecticut, while scaling a tall building, Robin exclaims, "Gee whiz Batman, dropping �in on a drug store might have been easier!" Batman, in his wisdom replies, "Exercise never hurt anyone Robin..." Ali Kliegman knows a thing or two about that. Ali pegged her first marathon in Hartford with an impressive 4:23 finish and is already plotting her next marathon. Her sister Rachel (of Ray K fame) gets mad props from Ali for running her in the last 13.2 miles and was, "the ultimate running companion". "[Rachel] was great at taking orders and was fine with just rambling to me while I grunted back...she handed over ready to eat Clif Shot Gels and wore a shirt saying, ’This is my sister Ali’s first marathon!’ Hollllaaaa! A vegan cake a la mode with a side dish of candy goes out to you Ali for a fantastic first marathon! Zzzzzzwap! In addition to cheering for Ali along the way, Sandi Rowe netted another 13.1 event with the Hartford Half Marathon (1:56:49). Busy beaver that she is, the next day Sandi scrambled through the First Annual NYC Barefoot Race on Governor’s Island. She reports, "Not timed but there was a ’wild persistence hunt’ up and around the island where we scaled walls and climbed trees." Zlonk! Zowie! Marathon maniac Alison McKenna reports yet another 26.2 under her belt. She ran the Steamtown Marathon on Sunday, which goes from Forest City to Scranton, PA. Although she never was able to get on BQ pace and her legs decided later that they didn’t like the marathon idea, she still finished in an awesome 4:18:24. "I’ll get that BQ at some point..." That she completely forgot to put on sunscreen best sums up the day (though she somehow didn’t really get sunburned). Alison also reports that Steamtown is the best organized/best spectators of any marathon she has run (better than NY) and recommends that everyone run it someday. Ka-plow! Finally, to round out a long holiday weekend, four Front Runner women overran the streets of Boston in beautiful, cool weather on Monday with more than 7,000 other dames to complete the Tufts 10K for Women. Setting Beantown a blaze were Leah Serinsky (46:18), Katrina Amaro (59:21), Jen Ishii (1:00:09) and Colleen Brough (1:00:10). Whamm! Last weekend, Ken Chamberlain took to the heat in Jacksonville, FL to hunt down the Marine Corps Half Marathon (2:12:05). Krunch! The NYRR race this weekend is the Kurt Steiner Cross-Country 5K on Sunday in Van Cortlandt Park. The Blue Line Run will also take place on Sunday, an opportunity for our NYC marathoners to get in a final long run before the taper. And the NYC Marathon also happens to be the next NYRR club team points race. Volunteers Needed for Marathon Weekend Volunteers are needed for several marathon weekend events.

There are seven positions -- president, women’s VP, men’s VP, treasurer, secretary, and two directors-at-large -- within the FRNY board. If you have any questions about what the positions entail, please reach out to our elections officers -- Da Ping Luo (dapingluo@mac.com) or Tom Malcolm (malcolm@pbworld.com). The process for the elections will be that candidates for any office should submit a statement of intent to Tom and Da by Friday, November 5th at 5 PM. The slate of candidates will be announced at the club’s pancake breakfast on Sat., Nov 6th. As a new feature this year, we will be using Sat., Nov 13th as a "Meet the Candidates" forum after the fun run. The candidates will be our November Speakers of the Month! Members will have the opportunity to meet the candidates and to ask them questions about what their goals and aspirations are for FRNY. We hope that everyone can make it! Voting will occur in late November, and the results will be announced on Sat., December 4th after the fun run. Details on all that will be forthcoming. Weekly Long Run This week’s long run is the Blue Line Run. Please see the top of the Front Runner Gram for details on this run. E-mail longruns@frny.org with any questions. Sign-up for the long run list here: http://tinyurl.com/24kb4j6 See who’s signed up for long runs: http://tinyurl.com/2bqn3lc Long run calendar: http://tinyurl.com/29kmu4b Training Tip For those of you not running a marathon this fall, you should take the next five or so weeks before we start at the Armory to work on your base running. Take a break from hard workouts and focus this time on building up your mileage. Consider doing alternate forms of exercise-swimming, cycling, using the elliptical machine, etc. In fact, you should rest a bit, especially if you raced often or worked out often. Stick to the 10 percent rule -- don’t increase your mileage by more than 10 percent from week to week. If you are not already doing so, this might be a good time do some weight lifting, especially for those who are focusing on the shorter distances. Manhattan Meets Brooklyn! Come join our Brooklyn contingent for a fun run in beautiful Prospect Park on Tuesday, October 26th! We’re making a special push that night to have as many Manhattanites as possible, and there will be a bag drop provided by Karl Rutter (he’ll have his car on site). We’ll meet at 7PM at the 3rd Street and Prospect Park West for our run through Prospect Park (about 3.4 miles). Meet near the 3rd Street entrance to the park on Prospect Park West starting at 7 PM. We’ll take off for our loop at 7:15 PM. Everyone will have dinner together after -- hope to see you there! FRNY Shoe Drive Continues We have started collecting members’ running and athletic footwear! Gently worn shoes will be donated to people and "dead" shoes will be recycled. The organizations we are partnering with are: Soles4Souls, Nike ReUse A Shoe and one local running organization still to be determined. A collection box will be available @ Rutger’s Church at each Saturday morning and Wednesday night Fun Run for the duration of the drive. The shoe drive is limited to the next 90 days and we hope to collect 200 pairs of shoes-that’s about one pair for approximately 1/3 of our current membership and given how often we replace our shoes, most of us probably have more than one pair just collecting dust. For more information about these organizations or if you �have a recommendation for one based in the NYC area, please contact Sandi Rowe at women@frny.org. Quarterly Club Meeting -- Oct. 16th This Saturday, October 16th, we will have a quarterly meeting after the fun run at Rutgers. At this time, we will recap the club finances and also talk about larger club initiatives -- including the board’s efforts to update the bylaws. We hope that you can make it! FRNY Bylaws Amendments FRNY is seeking to bring its bylaws up to date. Please see the memo (http://www.frny.org/members/07282010_FRNY_Bylaws_Amendment_Process.php) posted on July 28, 2010 for detailed information about the process and time line of the 2010 proposed bylaws changes. Click here (http://www.frny.org/members/10142010_FRNY_Bylaws_Amendment_Process.php) to see a draft of the proposed changes, side by side with the original language. This document will be presented at the FRNY general membership meeting on October 16, 2010 after the weekly Saturday fun run at Rutgers Church (approximately 11:15 AM). The draft is open for comments and feed back through Oct. 30, at which point a final draft will be published for the club’s consideration. The membership will vote to accept or reject changes on the same ballot as 2011 board elections. For questions, comments or more information about the proposed changes or the voting process, please contact Megan Jenkins at directoratlarge1@frny.org. Marathon Fundraiser for Harlem United Many Front Runners are doing the NYC Marathon to raise money and awareness for Harlem United -- where our coach Kelsey Louie is a Senior VP. The group running will be having an after-work social on Friday, October 22nd from 6:30 9:30 PM at: Incorporated Architecture & Design (40 West 29th Street, No. 404). The event is FREE and there will be beer, snacks and music. Attendees can donate to Harlem United online at the event. Multi-Sport Update Rachel Cutler & Rosario Gennaro Vocal members of the club have requested swimming remain every Monday through the winter. Please let your voice be heard if you would like us to alternate swimming with spinning on Monday nights. If you think you might be too new of a swimmer to join in, please let us know and we can explain our practice format or point you towards swim lessons as another option. Please let us know how we can help you in the off season. Bike clinics, wetsuit shopping, race schedule preparation, etc. Races begin to sell out as quickly as they open, don’t miss out! Send us an e-mail at multisport@frny.org.

Membership Directory About the Front Runner Gram Photo Credits Did You Know? After much digging around, we found this fun fact about the Blue Line Run. It appears that the first Blue Line Run was in October 1986 -on Sunday, Oct 19th. It began at Joe Criscione’s apartment in Astoria and went across the 59th St Bridge and then followed the rest of the marathon course. (Thanks to Steve Gerben for that tidbit.) Joe hosted the run for most of the years that followed and for most of that time, the run started from Brooklyn and ran the last 20 miles of the marathon course. It was called the Blue Line because the blue paint that marked the marathon course had been visible. Now the organizers use a paint that washes away after a few weeks. (That fact is courtesy of Paul Racine!) Membership Directory Recently moved? Email any updates or questions to membership@frny.org.

