}; October 13, 2011 Brookyn FRNY Social: Tonight
To celebrate the season and take advantage of the last of the mild weather, some
Brooklyn Front Runners will be hanging out at Mission Dolores (249 4th Avenue,
Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY-- 2 blocks south of the Union Street stop on the R
�Train) on Thursday, October 13.
Mission Dolores is located in half of the space previously occupied by the former
lesbian hotspot Catty Shack (a moment of silence, please). Offering both an
open-air space and a glass-roof greenhouse style interior, the unique venue also boasts
an impressive (yet unpretentious) beer selection and inexpensive drinks.
Drop by for a beverage or two and mix and mingle with some of your fave gay Brooklyn
runners. Front Runner Friday Social: Tomorrow
As an Autumn chill creeps over the city, lets use our next Friday event on October 14 to
heat things up at everyone’s favorite Chelsea gay bar named after a Heart song. No, not
Magic Man! It’s oooooooooh Barracuda (275 West 22nd Street near Eighth Avenue).
Cash only, so bring some Andrew Jacksons to take advantage of the 2-for-1 drinks till 9
PM and for the pin ball machine! Must be 21 or older. Blue Line Run:
10/16/11 The Blue Line Run will covering the last 20 miles of the NYC Marathon
course on Sunday, October 16, starting from Prospect Park. We are asking everyone
to RSVP as soon as possible. Please sign up each runner separately. Non-FRNY
runners are welcome to join and will need to sign a waiver at the start. Expect
full details on meeting place and other logistics in this week’s long run email,
but if you have any immediate questions you can email us.
We are in need of driving and/or biking volunteers both for the Blue Line Run. Please
email us if you can help out. Blue Line Run Commemorative Shirts Thanks to
Amy Adams’ great idea and Elke Gasselseder’s great design, you can own an amazing shirt
to commemorate the FRNY Blue Line Run 2011 -- the biggest and best long run of the year!
Shirts (with or without the back star) are available on CafePress. Marathon
Weekend Pasta Dinner: 11/4/11
On Friday, November 4 Front Runners from NYC and all over the world will carb up
together at Rutger’s Church on the 5th floor starting at 6:30 PM. Lots of volunteers are
needed to set up, serve and break down. If you’re available sign to volunteer
here. Email Coordinators Gemma Sanz de la Serna or Matt Kovich with
questions.
Marathon Weekend Pancakes: 11/5/11
150+ attendees are expected for the Annual Pancake Breakfast. Our preparations are going
well. But, we are still looking for about 4 more people to help in the kitchen to
prepare the food and 3 more volunteers to help with cleaning up and breaking down the
dining hall afterwards.This event has been an FRNY tradition for more than 20
years. Sign-up online for a shift OR email Mike McMahon and Dave Laurence
with your name and phone number. FRNY 24-Mile Water Station: 11/6/11
If you are not running, join us in supporting FRNYers and all marathoners by
volunteering at the Famous FRNY Mile 24 Water Station. The fun starts at 7:45 am on
Marathon Day, Sunday November 6 and goes all day long. Three shifts of volunteers will
set up and start handing out water to the speediest runners (7:45 AM - 11:15 AM), hand
out water and rake up cups (11 AM - 3 PM) and cheer the last runners and clean up
(2:45-6:30 PM).
FRNY Water Captains Jennifer Wisdom and Argus Galindo want to staff an
all-LGBT-Sport-Club water station this year, complete with rainbow leis, baked goods,
and good cheer. Sign up here to be a part of it. Email Jennifer and Argus with
questions. Feel free to pass the word on to your people you know in other LGBT sports
clubs, as well as your friends and family.
Training Tip
Another tip for marathoners: there are hundreds of reasons to slow down during a
marathon. You only need one reason to keep on moving and to keep on pushing. Find that
reason, whether it’s to run a personal best, in honor of someone, to raise money for a
cause, or just to prove something to yourself. Figure out what it will be this year, and
then remember that reason when you get tired and you need to motivate yourself.

In a busy weekend for FRNY, distance runners came out in big numbers to participate in
half and full marathons around the country.
In town, the NYRR Staten Island Half Marathon -- the last of the 5-borough half-marathon
series -- saw 59 Front Runners cross the finish line.
Leading for the men were Kellly Swaim (1:22:27, 10th in age group), Steven
Wengrovitz (1:29:18), Michael Klein (1:33:01), Mike Grzelecki (1:34:40) and Ryan Singer
(1:35:02).Representing the women, the top 5 were Rachel Cutler (1:51:08, PR), Lynn
Canfield (1:57:16), Alison Kliegman (2:01:04), Holly Brewster (2:04:16), and Jill
Crouther (2:04:55).Notable Age-Group performances were turned in by Scott Emmons
(2:03:06, 9th AG) and Inger-Jo Berger (2:43:57, 9th AG).Special recognition go to to
those who had PRs in Staten Island, including Giordano Fusco (1:42:47) and Michelle
Comerford (2:06:29). We’d also like to congratulate Matt Kovich (1:36:51), Trent
Kirkpatrick (1:38:53), Thomas Wu (2:28:33), and Craig Goodwin (2:56:23) for competing in
their first half marathon. Welcome to the world of long distance racing!That same
morning, three hours north of New York City, over a dozen Front Runners competed in the
29th Annual Mohawk Hudson River Marathon. This marathon was one of two training targets
for the FRNY long runners, and runs from Schenectady to Albany following the Mohawk and
Hudson Rivers. A scenic and fast marathon, it’s ideal for PRs and FRNYers didn’t
disappoint.Coming in first for FRNY (and 11th overall) was Michael Sanderson (2:51:40),
followed by Peter Macari (3:04:54, a 16-minute PR and his first BQ!), Michael Grubb

Michael Orzechowski (4:49:45), and Bernie Janelle (5:10:43). Competing in the Mohawk
Hudson River Half Marathon, PRs were again par for the course. Manja Srinivasaiah PRed
in 1:35:30 and Cindy Hearing managed a PR (1:51:12) despite having raced a Half IronMan
the previous weekend.While Mohawkers were busy upstate, two FRNY marathoners were

the year?
Rockapulco Rockaway Marathon - Zander’s marathon #90!!!
It all started on Saturday, October 15, 2011, when Zander Ross reached a milestone
in his running career/hobby. Zander ran his 90th marathon at the Rockapulco
Rockaway Marathon in Rockaway Beach, NY. This marathon also just happened to
be one of Zander’s top 5 most difficult races ever. The course was beautiful, all along
the beach, with perfect organization for a first time race, just only 70 runners,
totally flat....but what made it ultra hard was the 50 MPH wind....the temps were great,
but the wind just knocked the breath out of the runners. He also reports that even
walking was very difficult. It may have been an even tougher day for racing
because he just raced the Buenos Aires Marathon 6 days ago. Zander also talked
about the fantastic party for the runners and families with free food, hamburgers,
�potato salad, sandwiches, and all free adult drinks. In addition, they had live music
and tons of gifts such as a 5 pound box of homemade cookies, a hat, a T-Shirt, a
beautiful hoodie, and of course, a medal. It’s interesting how this may have been one of
his toughest races, and yet, one that Zander will never forget. Unofficial time as
of this report, 4:48:12, marks an amazing sense of personal accomplishment and
athletic achievement. What an amazing weekend filled with both "sweet and sour"
sentiments, according to Zander. Congratulations on the BIG 90!
V.C.P. Cross Country 5K
Another veteran runner was on the local scene this past weekend. Sam Lafata
represented FRNY on Sunday, October 16 in Van Cortland Park at the NYRR V.C.P. Kurt
Steiner Cross Country 5K. The classic race cheer of devoted official Kurt Steiner
(1921-1993) still resonates throughout Vanny during his memorial race each October: "If
you can hear my voice, you are near the finish!" And sure enough, as Sam
approached the finish line, he heard Matt Anderson’s voice who ran with him to the
finish line. Sam earned 2nd Place Age Group with an impressive time of 35:41.
We are very proud of you, Sam!
Detroit Press Half Marathon
And two Front Runners were on the international scene on Sunday, October 16. Josh
Korth and Jeff Schrager represented FRNY at the Detroit Press Half
Marathon. This Half-Marathon course offers international appeal traversing both
downtown Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, crossing the border at both the Ambassador Bridge
and Detroit-Windsor Tunnel. Josh and Jeff ran through historic neighborhoods, around
beautiful Belle Isle, and along the spectacular RiverWalk. Josh took 12th place
overall with a time of 1:18:10. In addition, he earned 2nd Place Age
Group. We congratulate you, Josh!
Jeff Schrager ran the Detroit Press Half Marathon in 1:42:13 for a PR!
Way to represent the team, Jeff! Very impressive! Congrats!
100 Mile Slickrock Trail Race
Our 4th event to report, actually took place on October 8th into October 9th in Moab,
Utah. The Slickrock 100M run was created with adventure in mind. It’s a
challenging trail run filled with breathtaking scenery. Do you have what it takes
to be an inner champion? Brad Gayman does! He ran the 100 Mile
Slickrock Trail Race in an amazing 19 hours and 39 minutes. Brad took 8th
place overall out of 36 finishers. We are deeply moved and inspired by Brad’s
most recent achievement. Remarkable! Awesome! You have reason to
celebrate this really BIG accomplishment, Brad!
Harry Chapin Memorial Run Against Hunger
David Pitches, another veteran FRNY, also participated in a local race on Sunday,
October 16, 2011, in Croton, NY. The 31st Annual Harry Chapin Memorial Run Against
Hunger in Croton-on-Hudson turned out to be a perfect fall day with over 1000
participants in the 5K Walk, 1-Mile Fun Run, and 10K race. Dave secured 2nd Place Age
Group (60-69) with a time of 46:28. He also won an apple pie! Well done, Dave. Congrats!
Blue Line Run Patty: A Veteran BLR Volunteer (photo by Yaryna Wynar) Do you know what
happens when 224 runners RSVP for the last long training run right before the
NYC Marathon? Magic happens! Even though this is not a race, we want to
include the Blue Line Run in this race report. On Sunday, October 16, over 100
Front Runners, andalong with runners from clubs such as the Dashing Whippets, the North
Brooklyn Runners, the Mercury Masters, and many other teams, completed the Blue Line
course. It’s not a race. It’s not just an event. It’s a time where every runner, no
matter what your level of endurance, is already a winner. We applaud every runner,
volunteer and cheerleader for their courage to complete 20+ miles at the Blue Line
Run. Well done everyone! We also want to thank Darin Soler, our Assistant
Coach, who organized this very successful event. Blue Line Run Commemorative
Shirts Thanks to Amy Adams’ great idea and Elke Gasselseder’s great design, you can own
an amazing shirt to commemorate the FRNY Blue Line Run 2011 -- the biggest and best long
run of the year! Shirts (with or without the back star) are available on CafePress.

marathon. These will be different for each person. Think about your past
accomplishments, like finishing your first marathon, completing a tough workout, or
running a PR.

With the marathon less than two weeks away, New York City racing has slowed down a
bit, with most marathon runners tapering. But many Front Runners were out there
racing elsewhere. On Saturday, October 22, Michael Sanderson and Steven Waldon ran
the Park Run 5K in London’s Richmond Park. The course consists of mixed surfaces (grass
and gravel) and winds through the northern portion of the largest of the 8 Royal Parks.
Michael Sanderson came in 6th overall, with a time of 19:01, and Steve Waldon
placed 10th overall with a time of 19:19.
Also on Saturday, Giovanny Leon ran the 13.1 Series in Dallas, with a pr of 1:45:07.
And Richard Ervais ran the Morgan Hill Marathon near San Jose on Sunday the 23rd,
clocking in at 4:11:39. And Mark Crennan completed his 13th marathon, the Rock ’n’ Roll
St. Louis Marathon, finishing in 3:25:44 -- a 1:39 second PR!Meanwhile, in Brooklyn’s
Prospect Park on a cool and sunny, crisp Saturday morning, the inaugural New York Rock
’n’ Roll 10K was held. Representing the ladies were Ruth Gursky, who before
running her goal race (the LA Rock ’n’ Roll Half Marathon) clocked in at an impressive
1:24:08 for her first 10k in Prospect Park, Devon McSweeney PR’ing with a 55:03:00, and
Beth Strickland finishing in 1:15:27.