What a busy week for Front Runners! With three NYRR races, a couple of Half Marathons in the region, a Half Ironman in Long Island, races in the Bronx, Governors’ Island, and around the country, FRNY tore up race courses all over the place. In the process, Front Runners broke records, conquered new distances, and even got downright dirty. The biggest news of the week of course was Saturday’s Grete’s Gallop Half Marathon, an NYRR Club Points Race. Seventy-two Front Runners raced in the challenging course, consisting of more than two full loops of Central Park. And what a spectacular performance by Team FRNY! Superstar John MacConnell led the Men’s Open team to an Eighth Place citywide finish, with a jaw-dropping, PR-setting time of 1:12:08--that’s a 5:30 pace and 82.0 AG%--placing him 15th overall out of over 4500 finishers! Right behind him were Josh Korth (1:22:28), Chris Stoia (1:23:15, 7th age), Jason Rudman (1:23:21, 9th age), and Jerry McDonnell (1:25:24). Great going, guys!! For the Men’s Masters (40+), Chris and Jason were joined by Dave Caraway (1:26:11) to take Fifth Place citywide. The Men’s Vets (50+) performed fabulously with Patrick Guilfoyle (1:29:16), Richard White (1:35:08), and Richard Blanchette (1:40:04) taking home Eighth Place. And the Men’s Supervets (60+) were superfast with Paul Racine (1:46:08), Scott �Emmons (1:52:49), and Sam Lafata (2:52:34) taking home Third Place for the team. Excellent running gentlemen! The FRNY Women’s Team gave us a stunning performance as well! In her third time as First Front Runner Finisher in three NYRR races, speedster Barbara Finnegan finished in a awe-inspiring new PR of 1:32:49 (7:05 pace, 70.9 AG%!) leading the team to a 9th Place citywide finish (its best finish in a points race since 2008!). Holy smokes! Other speed demons following her footsteps were Leah Serinsky (1:34:54), Rachel Kliegman (1:40:34), Megan Jenkins (1:42:00), and Debbie Li (1:48:18). Way to go! Also impressing us all were the Women’s Masters team, with Jen Ishii (1:57;40), Bernie Janelle (1:58:20), and Sandi Rowe (1:58:22) capturing 12th Place! And the Women’s Vets took home a solid 7th Place thanks to Bernie, Sharen Duke (2:05:27), and Diane Westerback (2:15:34). Awesome job, ladies!!! An extra shout out this week goes to Peter Macari (1:29:09, PR), Keith Jameson (1:52:01, PR by over five minutes!), Jim McCarrick (1:39:55, PR by over two minutes!), Paul Grillot (1:41:09, 10th age!), and Anthony Majewski (1:28:18, 1st FRNY Race!). Hooray!!! Earlier on Saturday, 17 FRNY men and 2 women ran the Norway Run, a speedy 1.7 mile sprint around Central Park’s lower loop. Congrats to Maritza Arroyo (13:32, 7th age) and Lori Braun (23:25, 9th) for both achieving NYRR Honor Roll (top 10 age group) finishes!! For the men, Benjamin Corbett led the Front Runners to a Second Place team finish, with a blazing time of 9:35 (5:38 pace, 4th age). Moments afterward were Anthony Bendinelli (11:04), Eric Maldonado (11:19), Douglas Larsen (11:22, 4th age), and Robert Preston (11:30, 8th age). Special congrats go to James Mangum (11:32), achieving 9th age in his very first NYRR race as a Front Runner! Way to go! And continuing in the NYRR Honor Roll Sweep, three Front Runners raced in the Harry Murphy Cross Country 5K in Van Cortlandt Park, and all three were in the top ten of their age groups! Congratulations to Patrick Guilfoyle (20:50, 4th age), Keith Oberlin (22:56, 5th age), and Sam Lafata (36:44, 6th age). Amazing!! On Sunday, a crew of Front Runner Divas headed over to Long Island to run the Diva’s Half Marathon in East Meadow, NY. The race--part of the Women’s National Running Series--featured tiara stops and feather boa stations along the course and boasted roses and champagne at the finish, so runners could race and celebrate in true diva style. Congrats to Dee Krueger, Sharon Abbott (2:07:24, one day after Grete’s), A.J. Stachelek (2:19:10, first half-marathon!!!), Les James (2:26:00, after Grete’s), and Ruth Gursky (2:58:44). Special thanks go out to Sandi Rowe and Rachel Kliegman for cheering their hearts out along the course. Fantastic job, everyone! Also on Sunday, two Front Runners got dirty at the Down & Dirty Mud Run in Orchard Beach in the Bronx. The race featured military-style obstacles, commando cargo climbs, wild water crossings, and mud, mud and more mud! Jeff Werner won 3rd in his age group, finishing the 10K in 44:09. Timmy Wilson also won 3rd age, racing the 5K in a speedy 28:35. Congrats, guys! Remind us to ask you about the "local military personnel" and "post race showers" listed on the website... Also on Sunday, Beth Strickland ran the Get Outside on Governors Island 10K. The "technical" course featured three loops around the island and offered spectacular views of Manhattan. Beth nailed the course--her very first 10K--in an impressive 1:17:19! Way to go, Beth! We’re sure we’ll be seeing you at many more 10Ks to come! Also, a shout-out to Rachel Hitchcock and Cat Wade for cheering! On Saturday, Craig Booth ran the Hamptons Half Marathon in East Hampton. The course covered wooded roads and gorgeous beaches along some of the most beautiful terrain on Long Island’s East End. But Craig didn’t leave much time for enjoying the scenery as he finished in an outstanding time of 1:57:51. Well done, Craig! Also on Saturday, Melissa Kelson ran the Carrboro 10K. The race was held in Carrboro, NC (which, we’re told, apparently does not have any stretch of flat ground, anywhere!). Nonetheless, Melissa put in a solid 1:02:49. Bravo! On Sunday, the Ultramarathon training continued for long distance Maniacs Tim Guscott and Zander Ross, as they ran the Wineglass marathon in Corning, NY. Tim finished in 3:55:53, and Zander in 3:55:34. Great job, guys. We hope you enjoyed your finisher’s Brut Champagne! Finally, in Multisporting news, three Front Runner men traveled to �the eastern tip of Long Island to race the MightyMan Triathlon, a Half-Ironman distance race consisting of a 1.2 mile swim in Montauk’s Fort Pond, a 56-mile bike ride covering 2200 feet of elevation gain with magnificent ocean and bay views, and a 13.1 mile run over a hilly two-loop course that includes stretches aptly named "Murder Hill" and "The Pits." In his very first Half-Ironman, Mike Terry finished in an amazing 5:02:18 (34:05s, 2:47:20b, 1:37:08r), capturing 19th overall out of 349 finishers! Dave Lin also raced his first time at this distance, and despite the brutal cold and unrelenting coastal winds, finished in a solid 6:33:28 (48:58s, 3:39:05b, 1:59:41r). And Dave Pitches, with an impressive time of 6:42:34 (53:07s, 3:34:21b, 2:08:51r) scored First Place in his age group! Amazing job, guys! Looks like those Multisport workouts really paid off!!! Whew, that was a lot of racing! Congratulations to everyone racing this past week! The Week Ahead: This Sunday is the Staten Island Half. The race begins at 8:30 and is within walking distance of the S.I. Ferry Terminal. Note that NYRR recommends runners take the 7:30am ferry at the latest. As of press time, registration is still available. Good luck, racers! Volunteers Needed for Marathon Weekend Volunteers are needed for several marathon weekend events. If you are interested in helping out with the pasta dinner on the Friday night of marathon weekend (11/5), please write to Dane Grams at danegrams@yahoo.com. The dinner is at 6:00 PM and volunteers would be needed to arrive in advance of that time. The following morning is the Front Runners Annual Pancake Breakfast! Show off your culinary skills or practice your pancake flipping. People are also needed to set up and to clean up. There will be a sign-up sheet at the Saturday run, or you may email Mike McMahon or Dave Laurence at: cspotrun2u@gmail.com (please be sure to also include a phone number where we can reach you). Finally there is famous 24-Mile Water station on Marathon Sunday. Volunteers will be needed from early morning through early evening and will work in shifts. Please contact Marty Tracy at marie.b.tracy@gmail.com or Miles Harter at wmilesh@hotmail.com for more details. 2011 Board Elections Election season is once again upon us! There truly is no better way to see the inner workings of the club and to help direct the club into a brighter future than through service on the board. There are seven positions -- president, women’s VP, men’s VP, treasurer, secretary, and two directors-at-large -- within the FRNY board. If you have any questions about what the positions entail, please reach out to our elections officers -- Da Ping Luo (dapingluo@mac.com) or Tom Malcolm (malcolm@pbworld.com). The process for the elections will be that candidates for any office should submit a statement of intent to Tom and Da by Friday, November 5th at 5 PM. The slate of candidates will be announced at the club’s pancake breakfast on Sat., Nov 6th. As a new feature this year, we will be using Sat., Nov 13th as a "Meet the Candidates" forum after the fun run. The candidates will be our November Speakers of the Month! Members will have the opportunity to meet the candidates and to ask them questions about what their goals and aspirations are for FRNY. We hope that everyone can make it! Voting will occur in late November, and the results will be announced on Sat., December 4th after the fun run. Details on all that will be forthcoming. Weekly Long Run This weekend is a big marathon weekend many of our long runners will be running the Mohawk Hudson, Chicago and Steamtown Marathons. Hope you’re all resting up and we wish you all the best of the luck! For the rest of us, it’s another weekend, another half marathon: the Staten Island Half. This weekend you will learn the most valuable marathon lesson of all for NYC... how to motivate yourself to wake up early enough to catch the Staten Island Ferry and still have a great race! Registration for the race is still open but can only be done in person Thurs, Fri or Sat at NYRR. The race starts Sunday at 8:30 am from Richmond County Stadium, walking distance from the ferry. NYRR recommends you plan on taking the 7:30a ferry at the latest. See race page for more details. For more information and training tips, please sign up for the long �run list below. Staten Island Half info: http://www.nyrr.org/races/2010/hms/si_reg.asp# Sign-up for the long run list here: http://tinyurl.com/24kb4j6 See who’s signed up for long runs: http://tinyurl.com/2bqn3lc Long run calendar: http://tinyurl.com/29kmu4b End of Outdoor Training Season Tonight will be the last outdoor running workout of the 2010 season. The training sessions will re-commence at The Armory in mid-November. There will be an informational meeting about the winter season in advance of that time. Congrats everyone on great racing this summer/fall! Training Tip Go for it! Once you determine that your goal is reasonable--maybe a little difficult, but still within reach, go for it. Goals are meant to be difficult to reach. Even if pace predictors and calculators tell you that you’ll run a little slower than your goal, go for it. A young wise runner reminded me that that those pace predictors don’t take heart into account. And if in that race you have a slow mile, don’t give up completely. Keep pushing, keep that goal in mind, and go for it! FRNY Shoe Drive Continues We have started collecting members’ running and athletic footwear! Gently worn shoes will be donated to people and "dead" shoes will be recycled. The organizations we are partnering with are: Soles4Souls, Nike ReUse A Shoe and one local running organization still to be determined. A collection box will be available @ Rutger’s Church at each Saturday morning and Wednesday night Fun Run for the duration of the drive. The shoe drive is limited to the next 90 days and we hope to collect 200 pairs of shoes-that’s about one pair for approximately 1/3 of our current membership and given how often we replace our shoes, most of us probably have more than one pair just collecting dust. For more information about these organizations or if you have a recommendation for one based in the NYC area, please contact Sandi Rowe at women@frny.org. Quarterly Club Meeting -- Oct. 16th On Saturday, October 16th, we will have a quarterly meeting after the fun run at Rutgers. At this time, we will recap the club finances and also talk about larger club initiatives -- including the board’s efforts to update the bylaws. We hope that you can make it on 10/16! Photo Archive Brunch We are trying to collect our old photos and memorabilia in one distinct archive and Katrina Amaro is helping spearhead this very important archive project. If you are interesting in being a part of it, please feel free to come to a brunch/lunch at Rob Lennon’s apartment on Saturday, October 16th from about 2 PM - 4 PM.

Urban Athletics Shoe Clinic -- This Saturday This Saturday, October 2nd, make sure to be at Rutgers after the fun run (or Grete’s Gallop -- a club points race) for a shoe clinic by Jerry Macari our Speaker of the Month for October. Jerry owns Urban �Athletics, a sponsor of Front Runners New York, and will be showcasing the latest shoes and other training gear. This is a great time to buy marathon and other fall running gear as special discounts will be offered to those who hit his store after the run that day. We’ll organize a group to head across town to his Madison Avenue store together after the bagel hour! Weekly Race Report "Autumn in New York - why does it seem so inviting?" Maybe, because as a Front Runner, it’s autumn in New York, and it’s good to live it again. And this autumn, it’s about as good as it gets! The high temps on Saturday made autumn feel miles away, but it was a short 3.1 miles through the fall foliage to finish the annual Front Runner XC Meet in Van Cortland Park. Organized by FRNY Director at Large Megan Jenkins, and hosted by a number of volunteers (thanks, all!), this year’s edition was a hit, and combined for a donation to the Bronx Community Pride Center of $1000! Hot on the trails, and fresh off of a stellar Reach the Beach debut, Chris Fisher took home first place overall in 18:48. Following Chris were an unstoppable crew of Steve Vizena (20:43), Chris Stoia (21:16), Ryan Singer (21:16), and Ben Corbett (21:19). For the women, Rachel Kliegman (24:17) took the prize after first running 12 miles to and around Van Cortlandt. She was followed by Kerstin Marx (25:45), Bernie Janelle (27:34), Cindy Hearing (27:44), and Alison Kliegman (29:49). Also on Saturday, a 10k was completed by two indomitable competitors - in the Hudson River! Onesimo Demira and Peter McGrane, having just finished ultra versions of RTB 2010, opted for a little cross-training this weekend - the Little Red Lighthouse swim - starting at the 79th St. boat basin traveling under the GWB and finishing at the Inwood Canoe Club. Onesimo finished in 1:32:55 (38/251) and Peter followed minutes later in 1:45:39 (137/251). Rock on, gentlemen! Not to leave cycling out of the Front Runner purview, Marty Tracy and her sister Kate completed the 75 mile ride from Sagamore Bridge to Provincetown, MA on Saturday in the Harbour to the Bay ride. This ride endeavors to raise awareness of and provide funding to organizations serving those with HIV or AIDS in the community. It was the longest ride for both of the Tracy women to date! Awesome! As if Saturday wasn’t hot enough, Sunday brought awesome results for Front Runners in the 5th Avenue Mile. Bringing it home in an awe-inspiring 4:46 was our own Gabe Benroth (11th age, PR!). Yes, that is what FAST looks like! The next four Front Runner finishers finished within 7 seconds of each other - Ben Corbett (5:06), Dave Caraway (5:07), John Adelman (5:08) and Chris Stoia (5:13, 10th age). For the women, it was Sandi Rowe taking home top honors (in a 1 min 7 second PR effort!!) with a 6:46 finish. Rounding out the women were Maritza Arroyo (7:06), Sarah Wheeler (7:07), Gizella Hajduk (7:38, 10th age) and Diane Westerback (8:15). Also, in the NYRR Honor Roll were Dave Pitches (6:03, 6th age) and Scott Emmons (6:24, 9th age). Truly inspired running, everyone! On the west coast - San Diego, to be more precise, Jerry Buckley sprinted to a second place age group finish in the 2010 Aids Run and Walk 10k in 51:08 and helped raise money for the many HIV/AIDS service organization in the San Diego area. Way to go Jerry! Kicking off more of this fall’s marathon madness, sechs unerschrocken (six intrepid) Front Runners took to what is reportedly one big sightseeing loop through one of the most exciting cities in the world in the Berlin Marathon. Running over the final part of the course (after enduring hours of rain-soaked running) on the Avenue Unter den Linden with an exciting finish through the Brandenburg Gate were Eddie Valentine (2:41:11, a 2 minute PR!), Kieran O’Mahony (2:59:32), Darin Soler (3:17:26),T.J. Jones (3:23:06), Bernd Erpenbeck (3:51:55), and Jacques Moubayed (4:19:45). Das is gut, sehr gut! And we hear the t-shirts were awesome this year too! Alison McKenna completed one more tune-up prior to her fall marathon (Steamboat) at the Newport Liberty Half Marathon (1:48:11) just one week after completing an almost-ultra version of RTB 2010. She reports it to not be the best idea to race so soon after RTB, but she did well and feels good for Steamboat in two weeks nonetheless! Good luck in PA, Alison! The ever-speedy Rich Velazquez and Jill Crouther ran 10 miles in a race to benefit the Mohonk Preserve this Sunday - the Pfalz Point �Trail Challenge. Rich took second in his age group (and a fresh-baked apple pie) and third overall (1:05:00)! Jill finished 8th in her age group and 184th overall (1:42:56)! The race gives runners the rare opportunity to run some of the most extraordinary trails in the country, but when you’re going that fast, do you get to really enjoy them? And last, but certainly not least, in multisport news, one Ms. Cindy Hearing completed her first solo open water sprint tri on Sunday in Point Pleasant, NJ (600m, 10.5 mi., 3 mi.) in under 1:24. Be on the lookout for more multisport racing news from Cindy - this reporter thinks she has been bitten by the bug! On Saturday, NYRR brings you the Norwegian Festival - "Grete’s Gallup" for all your fall marathon tune-up needs. And, yes, it is a points race (only the 1/2 marathon) - so bring your best! And on Sunday, a gaggle of Front Runner women are taking the show on the road to Long Island for the Diva Half Marathon - we’ll be cheering for all you Divas! Important Info On Local Elite Start for NYC Marathon Below, you will find the qualification standards for the 2010 ING New York City Marathon Local Competitive Program.

NYRR has noted that there is limited space and only the first 400 runners that meet the qualifications will be accepted into the Local Competitive Program. NYRR will verify times based on the following criteria; marathon time followed by half-marathon time in parentheses: Age Men Women 18-34 (2:53; 1:22) (3:16; 1:35) 35-39 (2:55; 1:24) (3:22; 1:38) 40-44 (3:02; 1:27) (3:30; 1:41) 45-49 (3:08; 1:32) (3:40; 1:46) 50-54 (3:16; 1:34) (3:48; 1:49) 55-59 (3:26; 1:39) (3:56; 1:52) 60+ (3:32; 1:42) (4:06; 1:57) NYRR has requested the following information: ? First & Last Name ? Team Name and Code ? E-mail address ? Age on race day ? Marathon Entry number ? Qualifying Time and year ? Website where your results can be found (if applicable). If possible, please hyperlink the link. Trivia Reprise Over the last four-plus years, we have had four different authors of the monthly member profiles -- only one of whom has him/herself been profiled as a member of the month. If you can name all four authors, as well as that one author who was also profiled, then you are the winner of a new sports watch. Many thanks to Timex and to club sponsor Urban Athletics for providing the gift certificates. First correct answer (to president@frny.org) wins! The FRNY SHOE DRIVE has begun! This Saturday, October 2nd, FRNY invites Jerry Macari of Urban Athletics to share his ever-popular Shoe Clinic & store discount. In conjunction with this add-more-shoes-to-your-closet event, we are launching The FRNY SHOE DRIVE. Beginning this Saturday, we will start collecting your running and athletic footwear-in any condition! Gently worn shoes will be donated to people and "dead" shoes will be recycled. The organizations we are partnering with are: Soles4Souls, Nike ReUse A Shoe and one local running organization still to be determined. A collection box will be available @ Rutger’s Church at each Saturday morning and Wednesday night Fun Run for the duration of the drive. The shoe drive is limited to the next 90 days and we hope to collect 200 pairs of shoes-that’s about one pair for approximately 1/3 of our current membership and given how often we replace our shoes, most of us probably have more than one pair just collecting dust. For more information about these organizations or if you have a recommendation for one based in the NYC area, please contact Sandi Rowe at women@frny.org. Weekly Long Run This week’s long run is 20 miles for those following the recommended mileage for NYC. We �will incorporate this Saturday’s Grete’s Great Gallop Half Marathon, also a club points race, into this week’s run. In person registration still available at time of this reporting and can be done Thurs/Fri at NYRR. For those running 20 miles, we recommend adding a loop of the park BEFORE starting the race. Run this loop at your usual slower long run pace. For the half, it’s a good idea to use this race to prepare your body for goal marathon pace. It’s not recommended to try to combine a competitive 13.1 mile race into one of the longest runs in training, so if you do decide to run faster be extra cautious and don’t be pulled in by the competition around you. Remember that if you’re doing the 20 miles, your goal is the marathon, not today’s race. Following the race, do a 1 mile recovery run of the lower loop in the opposite direction you finished so you can cheer on your teammates and complete your 20 miles. The race starts at 9am, so give yourself plenty of time to run the extra loop and still have time to get into your corral by 8:45. Registration opens at 6:45a, so bag check should be available early enough for all paces. Please feel free to use the long run list email to coordinate start times with people in your pace so you can run together. Below is a rough estimate on when you should start based on your long run pace. 10:30-12:00: 7:15a 9:00-10:00: 7:30a 8:30 pace or faster: 7:45a Good luck! Info on Grete’s: http://www.nyrr.org/races/2010/r1002x00.asp See who’s signed up for long runs: http://tinyurl.com/2bqn3lc Long run calendar: http://tinyurl.com/29kmu4b Wild Women’s Wednesday -- Next Week (10/6) Come join FRNY on Wednesday, October 6th for our monthly women’s night. As always, we’re hoping for a huge turnout from our female members, and we will have a special surprise woman of FRNY fame to co-host the evening. And dinner after will be ladies’ choice, of course. Don’t miss it! Training Tip With fall marathons coming up, I offer this tip to marathoners. Run several miles at your goal marathon pace. During your long runs, try to include a few marathon-paced miles within your run. First try them at the end of your run. When you can accomplish that, add these faster-paced miles in the middle of your run. At any point, but especially during your taper, get on a track and run 5 x mile at your projected marathon pace. This is more of a pacing exercise than a workout--it should not be too taxing on your body. Your muscles have a memory, so teach them what it is like to run marathon pace. Use this opportunity to listen to and remember the rhythm of your stride. Upcoming 2011 FRNY Board Elections Election season is once again upon us! There truly is no better way to see the inner workings of the club and to help direct the club into a brighter future than through service on the board. There are seven positions -- president, women’s VP, men’s VP, treasurer, secretary, and two directors-at-large -- within the FRNY board. If you have any questions about what the positions entail, please reach out to our elections officers -- Da Ping Luo (dapingluo@mac.com) or Tom Malcolm (malcolm@pbworld.com). The process for the elections will be that candidates for any office should submit a statement of intent to Tom and Da by Friday, November 5th at 5 PM. The slate of candidates will be announced at the club’s pancake breakfast on Sat., Nov 6th. As a new feature this year, we will be using Sat., Nov 13th as a "Meet the Candidates" forum after the fun run. The candidates will be our November Speakers of the Month! Members will have the opportunity to meet the candidates and to ask them questions about what their goals and aspirations are for FRNY. We hope that everyone can make it! Voting will occur in late November, and the results will be announced on Sat., December 4th after the fun run. Details on all that will be forthcoming. Monthly Board Meeting -- Sunday, October 3rd The next monthly meeting of the FRNY Board will be Sunday, October 3rd at 11 AM.