We are fast approaching our big finale for long training runs, the Blue Line Run,

as possible. Please sign up each runner separately. Non-FRNY runners are welcome
to join and will need to sign a waiver at the start. Expect full details on
meeting place and other logistics in next week’s long run email, but if you have any
immediate questions you can email us. We are in need of driving and/or biking
volunteers both for this Sunday and for the Blue Line Run. Please email us if you can
help out. Blue Line Run Commemorative Shirts Thanks to Amy Adams’ great idea
and Elke Gasselseder’s great design, you can own an amazing shirt to commemorate the
FRNY Blue Line Run 2011 -- the biggest and best long run of the year! Shirts (with or
without the back star) are available on CafePress. Front Runner Friday Social:

Marathon Weekend Pancakes: 11/5/11

volunteering at the Famous FRNY Mile 24 Water Station. The fun starts at 7:45 am on
Marathon Day, Sunday November 6 and goes all day long. Three shifts of volunteers will
set up and start handing out water to the speediest runners (7:45 AM - 11:15 AM), hand
out water and rake up cups (11 AM - 3 PM) and cheer the last runners and clean up
(2:45-6:30 PM).
FRNY Water Captains Jennifer Wisdom and Argus Galindo want to staff an
all-LGBT-Sport-Club water station this year, complete with rainbow leis, baked goods,
and good cheer. Sign up here to be a part of it. Email Jennifer and Argus with
questions. Feel free to pass the word on to your people you know in other LGBT sports
clubs, as well as your friends and family.
Training Tip
The #1 rule of marathon running -- stick with the game plan. Before you get to the
starting line, have a strategy of how you will run the race. And do not change it
unless something major changes, like a significant change in weather, injury, etc. You
spent weeks and weeks thinking about how to run this race, and maybe even trained
specifically for it. Resist the temptation to change your plan (for example, you
might be tempted to go out faster) because you feel good that morning.
FRNY Board Meeting: 11/14/11
All members in good standing are invited to attend all FRNY board meetings. The next
board meeting will be 7 PM on Monday, November 14 at the home of Dan Gallagher (315 West
23rd Street, Apt. 4E). Minutes from the October board meeting are here. The budget as of
September 30 is here. A preliminary draft of the November board meeting agenda is
�here. Please RSVP and suggest additional items to Megan. Race Report
Peter Macari and Matt Anderson (photo by Tom Henning) The first weekend in October was a
busy weekend for Front Runners with a points race, the Norway Run, an NYRR cross country
race in Van Cortland, and a number of our members racing all over the state. Eighty-six
Front Runners crossed the line at Grete’s Great Gallop on Saturday. Leading the field
for the men was Chris Fisher (1:18:51), Simon McDonnell (1:20:40), Chris Stoia
(1:21:14), Josh Korth (1:22:27) and Andrew Crabb (1:23:09). Once again, in an impressive
showing of the team’s depth, all five of the top men achieved an age-graded percentage
of over 70%. (The FRNY men are currently 9th in the Men’s Open A club points
standings!)Finishing in the top three for the under-30 crowd was Kevin Masse (1:26:09),
Steven McDonald (1:26:43), and Jonathan Warner (1:28:41). For the 30-39 division, Jeremy
Reiss (1:27:50), Michael Sanderson (1:28:42), and Kelsey Louie (1:28:48) were the first
to the line. The top three Front Runner guys in the 40-49 group were Damian Hartner
(1:33:16), Matthew Anderson (1:34:53), and Peter Shearer (1:36:18). In the 50-59
division, kudos go to Patrick Guilfoyle (1:23:39-6th in age group!), Gerry Dieffenbach
(1:49:15), and Michael Jalbert (1:54:43). Congrats to both our speedsters in the 60+
division-Mark Mascolini (1:41:30-8th in age group) and Scott Emmons (1:59:16--7th in age
group!) on their fantastic races. Also, congrats to Daniel O’Neil on completing his
first half marathon injury-free and smiling!On the women’s side of things congrats go to
the top five Front Runners to cross the line: Jillian Ternosky (1:50:00), Megan McDavid
(1:51:06), Hilary Lorenz (1:53:41), Jill Crouther (1:56:14), and Alison McKenna
(1:56:37). (For those watching, our women are currently 4th in the Women’s open B NYRR
club points standings!)Congrats to Devon McSweeney (1:57:34) for finishing in the number
one spot for the under-30 division. Deserving of a round of applause in the 30-39
division, are Blossom Coryat (1:56:42), Alison Kliegman (2:01:47), and Linda Romano
(2:04:34). Lastly, kudos to the top three Front Runner women in the 40-49 group:
Carmelina Ortiz (2:03:48), Katrina Amaro (2:09:57), and Alison Casillo
(2:14:36--PR).While we had a sizable showing at Grete’s Gallop, some of our members
opted for the shorter, faster Norway Run. Congrats to the top three women-Beatriz
Hernandez (19:24), Lenore Beaky (21:30 -- 7th in age group, and her first race back
since the Pride Run), and Lorraine Braun (24:27-9th in age group) on their swift races.
Rounding on the top three on the men’s side were Benjamin Corbett (9:50-5th in age
group), James Dowdle (10:44), and Michael Cavaliere (11:22). Way to go!Other Races of

}; November 10, 2011 FRNY 2011 Membership Survey Results Thank you to all of you who
responded to the 2011 FRNY Membership Survey. We received 156 survey responses,
with 83 people providing additional comments. We’ve learned a lot about what our
membership values as part of the FRNY experience, and we’ve also found ways to make the
club even better.As expected, our running programs -- including fun runs, coached
workouts, races and long runs -- are what our members value most. We understand
the importance of running to our all of you, and promise that in the year ahead we will
build on the successes of our great running programs.Regarding club finances, 34% of you
thought that the club gave away too much of the Pride Run proceeds to charity, while
only 3% thought we gave too little. And the club overwhelmingly said it would
rather see membership dues increase than programs cut (81% to 19%). We realize in
retrospect that this question may have given the impression that we were either going to
cut programs or raise dues. At this point, neither option is on the table. Rather,
the Board was seeking the club’s perspective on the issue before it might become
necessary. It’s clear that, rather than cutting programs or raising dues, the members
would rather we reduce our charitable giving. This information will certainly inform
next year’s budget proposal.A common comment was that the Board should be more
transparent with respect to its decisions, especially about finances. There’s
always room for improvement, but we have tried to be as open and transparent as we could
this year. Board meetings are announced well in advance and are open to the entire
membership -- and many members attend. For those who can’t attend the meetings, we
publish the agenda, minutes, and finances in the Front Runner Gram and Newsletter.
� Our quarterly General Meetings are often the best attended Saturday fun runs.
And every member of our Board makes an effort to be available and accessible to
inform our members about club business. That being said, we will make more of an
effort to keep the membership informed of important club matters.A few other comments
that we saw included the need to update our website (it’s on the way!); that "First
Fridays" should be on the first Friday of the month (sometimes it’s unavoidable, but we
will give better notice of when we hold our "Front Runner Friday" socials!); and that
there can be more club support of Points Races (next year’s new Participation and
Achievement Awards will address this).We also found it telling that while some members
thought that the club focused too much on fast runners, other members thought there was
too much focus on slower/mid-pack runners. It’s hard to make everyone happy.
But with all the great feedback that we’ve received from this survey, we will
definitely try our hardest to do so. To see the full results from the survey, click
here. To see a detailed report of all of the comments we’ve received and the Board’s
responses to them, click here.Thanks again to all of you for sharing your thoughts with
us. Here’s to some more great running in the year ahead! FRNY Points System
Proposal Survey
The board is proposing a big change to FRNY’s points award system for next year in order
to encourage participation and smart racing and reflect the competition, participation
and team spirit and exposure of FRNY in and around the New York City area. The board
invites your comments and feedback on the new system now through November 25. Click here
to fill out a short questionnaire. A final decision will be made at the December 4 board
meeting on how to shape the FRNY points system for 2012.
FRNY Awards Nominations
Please consider nominating your teammates for FRNY’s 2011 awards, using this online
form. Your nominations will be read by FRNY’s race captains, coaches, and 2011 board
members.
Nominations are due by November 25. The final voting for all awards is made by the 2011
in a private session after the rest of club business is discussed at the December 4
board meeting. FRNY Discount Day at UA: 11/12/11
Immediately after announcements on Saturday, FRNY is invited to UA’s store on Madison
Avenue and 92nd Street for special discount shopping. Koach Kelsey and sales reps
will be on hand to answer questions about shoe styles.
FRNY Hoedown: 11/12/11
Even if you have two left feet you will have a great time two-stepping with FRNY, 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 November 12. The theme is Boots, Bras,
and Boxers, so wear your FRNY sports bra, 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.
Armory Indoor Track Season Starts: 11/15/11
If you missed the Armory Indoor training season kick-off meeting, and you have questions
about participating, contact Coach Kelsey Louie. If finances are a barrier to
participating in the season, please consider applying for a scholarship; email the
Scholarship Committee for more information.
FRNY Brooklyn Social: 11/17/11
Join the Brooklyn FRNYers for our next social outing on Thursday, November 17 at 7 PM at
Branded Saloon (603 Vanderbilt Avenue, near Bergen Street), a gay-owned, gay-friendly
establishment in Prospect Heights. This Old West-style watering hole serves up a variety
of craft beers, seasonal mixed cocktails, and a Western-tinged food menu to an eclectic
fun crowd. DIrections: take the 2/3 to Bergen Street, the B/Q to 7th Avenue, or the C to
the Clinton/Washington stop.
Training Tip Rest is an important component of everybody’s workout regimen.
Sometimes, less is more. Sometimes, more is less. Resting will not only allow your
muscles to recover, but it will also allow to you sustain your motivation to run, train,
and race! Not allowing your body to rest and recover can potentially lead to
injury or burnout.
Sports Nutrition: 11/19/11
The next sports nutrition class will be on Saturday, November 19, at noon, right after
the fun run, at the home of Miles Harter, 253 West 73rd, across from Rutgers. We
will talk about how more protein can help sports performance and weight management.
Questions? Contact Miles.

Bageling for FRNY
A bagel joke: A man opens an outdoor stall to sell bagels and puts up a sign, "50 cents
each." A jogger runs past and puts 50 cents into the bucket but doesn’t take a bagel.
The next day, he does the same thing. For weeks and then months, this goes on.
One day, as he’s jogging past, the owner joins step with him. The jogger laughs and
says, "I know why you’re here. You want to know why I always put money in the bucket and
never take a bagel." "No," says the owner, "not that. I just want to tell you that
the bagels have gone up to 60 cents." We’ve got some bagelers for the
next few weeks (thank you Michael Klein, Michelle Johnson, Arturo Barcenas, and Tom
Malcom!), and we could use some more! November 26 (Thanksgiving
weekend)Board Member: Megan JenkinsBageler 1: Rob LyonsBageler 2:_____________________