Reach the Beach Recap FRNY had 46 runners make their way up to New Hampshire to Reach the Beach this past weekend. It was an amazing showing and here are some reports from the teams themselves! The venerable FRNY Ladies Tea Society went back to its roots (somewhat) and went co-ed this year, fielding a quasi-ultra team of 9 ladies and 1 gentleman. Our rabbit Megan Jenkins broke through foggy, misty morning to start us off down the rabbit hole that is Cannon Mountain, NH. Van 1 scurried off to provide race support while van 2 enjoyed a lovely morning at FRNY’s traditional spot with a few of the men’s teams - Polly’s Pancake Parlour. Following Megan, Alison McKenna sped through her first leg, followed by Brittany Freese, Victoria DeSimone (in Brittany and Victoria’s first running of RTB) and Dave Pitches! Next, it was Van 2’s turn. Janice Jabido took the baton, and passed off to her van-mates Michelle Nolan, AJ Stachelek, Michelle Mazzara (all three Reach the Beach newbies) and Jill Crouther. The ladies and gentleman fought through fast turn-arounds, sometimes getting to transitions before they were set up, sleeping in a carnival-ride graveyard (or on church pews), and killer cones jumping in front of the van to get to Hampton Beach. Speedy Jill made it to the finish line before the vans could, but it was a fabulous finish-line reunion after 30 hours 58 minutes and 53 seconds of running, driving, sleeping and eating. Yes, we think we’ve been changed in the night!!! P.S. Dave Pitches reports as the only apparent male of the team, he had a great time and is full of awe and respect for the running abilities of the apparent females. The members of van 1 treated him well, especially as they gathered round real close and energized him for his second long run. He had no idea that that was what those wonderful things were for. He was also surprised to learn of the interest in aviation the ladies had, expressing great concern that planes have a proper place to land. Anyway he hopes to be on the team again next year, and even to be the only male, as he felt so special and honored to be �so. Money Can’t Buy you Fast : The Adventures of "The Real Front Runners of New York" ...In a sea of Front Runner Ultra Teams (6 person teams), The Real Frontrunners of New York rocked it old school in the Men’s Open (12 person team) division. While we didn’t run as far as the Ultra Teams, we did sport a banana on our custom designed t-shirts (designed by team member Cory Goodale). When one ultra team runner asked why we had a banana on our shirts, Real Front Runner Anthony Ng pointed out that the banana is "culturally significant to the gay community." Ask Anthony for clarification if you dare. While the main goal was to have a good time, the team did manage to finish 24th overall and 6th in the Men’s Open Division (out of 117 Men’s Open Teams), running at a 7:11 pace per mile. That is not to say that there weren’t some bumps along the way. Ask Gabriel Celis about his emergency stop at Fed Ex Kinkos on the drive up to New Hampshire. Don’t ask one unnamed team member what it’s like to be left behind accidentally at a transition area. It’s a sensitive subject. Here’s to the 2010 Real Front Runners of New York: Van #1 included Stephan Hespers; Jeffrey Werner; Kevin Masse; Michael Grubb; Anthony Ng; and Manjunath Srinivasaiah. Van #2 included Jim McCarrick; Peter Macari; Michael Cavaliere; Cory Goodale; Seth Richardson and Gabriel Celis. With a final team assembled just days before the race, the Front Runners NY Ultragays stayed true to their motto of "Live FAB or Die" by bringing their Ultra-fabulousness from the hills of Cannon Mountain to the sandy shores of Hampton Beach. Along the way, they showed the state of New Hampshire (and a cute team of gay runners from Boston) that the Ultragays possessed some serious ultra-running might. The team of Kyle Mammarella, Evan Mulvihill, Peter Lozito, Onesimo Demira, Mike Terry and Dave Lin not only looked great in their custom singlets but wowed the competition with their 7:13 average pace, finishing in 25:09:27 to capture 25th place overall, 6th place in the Men’s Ultra Division, and 1st place in the race to post real-time pictures on Facebook. Among the Ultragays’ potentially devastating obstacles, enormous triumphs, and general craziness were: Peter’s sweater-dress photo shoot, Kyle’s lancing of his almost golfball-sized blister, the team having to turn the van around to search for Dave’s missing cell phone while Kyle was en route to the transition, Evan’s failure to bring long pants or a jacket despite the frigid temperatures, birthday boy Onesimo’s malfunctioning vest, Mike Terry blowing kisses every time he entered the transition zone, and Dave’s cursing out his (unnamed)teammates in his sleep. But throughout it all, the entire team kept an upbeat disposition and each runner was always excited to run his next leg! (Um, not exactly.) Special thanks go to team driver Paul Holmes who kept close guard over his multiple cans of Red Bull and led the team safely through the almost equally congested streets of New York City and New Hampshire. Team FRNY - The Clowns Will Get Me overcame some late injuries and dropouts to the roster and made their way north to the hills of New Hampshire to tackle the ultra division for the 5th time. RTB ultra vets Mike Benjamin, Peter McGrane, Marty McElhiney, Matt Anderson, along with driver/den mother Michael Orzechowski were joined by rookies Michael Sanderson along with FRNY newbie Jonathan Warner. After a cozy night’s sleep in Vermont and a hearty breakfast at Polly’s Pancakes, the team began their 24 hour adventure. Despite a few mishaps along the way, like leaving a runner behind at a transition area (oops! sorry about that, Marty!), listening to way too many Ke$ha and Rihanna remixes, and being edged out in the standings yet again by their shirtless nemesis SextupWamps (this year by 19 seconds!), the team survived those late night hills, some scary fog, along with some minor meltdowns to Reach the Beach yet again in one piece. With a time of 24:52.26, the team placed 19th overall, 5th in the ultra division, with an impressive 7:08 pace. While some members sang Never Again (dance remix, of course), others were already talking about next year. Neither tornadoes, nor Presidential motorcades, nor an obnoxious co-pilot named Jill Garmin, nor tiny-bladder-induced highway urination, could keep Ultra team Fast Not Furious from making their way to the start of Reach the Beach. From the cute Inn in �Vermont -- with the 3 dwarves bed -- to plates of pancakes at Polly’s, any lack of real sleep was quickly forgotten when the team reached Cannon Mountain. Ramon Frisneda set the pace for the day, and throughout the race, leading the team off the mountain with speed, confidence and style, while Michael P. White, getting attention for his speed and his abs, showed everyone how to run the most miles, quickly, and still never seem out of energy. Lavar Curley, running for more than a fast time, showed Paula Radcliffe how it’s really done, never once seeming to slow down, even on what had to be the most horrific legs, through multiple pregnancies. Chris Stoia, serving as RTB sherpa/Julie McCoy for a bunch of mostly Ultra virgins (the only time they’ll be called that), kept the team steady, on pace, and not completely freaked out by the Silence of the Cows, all the while proving you can do a Tri and bounce back to do an ultra. Brent Peterson, insanely choosing to do an Ultra in a van for around 35 hours total when he gets car sick, showed you don’t really have to be hydrated to crank out some serious miles, nor do you need food (despite filling the van with it), or, really, sleep. Chris Fisher, bringing it home for Fast Not Furious, engaging in some OCD, tried to keep the van clean, while discovering that he really doesn’t know how to communicate with women (especially those named Jill who try to give you directions to Main street no matter where you are going), and that he is really glad FRNY does hill workouts. Overall, the team had a great time, made new FRNY friendships, showed Boston that New York gays are faster and cuter, and ran a great time, finishing the 209 miles in 23 hours and 7 minutes (a 6:38 pace) -- fast and non-furious enough to be the 2nd Men’s Ultra team (behind the impressive FRNY Ultra Mission Men), and the 13th team overall. The team couldn’t have done it without Steve Waldon, driver extraordinaire, who, obviously participating in some sort of medical trial, demonstrated it’s possible to survive on coffee and Redbull alone for an entire day...though it might lead to temporary insanity on the drive home. Finally, on the way home, the team learned that 9 inches of meat is just right after 200 miles, and that, after the pain is forgotten, it was definitely fun enough to probably do it again. Kisses! Love you, Mean it! For the third straight year, Front Runners New York’s Mission Men went to New Hampshire on, well, a mission. This time to tear up the trails in the ultra division. They managed to run well, have a blast all day and all night and learn key dialogue from Real Housewives of New Jersey as well as the definition of vaginal flora. (Thank you, Rich and Kelly, respectively.) Kelsey Louie, John MacConnell, Rich Velazquez, Rob Lennon, Kelly Swaim and Jerry McDonnell took home first in the ultra division and tenth place overall, averaging an impressive 6:27 pace to bring it home in 22 hours 31 minutes. Wear your prize arm wearers in good health, men! Mark Ansell proved to be the team’s secret weapon this year. Impervious to sleep deprivation, bad drivers, transition area traffic and marginal nourishment, Mark churned out mile after mile and hour upon hour in unbelievably good humor and the Mission Men are eternally grateful. Ultra Mission Men would also like to thank Kelly for taking a zero on his quiz to run 31.42 miles with us as a last-minute addition. (Sorry you could not make it this year, Patrick!) The team had the added treat of seeing all the FRNY teams along the way and hearing strangers from near and far laud our club’s fabulosity. It was a kick to be asked who the REAL Front Runners of New York were at TA 33 and to have a van of straight runners admit that their whole team watched in eye-popping awe as John flew downhill on his final leg. A thing of beauty, to be sure. Both Rich and John inspired the Mission Men with their endless ability to run (and run and run ...) without ever slowing down. Simply amazing. Special thanks to Kelsey for organizing, coaching, coaxing and running so steady and so strong. And hats off to Jerry for finishing the run in style and bringing just the right level of bitchiness to the van. Next year the Mission Men hope to reinvent themselves, grow in their artistry and maybe even learn the real meaning of eating between their legs. Watch out America! Weekly Race Report It wasn’t officially fall yet, but Mother Nature gave us perfect, �fall-like weather for Front Runner escapades throughout the Northeast last weekend. The main event was of course the Reach the Beach Relay, and see Rob’s separate article for the gritty details of how six FRNY teams and their roadies left about 10 million footprints along 200 miles of New Hampshire’s hilly highways and byways. Here in the city on Saturday, in the "Village of Haarlem" founded 360 years ago by Peter Minuit, Sam Lafata placed 2nd in his age group at the Harlem Renaissance 5-miler, in 51:52. The lollipop course ran down Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard, around the northern loop in Central Park, and back up the boulevard to a finish at the Harlem YMCA. Sweet, Sammy! Also on Saturday, ultra-maniac Michael Gonz?lez was in Madison, WI for this third North Face Endurance Challenge 50-miler of the year, this one in 9:48:33. Way to go, Michael! Got plans for Atlanta? San Francisco? Bill Rodgers says "Hills are terrific for running." Two members gave us spectacular performances at the War at the Shore Triathlon in Long Branch, NJ, on Sunday. In his triathlon debut, Michael Beltran tackled the long course (swim 600 yards, bike 20.6 miles, run 5 miles) in 2:00:32. And Tom Malcolm, in his first triathlon since 1998, tamed the short course (swim 300 yards, bike 10.6 miles, run 3 miles) in 1:11:16, good for the gold in his age division! Way to go, both of you! Oh, and Tom had also placed 8th in his age group at the Pier House 5K in Long Branch on Labor Day weekend with a 22:23. Well, Tim Guscott is one more training marathon closer to the JFK 50-mile challenge on November 20, with a 3:44:42 at the Yonkers Marathon last Sunday. Yonkers is "far and away the best deal going," Tim says, with its $25 early entry fee, start at the MetroNorth station, and sit-down pasta meal waiting for you at the finish. Holy tiramisu, Batman!, you can hardly get a plate of pasta puttanesca and a Peroni for $25 here in the city. Sharon Abbott rocked the Rock ’n’ Roll Philadelphia Half Marathon on Sunday in 1:59:36, and spotted the best spectator sign EVER "Hello Stranger! I don’t know you, but I am proud of you!" We’re proud of you, too, Sharon! What a way to kick off your birthday week celebrations! If you had to be in the city on Sunday, what better way to start the day than to circle Central Park three times in the NYC Marathon Tune-up? Fifty-four Front Runners did so, with some adding a few more miles to the 18 for a longer long run. The first FR woman across the finish line was Barbara Finnegan in a blazing 2:14:40 (7:29 pace, 10th in age). Barbara was followed by Rachel Kliegman (2:28:12), Sandi Rowe (2:46:41), Rachel Hitchcock (2:51:06), and Jen Ishii (also 2:51:06). On the men’s side, Jason Rudman kicked some asphalt with a 2:00:47 (6:43 pace), and on his heels were the ever-speedy Patrick Guilfoyle (2:07:42, 6th in age), Dave Caraway (2:10:56), Matthew Zales (2:14:51), and Charlie Herschel (2:21:52). Congratulations to Paul Grillot, whose 2:25:25 earned him first place in his age group! View the complete team results for the tune-up here: http://web2.nyrrc.org/cgi-bin/start.exe/aes-programs/results/startup.html?result.id=b0091 9&result.year=2010. The next points race is Grete’s Great Gallop (half-marathon) on Saturday, October 2, and the next race you should all be entering is our club’s very own cross-country meet, this Saturday - see details in a separate section of the Gram. Oh, and best wishes and good running karma to our to Berlin Marathoners on Sunday: T.J., Kieran, Jacques, Darin, and Bernd. That’s it! See you on the roads and trails! FRONT RUNNERS WANTS YOUR RUNNING SHOES! We are happy to announce that in the very near future, we will begin collecting your running shoes-regardless of condition. There are a several organizations under consideration, which will allow us to either donate your gently-worn shoes to a new owner or turn your near-death running shoes into a brand new material like playground surfaces. Stay tuned for further details. If you have questions, please feel free to contact Sandi Rowe at women@frny.org. First Friday Social -- October 1st What do Barbara Streisand, the Indigo Girls, Green Day and George Michael all have in common? The Boiler Room of course! Where else could you primp and prowl to one of the gayest selections of music in the city? "Fall into fall" at this East Village dive bar for our October First Friday-Friday, October 1st, 2010 at 6:30pm. Join your fellow Front Runners at this crowd �favorite for two-for-one drinks. The Boiler Room is at located at 86 E. 4th Street at Second Avenue. Weekly Long Run This weekend we want to encourage everyone to take part in the FRNY Cross-Country Meet this Saturday at Van Cortlandt Park , so we’re going to incorporate the race into our recommended 12 mile distance. The race starts at 11am - we will meet up at the start at 9:30 am where bag drop will be available and do some additional running before (and after depending on your pace). If your long run pace is 8:30/mile or faster, you will run a 9-mile out and back course prior to the 5k. The course starts south on Broadway in The Bronx, across the Broadway Bridge into Manhattan, veering to your left onto 10th Ave where it meets up with Broadway, then on to Harlem River Dr. The turnaround point will be easy it’s right where Harlem River Dr turns from a riverside pedestrian course to a city street uphill climb into Harlem (if you ran Harlem River Dr last time and got lost this is probably the point where you didn’t know where to go!). If your long run pace is over 8:30/mile, you will run a 6-mile out and back before the 5k and a 3-mile after. It is the same course as above but your turnaround point before the race will be the 3-mile mark right where Harlem River Dr hits the river. After the 5k, repeat the out and back, this time turning around before you cross the Broadway Bridge. If you don’t require a bag drop, you can also arrive early and run the full 9 miles above prior to the 5k - but be aware that no bag drop is available prior to 9:30a. Either way, this is a great way to run your long run pace with a nice speed (and elevation) kick added in during the race. This will help your overall endurance training as we add more miles to the training schedule. Just make sure to run your slower pace before you hit the 5k portion. Meeting place at Van Cortlandt Park is the Tortoise and Hare statue at 248th & Broadway. Please note the services changes in the description of the Cross Country Meet (above) and give yourself enough time to leave promptly at 9:30 so that you arrive back in time for the 5k. We also recommend that you sign up for the 5k in advance using the link below (suggested donation $5). This is a charity event benefitting the Bronx Community Pride Center and takes the place of the Sat fun run in CP. Dunkin Donuts await you after the finish! If you have any questions, please feel free to drop us a line at longruns@frny.org. Signup for the 5k: http://bit.ly/cyICQd This week’s course: http://bit.ly/diAsKA See who’s signed up for long runs: http://tinyurl.com/2bqn3lc Long run calendar: http://tinyurl.com/29kmu4b Training Tip Rest. Sometimes less is more. Be sure to listen to your body and rest if you need to, especially after a long hard run, like Reach the Beach or a marathon tune-up, or a marathon! Be cautious, because resuming a workout regimen too soon can lead to injuries later. Urban Athletics Shoe Clinic -Sat., October 2nd On Saturday, October 2nd, make sure to be at Rutgers after the fun run (or Grete’s Gallop -- a club points race) for a shoe clinic by Jerry Macari our Speaker of the Month for October. Jerry owns Urban Athletics, a sponsor of Front Runners New York, and will be showcasing the latest shoes and other training gear. This is a great time to buy marathon and other fall running gear as special discounts will be offered to those who hit his store after the run that day. We’ll organzie a group to head across town to his Madison Avenue store together after the bagel hour! Upcoming 2011 FRNY Board Elections Election season is once again upon us!

For the eighth year in a row, FRNY brought a valiant crew of runners to Reach the Beach. Back in 2003, we had one team and this year we had an astonishing six! There are two Front Runners who have run in every single RTB relay over the last eight years. They are -drumroll -- Kelsey Louie and Jeff Werner! Special kudos also go out to Peter McGrane who helped promote this race when no one was doing it and put Polly’s Pancakes on the FRNY map. Can’t wait to see what the team manages to pull out in 2011! Photos this week include our six FRNY teams at Reach the Beach. They are, from top to bottom (photo credits in parentheses): FRNY Ladies Tea Society (Alison McKenna); The REAL Front Runners of New York (Dave Lin); FRNY Ultragays (Dave Lin); FRNY -- The Clowns Will Get Me (Matt Anderson); FRNY Fast Not Furious (Ramon Frisneda); and FRNY Ultra Mission Men (John MacConnell). Final picture is a quintessential RTB hand-off (Ramon Frisneda). � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

There are seven positions -- president, women’s VP, men’s VP, treasurer, secretary, and two directors-at-large -- within the FRNY board. If you have any questions about what the positions entail, please reach out to our elections officers -- Da Ping Luo (dapingluo@mac.com) or Tom Malcolm (malcolm@pbworld.com). The process for the elections will be that candidates for any office should submit a statement of intent to Tom and Da by Friday, November 5th at 5 PM. The slate of candidates will be announced at the club’s pancake breakfast on Sat., Nov 6th. As a new feature this year, we will be using Sat., Nov 13th as a "Meet the Candidates" forum after the fun run. The candidates will be our November Speakers of the Month!

Voting will occur in late November, and the results will be announced on Sat., December 4th after the fun run. Details on all that will be forthcoming. Weekly Race Report The cool weather must have agreed with the 80 Front Runners who participated in this Saturday’s Fitness Mind, Body + Spirit Games 4-miler because we saw some great running and a bunch of PR’s all over Central Park. Way to bring your best to the NYRR points competition! The top 5 men smoked the course lead by John MacConnell who achieved a PR! (20:38, 5:09 pace, 9th age, 81.6 AG%) Next speedster was Rich Velazquez (21:41, 5:25 pace, 9th age, 77.9 AG%), followed by a dashing Chris Stoia (23:50, 5:57 pace, 7th age, 78.9 AG%), striking Kieran O’Mahony (24:14, 6:03 pace, 71.9 AG%) and rounding out the top five was Benjamin Corbett who burst through the tape with a PR (24:18, 6:04 pace, 69.3 AG%).amazing 5 rounded out NYRR’s 10 ten teams, placing 10th overall! Chris Stoia scored again for the Masters finishing 6th overall. He was joined by Matt Anderson (24:29, 6:07 pace, PR) and nimble Patrick Guilfoyle (24:32, 6th age, 79.1 AG %). In the Vets category, Patrick Guilfoyle scored double for a 5th place finish. Joining him were agile Dave Pitches (27:34, 3rd age, 79.4 AG %) and Daniel Medeiros (27:35). And in yet another double scoring feat, Dave Pitches helped our Super Vets men to a 6th place finish along with Paul Racine (30:46) and Sam Lafata (41:46). Swift Jim McCarrick smashed the 7 min/mile pace barrier for the first time in a race of 5K or longer, zooming in with a PR (27:47, 6:57 pace). Other PR’s were realized by Gregg Hansbury (30:30, 7:37 pace), Michael Cavaliere (25:24, 6:21 pace), and Alvaro Rodas (31:02, 7:45 pace). Hats, visors and bandanas off to you! A warm welcome to Jeremy Reiss who ran his first race as a Front Runner, and welcome back to Mike Markowitz who returned to the racing circuit after an injured hamstring from April. Mike proudly donned the FRNY singlet and loved being out there with everyone again. Our top 5 women (15th place overall) rapidly put the 4-miler to bed led by Megan Jenkins (28:02, 7:00 pace, 68.7 AG%), followed by fast Debbie Li who shattered an over a year old PR (29:29, 7:22 pace, 65.7 AG%). Next in was the amazing Alison McKenna with a huge PR. Alison bested her last 4M by 1:41 min and accomplished her fastest pace for a race (29:37, 7:24 pace, 64.9 AG%). Rapidly riding the express train was Maritza Arroyo (31:47, 7:56 pace, 68.3 AG%) and Jill Crouther (32:15, 8:03 pace) to lead the top pack. Wondering what’s the secret to attaining a PR? Just ask Ruth Gursky. Her trick? She ran a 4-mile training run before the 4-mile Fitness Mind & Body race and despite the tired legs nailed a PR (50:59) - YEA!!!!!!! Ruth gives thanks to the beautiful weather, cheering FRNY men on the roadway - and Tim Guscott who ran her in as he described how to get up to Riverbank for the picnic. Go Ruth!! Go teamwork!! Our masters women notched it up one place to finish 14th overall thanks to the running of Maritza Arroyo, Cindy Hearing (32:20, 8:05 pace, PR) (hot tuna, Cindy!), and Michelle Mazzara (32:30). Our vets women were led by none other than Bernie Janelle (32:48), Gizella Hajduk (36:36), and Diane Westerback (38:34) and finished 7th overall! Way to run, ladies! Ali Kliegman continues to slice and dice time off her races. This past Saturday she sliced 5 seconds off her time for a new PR! �(33:21, 8:20 pace) We never get sick of PR’s Ali, keep it up! The Jungfrau Marathon in Interlaken, Switzerland saw some FRNY action this past weekend from Richard Ervais (5:33.21) and Zander Ross (6:12:22 just making the 6:30 cut off!) This is considered one of the most beautiful marathons and mother nature cooperated with bright sunny skies beaming down on the snowcapped mountains. This is also considered one of the most difficult marathons, beginning in Interlaken at 566 meters (1,854 feet) and climbing to near the top of Jungfrau Mountain, 2,320 meters (7,612 feet) up, which they hit at kilometer 41 before descending to 2,061 meters at the finish. This was Richard’s 68th marathon, and Zander’s 73rd, and they both felt this was by far the hardest marathon either of us has ever done. Richard reports, "To be fair, the first half isn’t so difficult rising around 250 meters, and I ran it in just over 2 hours; the second half, however, is more of a mountain climb, and the runners snake up the steep cliffs in single file definitely climbing and not running and that took me another 3.5 hours." Zander reports, "Ouch!!! By FAR, by VERY, VERY FAR, this was the hardest marathon EVER... Nothing compares to this... this WAS the HARDEST thing I [have] EVER done... No oxygen and running on loose rocks... Up up up, never down, never a break...A real KILLER!" 141 congratulations Zander and Richard! (One for every marathon you’ve done collectively.) We continue to be inspired by your perseverance and ability to tackle substantial challenges! Mighty Tim Guscott completed The Marathon for Via in Allentown, PA this weekend, finishing in 3:59:37. Fantastic job Tim, keep ’em coming! And showing us some hot multisporting action, four relay teams of Front Runners brought their pump and pizzazz to the Westchester Toughman Half Ironman this Sunday. Coming in 12th overall (5:09:13) were Peter McGrane (swim, 31:06), Alex Kristofcak (bike, 2:59:55, 1st multisport event!), and Cenk Bulbul (run, 1:36:48, 1st multisport event!). These guys were quickly followed by the 26th place FRNY Girls of Rachel Cutler (swim and bike, 35:09/3:33:27) and Megan Jenkins (run, 1:42:11). Forming the spectacular Team Metrowomyn was Gemma Sanz de la Serna (swim, 46:10), Cindy Hearing (bike, 3:31:06), and Bernie Janelle (run, 2:00:46) who rocked the house as a relay team for a combined time of 6:20:09 (31st overall). They also want to give a huge shout out to Jennifer Wisdom for all the unbelievable support she gave us throughout the event. The womyn enjoyed representing FRNY and can’t wait for the next multi-sport event! Rock on ladies! Also taming the Westchester Toughman Triathlon and kicking some backside was Blossom Coryat (swim, 41:58), Katrina Amaro (bike, 3:29:20), and Brittany Freese (run, 2:24:52, 1st multisport event!) completing the relay in 6:38:03 (34th overall). A shout out to Katrina who biked 56 miles for the first time, and to Blossom who glided through the cold water without a wetsuit. Way to bring it! This Sunday, Sept. 19 is the ING New York City Marathon Tune-Up (18M) with an early start time of 7:00 a.m. This event is a qualifier and counts towards next year’s NYC Marathon. Start on Central Park’s East Drive at 102nd Street and head north. Complete three counterclockwise loops of the park. Weekly Long Run This weekend there will be no organized run due to Reach the Beach, however there are a few options to get in the recommended 20 miles, including running the ING NYC MARATHON TUNE-UP on Sunday morning at 7am. It’s the last of the NYRR marathon training runs in Central Park. Unlike the other training runs, this is an official scored race with only one distance option - three counterclockwise loops of the park for 18 miles. As a scored race, this one does qualify for the 9+1 2011 marathon entry. Online registration is closed but information on sign-up can be found by clicking on the link below.

Have the discipline to go through your regular race routine, even if you must abbreviate it for each leg. For example, if you stretch after each race/run, then make sure to �get some stretching in after each run. Be sure to warm up and cool down to the extent that it is possible. Get some fluid and other easily digestible calories (gel, gu, or Clif shots) as soon as possible after each run. Plan your food intake so you can try to get a somewhat hearty meal in--know how long it takes for you to digest your food. Don’t forget, there are side and rearview mirrors on each van so you can make sure you stay cute! And most importantly, have a blast!! Multisport Updates Swim workouts resume this upcoming week. Please check the calendar at www.frny.org for details. Please let us know your race schedule or if you would like ideas for end of season races. Singlets are still being sold at Fun Runs in all sizes. For more information on FRNY mutisport initiatives, please e-mail us at multisport@frny.org. Membership Directory Reminder Recently moved?

But as many of us were resting our legs at beaches or barbecues, a few determined Front Runners were able to squeeze in some road racing. And what impressive racing they did! In LA on Sunday, Darin Soler ran the Disneyland Half Marathon. With a speedy time of 1:30:12, Darin came in 14th out of 751 in his age group! Having completed the Goofy Challenge in Disney World in January (running both the half and full marathons on consecutive days) Darin has now finished the Disney Coast to Coast Challenge. That’s some amazing running, Darin! Also on Sunday, Benjamin Corbett and Paul Racine ran the 2nd Annual WTC Run to Remember 5K on Governor’s Island. The fast and flat course takes place mostly along the outer perimeter of the island, with beautiful views of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Staten Island, and New Jersey. Benjamin ran a blazing 18:55, placing 9th overall and 6th in age group; and Paul also ran a speedy 23:42, placing 3rd in age group. Excellent racing, guys! Andrew Butler and Doug Larsen ran the Montreal Marathon on Sunday. Doug finished in 4:28:26, and Andrew right behind at 4:42:41. This was Andrew’s fifth marathon since joining Front Runners in 2005. The marathon also marked a comeback for Doug who had been on a 26-year running hiatus. Very well done! In Long Island on Monday, two Front Runners hit the streets of East Hampton for the Great Bonac Foot Race 10K sponsored by the Old Montauk Athletic Club. Dave Pitches was the first to cross the line, with a speedy 46:45, earning him first in his age group! Craig Booth followed soon �afterward with an impressive 52:31. Great job! On Saturday, Alison McKenna ran the women-only Saturday in the Park 5K on the infamous Holmdel Park Cross Country 5K course (the course where all the NJ State Championships are run). Alison finished the tough, hilly course in a blistering 26:01, good for 3rd place in her age group and 81st overall. Way to go, Alison! And showing his FRNY pride even after his move to the Midwest, James Brown ran the Madison Mini Marathon (13.1) on August 21 in a smoking 1:29:21 (his second fastest half ever), placing 62 of 3243. Then the following Saturday, James ran the Badgerland Striders’ South Shore Half Marathon. Despite the extremely hilly course, combined with high heat and humidity and lots of twists and turns, James ran an awesome time of 1:32:26 (34th out of 478 finishers). Super running, James, and good luck at the Chicago Half Marathon this weekend! This weekend: This Saturday is the Fitness Mind, Body + Spirit Games 4-Miler, a club points race. The separate men’s and women’s starts mean you can both run and cheer on your teammates in this ever-popular race. The course begins at East Drive near 68th Street, with the men’s race at 9:00 am, and the women right after at 10:00. Good luck racers! Weekly Long Run This week we will be doing a club favorite long run - the 5 bridges run.

Weekly Race Report This weekend, as we bid adieu to yet another Front Runner summer to remember, make sure to shout out to these awesome racers! The weekend of racing started early, with Front Runners dominating the Sunset & Suds 5K presented by our friends at Urban Athletics. With the promise of suds (read: BEER) at the end, they pushed through the fast and flat course to some amazing PRs and top 10 finishes.

On Sunday, Front Runners came back to racing with a vengeance. The Henry Isola 4M Cross Country Classic is one for the record books. ALL FRNY racers finished in the top ten in their age groups! Let’s hear it for Patrick Guilfoyle (26:15, 2nd Age), Benjamin Corbitt (26:38, 10th Age), Chris Stoia (28:24, 2nd Age), Cindy Hearing (37:48, 2nd Age), Sam Lafata (49:31, 5th Age) and Inger Berger (53:11, 2nd Age). Way to blast out the summer, team! Also on Sunday, several of our intrepid multisporters took to the seas despite the fear of strong currents and possible rip tides at the �2nd annual Staten Island Triathlon. Dave Pitches again dominated his age group, winning with a strong 1:28 finish. Sandi Rowe, in her first ever attempt at the 3 sports all lumped together, braved the waters to a 2nd place age group finish (1:38). Watch out ladies, she’s awesome in multisport too! And, to round out the winning, Rachel Kliegman, Katrina Amaro and Leah Serinsky teamed up for a cool first place in the women’s team division (1:19). There are no NYRR races this weekend, so enjoy the last weekend of the summer! Happy Labor Day! Weekly Long Run This week’s long run will be held on Saturday morning and will have a recommended distance of 18-20 miles. The specific start location and course is TBD and will be announced to the longrun email list in the next couple of days. If you are not signed up and want to do this or any of our long runs this season, please use the link below to sign up. Sign-up for the long run list here: http://tinyurl.com/24kb4j6 See who’s signed up for long runs: http://tinyurl.com/2bqn3lc Long run calendar: http://tinyurl.com/29kmu4b Training Tip There are many benefits to negative splitting in a race. You will reach your lactate threshold later in the race allowing for more energy and speed in the last miles. Your muscles increase in warmth and resiliency providing more strength when it counts. And your faster pace at the end of the race will provide psychological advantages. You will feel more confident because you’re passing other runners and your pace will feel stronger. So, in order to run negative splits, you need to train for them. This simply means increasing your pace towards the second half of the workout, and this can be done in any workout. We will be focusing on this at the Tuesday/Thursday evening workouts. Meet the Membership Picnic -- Sept. 11 Saturday, September 11th, after the men’s and women’s points races (9 AM and 10 AM, respectively) in Central Park, please join us for our annual Meet the Membership Picnic at Riverbank State Park (145th St. and the Hudson River -- just take the #1 train to 145th and walk due west) from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. that afternoon. We hope that people stay to cheer the women’s race, and we will save food for anyone who may be in transit from the race to Riverbank. We invite everyone to enjoy the sweeping river views and reconnect with your teammates who were away for the summer. FRNY provides some basic sandwich fare, and we ask members to bring provisions in accordance with the first letter of their last names as follows A-H bring a side dish or salad; I-P bring bring juice, soda, gatorade, water or other beverage; and Q-Z bring a dessert. There will also be a fun run leaving from Riverbank that morning at 10 AM in place of the regular fun run from Rutgers. Reach the Beach -- Sept. 17-18 Your dream HAS come true! Yes, it is true, the FRNY Ladies Reach the Beach team - the Ladies Tea Society is going co-ed. You heard that right.