meeting are here. A draft of the budget as of October 31 is here.
A preliminary draft of the November board meeting agenda is here. Please RSVP and
suggest additional items to Megan. Race Report
As autumn settles in, it’s a special time of year for all the local running clubs in New
York City. On the first Sunday in November, the New York City Marathon brings together
more people than any other marathon in the world. With over 47,000 runners from 100
different countries, the marathon is highly anticipated by those clubs who are lucky
enough to call New York "home." We’ve done "Blue Line" runs through the boroughs, hill
repeats in Central Park, and know every bridge crossing like the back of our hand. And
yet while it might seem like those training runs get a little stale every once in a
while, when they’re a part of the marathon there is a bit of magic that happens.
For some like Michael Benjamin (9 NYCMs) and Patrick Guilfoyle (15 NYCMs), this would be
yet another tour of the 5 boroughs on foot. For others like Dan Kreiss, Rachel Cutler,
and Eric Maldonado, this would be their first experience not only with the sort of pain
and elation that only 26.2 miles can bring -- but also with the feeling of their fellow
Front Runners and entire city cheering them on.Sunday would bring the main event of the
weekend -- the 42nd annual running of the New York City Marathon. Snaking their way
through all 5 boroughs, a record 138 Front Runners (26 women and 112 men) put their
months of training to the ultimate test: looking cute for 26 miles and 385 yards.
�Greeted by cool temperatures, calm winds, and clear skies the day was the perfect excuse
for an FRNY singlet and Stoia-made arm warmers. With fashion on their side, every runner
knew that regardless of their finish times Koach Kelsey would be proud.
With so many runners, it’s impossible to give credit to everyone who finished. For a
complete list of the finishers and their times, please visit the NYRR NYC Marathon
database -- but we’d like to call special attention to the following:
The men’s open team placed an impressive 9th place this year, while the 40+ masters took
6th among local clubs.
The top 5 overall for the men were Eddie Valentine (2:45:04), Josh Korth (2:46:59),
Patrick Guilfoyle (2:54:37), Chris Stoia (2:55:28, PR), and Michael Sanderson
(2:55:31).
Placing in the top of the 20-29 age group were Steven McDonald (2:59:20, PR), Kelly
Swaim (2:59:37, PR), and Andrew Crabb (3:00:32 marathon debut!). The largest group, the
30-39 group was led by Gabe Benroth (2:58:19), Steven Waldon (3:04:55, PR), and Charlie
Herschel (3:09:28, PR), while the competitive 40-49 group was represented by John Van
Cott (3:10:34), Matt Anderson (3:14:19), and Damian Hartner (3:35:40). Leading in the
50-59 group was our current profile of the month Matt Tivy (3:52:39), Robert Dally
(3:54:26), and marathon maniacs Rich Ervais and Zaner Ross with equal times of 4:18:22.
And for the Men 60+ group, Mark Mascolini ran a 3:58:12, 30 years after his first NYC
Marathon!
The top 5 overall for the women were Jillian Ternosky (3:52:13, PR), Rachel Hitchcock
(4:06:26), Michelle Mazzara (4:14:06, PR), Blossom Coryat (4:18:04), and Dorothy
Fuscaldo (4:19:09)
Sara McMillan took top honors in the women’s 20-29 group, finishing in 5:10:03, while
placing for the women’s 30-39 group were Krista McGuire (4:23:54), Rachel Cutler
(4:24:30 debut marathon), and Holly Brewster (4:27:02). In the 40-49 group, Sandi Rowe
(4:27:45), Francia Moscoso (4:31:01) and Michele Comerford (4:38:22) lead the charge
while Dorothy Fuscaldo represented the 60+ women with a strong finishing time of
4:19:09.
Congratulations also go to those who achieved PRs at this distance. Being able to
complete multiple marathons is an accomplishment on its own, and being able to do it
faster is worthy of special recognition. In addition to those noted above, that list of
people includes: Stacey Cooper (6:14:20, an 11-minute PR), Arturo Barcenas (3:46:33),
and Chris Miller (who managed a half marathon PR at the halfway point - 1:33:46 and a PR for the full marathon - 3:26:54).
We would also like to welcome the first-timers who ran and can now call themselves
marathoners. In addition to the debuts noted above, they include: Chikara Onda
(3:25:45), Daniel Kreiss (4:03:32), Jeremy Reiss (3:15:11), Eric Maldonado (3:22:40),
Zachary Johnson (3:52:20), Jean Simeon (4:01:06), and Mike Grzelecki (3:44:17).
Special recognition also goes to Jennifer Wisdom and Argus Galindo for captaining the
Mile 24 fluid station. Assembling more than 150 volunteers from FRNY, DC Front Runners,
St. Louis Front Runners, Vancouver Front Runners, Crux, Team New York Aquatics, Gay
Ultimate Frisbee, Dashing Whippets, NYRR, & other LGBT volunteers and friends to help
cheer on and help the runners, they worked since sun-up to make sure that no runner went
unsupported. With commendations from MZA, NYRR, and all 47,000 runners that passed by,
Mile 24 was unanimously the best-run, cleanest and most enthusiastic water station of
the entire course.
This weekend wasn’t limited to just the marathon. This year’s marathon weekend was
kicked off Saturday morning with a new event, the Dash to the Finish Line 5K -- a 5K
that winds from midtown east up through Central Park to finish at the exact spot that
the marathon will finish the next day. The Dash brought out an elite field of
international competitors, American Olympians, and 16 Front Runners.
The top 5 women were Megan McDavid (24:23) in her debut at the 5K distance, Tara Amato
(30:36), Fjoralda Dhrimaj (30:46), Lourdes Blanco (31:47), and Linda Romano
(37:00).
Leading the men in were Trent Johnson (20:34), Brandon Currie (20:36), Kenyon Ogburn
(20:47), Daniel Medeiros (21:59, 9th in age group), and Edward Kennelly (22:36).
In the annual "FRNY Guess Your Marathon Time" game, Kevin Masse was the winner.
With a finishing time of 3:10:37, he was only three seconds off his predicted
�time. Second and third place in the game were Andrew Cunningham (9 seconds off) and
Steve McDonald (18 seconds off).
And while FRNY was crazy with marathon mania, one Front Runner decided to take on an
even more daunting challenge: a full Ironman. On November 5th at the Ironman
Florida in Panama City, Iron Mike Terry completed his first Ironman triathlon, smashing
the 11 hour barrier with in an incredible debut time of 10:38:08, 232nd overall
out of over 2300 finishers. Mike completed his 1.2-mile swim in 1:02:52, his 112-mile
bike ride in 5:37:23, and still managed to run a full marathon in 3:48:01! Mike’s
commitment to triathlons has been tested and he has come out the other side an Ironman.
Congratulations on a truly spectacular race, and for representing Front Runners New York!
A bit further south, Steven Gross was busy running the Raleigh North Carolina Marathon,
a mixed-terrain course that he completed in 3:37:52, good for 5th in his age group.

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, or even decrease it. Increasing both intensity and volume
too much can potentially lead to injuries.

26.2 - The Thunder Road MarathonJust show up with your race face on if you dare to run
the Thunder Road Marathon in Charlotte, NC! It’s the second largest marathon in
the Carolinas, uniting the excitement of road racing, music, family-oriented
entertainment and the region’s rich heritage of stock car racing. Our FRNY Women,
Brittany Freese, Elke Gasselseder and Jill Crouther, had to dig deep to race this very
hilly course last Saturday, November 12. Even though the course had some serious
hills to climb, Brittany finished her first marathon in 5:36:24. According to
Brittany, Elke and Jill just tagged along, without knowing a lot about the course
details. Elke admits wanting to stop, but she pushed through at mile 22 to
complete her first marathon in 5:03:40. In spite of this challenging course, Jill
rocked it with a marathon PR of 4:27:54. Special congrats to Jill for her PR!
We officially welcome Brittany and Elke as marathoners. Well done, Ladies!
�13.1 - Fort Lauderdale Half-Marathon Series
On this crisp 69-degree morning, with an amazing sunrise on a scenic course, you just
show up and run as the waves roll in. It sounds perfect; however, the South
Florida winds raged on the morning of November 13th. Giovanny Leon had to come
face-to-face with 12-15 mph headwinds and 20 mph gusts on Sunday. Even though the
weather presented a challenge, Giovanny ran an impressive half marathon time of 1:47:23.
Congrats, Giovanny!10K Run-27 Mile Bike-5K Run - Prospect Park Duathlon International DistanceAs Woody Allen said, "Eighty percent of success is just showing
up." Or was that Chris Stoia who said that? AJ Stachelek not only showed up,
but she had her game face on for the duathlon series in Brooklyn on Sunday, November
13th. AJ ran, biked and then ran again through Brooklyn’s only forest, past its
wateralls, under the Nethermead and East Wood Arches, through the Cleft Ridge Span
Tunnel, over the Binnen and Esdale Bridges, and around the Long Meadow. In between those
runs, AJ biked the 3.35 loop going up gradual inclines, around long curves, and on fast
flats allowing her to be strategic, as she counted or maybe ate 8 chocolate chips or 8 M
& M’s, for a total of 8 bike loops. As a result of her athletic strengths and
strategies, she placed 3rd in her AG in 3:30:59. Way to represent multisport,
AJ!5K - The Burn RunA familiar face since 1982, Stan More sent in a race report from
Syracuse, NY. He became a very active FRNY member in the 80s and 90s. He
still runs. And he still races. On November 6, 2011, Stan ran the 5K Burn
Run in 22:05, earning 1st place (60-64 AG). Way to go, Stan! Congrats!
Thanks for sharing your race results!.

}; November 23, 2011 FRNY Museum Exhibit Trip: 12/4/11
HIDE/SEEK at the Brooklyn Museum Craig Linden has generously offered to support and
organize an FRNY outing to the Brooklyn Museum to see the exhibit HIDE/SEEK: Difference
and Desire in American Portraiture. The first major museum exhibition to focus on themes
of gender and sexuality in modern American portraiture, HIDE/SEEK brings together more
than one hundred works in a wide range of media, including paintings, photographs, works
on paper, film, and installation art. Craig says, "I have seen this exhibit and think it
is beautiful and a historic landmark that not only art lovers but all interested in the
advancement of GLBT culture will enjoy. As a holiday gift I will treat all the members
who would like to attend as a group to admission."
The reservation is Sunday afternoon, December 4 at 3 PM. Please RSVP to Craig.
When you do, your name will be on a list at the front desk to pick up your ticket.

Pride Run 2012

Pride Run Director, will be leading the team this year with the help of Senior Adviser
Seth Richardson. If you would like to be involved in the planning and execution of this
year’s Pride Run, please email them.
Training Tip It is common to feel soreness after introducing new types/more
intense forms of exercise. Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) will have you most
sore 24-48 hours after the workout. Warming up, cooling down, and stretching
afterwards are ways to prevent it, but when you increase the intensity of your workouts,
it’s bound to occur. So what to do? Different things work for different
people, but you can try any of the following: light exercise and then stretching,
yoga, rest, ibuprofen, an ice bath, or alternate between an ice bath and a hot water
bath. Either way, the soreness should diminish after the second day. Continue to run
only if you can do so without changing your stride. Multisport
200k Bike Ride on 12/3: Check out the Le Retour du Stillwater. Find out more about
this crazy ride here!
XTERRA Wetsuit Sale! We have a November promotion code from XTERRA with great

Race ReportAs the Holiday Season officially kicks off this Thursday, there was a lot of
racing going on, and Front Runners were out showing they’ve got what it takes (and
looking cute as ever as they were setting PRs!).Knickerbocker 60KStaring things off, on
Saturday with a 37.2-mile run, the Front Runner women rocked this race. Not since 2004
when Pat Precin was the sole FRNYer to complete the 60K have we had a woman compete in
Knickerbocker, and this year we had five women! Sandi Rowe placed second for her age
group, with 6:50:59 (11:02). She was followed by Alison McKenna with 6:52:29 (11:05).
Alison Kliegman was next with 7:01 (11:20). Cindy Hearing clocked in with 7:27:48
(12:02) and Carmelina-Gabriela Ortiz clocked in with 7:47:59 (12:34). And yes, you read
right that they ran 37.2 miles.As for the guys, Jonathan Warner placed second in his age
group at 5:05:45 (8:13 pace). He was followed by Darin Esqueda with 5:51:05 (9:26 pace).
Christopher Miller was next with 5:52:28. Tomer Benyair rocked out 6:13:42, followed by
Alexander Kristofcak with 6:24:57. And FRNYʼs amazing Zander Ross came in with
6:47:30, followed by Anthony Ng with 6:55:37. Congrats to all the long distance ultras,
and a special thanks to all the Frontrunners who came out to show their support and
cheer.Race to Deliver 4-MilerUnder near perfect running conditions the 4-mile Race to
Deliver took place in Central Park on November 20. Megan Jenkins placed first among the
FRNY women with a 28:30 (9th in her age group). She was followed by Gordon Ruckdeschel
with 30:39 (7:40 pace). Next was Sarah Wheeler with 31:26 (7:52 pace). Krista McGuire
clocked in with 37:59 (9:30 pace), and rounding out the top five was Tara Amato
with 38:54 (9:44 pace).The guys truly delivered as well. Placing first for the
FRNY men was Kenyon Ogburn 26:37 (6:40 pace), followed by Kyle Mammarella with 26:55
(6:44 pace). Next was James Dowdle with 26:56 (6:44 pace). And rounding out the top
five was Michael McMahon with 27:17 (6:50 pace) and Bernd Erpendeck with 27:38
(6:55 pace). Other standouts were David Pitches, who placed 2nd in his age group with an
awesome 27:53, Mark Mascolini who placed 6th in his age place with 29:05, and Sam Lafata
who placed 9th in his age place with 41:23.Fred Lebow XC Champs 5KLater that same day,
up in the Bronx at Van Cortland Park, the Fred Lebow XC Champs 5K took place. For the
ladies, Yaryna Wynar placed first for the FRNY Women with 28:30 (9:11 pace),
followed by Amy Adams with 31:44 (10:14 pace). For the guys, Martin Mcelhiney placed
first for the guys with 20:21 (6:33), followed by Arturo Barcenas with 23:04
(7:26). And rounding out the top five was Bernd Erpenbeck with 23:12 (7:29), David
Pitches with 23:46 (7:40, 4th in his age group), and Sam LaFata with 36:30 (11:46).
Bernd, Dave and Sam all ran both races on November 20. Amazing
dedication!Philadelphia MarathonAlso taking advantage of the perfect weather on Sunday,
and a sublime marathon course, FRNY represented at the Philadelphia Marathon. Lourdes
Blanco ran her first marathon in under six hours (5:55:25). Two FRNY guys also completed
the distance for the first time ever: Chee Hong Tee (3:43:08), Kevin Turner (3:43:00),
and Giordano Fusco (3:49:29). Welcome to the marathoner club!Also representing
FRNY in Philly-O were Dave Lin (3:18:17), Tyson Pitzer (3:19:00), Jeff Werner (3:31:12),
Trent Johnson (3:30:15), Adam Pollack (3:37:27), Drew Gulley (4:27:58), Alex Panasuk
(4:40:43), and Drew Sheppard (5:55:28).Competing in the half were Rachel Cutler
(1:52:47), Thomas Hoffer (1:46:35) and Tsing Cheng (1:51:24), who made his debut at the
distance.Giordano Fusco reports that in his first marathon-when things started getting
rough at mile 19-he remembered the words of Dave Pitches to get him through the wall:
"The harder it gets, the more you have to focus." Sage advice for us all at every
distance!French Riviera MarathonMichael Sanderson and Steve Waldon ran the French
Riviera Marathon along the Cote d’Azur from Nice to Cannes in the south of France. It
was their third marathon in six weeks, so they "scaled back" the effort and enjoyed the
views of the Mediterranean. Michael ran a 3:06 and Steve ran a 3:19.