Weekly Race Report What does it mean when Tom Duane, Charlie Rangel, and Mary Wittenberg are sharing a dais early on a Saturday morning? It means that it’s the Percy Sutton Harlem 5K, with a challenging loop course around St. Nicholas Park and past City College. Patrick Guilfoyle was the first Front Runner to finish, snagging first place in his age group with a fast 18:58 and an impressive 78.3% age-graded score. Yay! Patrick was followed in close order by Brian Schiesser (19:14), Benjamin Corbett (19:15), Peter Shearer (20:23), Sean Weissbart (20:43), and 16 more men and six women. Rachel Kliegman led the women with a 23:24 and 8th place in her age group. Super, RayK! Mariela Lombard (32:37), Tara Amato (33:25), Liz Hines (33:34), Lenore Beaky (39:06, 7th in age), and Stacey Cooper (40:24) rounded out the field. Also making the NYRR honor roll for finishing in the top ten of their age groups were Sam Lafata (32:36, 9th place), and Paul Racine (24:12, 5th place). A bit later in the day on Saturday, Alison Kliegman ran her first ever nighttime half marathon, the Full Moon Half Marathon, from Plymouth to Sheboygan, WI, and she had a huge 10-minute PR to boot, with a 1:57:39! Running through "cornfields and whatnot" in the dark was "very exciting." Congratulations for breaking the 2-hour barrier, Alison! A quartet of Front Runners traveled to the Timberman 70.3 at Ellacoya State Park, near Laconia, NH, on Sunday. The 1.2-mile swim in clear, blue Lake Winnipesaukee, 56-mile bike over rolling hills, and half-marathon along the shores of the lake with the majestic White Mountains in the background was the debut Half-Ironman for Chris Stoia, Tim Guscott (racing as a NY Triton), and Peter Lozito. Congrats to Chris (5:30:38), Tim (5:47:47), and Peter (5:51:49) for the awesome accomplishment! The fourth member of the quartet was Zander Ross, on hand to provide cheers and support. From race co-captain Dave Lin: Rachel Cutler, Mike Terry, Alison McKenna, and Dave swam the Sea Girt Ocean Mile in Sea Girt, NJ on Sunday. The ocean was super choppy, but they all finished strong and had a lot of fun. Rachel took 3rd place in her age group! In Van Cortlandt Park last Thursday, at the final installment of Van Cortlandt Track Club’s cross-country summer series, Dave Pitches garnered a Brobdingnagian carrot cake muffin, enough for "a week of eating," for his first place age group finish of 23:03 over the hilly 5K X-C course. Way to go, Dave-o! A belated welcome to FRNY racing goes to Alison Casillo, whose first NYRR race for our team was the Bronx Half Marathon, and it was also Alison’s first half marathon. This weekend there is no NYRR road race. The NYRR long training run #2 is on Saturday and it has reached its cap (see weekly long run section for more info). For you cross-country enthusiasts, the season-opening Henry Isola Classic, a 4-miler, will take place in Van Cortlandt Park on Sunday at 11:30.

You should only increase intensity OR distance each �week. Do not increase both in the same week. And definitely listen to your body. Rest should become an important part of your workout regimen.

Weekly Race Report Summer Streets This Saturday Weekly Long Run Training Tip Multisport Updates Sunset and Suds 5K Win a Free Watch by Answering this Question Correctly Did You Know Weekly Race Report Who could have imagined better conditions for an August half marathon than the cool, dry day we were finally rewarded with last Sunday in the Bronx. Potholes on the Concourse aside, it was a perfect summer race day for the 55 Front Runners who completed the 13.1 mile course laid out over only about 7 miles of roads. And to you poo-pooers of out and back courses, let’s not forget how great it is to shout out to and be shouted at by all those counter-direction runners! First across the finish for the men’s team was Rich Velazquez, riding high on his Gay Games successes with a fantastic 1:16:15 (5th in age, 17th overall). The "top five" group was filled out with excellent performances from Chris Stoia (1:27:58, 8th in age), Steven Waldon (1:29:21, and who, by the way, got a late start and gave words of encouragement to all the orange dots he passed while bobbing and weaving through the field), Patrick Guilfoyle (1:30:04, 6th in age), and Matt Anderson (1:31:12). A "well done" to the women’s top-fivers Rachel Hitchcock (1:45:55), Debbie Li (1:47:15), Alison McKenna (1:52:00 - another naught-naught finish time), Jen Ishii (1:52:04), and Bernie Janelle (1:54:15). Oh, what the heck, here’s the rest of the FR gals, and thanks to all of you for taking an early wake-up call and to travel to the only borough on the mainland U.S. for a 7:00 AM start: Cindy Hearing (2:02:08), Melissa Comerchero (2:07:02), Annie Eckstein (2:09:20), Rachel Kliegman (2:11:48 - special kudos to RayK for toughing it out through some serious malaise), Melissa Kelson (2:13:51), Alison Casillo (2:23:23), Kelli Currie (2:59:49), and Ruth Gursky (3:24:46). Congratulations to these additional NYRR Honor Roll achievers: Richard White (1:34:07, 9th in age) and Scott Emmons (1:53:49, 3rd �in age). Woo-hoo, that Scott is cleaning up in his new age group! And a congrats as well to Michael Sanderson for setting a new half marathon PR (1:24:19)! Escaping the summer heat of New York, several Front Runners headed up to cooler climes to do some racing of their own. On August 8, Andrew Butler and Doug Larsen ran the Alaska Wildlife Alliance’s 4th Annual 5K Run Wild for Wildlife in Anchorage, Alaska. Andrew placed fourth overall with a speedy time of 22:44, and Doug came in right afterwards in fifth place at 22:48. Both won first place in their respective age groups! Great job! And on Saturday, our resident marathon maniacs Zander Ross and Richard Ervais ran the Helsinki City Marathon. The course wound along the famed lakes and oceanside of Helsinki and through the woods. Although the race didn’t start until 3:00 in the afternoon (seriously complicating carbo-loading matters) and temperatures approached a balmy and humid 80 degrees, the duo finished strong and did us proud, with Richard coming it at 4:01:55 and Zander finishing soon afterwards at 4:37:44. Way to go, guys! Our apologies to those we omitted from the list of points race perfect attendance contenders in last week’s Gram. The complete list of six (as we know it) is: Amy Adams, Scott Emmons, Patrick Guilfoyle, Sam LaFata, Emily Myers, and Paul Racine. This Saturday is the Percy Sutton Harlem 5K Run,with an 8:30 AM start on St. Nicholas Ave near 135th St. In-person sign-up at NYRR is still available. The next points race is the Fitness Mind, Body + Spirit Games 4-miler on Saturday, September 11, with separate men’s (9:00 AM) and women’s (10:00) races. These start times are 1 hour later than originally announced. See you on the roads! Summer Streets This Saturday Enjoy the last Saturday of New York City’s "Summer Streets" with an alternate fun run down Park Avenue. We will still meet at the same time and place for bag drop and the intro circle. Weekly Long Run We are making a change in the schedule and doing our organized long run on SATURDAY. We’ve had some requests to incorporate City Streets into the long run, so we’ll do that this weekend. The run will start Saturday morning 9 am at Rutgers. The course will run through CP, across the 72nd St transverse to the street closures that run along E 72nd, Park Ave, 4th Ave and Lafayette Ave to the Brooklyn Bridge. Cross the bridge and make your turnaround at the base of the Brooklyn side of the bridge. Total mileage for this course is 14 miles, which is the recommended distance for this week. See map below for City Street closures. Please note that City Streets is a fun course, however you will need to stop regularly for crosstown traffic. And while there are some water stops, it’s always a good idea to bring your own water or cash to buy it along the way. As always feel free to contact us with questions and comments (longruns@frny.org). Map: http://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/summerstreets/html/route/route.shtml See who’s signed up for long runs: http://tinyurl.com/2bqn3lc Long run calendar: http://tinyurl.com/29kmu4b Training Tip Following a plan (especially for marathoners) is a great idea. However, do not be a slave to it. If you’re having an off-day, or the weather doesn’t allow you to run, or you’re just not able to get your run in, do not try to cram your training in. Be flexible and adjust your training schedule. Your training will still be effective. Be sensible! Multisport Updates We wish luck to those racing the Timberman Half IronMan. We are looking for relay members for the ToughMan triathlon on September 12 in Westchester. For more information on this event, click here -- http://www.westchestertoughman.com/. Pick up a tri singlet on Wednesdays or Saturdays to represent our club in your next race. All sizes are available! Send us your remaining race schedule, ask us questions, join our e-mail list, or simply get more information by e-mailing us at multisport@frny.com. Sunset and Suds 5K Urban Athletics and the Harriers are hosting the Second "Sunset and Suds 5k" in Riverside Park on Thursday Aug 26th at 7pm. This is a flat course and a great way to do a smaller race in a different setting! Race registration will soon be available on UA’s �website: http://www.urbanathleticsnyc.com/ and spots are limited. Last year they gave out a technical shirt and the first beer was free after the race. Pencil it into your calendars! As an FYI, this run will take the place of our Thursday night track workout for August 26th. Win a Free Watch by Answering this Question Correctly How well do you know your fellow Front Runners? You have the opportunity to win a free watch (courtesy of club sponsor UA) if you answer the following question about one of your teammates that can be found in the profile of the month archive (http://www.frny.org/about/profiles/). If the question pertains to you, I would ask that you exempt yourself. While your looking for the answers, give some of those old profiles a read! This week’s question: This Front Runner carried a lady bug bauble with her or him for good luck while running the Chicago marathon. First person to email the answer to president@frny.org wins the first watch! Urban Athletics has been kind enough to agree to supply one Timex watch per month ($50 value) to FRNY so that we can keep this trivia contest alive, so look for another question come September! Did You Know? Running with a newcomer is one of the best ways to give back to the club. It has come to our attention recently that on Wednesday nights we may need to keep a better eye out for our first time runners. Please realize that if a newcomer is left in the park alone to finish his or her run, that runner will probably never come back to FRNY and may tell others not to bother with the club. And worst of all, the runner won’t feel very good about themselves! The best PR we have as a club is word of mouth, and we are a fantastic group with many kind and gifted runners. Consider running with a newbie instead of your tried and true posse the next Wednesday night (or Saturday AM) you run with the club! Featured this week are (photo credits in parentheses): Cenk Bulbul, Michael Grubb with Tim Guscott in background at Bronx Half (from Cenk’s facebook page); Katrina Amaro and Sharon Abbott carbo-loading in Koln (Katrina Amaro); Marty McElhiney and Kelsey Louie scoping out the -- hmm ... competition? -- at the track in Koln (Katrina Amaro); and Rob Hoerburger, Seth Richardson and Cenk Bulbul enjoying the potholes of the Bronx Half Marathon (Cenk’s facebook page). � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Saturday morning saw some lightning-fast running at the NYRR Team Championships 5-miler, the pinnacle of NYRR’s year-long team points series. With the race counting for double points in the team competition, our rivals brought out their fastest racers -- but FRNY gave them a run for their money. John MacConnell led the men to a 12th place team finish, with a jaw-dropping 26:43 (5:20 pace). Right on John’s tail were Chris Fisher (28:49, PR) and Bret Shuford (29:41), both running under 6-minute pace! Rounding out the top ten to score for the team were Jerry McDonnell (30:10), Michael Sanderson (30:35, PR), Steve Waldon (30:29, PR), Evan Mulvihill (30:55), Ramon Frisneda (31:24), Charlie Herschel (31:32), and Chris Stoia (31:44). Well done, all! For the Men’s Masters (40+), we had Chris Stoia in the lead, followed by Patrick Guilfoyle (32:06), Richard White (33:01), �Steven Gross (33:07, PR), and Michael Benjamin (33:25), bringing home a solid 11th place finish. The Men’s Vets secured a 9th place finish, thanks to excellent performances by Patrick, Richard, and Mike McMahon (34:17). And the Men’s Supervets (60+) earned 8th place with some superfast running by Scott Emmons (38:39), Paul Racine (39:26), and Sam Lafata (55:34). Excellent job, guys!!! The FRNY women also gave us some fantastic performances. Led by Alison McKenna in a PR-setting 38:39 (7:43 pace), the ladies captured 24th place in this most competitive race. Congrats to triple-scoring Bernie Janelle (39:15, PR), Maritza Arroyo (40:23), Cindy Hearing (40:51, PR), and Jill Crouther (41:08), for representing the team in this impressive finish. Congrats again to Bernie, Maritza and Cindy, who all also scored for the Women’s Masters to bring the team to 13th place. And the Women’s Vets shined as well, with Bernie, Lenore Beaky (1:03:31), and Lori Braun (1:12:00) taking home a 13th place finish for the team. Awesome running, everyone! Saturday was also a day full of smashing old records. In addition to the ones listed above, PRs were achieved by Peter Macari, Micahel Cavaliere, Alison Kliegman, Ben Corbett, Gregg Hansbury, Da Ping Luo, and AJ Stachelek. Congratulations to all of you for your amazing running! And if you thought Central Park saw all the fast running this week, think again. Spending the summer at home in Virginia, Paul Grillot ran the Leesburg 20K in an impressive 1:32:54, placing 6th in his age group! And for her birthday on Monday, Alison McKenna ran the Lake Takanassee 5K in Long Branch, NJ, exactly tying her PR of 23:53. And belated congratulations go out to Michael Gigl, who on July 18th won his age group in the Delaware Youth Center 5K River Race in Callicoon, NY, running a blazing 21:48. Great running, all! In multisport news, Melissa Kelson took to the rugged terrain of Mayo Lake Park in Roxboro, NC for the Trysports Mayo Lake Triathlon, a sprint tri with a trail run. Melissa rocked the 750m swim, 17M bike, 3M run in 1:44:23, placing 25th overall female and 2nd place in the Athena division. Finally, in New Jersey, Dave Lin raced the Born to Tri Sprint, a 500m swim, 15M bike and 3.5M run in Asbury Park. Dave finished in a speedy 1:19:01, coming in 14th in his age group. Impressive stuff, guys!!! This Sunday is the Bronx Half-Marathon. The race begins at 7:00 am. As of press time, entries are still available, but you must register in person at NYRR or at the race.