It was a quieter (and much snowier) weekend than typical for October. The Halloween
Nor’Easter prompted NYRR to cancel the Poland Springs race originally scheduled for
Saturday, giving most of our team the weekend off from racing...and the opportunity to
play in the snow!Two of our members braved the weather (as well as the PATH train) to
race the HoBOOken Halloween 5K on Saturday. We’re pleased to report Bernd Erpenbeck
cracked the 20-minute barrier with a 19:58, Emily and Lauren his fastest 5K in 5
years, and placed sixth in his age group and Sam Lafata placed first in his age group
with a time of 31:31, making this race a PR of five minutes.
Two Front Runners NY ran the Marine Corps Marathon: Andrew Butler with a time of 4:14;
and, after training all season with the FRNY long runs crew, Michelle Johnson finished
with PR of 4:21.
Also on Saturday, Front Runner Emily Myers (and her adorable girlfriend Lauren) ran the
Marine Corps Marathon 10K. Emily finished in 1:01:36 and this race marks Lauren’s return
to racing after a year of injuries. Congrats to you both!
Ruth Gursky ran the 2011 Dodge Rock ’n’ Roll Los Angeles Half Marathon on October
30 in a time of 3:09:15.
The race captains would like to wish everyone racing the marathon this weekend the best
of luck. We are looking forward to seeing everyone at both the pancake breakfast and
mile 24!
A Special Marathon Message from Zander
WILL THE HONDU MAKE IT TO HER HALE?
By Zander Ross
My sister Patti lives in Hawaii, and one day as I was visiting her, we decided to
take a stroll along the rocky beach. As we walked, we saw a beautiful large sea turtle,
Honu, in the Hawaiian language. The sea creature rocked back and forth as the waves came
and went, her body wobbling dangerously closed to the rocks. But this danger didn’t faze
the turtle one bit. Helped by the waves, she moved along, closer and closer to her
destination, to possibly her home.
I sometimes wonder what makes us move closer and closer to our destination, to our
finish line. In our lives as runners, we come across finish lines more than most people.
Yes, many have deadlines to achieve, dates and times to be somewhere and commitments
that must be met. But, as runners we need more than just those daily timelines to reach.
Well, just as the waves came and went for that turtle, helping her to reach her goal,
the waves helping us reach our goals are our coaches, friends and especially our
partners, enduring endless hours of loneliness while they wait at night for us to return
from training. Or standing by the side of the race expecting to catch a glance as we
woosh by. Those who dedicate endless hours of their time to help us get stronger and
faster and better. Those loyal friends, who even when injured come unselfishly to push
us to succeed like the waves moving the Honu closer to home. Though the dangers are out
there, and almost inevitably hurdles present themselves attempting to derail our goals,
we can always count with those who guide us on the right path.
Well, our main event is coming on November 6th, and as the turtle counts on the
waves, so do we count on the waves behind our backs, our friends and coaches and
partners and I would like to take a moment to say Thank You! Thank you for your
priceless dedication and selfless attention to become the waves that help us reach our
home, our finish lines, our goals. I have reviewed many running items in my column, but
none as important and invaluable as the human spirit that becomes the waves of our
success. You know who you are, and now, you know you are thanked from the bottom of our
hearts. Patti and I looked as the turtle slowly but courageously moved on, disappearing
in the distance. We smiled, and we knew ... she made it to her destination, to her
"hale," her home.
This November 6th, as you run through the city, think of all those "waves" of
people cheering you on, and those who dedicated time for you to see that you reached
your dream. Be sure you yell back a big "Thank You." I’m sure it will be well received.
I will finish our chat wishing all of you running this November, lots and lots of
�success and good fortune and may you all have a fantastic time racing.

Training Tip It is important to choose the proper running shoe based on your foot type
(high arch, low arch), degree of pronation, and shoe shape (straight, curved, or
semi-curved.) Style and color preferences should come into play after all of the
above. Your choice of running shoes can make the difference between having a good
or bad experience, running in comfort or pain, and, whether you keep running or not, and
most importantly, whether you stay healthy or get injured. Safety first.
Looking cute second. A VERY close second, but second.
FRNY Points Steve Waldon and Michelle Mazzara have teamed up to
complete the FRNY points spreadsheet as quickly as they can, starting with the NYRR
races. If you have earned points by volunteering at an FRNY event, such as pancake
breakfast, or in an out of town race, triathlon, or relay, please email Steve and
Michelle to let them know. And thanks for your patience!

Race Report The allure of Thanksgiving races kept many of our members busy this
weekend. Although there was no NYRR race, many of our members chose to race closer to
family or in one of the outer boroughs. First -- we’re ecstatic to report that Josh
Korth won the North Central Trail Marathon this weekend by over two minutes!! Josh
placed 1st out of 423 runners, earning himself a new PR-2:39:34!Also -- we have some
more IronMen among us! A huge congratulations to Victoria Ewing on becoming an IronMan
in Cozumel. Victoria completed the course in just under 14 hours! Way to go Victoria!
Congrats also go out to Onesimo for becoming an Ironman in Arizona. Onesimo compted his
first IronMan in just under 14 hous finishing 1741st out of 2974 finishers. Racing
closer to home and representing the women in the PPTC 5-mile Turkey Trot in Prospect
Park were Ruth Gursky (1:07) and Beth Strickland (57:17). On the men’s side, Dave
Pitches earned yet another 1st place AG with a time of 35:11. Matt Kovich earned a huge
PR (33:20) shaving more than a minute off his previous time. Other members opted to
take advantage of the increasingly popular no rules, no times, no race fee Holiday
Marathon series in Van Cortland Park. Rachel Kliegman and Sandi Rowe competed in the 10k
and Hillary Lorenz was seen out on the trails as well.This was a big weekend for members
racing out of town! Giovanny Leon ran the Space Coast Half Marathon in Cocoa Beach, FL
in 1:49:51. Daniel O’Neil scored a PR in the Saratoga Springs Turkey Trot (5K) with a
time of 23:31. Diane Lowy and Les James both raced in the Turkey Chase in Bethesda, MD.
Diane chased the turkeys on a mostly uphill course in a time of 51:08 and Les caught
them in 1:01:15. Matt Psych raced the Manchester Road Race in Manchester, CT on
Thanksgiving with his brother. Although he did not PR, he did beat his brother on the
4.748 mile course with a time of 35:26! Stan More raced in the Thanksgiving Races in
Baldwinsville, NY, running his best 10K in more than 12 years -- 44:54!Due to a glitch
with the NYRR results, we neglected to report that Peter Macari was the first place
�Front Runner in the Race to Deliver 4-Miler last week. Congrats (and our apologies) to
Peter! Also missing from last week’s report was a mention of Pierre Leveille and Alex
Panasuk, who ran the Philadelphia Marathon -- it was Pierre’s 43rd marathon and Alex’s
first one! Congrats to you both!For those of you thinking about running this time
next year -- marathon runners ran off the equivalent of an entire apple pie, half
marathoner earned five extra slices of pecan pie, 10K runners are ran off an extra slice
of blackberry pie and three servings of cranberry jelly, and 5K runners burned off
their second slice of pumpkin pie! Happy feasting all holiday season!

Call for FRNY Race Captains 2012 All FRNY programs are managed and
organized by volunteers who give generously of their time. Race Captains are among the
most committed of our volunteers: they answer numerous emails, share the writing of race
reports, help one another edit race reports, encourage racing for the team, and advise
the board on FRNY’s annual awards. Race Captains work year-round for FRNY. If this
sounds like a volunteer position that you are interested in, please email to Megan
Jenkins a statement of interest with the subject "Race Captain 2012" by the end of
the day today (12/15). In your email, please answer the following questions in about 500
words or fewer: Why are you interested in being a Race Captain?What is your vision
for the position, or, what will you bring to the position that is new or different?What
do you think will be the most challenging aspect of being a race captain, and how will
you deal with that challenge during the year?Race Captains are appointed annually by the
president of the club. Awards Night: 1/21/12
FRNY’s Tenth Annual Awards Night will be 6 to10 PM on Saturday, January 21, 2012 at
Union Theological Seminary at 3041 Broadway (at 121 Street). Awards Night includes
hors d’oeuvres reception, open bar (beer and wine) all night, a three-course dinner, and
a presentation celebrating FRNY’s accomplishments in 2011. We never want
�money to be a barrier to participation, so we are offering tickets at a number of levels
this year. The Bronze Medalist ticket at $70 covers the cost of the event.
If you would like to help us offer reduced-priced tickets so that all members can
participate in the event, please consider purchasing a Gold or Silver Medal ticket.
Gold and Silver Medalists will receive a tax deduction and be listed in the
program. Reduced-price tickets are available at $40. As with any Front
Runners event, please email any Board Member if you would like to attend but financial
concerns are an obstacle. If you have any questions regarding online registration or
your tickets, please email Megan Jenkins. Awards Night 2011 Training Tip When running on
a treadmill, be sure to use your normal arm swing. Many people run too close to
the console. Treadmills are long enough for you to move back a little to allow for your
regular stride and arm swing. Also, make sure that you always have it set on at
least a 1% incline in order to account for the wind resistance when running outside. Use
this treadmill pace conversion chart to help you mimic workouts on the treadmill.
FRNY Long Runs The new long run season is
underway and you can join us for our last "base building" run this Saturday at 9 AM at

Race Report This weekend presented two NYRR races to choose from, and neither were
in Central Park!Kicking off the race weekend, early Saturday morning 31 Front Runners
showed up in Prospect Park in Brooklyn to race the Jingle Bell Jog 6K. The unusual
distance was a parting from the typical 4-mile route, but presented runners an
opportunity to test out a new distance and for FRNY runners to win several age grade
awards. (For purposes of FRNY Vienna Bingo this race can still be counted as a
4-miler.)The top 5 FRNYers were well-represented by the Brooklyn contingent. Brooklyn
runners took the top 2 spots; Michael Klein in 22:41 (6:05 pace, 5th in age group) and
Michael Grzelecki in 24:29 (6:34 pace) followed by Brandon Currie in 24:36 (6:36 pace),
Joseph Baker in 25:07 (6:45 pace) and Kenyon Ogburn in 25:23 (6:49 pace).Leading the
women were Eviana Englert in 27:40 (7:26 pace, 8th in age group), Sarah Wheeler in 29:37
(7:57 pace), Jill Gregory in 33:18 (8:56 pace), Krista McGuire in 34:09 (9:10 pace), and
Florence Hogan in 37:01 (9:56 pace).A special mention go to the additional runners who
placed in the top 10 of their age group! These were Inger Jo Berger (6th), David Pitches
(2nd), and Sam LaFata (3rd).On Sunday, the Pete McArdle Cross Country Classic 15K was
held in Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx. Pete McArdale, an Irish-born US citizen who won
the gold medal in the 10,000 meters for the US at the 1963 Pan-Am Games, suffered a
heart attack and died on this very course in the Bronx 26 years ago and NYRR has been
paying homage to his memory with this race.This small race is three loops of the 5k
course and challenges its participants with repetitious hills and rugged terrain. 10
Front Runners enjoyed the beautiful Sunday morning through the back hills of Van
�Cortlandt and a whopping 7 of them walked away with Top 10 in their age groups. Leading
the men were Marty McElhiney in 1:07:57 (7:19 pace, 3rd in age group), Michael Benjamin
in 1:14:02 (7:58 pace), Dave Pitches in 1:16:47 (8:16, 1st in age group!), Bernd
Erpenbeck in 1:18:26 (8:26 pace), and Sam LaFata in 2:00:20 (12:57, 2nd in age
group).Representing the women were impressive finishes by Hilary Lorenz in 1:19:52 (8:36
pace, 2nd in age group), Ismene Grohmann in 1:29:43 (9:39 pace, 10th in age group), Jill
Crouther in 1:33:16 (10:02 pace), Diane Westerback in 1:50:20 (11:52 pace, 2nd in age
group), and Inger Jo berger in 1:59:56 (12:54 pace, 2nd in age group).Congratulations to
all our runners, and especially those who managed to race on both days while placing in
their age groupings in both races! These special runners would be none other than Dave
Pitches, Inger Jo Berger, and Sam LaFata.

}; December 22, 2011 New Year’s Eve Bag Drop: 12/31/11 For those who plan to bring in
the New Year by running the NYRR Midnight Run, Mike McMahon and Dave Laurence will host
a bag drop and a "lite breakfast." You are also welcome if you are planning to go
cheer and watch the fireworks. They will host lite breakfast after the run.
If you plan to join, please RSVP to Mike and Dave by email with the subject "FR Midnight
Run" by December 28.
Bagdrop starts at 10:30 PM on Saturday, December 31, and lite breakfast ends at 1:30 AM
January 1. They live at 150 West End Avenue, Apt. 14G (West End Avenue at West 67th
Street -- Lincoln Towers; near the 1 Train at West 66th Street and the 2/3 Trains
at West 72nd Street).
President’s Breakfast: 1/1/12 Megan Jenkins and Blossom Coryat will host a the
traditional New Year’s Day fun run from their home (1960 Madison Avenue, Apt. 3, between
125th and 126th Streets, near the 4/5/6 and the 2/3 trains at 125th Street) on Sunday,
January 1 at 10 AM. Bag drop starts at 9:30 AM, and breakfast will be served after the
run. It’s also OK if you just want to come for breakfast and not run. RSVPs appreciated
but not required. Email Megan with questions and to RSVP.
Board Breakfast: 1/7/12 The first Saturday of the new year will feature a
special fun run breakfast at Rutgers catered by Matt Tivy of Soleil Catering. The
2012 board will be formally introduced. This breakfast is free for the membership.
Training Tip Dress appropriately when running in very cold weather.
Wear layers so that you can take a layer or two off in case you get warm. Your inner
most layer should be a water-wicking synthetic material-don’t wear cotton-it will just
hold the sweat. Your outer most layer should be wind (and water) resistant. Your hands
and feet get cold the quickest, so be sure to wear gloves, and you can lose a lot of
heat from your head, so wear a hat. If you don’t like to wear hats, at least wear a
headband or earmuffs to cover your ears.
Track Buddy Program Chris Stoia and Brittany Freese We
are setting up a buddy/mentor system for the first 2012 NYRR track meet on January 5. If
you would like an experienced track runner to meet you that night and walk you through
registration, warm up, and how to line up for heats, OR if you want to be a mentor and
show someone new around the Armory, sign up here by January 2, 2012. Email Megan with
any questions, or you can always talk to Koaches Kelsey, Chris, or Darin about your
running and racing.
FRNY Long Runs FRNY organized long runs will resume on the weekend of
January 7 and start to offer escalated mileage for the spring marathon training season.
Email Assistant Coach Darin with questions and to join the long run email list.

Race Report The cold and the hectic holiday season did not keep Front Runners from
getting out there and conquering new courses, placing on the top of their age groups and
setting PRs. Under a crisp blue sky and 36 degree temperature on Saturday,
December 17, the Ted Corbitt 15K took place in Central Park. For the women Lynn
Malie placed first for the team, with 1:12:45 (7:50). Coming in second was Bernie
Janelle, clocking in at an impressive 1:19:15 (8:32). Elke Gasselseder was next
with 1:20:23 (8:39), followed by Alison McKenna with 1:22:29 (8:53), and rounding out
the top five was Devon Mcsweeney with 1:22:48 (8:55). Other impressive
performances among the women were Rachel Cutler at 1:25, Blossom Coryat with 1:26:11, AJ
Stachelek who PR’ed with 1:29:31, Lourdes Blanco with 1:44:06, Inger Berger with
1:48:04, and Ruth Gursky with 2:16:02 . Congrats, ladies! For the guys Gabe
Benroth placed first for the team, with a rocking 55:53 (6:01) placing 4th in his age
group. Steven Wengrovitz was second with 58:20 (6:17), followed by Jerry McDonnell
with 1:02:06 (6:17). And rounding out the top five were Anthony Majewski with
1:02:22 (6:43) and Richard White with 1:05:47 (7:05). Other outstanding male
performances were Giordano Fusco who completed his first 15k in 1:11:11; Gordan
Ruckdeschel who improved by over 7 minutes over last year’s time with 1:12:36; Daniel
O’Neil who shaved off 21 seconds per mile with 1:15:29; Dave Pitches, who placed 2nd in
his age group with a time of 1:07:55 (NYRR’s mixed up results notwithstanding);
Mark Mascolini who placed 10th in his age group with 1:13; and Sam Lafata who had a PR
and also was in the top ten for his age group with 1:46. Nice job,
guys! Outside New York, five Front Runners headed down to Chattanooga, TN this past
weekend to run the Lookout Mountain 50 Miler, a trail Ultramarathon atop one of
Tennessee and Georgia’s notoriously difficult peaks. The brutal 50-mile race
featured mostly single-track trails, 6300 feet of climbing, seven stream crossings (some
in waist-deep freezing cold water), and lots of mud, dirt, rocks, and thorns.
Jonathan Warner was the first Front Runner to finish, placing 12th overall out of
156 finishers (and about 250 starters) in a brisk nine hours flat (10:49 pace).
Michael Sanderson and Steven Waldon followed closely behind at 9:32 (11:27 pace),
and Daniel Guralnick and Dave Lin finished in 11:11 (13:26 pace). It was Steven
and Dave’s first time running an Ultra distance race, and Daniel bested his previous
50-miler time by almost two hours! Congrats to all! Jonathan Werner on Lookout
Mountain, photo by Dave Lin

}; December 29, 2011 FRNY Membership Renewal All FRNY memberships expire every year on

President’s Breakfast: 1/1/12 Megan Jenkins and Blossom Coryat will host a the
traditional New Year’s Day fun run from their home (1960 Madison Avenue, Apt. 3, between
125th and 126th Streets, near the 4/5/6 and the 2/3 trains at 125th Street) on Sunday,
January 1 at 10 AM. Bag drop starts at 9:30 AM, and breakfast will be served after the
run. It’s also OK if you just want to come for breakfast and not run. RSVPs appreciated
but not required. Email Megan with questions and to RSVP.
Pride Run 2012 Planning Meeting: 1/3/12 Planning for the 31st Annual
Pride Run is already underway! Please join Race Director Dane Grams for an informational
meeting on Tuesday, January 3 at 7 PM. Dane will present information on changes in the
race’s budget, new goals for the year, and volunteer opportunities. The meeting will
take place at Dane’s home, 405 East 57th Street, Apt. 6E between 9th and 10th Avenues.
Email Dane and Seth with any questions.
Board Breakfast: 1/7/12 The first Saturday of the new year will feature a
special fun run breakfast at Rutgers catered by Matt Tivy of Soleil Catering. The
2012 board will be formally introduced. This breakfast is free for the membership.
Track Buddy Program Chris Stoia and Brittany Freese We are setting
up a buddy/mentor system for the first 2012 NYRR track meet on January 5. If you would
like an experienced track runner to meet you that night and walk you through
registration, warm up, and how to line up for heats, OR if you want to be a mentor and
show someone new around the Armory, sign up here by January 2, 2012. Email Megan with
any questions, or you can always talk to Koaches Kelsey, Chris, or Darin about your
running and racing.
Training Tip It is easier to remember to hydrate during the warmer months, but
keep in mind that it is equally important to remain hydrated even in cold weather. It is
harder to do because water fountains don’t work. Be sure to drink before you go out for
a run and right afterwards. For those of you in the Armory, you have probably already
learned that it’s important to bring a bottle of water with for the rest periods in
between intervals -- keep doing so.
FRNY Long Runs FRNY organized long runs will
resume on the weekend of January 7 and start to offer escalated mileage for the spring
marathon training season. Email Assistant Coach Darin with questions and to join the
long run email list.

hors d’oeuvres reception, open bar (beer and wine) all night, a three-course dinner, and

If you would like to help us offer reduced-priced tickets so that all members can
participate in the event, please consider purchasing a Gold or Silver Medal ticket.
Gold and Silver Medalists will receive a tax deduction and be listed in the
program. Reduced-price tickets are available at $40. As with any Front

FRNY Race Captains 2012 All FRNY programs are managed and organized by volunteers
who give generously of their time. Race Captains are among the most committed of our
volunteers: they answer numerous emails, share the writing of race reports, help one
another edit race reports, encourage racing for the team, and advise the board on FRNY’s
annual awards. Race Captains work year-round for FRNY. If this sounds like a
volunteer position that you are interested in, please email to Megan Jenkins a statement
of interest with the subject "Race Captain 2012" by December 15. In your email,
please answer the following questions in about 500 words or fewer: Why are you
interested in being a Race Captain?What is your vision for the position, or, what will
you bring to the position that is new or different?What do you think will be the most
challenging aspect of being a race captain, and how will you deal with that challenge
during the year?Race Captains are appointed annually by the president of the club.
Bageling for FRNY
We’ve got some bagelers for the next few weeks (thank you Tom Minogue, Drew Sheppard,
Alvaro Rodas, Jeffrey Caprio, Jeff Grossman, Dave Pitches, and Mike Terry!).

Awards Night: 1/21/12
FRNY’s Tenth Annual Awards Night will be 6 to10 PM on Saturday, January 21, 2012 at
Union Theological Seminary at 3041 Broadway (at 121 Street). Awards Night includes
cocktail hour, open bar (beer and wine) all night, a three-course dinner, and a
�presentation celebrating FRNY’s accomplishments in 2011. We never want money
to be a barrier to participation, so we are offering tickets at a number of levels this
year. The Bronze Medalist ticket at $70 covers the cost of the event. If you
would like to help us offer reduced-priced tickets so that all members can participate
in the event, please consider purchasing a Gold or Silver Medal ticket. Gold and
Silver Medalists will receive a tax deduction and be listed in the program.
Reduced-price tickets are available at $40. As with any Front Runners event,
please email any Board Member if you would like to attend but financial concerns are an
obstacle. If you have any questions regarding online registration or your tickets,
please email Megan Jenkins. Awards Night 2011 Training Tip Break bad habits! Use
workouts to help you break old, bad habits. For example, it you tend to
start too fast in your workouts, practice going out at a more manageable pace during
your workouts. If you tend to lose focus in the middle of your races, pay
particular attention to that phase of your workout. Remember, practice makes
perfect!
FRNY Points Steve Waldon and Michelle Mazzara have
teamed up to complete the FRNY points spreadsheet as quickly as they can, starting with
the NYRR races. If you have earned points by volunteering at an FRNY event, such as
pancake breakfast, or in an out of town race, triathlon, or relay, please email Steve
and Michelle to let them know. And thanks for your patience!