For the next two Saturdays, Summer Streets will also be happening with E 72nd St, Park Ave and Lafayette Ave closed to car traffic from Central Park to Brooklyn Bridge. While we will be planning our group runs on Sundays, those looking for alternatives can add Summer Street running to the Sat fun run for extra mileage without running loops. We’ll have more details and training tips on both routes in the weekly long run email, so if you’re not already signed up and are interested in long runs, please use the link below.

Never ever decide before a race that you are not going to run well. When you get on the track or the race course, put your game face on, and compete! Negative thoughts or negative self-talk are simply not useful. Tell yourself that you’ll give it your all, and who knows what will happen. You might even medal at the Gay Games! :o) Always reach for the gold! If you shoot for the bronze, you may end up with nothing! Multisport Updates Regular swim and cycling work outs continue, please check the team calendar at www.frny.org for details. Tri singlets are available at the church in ALL sizes. The September team targeted race is the Toughman Half IronMan in Westchester, NY. Click here for details -- http://www.westchestertoughman.com/. Solo and relay teams are forming. Please let us know if you are registered or interested. There is still plenty of time remaining in the season. It is not too late to try your first tri! NY to DC Ride to Fight AIDS (with ASC) Be a part of the ride of a lifetime! AIDS Service Center needs cyclists to participate in its NYC to Washington, DC "Ride to Fight AIDS." The four-day ride is September 23-26 and covers 330 miles. There are fundraising benchmarks to be met for participants, but ASC will help you get started on those. Anyone interested, please write to Anne West-Church at anne@ascnyc.org. Free New York Liberty Tickets AIDS Service Center has generously offered us 2-3 seats in its sky box at the Thurs., 8/19 New York Liberty game at MSG.

August Board Meeting This upcoming Monday (8/16) FRNY will have its monthly board meeting at Rob Lennon’s apartment (789 West End Ave., #10D) at 7 PM. If you are not on the board and would like to attend, please e-mail Rob at president@frny.org. Sunset and Suds 5K Urban Athletics and the Harriers are hosting the Second "Sunset and Suds 5k" in Riverside Park on Thursday Aug 26th at 7pm. This is a flat course and a great way to do a smaller race in a different setting! Race registration will soon be available on UA’s website: http://www.urbanathleticsnyc.com/ and spots are limited. Last year they gave out a technical shirt and the first beer was free after the race. Pencil it into your calendars! Win a Free Watch by Answering this Question Correctly How well do you know your fellow Front Runners? This week and next you’ll have the opportunity to win a free watch (courtesy of club sponsor UA) if you answer a question about your teammates that can be found in the profile of the month archive (http://www.frny.org/about/profiles/). If the question pertains to you, I would ask that you exempt yourself. While your looking for the answers, give some of those old profiles a read! This week’s question: In 1988, Richard Walker (then-president) asked this member to take up a role he would hold for the next two decades -- keeping track of the membership/ organizing the club directory. First person to email the answer to president@frny.org wins the first watch! Did You Know? With almost eight months of the calendar year completed, just three Front Runners are in the competition for the "Points Participation" award. Hats off to Amy Adams, Patrick Guilfoyle and Emily Meyers for proudly representing FRNY at the all the 2010 points races.

Race Report New Online Club Directory Launched Weekly Long Run FRNY Bylaws Amendment Process Training Tip Multisport Updates August Friday Social -8/13 Did You Know? Race Report Let the Games begin ... And begun they have. You’ll get a full report when the team returns from Cologne (K?LN), but as far as this writer can tell, the Front Runners are keen to share their athletic prowess with the rest of the world! With no NYRR road races this past weekend, the Gay Games in Cologne, Germany have had the largest showing of FRNY this week with up to 47 participants! As a sneak preview, not only have many of the Front Runners qualified for the finals in their events, many have garnered the bling. That’s right, gold, silver, and bronze medals will make their way back to NYC from these games. (As of press time, FRNY won 11 Gold, 7 Silver and 6 Bronze -- not including relays! Way to go! And more to come on all the amazing details next week.) Runners took a break from racing in the city, but not our multi-sport athletes. NYRR hosted its second Sprint Triathlon event this weekend in Flushing Meadows. Athletes once again took over the grounds racing through 400m in the indoor pool, 13 miles on the bike and a 5k run to complete the course. Even though he’s already qualified for USAT’s National Championships this year, Steve Vizena (1:07:12) was the first Front Runner to cross the line, and the 9th competitor overall. Yes, he (once again) took first in his age group! Will anything stop Steve? Not likely. Nor is it likely that anything can stop three new multisport racers - Mark Mascolini (1:26:04), Sean Weissbart (1:26:37) and Cindy Hearing (1:34:17). Way to go on completing your first triathlon! The multisport bug has �officially bitten FRNY! Since we’re talking multisport, there’s news from the other coast that Sandi Rowe and Rachel Kliegman took on yet another race (after completing a half and full marathon, respectively, last week) - Barb’s Race (a Half-Iron distance race - 1500m swim, 56 mile bike, 13.1 mile run) on their vacation to wine country. That’s right, and they came in 11th of 120 in their age group. In true Rowe/Kliegman style these two ladies celebrated one phase of RayK’s mother’s 60th birthday with a 70.3 mile relay - the 10th edition of the race. RayK did the swim (43:21), the birthday girl biked (3:48) and Sandi completed her second half marathon in as many weeks (2:06). I’m sure some of the other phases included enjoying the region and its wonderful scenery, food and other tasty treats! Congrats ladies! In the running world, we’ve recently learned that last weekend’s Queens Half Marathon marked the first race at the distance (and thus PR) for Gerry Dieffenbach - who finished in an awesome 1:54:40. Battling those conditions with such a great result - and a first half to boot; you’re an inspiration, Gerry, keep it up! Four of our stalwart maniacal marathoners took on races near and far. An awe-struck Zander Ross finished his 71st marathon in Juneau, Alaska this weekend and took a few moments to enjoy the glaciers, bald eagles and jumping salmon found in those parts while still finishing in a terrific 3:55. He reports it to be one of the nicest marathons he’s ever done and that it’s definitely a repeatable marathon despite the very hilly terrain. Closer to home in Wakefield, MA., Michael Jalbert and Mark Crennan completed the "24 Hour Around the Lake Races" Marathon. What kind of name is that, you ask? Well, this race is actually a number of races including two ultra-distance races; one race is 24 hours of running around a 3-mile track around the lake. The name may also come from the fact that the marathon is run at night - starting at 7 pm! Way to go finishing the 26.2 by the light of the moon, guys! One more notch in your soon to be Marathon Maniacs belts. Mark broke 4 hours in 3:59. Finally, Alison McKenna seems to be making a game of chasing PRs - and she’s caught yet another one. In the Lake Takanassee 5k series, Alison once again completed the 3.1 mile circuit, this time winning her age group in 23:53 - an almost 1 minute PR for Alison! Awesome! Next weekend, the Games in Cologne will close, but the Team Championships will heat up the park. This Saturday at 8:00 the men take on the 5-mile course, to be followed closely at 9:00 for the women’s shot at the 5 miles. Come out in your Front Runner gear to experience this once-a-year, feels-like-a-high-school-pep-rally event!

Training Tip We are in the midst of Gay Games, and as I prepare myself and the rest of the team, I am reminded of something really important about competition. There are many ways to measure success. Sometimes it might mean a gold medal; sometimes a pr; sometimes finishing the race; and sometimes just showing up. However you define it, when you compete, bring your "A" game and try your best. If you do, you’ll feel like a winner! Multisport Updates Singlets are in and available at Rutgers now! Buy them now while they’re hot! Ample sizing options across the board. Swimming continues to be held on Monday nights. Cycling resumes on Thursday mornings. Check calendar at www.frny.org for more details.

The course is fast and flat and so much fun. There are relay options too. Both races can be found at this link http://www.nytri.org/calender.cfm.