Race Report
NYRR Join the Voices 5 Mile Points Race - Sunday, December 4
For some Front Runners like Gemma de la Serna (48:38), and Matt Kovich (32:18), both new
FRNY Board Members, and then Tara Amato (49:02) and Devon McSweeney (43:04), this race
provided an opportunity to set a new PR. For some like Amy Adams, this was her
chance to run every points race this year. For others like Ruth Gursky and Tsing
Cheng, they ran their fastest 5-miler of the year, and for Rich Velazquez, it was his
fastest NYRR 5-miler in eight years. For one veteran runner, Sam Lafata, he earned
10th AP. Our presence was felt all over the 5 mile course with 78 runners, Koach
Kelsey, several FRNY board members, race volunteers, and a lot of other members who came
out to cheer. We thank you for coming out to support this last points race!
The weather, a mild 44 degrees, slightly overcast, was perfect for 24 women and 54 men
to wear the FRNY singlet or to sport the FRNY long-sleeved shirt. Given the number
of runners on Sunday, it’s impossible to list everyone who finished. You can
always go to the NYRR website or the updated FRNY points spreadsheet for complete
results. We want to call special attention to the following athletic achievements.
Rachel Kliegman lead the women at the first points race (Coogan’s Salsa) and the last
points race of the year. The top 5 women, placing 17th overall included Rachel K.
(37:59), followed by Hilary Lorenz (38:35), Michele Mazzara (39:00), Rachel Cutler
(39:13), and Michelle Johnson (39:13). Congrats to our top 5 women!
Our 40+ women secured 10th place, with Hilary L. who led the pack, followed by Michele
�M., and Bernie Janelle (40:54). Special congrats for double-scoring for the team,
Ladies!
Placing 11th in the 50+ category were Bernie Janelle, Inger J. Berger (55:45), and
Lenore Beaky (1:02:23). Special congrats to Inger and Lenore for double-scoring!
Great teamwork!
Our 60+ ladies, staying strong right to the finish, earned 8th place with Inger J.
Berger and Lenore Beaky followed by Lori Braun who finished in 1:15:32. Way
to represent, Ladies!
The top 5 men, placing 10th overall, were Richard Velazquez (27:05 - 5th AP - 79.16
AG%), Gabe Benroth (28:34 - 75.9 AG%), Steven Vizena (29:36 - 1st AP - 85.56 AG%),
Jerome McDonnell (30:42 - 72.47 AG%), and Breandan Ward (30:48 - 70.1 AG%). That’s
a 5:25 to 6:10 pace per mile with Rich taking 5th AP and Steve earning 1st AP.
Very impressive!
Our 40+ men took 8th place, with Steven Vizena followed by Patrick Guilfoyle (30:48 10th AP - 80.49 AG%), and Richard White (33:06 - 74.32 AG%). Awesome!
The 50+ men led by Steven Vizena, Patrick Guilfoyle, and Richard White, also double
scored and took 4th place. You guys rock!
Finally, our 60+ men had no difficulty taking 6th place with Dave Pitches (35:42 - 4th
AP - 78.44 AG%), then Mark Mascolini (36:50 - 72.02 AG%), and Scott Emmons (42:07).
Good Work!
Out of Town Races - Sunday, December 4, 2011
Richard Ervais ran the California International Marathon in 3:33:48. Well done,
Richard!
Josh Korth ran the OUC Half-Marathon in downtown Orlando, Florida. He placed 7th
overall out of 2,151 runners and took 1st in his AG (19-24) with a time of 1:18:02.
Solid performance, Josh!

between 7th and 8th Aves.. Please RSVP and suggest agenda items to
president@frny.org. Training Tip
Rest is an important component of everybody’s workout regimen. Often times, when
it comes to exercise, 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. Rest may make the difference between a PR and not a PR.

Runners who have been racing recently have sent out words of thanks and appreciation to
Kelsey Louie, Chris Stoia, and the indoor track crew, for helping them achieve
team and personal PRs. This week was no exception. The NYRR Gridiron
Football Toss and 4-Miler were held on Sunday, February 6th. Under a sunny sky at
a balmy 38 degrees, the team had a strong showing.
Among the men, Rich Velazquez placed first, with a 22:10 finishing time and a 5:32 pace
per mile, and a 13th overall place. Josh Korth came in next, with 22:56 and a 5:44
pace. Matt Anderson finished in 25:04 with a 6:16 mile, Jeremy Reiss clocked in at
an impressive 25:16 with a 6:19 pace, and rounding out the top five was 2010 Newcomer of
the Year, Benjamin Corbett with a 25:50 time, and a 6:27 mile. David Pitches
finished 2nd in his age group, with 28:20 and a 7:05 pace, while Jeffrey Schrager had a
PR of over 7 seconds and a finishing time of 30:35 (7:38 pace).
The ladies had many PR’s as well. Rachel Kliegman placed first for the team, with
28:05 and a 7:01 mile. Leah Serinsky was second, with 28:24 and a 7:06 mile.
Newcomer to the Front Runner racing scene, Kiley Margolis came in at 29:28 with a
7:22 mile pace. Hilary Lorenz (in her first NYRR race since LAST February welcome back!) had a stellar 30:01 time, and a 7:30 pace, and rounding out the top five
was Bernie Janelle who had a PR with 30:50 (5th in her age group), with a 7:42 pace.
Cindy Hearing also had a PR with a finishing time of 31:46 and a pace of 7:56
(first time under 8 min/mi. in a race over 1 mile). Brittany Freese had her third PR for
�2011 with a time of 34:16 and a pace of 8:34. AJ Stachelek improved her final time
by more than two minutes, with 35:28, and a pace of 8:52. Gemma Sanz la Serna had
a PR with 39:15 (9:48 pace), and Beth Strickland achieved a 13 second PR with a
finishing time of 47:32. Way to go Front Runners!
And a shout-out to Cat Wade, who threw the football the farthest of all the women
(and probably the men) at Sunday’s race festivities. Enjoy the basket of goodies!
 
; Also this month is one of Front Runners’ perennial
favorites - the Cherry Tree 10-miler and relay presented by Prospect Park Track Club.
Check out the website - teams are already forming! Mens VP Dave Lin is helping to
match up relay teams, so if you want to run or you need a teammate, email him.Looking
ahead to Reach the Beach in September, Jeff Werner is putting together a men’s open
team. Email Jeff if you are interested in participating.Finally, a quick shout out
to Zander Ross who also hit the shores of Miami last week completing yet another
marathon (4:08:05). Congrats, Zander! Photos this week feature: Josh Korth,

}; February 17, 2011 FRNY Does Canada, Eh?
FRNY is supporting a group to fly together and stay together to Vancouver for the 2011
Outgames.
We will fly out Wednesday, July 27 and return Sunday, July 31. The estimated cost
for group travel, hotel (2 per room), and registration is $959. Because of the
generosity of 2 donors, FRNY is able to offer financial support for this event--half to
support women’s participation. If you would like to contribute to making this event
affordable for FRNY members, please contact Megan Jenkins. To reserve your space
�for this trip, click here to make a $50 deposit by Feb. 23 To apply for support,
use this form; the deadline is February 23 at 12 PM. Coogan’s 5K and FRNY Brunch
Patrick Guilfoyle and John Fraser are pleased to once again host their annual "upstate
Manhattan" brunch on Sunday March 6th immediately following the Coogan’s Salsa,
Blues and Shamrock’s 5K run. All runners and FRNY supporters are welcome to enjoy
the hospitality in their home at 689 Fort Washington Ave. Apt 5F at West 190th St.,
about 1 mile north of the race start at the Armory. If you’d like to lend a hand
with set-up and join the cheering squad in front of the building, please email
Johnny. You can drop by early if you’d like to leave a bag at their home before
the race. NYRR Club Night
FRNY is sending a contingent of club leaders to NYRR’s Annual Club Night on Thursday,
March 3. If you would like to join the group, please email Megan Jenkins to
indicate your interest by Friday, February 25 at 5 PM. If more than three people
respond, a drawing will be held at the fun run on February 26. Track Meet Registration
Open FRNY members get $5 off by registering online before March 17. Click the
banner above to register now. You can do two things to support the Pride
Run today: register now (if you haven’t already!) and become a fan of the Pride Run
Facebook page. Training Tip
Plan to run the FRNY Track Meet on Friday, March 18! Email trackmeet@frny.org for
more details. Go into each race with a game plan, and then stick to it, (unless
something significant changes). This is my number one rule of marathoning, but it
applies to ALL races, even a short race like the 800 meters. Running smart translates to
running fast more often than not. When you work out, you do it mindfully, and make wise
decisions--or have a coach to make wise decisions for you. It’s hard to make wise
decisions in the middle of all of the excitement and adrenaline rush of a
race.
FRNY Multisport We’re going SKIING! Join us on the slopes of Hunter
Mountain on Sunday, February 27. Out & Active has set us up with an $85 package
deal that includes round-trip transportation to/from Manhattan plus an all-day lift

limitations of our club insurance, this trip is not a Front Runners-sponsored

Kent Lau every Monday at 8:00PM at the Long Island City YMCA! Swimming is
excellent for building endurance or recovering from a tough race. Don’t forget to
bring goggles, a swim cap, towel, lock, and $5 for admission. Participants should
feel comfortable swimming at least 25 yards with their head in the water.
Limited Computrainer Spots Available. There are a limited number of individual

Next Board Meeting: 3/1/11
All FRNY board meetings are open to all members. The next one will be held
Tuesday, March 1, 2011 at 7 PM at the home of Dave Lin, 222 West 14th Street, #6A,
between 7th and 8th Aves.. Please RSVP and suggest agenda items to
president@frny.org. Race Report Who knew that so many Front Runners would
shine in the bright lights of the Armory Track Center? Regardless of who knew or
didn’t know, everyone knows now! Coaches Kelsey Louie and Chris Stoia and their
army of timers (thanks!) have been working with runners repeat after repeat screaming
out splits and giving direction on form, and it shows. This Thursday Night at the
Races, Front Runners’ spirit, camaraderie and athleticism shone as 18 runners competed
in the three events of the evening (800 m, 1 mile and 2 mile). A brief recap is
below, but click here for the complete results.
Thirteen Front Runners ran the mile - led by Josh Korth for the men (4:36) and Natalie
Johnston for the women (5:31). A special welcome to racing on the track goes out
to Brittany Freese - who, in her first race on the track ran her fastest mile ever
(7:14)! Congrats, Brittany!
In the 800 m, 11 Front Runners completed the quick 4 laps in awesome time. Megan
Jenkins led off for the women (2:41) and Rich Velasquez blazed around the track in 2:07
for the men. Yet another PR for AJ Stachelek who finished in an awesome 3:01; for
�Blossom Coryat who took 6 seconds off her last 800; and for Ali McKenna with a time of
3:16! And in the 2 miler (yes, these souls voluntarily did 16 laps around the
track) 5 hearty Front Runners’ lights shone brightly. Ali McKenna, showing her
strength in "distance" led the way in the 2-mile race for the women after completing
both the mile and the 800 m events (15:37). Shortly afterwards, Linda Paparella
finished the 2-miler in her first ever track meet (15:41) (Welcome, Linda!) Linda
reported that she didn’t intend to race, only to train, but was egged on by the likes of
Megan Jenkins, and was glad she did it. She reported: "the best thing about
running around the track 16 times was that I got cheered for about 32 times, with Front
Runners posted on 2 spots along the track. Martha Dao came out just to cheer and
she was fabulous." Scott Fitzgerald led the way for the men, and ran the 2-miler
in 10:36! Way to go Scott!This weekend, many of us were off celebrating
Valentine’s Day in more traditional ways--eating delicious meals, staring longingly into
our "special someone’s" eyes, and, well - you get the picture. But others chose to
celebrate V-day in the "arctic tundra" as described by Men’s Vice President, David Lin.
In another edition of the holiday races in Van Cortlandt Park, several Front
Runners ran the icy paths in either the Valentines Day Half-Marathon or 10K. Big
time congratulations to Michael Benjamin, Ned Russell and Tim Guscott for completing the
half in one piece. And kudos to David Lin, Daniel Guralnick, Paul Grillot, IJ
Frame, Bryce Wunder, and Jim McCarrick on completing 6.2 snow and ice-covered miles.Over
in Prospect Park, Sam LaFata ran the V-Day 5K in 33:41 - perfect timing for a First
Place in his age group finish! Awesome, Sam, Keep it up!And last, but certainly
not least, 3 Front Runner ladies showed New Orleans and Mardi Gras what we’re made of.
Celebrating their 2-year anniversary (wow, has it been that long ladies?) Rachel
"RayK" Kliegman and Sandi Rowe showed John "the Penguin" Bingham that couples can and
should run marathons together! During his presentation at the expo, RayK asked the
Penguin for advice for couples attempting to run a marathon together.His response:
"Don’t Do it!" Well, luckily for these ladies, he was wrong on this one.
They came down for the experience, and they got it (even managing to snag some
beads along the way)--Sandi reports that it was the most fun she’s ever had running a
marathon! And after giving RayK and Sandi a brief 5-mile tour of parts of the
city, Janice Jabido branched off with the half-marathoners past the familiar sights and
smells (cajun food, anyone?) and to sounds of Mardi Gras and cheering crowds to complete
the half marathon. Laissez le bon temps rouler, y’all!