"The seas boil, wine sours, dogs grow mad, and all creatures become languid." (Brady, Clavis Calendarium, 1813.) Except there are no languid Front Runner creatures, for whom dog days mean putting their "dogs" to good use in races and multi-sport events all over the place. The heat and humidity had already risen to oppressive levels at 7:00am in Flushing Meadow Park on Saturday, but 51 undaunted Front Runners (and 3632 others) made it to the finish line of the Queens Half Marathon. The new course, which got generally favorable reviews, began with an out and back on College Point Boulevard to a turnaround that just kissed the old course to maintain the race’s historical ties with College Point. Once back in Flushing Meadow, the race meandered through the 1255-acre park with its welcome shade trees, to a finish near the Fountain of the Planets, once the mightiest fountain on the planet. Richard Velazquez was the first FR male, with a super-impressive 1:20:35, 10th place overall and 4th in his age group. Richard was followed by Chris Stoia (1:32:28, 5th in age), Steven Waldon (1:35:00), Patrick Guilfoyle (1:36:41, 9th in age), and John Adelman (1:36:45). For the women, Barbara Finnegan was first in a speedy 1:40:24, 20th woman and 7th in her age group. Bernie Janelle (2:02:49, 8th in age), Rachel Hitchcock (2:04:52), Michelle Puchon (2:07:40), and Blossom Coryat (2:08:43) followed Barbara to take the honors for the club’s top five. Humongous kudos to Scott Emmons (2:03:53), enjoying continued success in a new age group: he snagged the second place trophy! Ah, to be a swift runner and Medicare card holder! Big congratulations and and a hearty welcome to new member Joe Baker who ran the half as his first race ever in 1:56:51. A 13.1-miler in such sultry conditions for a first race, now that’s impressive! Congratulations to all Queens finishers, and finisher-queens, whether they hold Medicare cards, MetroCards, credit cards, or student ID cards! Browse the complete results at this link. Race co-captain Dave Lin reports in from upstate: "Five Front Runner tracksters literally ran circles around their competition at the Lockport 100-Mile Relay outside Buffalo. The high-octane race required teams of up to 10 runners to complete their miles in 402 dizzying laps of a 400-meter outdoor track. Showing the indomitable might of FRNY’s speedy runners, Derek Petti, John MacConnell, Mike Totaro, Kelsey Louie and Dave Lin teamed up with Lockport residents �Mitch, Drew, Ron, Judy and Julie (ages 14 to 45) to capture first place against some ferocious competition!! Team FRNY and Friends finished the course in a near record-setting 8:58:27, beating the 2nd place Iroquois (NY) High School Track and Cross-Country Team by over an hour! Drawing the awe from spectators and competitors alike, the team averaged 80-second 400m laps -- that’s a 5:23 per mile pace -- and were featured prominently in the Lockport Journal the next day." Congratulations, guys! Sandi Rowe, Rachel Kliegman, and Rachel Cutler spent their dog-day weekend on the West Coast at the San Francisco Marathon, "Choose a Half" Half Marathon, and 5K. The "Choose a Half" is a half marathon covering the first 13.1 miles of the marathon, and a half marathon following the second half of the marathon route, your choice. Sandi chose the first half, finishing in 2:01:47. Rachel K, who decided on race day that she wasn’t content to stop at 13.1 miles, went on to complete the full marathon in 4:03:00. Rachel C, on the mend from an injury, took to the streets for the 5K. Congratulations, ladies, and welcome back to the roads, Rachel C! In Craig Booth’s own words his running career has come down to this: after being passed by an 8-year old near the finish of a 5K in Amagansett, NY on Sunday, there was no way this was going to stand. He mustered the speed to pass the young lady (and her father) to nudge them out by seconds, in 28:25. Way to represent the boomers, Craig! Quoting Michael Gigl on triathloning, "...consistently mediocre in each discipline will yield a decent finish." A 2:49:01 for Michael in the Olympic-distance New Jersey State Triathlon on Sunday was better than decent, earning the busy father, spouse, and triathlete 18th place in his division. Whoo-hoo! New member Thomas Andy Nguyen was first in his age group and the 10th male at the Sevathon 10K in Sunnyvale, CA on Sunday July 18 with a 50:23. Congratulations, and welcome to FRNY! Speaking of first in his age group, Dave Pitches picked up another first-place carrot cake muffin at the Van Cortlandt Track Club 5K cross-country race on Thursday July 22 with a 23:00. Bob Nelson also took to the hills of Van Cortlandt for the 5K, in 29:52. We have learned of additional NYC Triathlon results so we acknowledge and congratulate these athletes for going the Olympic distance! Onesimo Demira, 2:27:11 (PR!); Kyle Mammarella, 2:31:08; Victoria Ewing, 2:52:20; Dave Laurence, 2:47:05; Mike McMahon, 2:50:45; and Zander Ross, 3:21:10. There is no NYRR race this weekend; the NYRR long training run #1 is on Sunday. In-person sign-ups are still available, but it is near capacity. The Gay Games begin in Cologne on Sunday! Look for results in future Front Runner Grams. That’s it for this week, see you on the roads! Weekly Long Run This week’s long run will be the NYRR Long Training Run in Central Park on Sunday at 7am. PLEASE NOTE THAT NYRR IS NEARING CAPACITY. Signup online is now closed, so plan to sign up at NYRR on Fri or Sat or at the start on Sun -- but do so ASAP. Recommended distance this week is 11 miles. NYRR has options available for 6, 11, 16 or 20 so choose your distance wisely and in advance, have a plan for Sunday and stick with it. Check out the options on the NYRR site. Even more so than last week, this is not a race - no one’s timing you so be conservative, particularly at the start. This is a great week for recovery before we begin adding mileage again.

FRNY Bylaws Amendment Process The Board of Directors of the Front Runners of New York propose several amendments to the bylaws of the organization. These amendments fall into two categories: 1) those associated with changes to the Charitable Foundation of Front Runners New York; and 2) those designed to address changes in club communications due to developments in technology. To read about the proposed changes and timeline for the process, and to see the current bylaws, please click here: http://frny.org/members/2010_FRNY_Bylaws_Amendment_Process.php. You can also access this memo through www.frny.org by clicking on �the "Members Only" tab on the left side. For questions and feedback, please email Megan Jenkins at directoratlarge1@frny.org. Training Tip The week before a big race, besides tapering, be sure to sharpen your skills for that race. For those going to the Gay Games, this means running a few miles at race pace. If you are sprinting, then it means running a few intervals at top speed. For people running a relay, this means practicing baton passes. For a marathon, this will include running marathon pace miles at a track. Not only will these help you physically, but it should make you more confident on race day. Multisport Updates Calling all multisport athletes and injured runners, alike! Swimming comtinues to be held on Monday nights.

Race Report Sunday Long Run Training Tip Multisport Updates Did You Know? Race Report Multi-Sport Mania swept through the Front Runner ranks this past weekend. Our fearless athletes braved the murky Hudson River, tumultuous Jersey shore, hilly highways and 90?+ heat to compete in two triathlons. The Metroman Triathlon in Asbury Park, New Jersey brought Front Runners across the bridge and through the tunnel to compete in Intermediate and Sprint Distance Triathlons. Intermediate Tri: 1500m Swim, 21 Mile Bike, 10K Run Alison McKenna raced as a Gay Hooker this weekend. Don’t worry, an intervention is not needed. Alison felt lucky to be cheered on by her long time local tri club, the Sandy Hookers along with the FRNY clapping contingent. Like any good Gay Hooker, Alison spanked the race senseless by finishing 6th in her Age group with a time of 2:49:40 (29:26s, 1:21:45b, 54:49r). Front Runners swept the top three spots in the relay division! The first place relay team was Daniel Guralnick, John MacConnell and Philip Neuman followed by 2nd place Rachel Cutler (swim and bike) and Derek Petti (run) and 3rd place Dave Lin (swim and bike) and Anthony Ng (run). Phenomenal racing athletes! We also saw some astonishing 1st place Age group finishes from Steve Vizena 2:09:09 (23:55s 1:01:56b 39:59r) and Dave Pitches 2:43:26 (35:51s 1:13:25b 50:49r). The dynamic team of Gemma Sanz de la Serna (swim), Cindy Hearing �(bike), Bernie Janelle (run) conquered this event along with solid, solo performances by Mike Terry 2:13:35 (24:19s 1:03:07b 42:30r) and Chris Stoia 2:21:16 (33:46s 1:05:28b 38:37r). Three cheers for your accomplishments! Tackling the Sprint Distance (750m Swim, 10.5 Mi Bike, 5K Run) was Jeff Werner 1:20:20 (17:22s 38:31b 20:36r). Way to go Jeff! The Nautica New York City Triathlon is an Olympic Distance race consisting of a 1500m (1.5k) swim, a 40k bike, and a 10k run. Our athletes daringly swam in the potent waters of the Hudson River before biking along Manhattan’s West Side Highway and finally finishing with a run in Central Park. Like a Habanero Chili Pepper Katrina Amaro heated up the Tri course by blasting through her 4-year goal of completing the NYC triathlon in less than 3 hours. Katrina had an astonishing finish time of 2:55:59, which marked a PR of 9:25 minutes for this race! Diligent and dedicated indeed, Katrina has attempted this goal every year since 2007. ?Felicitaciones Katrina! Competing in her first triathlon, Sandi Rowe made a stunning debut on her relay team. The vibrant relay team came in 4th place overall through the efforts of Audrey Hoo (22:24s), Theresa Ocol (1:25:37b), and Sandi Rowe (54:24r) for a finish time of 2:48:07! Tremendous work ladies! Placing 2nd in the Co-Ed Division, Peter McGrane (17:06s), Jennifer Ishii (1:18:03b), Kelsey Louie (36:44r) teamed up as 2 Ladies And A Gentleman for a 2:16:58 finish. Am I the only won pondering who are the ladies and who is the gent? A special shout out goes to Kyle Mammarella and Victoria Ewing who both PR’d in this event. Other competitors on the Tri front include: Zander Ross, Dave Laurence and Mike McMahon. Congratulations! Keeping their feet fast to the ground and swift in the air, 73 Front Runners participated in the Run for Central Park 4M, a club point’s race. No virgin to the top five, the Front Runner women were lead by Mighty Megan Jenkins who smoked the course with a 7 minute pace and finished in 28:02 (68.7 AG%) to lead the Women’s Open Division to 16th place. Next we saw Brawny Bernie Janelle (31:40, 7:55 pace, 71.2 AG%), Agile Alison McKenna (32:33, 8:08 pace) and Sprightly Cindy Hearing (33:10, 8:17 pace, 63.2 AG%) burst the tape. A simultaneous finish gives us two lovely ladies to round out the top five: Spry Sandi Rowe and Regal Rachel Kliegman both sharing a 33:16 finish (8:19 pace). Fantabulous job! The Women’s Masters team (40+) snagged a stunning 11th place finish due to the hard work of Bernadette Janelle (31:40), Cynthia Hearing (33:10) and Sandi Rowe (a double scorer!) Can I get a Woo-Hoo? Can I get a Holla? Ali Kliegman devastated all in her path with a huge PR by slashing her pace from a 9 min/mile down to an 8:26 min/mile pace. She tamed the course in 33:47 and is thinking that the sweltering heat agrees with her. Can’t wait to see what she does if we hit 100?! John MacConnell shattered the 4 mile course in 20:49 (5:12 pace, 80.9 AG%), set a new PR and led the Front Runner men to an 8th place finish in the Men’s Open Division. Royal Rich Velazquez 22:07 (5:31 pace, 76.3 AG%, 6th place Age) was next followed by Keen Chris Fisher 22:59 (5:44 pace, 73.8 AG%). The Almighty A.C. Demidont 23:49 (5:57 pace, 72.7 AG%) and Jaunty Jerry McDonnell 23:54 (5:58, 72.9 AG%) were hot on each other’s heels to round out the top five. Way to bring it! The Men’s Masters Division (40+) secured a brilliant 11th place finish through the efforts of David Caraway (25:24), Patrick Guilfoyle (25:34) and Richard White (25:52). Our Vets (50+) team took 9th place with double scoring Patrick Guilfoyle and Richard White along with 3rd place age winner, Scott Emmons (30:48). Woot! Our Super Vets (60+) were lead by double scoring Scott Emmons, Paul Racine (31:02) and Fernando Orejuela (42:48) for an awe-inspiring 4th place citywide finish. Ever wonder what types of wine pairs best with what flavor of Gu? Now you can look to Stacey Cooper for some suggestions. The Napa to Sonoma Half Marathon was an idea Stacey had from last summer when she read about the event in Runner’s World Magazine. Stacey floated the idea by her friend Ed Simon who was immediately on board. Was it the beauty of wine country or the wine and beer tasting afterwards that had these two headed west this past weekend? The pair conquered the rolling hills of the wineries and vineyards of Napa and Sonoma, starting at Cuvaison Winery in Napa and finishing in Sonoma Plaza. After the 13.1 miles Stacey (3:02:57) and Ed (2:29:45) learned that a light chardonnay pairs �best with Tri-Berry Gu. Sunday Long Run This week’s long run will be the NYRR Queens Half Marathon this Saturday. The race starts at 7am at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens (accessible from the 7 train). Registration is still open but can only be done in person at NYRR on Thursday or Friday. For more details, see the NYRR link below. Many will be using this as a long training run with the added benefits of a closed course and regular fuel stations, so feel free to join whether or not you’re not up for racing. NYRR Queens Half info: http://www.nyrr.org/races/2010/hms/queens_reg.asp. Sign-up for the long run list here: http://tinyurl.com/24kb4j6. Long run calendar: http://tinyurl.com/29kmu4b. Training Tip Rest is an important component of everybody’s workout regimen. Often times, less is more. Resting will not only allow your muscles to recover, but it will also allow to you sustain your motivation to run, train, and race! For marathoners, it is important to not do too much too soon so you can peak on race day. For shorter distance runners, this will help you get to race day with an extra spring in your step. Multisport Updates Triathlon season is far from over. If you are interested in doing a sprint triathlon or duathlon (run/bike/run), these two races are awesome and more information can be found on this link http://www.nytri.org/calender.cfm. One is on August 15th in Harriman State Park, those who are strong riders, will love this. The other is August 29th on Staten Island. The course is fast and flat and so much fun. There are relay options too. For those wanting a longer distance, consider the olympic distance triathlon on August 21, Sebagoman in Harriman State Park, with more information at http://www.genesisadventures.com/v4/main.php?left=triathlons?er=sebagomantri. There is also a relay option. A group of FRNY’ers will be going to debut at the half-ironman distance at Timberman on August 22 http://www.ironmantimberman.com/. That race is sold out but you can sign up for ToughMan a half-ironman race in Westchester County http://www.westchestertoughman.com/, which is also attracting a sizeable group of teammates. For those August and September races you will be able to wear those fabulous FRNY Tri Singlets, if you don’t already own one. A new shipment in larger sizes is on its way from Sugoi and should be available at the Church this weekend or the next. Swim workouts continue on Monday nights at the Long Island City Y, at 8pm coached by Mike Totaro. Thursday morning bike rides with Dan Gallagher start regularly at 6:30am at the Columbus Circle entrance of Central Park.