}; February 24, 2011 Coogan’s 5K and FRNY Brunch
Patrick Guilfoyle and John Fraser are pleased to once again host their annual "upstate
Manhattan" brunch on Sunday March 6th immediately following the Coogan’s Salsa,
Blues and Shamrock’s 5K run. All runners and FRNY supporters are welcome to enjoy
the hospitality in their home at 689 Fort Washington Ave. Apt 5F at West 190th St.,
about 1 mile north of the race start at the Armory. If you’d like to lend a hand
with set-up and join the cheering squad in front of the building, please email
Johnny. You can drop by early if you’d like to leave a bag at their home before
the race. NYRR Club Night
FRNY is sending a contingent of club leaders to NYRR’s Annual Club Night on Thursday,
March 3. If you would like to join the group, please email Megan Jenkins to
indicate your interest by tomorrow, Friday, February 25 at 5 PM. A drawing will be
held at the February 26 fun run. FRNY Multisport Last Chance to SKI! There are
still a few spots remaining on our ski trip to Hunter Mountain this coming Sunday,
February 27. Out & Active has set us up with an $85 package deal that includes
round-trip transportation to/from Manhattan plus an all-day lift ticket! Link to
register for the trip is: http://outandactive.com/trips.php. (Please
note that due to limitations of our club insurance, this trip is not a Front
Runners-sponsored event.) Multisport Kick-Off! Join us at 5:30pm on
Sunday, March 13 at the LIC YMCA to celebrate the start of triathlon season 2011!
Meet our multisport coaches, tour the facilities, and experience an adrenaline-pumping
swim-bike-run workout. A celebration with food, drinks, and prizes will
follow. All are welcome!
Swimming and Spinning! See the FRNY calendar for details on Monday night swims
with Koach Kent. The next 2-hour spin class is scheduled for April 3rd from
5-7pm. Spots are limited! Please email multisport@frny.org to RSVP.
Please e-mail Rachel or Mike at multisport@frny.org for additional
information, race questions, or to be added to the weekly multisport e-mail
list. Track Meet Registration Open FRNY members get $5 off by registering
�online before March 17. Click the banner above to register now. The
Vienna Tourist Board, a returning proud sponsor of the FRNY Pride Run, is offering a
trip to Vienna for 5 days/4 nights where you and a companion could discover a city like
no other. Visit the Pride Run registration page to find instructions on how you can
enter the drawing (and sign up for the race, too!). Training Tip
Plan to run the FRNY Track Meet on Friday, March 18! Email trackmeet@frny.org for
more details. Take care of small, nagging injuries or slight pain right away to
keep it from developing into larger problems. Be smart about when to cut a workout
short, or when to add in an extra rest day. Taking a day or two off voluntarily
now is much better than being forced to take 6 weeks off later. If you are recovering
from an injury and are building back up, do so patiently. (The same is true when
you are coming back from being sick.) Don’t run to the point where it starts to
hurt -- you are re-injuring yourself. You should try to stop before you experience
pain -- this will strengthen that area. Again, sometimes less is more.
FRNY Long Run Group
For more information on the FRNY long run group, please email us or sign up for the long
run list here. Next Board Meeting: 3/1/11
All FRNY board meetings are open to all members. The next one will be held
Tuesday, March 1, 2011 at 7 PM at the home of Dave Lin, 222 West 14th Street, #6A,
between 7th and 8th Aves.. Please RSVP and suggest agenda items to
president@frny.org. Race Report Congrats to the Front Runners who ventured

Training Tip
Learn to trust yourself in your workout runs. Don’t be afraid to do a run at an
aggressive and tough pace (of course, you must temper this with judgment--but I’m
talking about paces that are reasonable). Trust that you will be able to finish the
entire run/workout. The worst that could happen is you slow down, maybe not even
finish the workout, but you pushed yourself. This is OK, you’ll learn to find the right
pace. Just push yourself. This will translate to trusting yourself and pushing yourself
in a race, and eventually, running faster times. Save the Date: Track Meet 3/18/11
FRNY Out of Town Racing

Race Report While most Front Runners spent the weekend enjoying winter sports in what
has been one of the coldest winters in recent history, six lovely ladies headed to Miami
to take on the half marathon presented by ING. While Cat Wade (Ultimate
Cheerleader and Mini-van-driving Soccer Mom) cheered them on, Leah Serinsky (1:55, who
fell in love with and perhaps stayed in beautiful South Beach), Rachel Hitchcock (1:56,
Team ASPCA - over $2600 raised!), Katrina Amaro (2:11, despite being sick the week
before), and Jen Ishii (2:16 and Coach/ Tour Guide Extraordinaire) helped Colleen Brough
(2:16 and Rockstar!) tackle the distance for the first time ever. Way to go ladies
- you all certainly deserved the time lounging, eating, drinking and being happy by the
pool clad in flip-flops and shorts!!
On Tuesday, the 1st, 3 Front Runners excitedly ascended to the cold, icy, sleet-covered
top of the world in the Empire State Building Run-Up. That’s 86 floors - 1,576
steps to be exact. Congrats to Josh Korth, Barbara Finnegan, Philip Greenwald,
Daniel O’Neil, and Sandi Rowe who were cheered on by John MacConnell, Kelsey Louie,
Rachel Kliegman, and Lori Braun. Sandi reports that she had NO idea what to expect
and doubted whether or not she could finish. She only had 2.5 weeks notice that she was
in. So, she trained in RayK’s staircase by taking the elevator down to the ground
level & running up 6 flights; and repeated this over & over & over & over again.
Would she do it again? "In a heartbeat!"
This Superbowl Sunday, start the day out with the Gridiron Classic. The
event starts with a football throwing contest (8 am), and ends with a short and sweet
4-miler (starting at 9 am) where you can show your team spirit by choosing either the
Packers or Steelers finishing chute. As of press time, the race is still open, but check
�out the NYRR website for more details.Also this month is one of Front Runners’ perennial
favorites - the Cherry Tree 10-miler and relay presented by Prospect Park Track Club.
Check out the website - teams are already forming! Mens VP Dave Lin is helping to
match up relay teams, so if you want to run or you need a teammate, email him.Looking
ahead to Reach the Beach in September, Jeff Werner is putting together a men’s open
team. Email Jeff if you are interested in participating. Photos this week

the races... The club team challenge races, that is. This weekend was the first
points race of the season, and Front Runners brought speed and numbers to Coogan’s
Salsa, Blues, and Shamrocks 5K despite the wet weather. An astonishing 95 men and
women took to the Washington Heights hills in this perennial favorite.
Leading the men overall were names familiar to those who keep track of these
things: Rich Velazquez (16:36, 6th age, 77.9%), Michael White (16:58, 76%), Josh
Korth (17:08, 11th age, 75.2%, PR!), Gabe Benroth (17:24, 75.3%), and Chris Fisher
(17:36, 73.8%). Leading the women included two runners happily and healthily
returning from injury: Rachel Kliegman (21:13, 70.2% PR!), Megan Jenkins (21:40, 68.4%),
Hilary Lorenz (23:36, 68.3%, welcome back!), Rachel Cutler (24:02, 62.2%, welcome
back!), and Bernie Janelle (24:15, 72.4%).
Front Runners Men’s open team finished the first race of the season in 9th place overall
while the Women’s open team finished 16th. The Men’s masters team (Chris
Stoia (18:22, 5th age, 78.4%), Steve Vizena (18:25, 6th age, 82.7%), and Matt Anderson
(19:00, 71.8%)) and Vets team (Steve Vizena (again), Patrick Guilfoyle (19:22, 11th age,
77.4%), and James Childress (21:31, 69.6%)) both finished 6th. And not to be left
behind, the Women’s masters team (Hilary, Bernie, and Cindy Hearing (24:21, PR!))
finished 14th while the Women’s Vets team (Bernie, Lourdes Blanco (33:05) and Diane
Westerback (33:28)) finished 11th! The Men’s Super Vets team finished 5th (Dave
Pitches (21:37, 3rd age, 77.5%), Mark Mascolini (23:58, 66.9%), and Paul Racine (25:20,
65%))! Way to go team!
Patrick Guilfoyle and Johnny Fraser hosted a beautiful brunch after, which was enjoyed
by all! Thank you, Patrick and Johnny!
Also famously PR-ing and breaking down some major pace barriers (in no particular
order): Tsing Cheng (21:48), Kelly Swaim (17:51), Beth Strickland (35:37, PR of 5:59!),
Brittany Freese (25:35), and AJ Stachelek (26:00, PR of 6:38!).
Also this weekend, USATF hosted its 50K road national championships at Caumsett State
Park at Lloyd Harbor, NY. (50k is just over 31 miles) Daniel Guralnik debuted at
the distance with welcome company from ultra-runner extraordinaire, Tim Guscott.
Tim reports: "Unsurprisingly we did not win anything, but being lapped multiple times on
the 5k loop course by the national elite runners was pretty thrilling. Conditions were
not optimal for spending almost 5 hours on the course, as the Coogan’s runners no doubt
would agree, but at least it was a bit warmer." Don’t sell yourself short, Tim,
you guys are really grooving in these ultras!
Across the sea, Darin Soler and Kieran O’Mahony ran a training run. Well, to them
it was a training run, everyone else called it the Barcelona Marathon. In
celebration of Darin’s first masters race, and in preparation for the London marathon in
a month, these two enjoyed "an awesome day with perfect running weather - bright and
sunny but cool, allowing [them] to take in all the great sights on the course."
They crossed the line together at 3:41:59 and both felt it was one of their most
enjoyable marathons. Darin thought he hit a wall at km 40, but with just 2 km to
go he powered through. As it turned out it wasn’t really a wall but the start of a
flu outbreak that hit half of our traveling party! Get well soon, that marathon is
coming up!!
And back in her home state, Alison McKenna ran the E. Murray Todd half-marathon and
learned some good lessons along the way. Alison reports that it was a nasty day
for a race, with high winds, rain, and tons of puddles to wade through. This
fairly hilly race is organized by the Monmouth County Park System and starts/finishes in
Lincroft, NJ and goes through McMansion country, horse farm country, and then through a
park. The course, which she completed in 1:55:27, was beautiful, but not the
easiest course.
Photos this week feature: Members of 2 RTB teams in 2010 (from Ali McKenna’s
�Facebook album); Mikey Benjamin, Jeff Werner, Dave Laurence, and Mike McMahon in the

relay, but you don’t have partners, Kelsey and Derek will set you up with a team.
Email them at trackmeet@frny.org, and let them know if you want to run the 4 x 400 or 4
x 200 relay.
Training Tip
Run the FRNY Track Meet tomorrow! Email trackmeet@frny.org for more details

You can run both the Track Meet and the NYC Half Marathon successfully.
Immediately after your race on Friday, after you catch your breath, put on some long
pants, cool down jog for about 10 minutes, and then stretch thoroughly. If you’re
still a little tight, use a foam roller. If you are still tight, within an
hour, stretch again. You should wake up on Saturday morning fresh. Rest on
Saturday. Wake up Sunday morning and reach your goal at the Half Marathon!
You can also plan to race 90% effort in either of the races. While it’s rarely
recommended to run two races within two days of each other, this weekend is a special
case.

This weekend, we urge our long runners to race or support! Sunday is both the NYC
Half Marathon and a special fundraising Run for Japan in Central Park presented by NY
Hokkaido Running Club. The NYC Half begins at 7:30a and the Run for Japan begins
at 8:30. So if you are not signed up for the half, we recommend running
counter-clockwise in the park at 7:30a (the opposite direction of the race) to cheer on
our runners, making sure to end up at 72th and 5th Ave by 8:30a where the Run for Japan
�starts and you can continue your run. No registration is necessary for the Japan run,
and they request a $1 donation towards tsunami relief. For questions, please email us at
longruns@frny.org. FRNY Out of Town Race Escape from Central Park and hit

race, on Sunday, May 8. This challenging trail run offers 5K, 10K, and
half-marathon options of tough terrain and hills. Prices increase on April 8, and each
race is capped, so sign up now before your preferred distance sells out. Email your out
of town race coordinators what distance you’re running and if you’ll need transportation.
Final arrangements are being made for the Wurtsboro 30K, and all the seats in the vans
have been filled! Over 30 Front Runners, including 2 relay teams, will be heading out to
conquer the first out of town race of the year. Good luck to everyone who is racing.

Please RSVP and suggest Agenda items: president@frny.org. Race Report With spring right
around the corner, this was a weekend of rest for most Front Runners. The race
with the highest weekend attendance was the NJRR Half Marathon in Asbury Park, where
Front Runners were among the top placing contenders. For the guys, the top three
finishers all were among the top ten for their respective age groups. Jonathan
Warner clocked in at 1:20:49, with a 6:10 pace, placing 4th. Mike Terry was next
with 1:25, and a 6:29 pace, placing 8th. And David Lin had a PR with 1:29:28, with
an impressive 6:49 pace, placing 8th out of 71. Steve Cochran was also on hand,
completing his first half marathon in 2:15. Congratulations, Steve!
As for the women, Alison McKenna clocked in at an awesome 1:50:25 with an 8:25 pace,
placing 14th. Rachel Cutler was there, too, doing a long training run before
heading back to Queens to lead the festivities at the first FRNY Multisport Kick-Off.
A Front Runners relay team -- composed of Peter Macari, Derek Petti, Gabriel Celis and
Tyler Adkins -- showed New Jersey how it’s done by placing first overall with 1:27:13.
And, we’ve gotten more reports from New Yorkers running from the cold. Back
on March 6, escaping the city, Andrew Butler and Doug Larsen ran the Miami Beach Half
Marathon under cloudy skies and a balmy pre-sunrise (75F/80% humidity!). Andrew
finished with the race with a time of 2:04 hours and Doug finished in 2:00. Don’t forget
to register for the next points race: the Scotland 10K on April 10, 2011!

to repair and recover after a weekend of tough running. Now is the perfect time to
either cut back your mileage or your intensity for a week so.

Report
On Friday night, Front Runner speedsters and our colleagues from track teams from around
the metro area hit the Armory for the Annual FRNY Track Meet. Koach Kelsey reports a
record number of Front Runners in attendance, as well as more FRNY women than ever
before! With 245 registrants, we also had more entrants than we have ever had in
the past. Many thanks to meet organizers Kelsey and Derek Petti, as well as the many
volunteers who helped manage our largest track meet yet. Stayed tuned for next
week’s Gram when a more complete report of accomplishments will be posted.
On Sunday, the distance runners took to the roads. Thirty-four Front Runners finished
the New York City Half Marathon. Finishing in the top five for the men were Josh Korth
(1:15:09), Chris Fischer (1:16:32), Gabe Benroth (1:17:43), Kelsey Louie (1:17:59), and
Kelly Swaim (1:20:35). The depth of the men’s team showed through as the first ten
finishers all recorded age graded at the 70% or above. Chris Stoia ran an
exceptionally strong race, placing sixth in his age group and breaking into the 80% AG
club. Well done Chris! Not to be outdone, Dave Pitches placed third in his age group
with a lightning fast 1:38:52. Mark Mascolini earned a guaranteed entry to the NYC
Marathon performance with a time of 1:46:36. Daniel Blausey had the luck of the Irish on
his side in the Shamrock Half and placed 7th in his age and recorded a new PR of
1:26:59. Racing for the women, Ali Kliegman, in a breakthrough race, was the first
female Front Runner across the line with a time (and a new PR) of 1:53:47.Chasing Ali
down were Blossom Coryat (who also raced hard just two days earlier on the track -2:06:17), Laura Giambrone (2:24:24), Beth Strickland (2:40:23 -- PR!), Stacey Cooper
(2:56:39), and Ruth Gursky (3:11:42). Congrats to all! The Scotland 10K on
April 10 -- a club points race -- is nearing capacity. Register now! Photos

Training Tip
Plan to run the FRNY Track Meet on Friday, March 18! Email trackmeet@frny.org for
more details and click the banner above to register.
When you are getting tired in a race or a long run, think about your form. Often times,
when we’re tired, our form breaks down, causing us to be even more tired as we become
less efficient. So if we can remain efficient, then we can travel further and
faster with less effort. The easiest way to do this is to look at your
armswing. Make sure that are still moving your arms front to back, not side to
side. Also check your eyes -- you should be looking straight ahead, not
down. And finally, are you still lifting your knees? Or are they
dragging? These three simple form checks can remind you to be as efficient as
possible, and hopefully, less tired.

additional information, race questions, or to be added to the weekly multisport e-mail
list.

3/19/11 Race Report On Saturday February 26, 52 Front Runners ventured to the best
borough to race in Prospect Park for the Al Gordon 4-Miler, named in honor of a
long-time NYRR board member.Leading the men with an impressive NYRR debut was Brendan
Moroney (23:46, 10th Age Group place), followed by Richard Buckheit (25:00, 1st AG!),
Matt Anderson (25:12, 5th AG), Albert Chen (25:48), and Patrick Guilfoyle (25:49, 3rd
AG).Jillian Ternosky finished first for the women (29:18), with Hillary Lorenz (30:43)
close behind. Stephanie Cunnane (32:30) scored 3rd for the team, while Rachel Cutler and
AJ Stachelek both crossed the line at the same time (34:44, a PR for AJ!).Further
mention goes to Dave Pitches for his 2nd AG performance, Mark Mascolini (10th Place AG),
and Sam LaFata (8th AG). In total, an impressive 9 Front Runners scored in the top 10 of
their Age Groups. Congratulations, runners!On Thursday, February 24th, continuing the
trend of FRNY participation at NYRR’s Thursday Night At The Races, 27 Front Runners
competed at three distances (1500m, 3000m, 10K Relay) to test their mettle around the
track. With a combined 260 laps around the Armory’s 200-meter track, FRNY clearly had
the biggest visible presence of the night.Winning Heat #3 in the Men’s 3000, Rich
Velazquez sprinted his final 200 meters to close on a time of 9:27 while Scott
Fitzgerald pushed the pace to come in at 9:55. Dave Lin is finding his track legs again,
breaking a 5:59 pace with an 11:11. Representing the women in the 3000m, Alison
McKenna began her first of three races for the night with a 13:27, a PR. Alison would
become the only Front Runner who ran all three events that night!With 17 heats for the
1500m race (6 Women’s, 11 Men’s), Front Runners had plenty of opportunity to tour 7.5
laps of the Armory Track.Madame President Megan Jenkins led the women with a 5:37, to
solidly claim her title as fastest female Front Runner of the night. Rounding out the
top 5 was a close race between Cindy Hearing (6:31), Alison McKenna (6:33, PR), Bernie
Janelle (6:39) and Brittany Freese (6:48).In the Men’s 1500, Scott Fitzgerald showed his
track prowess with a 4:38, narrowly edging out Marty McElhiney’s 4:42. Following them
were Spencer Nyland (5:05), Allen Durgin (5:12) and Tsing Cheng (5:27).Thursday Night at
the Races would soon give way to Friday Morning at the Races, as 12:00 am came and went
and the 10K Relay races had just begun. The music-themed 80’s night couldn’t have been
more appropriate, as Michael Jackson’s "Thriller" came on before the relays with its
opening line, "It’s close to midnight..."The 10K Relay teams consisted of a rotating
roster of 10 individuals, each racing one 200-meter lap at a time. With 9 teams (90
people!) at a time racing and lining the track, somehow mayhem gave way to a timely and
orderly race.Showing that FRNY plays well with others, the second heat of the 10K
featured a team composed of CPTC, Urban Athletics, and FRNY. Front Runners on the team
were Bernd Erpenbeck, Marty McElhiney, Allen Durgin, and Julio Gonzalez. Honorary FRNYer
Kevin Beganics raced in position #1.FRNY fielded two complete teams for the 10K Relay :
The FRNY InvASIAN and the descriptively named FRNY Women. The InvASIANS were composed of
(in relay order) Dave Lin, Chikara Onda, Koach Kelsey Louie, Da Ping Luo, Kent Lau,
Ekong Bassey Ekong, Onesimo De Mira, Thomas Wu, Steven Waldon, and Tsing Cheng.
With a time of 27:34, the InvASIANS averaged a 33.1-second 200-meter slpit.FRNY
Women would come through in 34:03, anchored by Megan Jenkins and cheered on by all
Armory stragglers who stayed on until the end. In Lane 4, the final 50 meter stretch was
lined the entire length by Front Runners and friends who showed some respect for the
FRNY Women by applauding a great showing. The FRNY Women would average a 40.9-second
split. On the team were Brittany Freese, Susie Conwell, Bernie Janelle, Megan McDavid,
Alison McKenna, Cindy Hearing, Martha Dao, Mi Puchon, Blossom Coryat, and Megan
Jenkins.A big shout-out goes to Koach Kelsey, who worked with all the relay participants
to make sure that baton exchanges were seamless and fast. Kelsey’s experience at the
track and his ability to work with runners of all abilities are beyond measure, and it
will go on record that not a single baton was dropped in the 120 exchanges of the
relay!A very special mention also goes to Chris Stoia, for timing and recording all
times. Chris stayed until the very end, putting in a good 6 hours of work so that
everyone else could focus on running. Special thanks to AJ Stachelek, Gemma Sanz de la
Serna, and Jennifer Wisdom, who also stayed up late to cheer. Left out from last week’s
Gram, the Hungover Hipsters (Susie Conwell, Mi Kami, and Megan McDavid) were the
third FRNY Female team to finish at the Cherry Tree Relay the previous weekend
with a time of 1:21:57. Photos this week feature: most of the track

a lower loop this Satuday, please email beginners@frny.org.
Training Tip
Think about turnover. It’s a good measure of how you are doing. When you are
working out, think about turning your legs over faster. When you are in a longer
race, think about keeping your turnover at a smooth and constant rate. When you
are getting tired and your legs feel heavy, think about increasing the tempo of your
turnover. When you are running uphill, shorten your stride and pick up your
turnover rate. When you increase your turnover rate, your arms will follow naturally.
FRNY Multisport Final 2-Hour Spin. Our last 2-hour spin of the season is
this Sunday, April 3rd from 5 to 7 PM at the LIC YMCA. Although the class is

We’re Headed Outside in April! As the weather warms, Dan Gallagher will begin leading
weekday morning rides in Central Park. Every Sunday, we’ll embark on longer rides
that take us outside of Manhattan. More details to come through our weekly
multisport listserv. Email Mike and Rachel and let them know that you are
interested in cycling with FRNY this summer!
See the FRNY calendar for details on our regular swimming and cycling workouts.

AM and will start from the home of Lori Braun in Jackson Heights. It’s just a hop,
skip and a jump from the 7 train - then a 20 mile circle route. Please stay tuned

Gilrain-Lennons. There will be running once or twice a day -- training hard
on hills, track, and roads; or simply enjoying jogging scenic byways. There will
be time to spend the afternoon shopping, splashing at the beach, visiting wineries,
seeing the sights, or just relaxing with old friends and new. The expected
contribution per person is $225 with 12 to 14 participating. For more
information or to express interest, contact Mark and Kelsey directly by emailing
markgilrain@gmail.com or klouie@harlemunited.org. FRNY Out of Town Race Congratulations

Escape from Central Park and hit the trails in the North Face Endurance Challenge, the
club’s second quarter out of town race, on Sunday, May 8. This challenging
trail run offers 5K, 10K, and half-marathon options of tough terrain and hills. Prices

sold out, but you can sign up for their waiting list. Email your out of town race
coordinators what distance you’re running and if you’ll need transportation.
Race Report
In the span of two days, 75 different Front Runners competed in three different races
ranging from 4 miles to 30K.Beginning Saturday morning, 37 runners made their way to the
sleepy village of Wurtsboro (pop. 1,234) for the first official Out-of-Town race of
2011: the 9th Annual Wurtsboro Mountain 30K Run. The Wurtsboro 30K is notable for
its start -- a 4.5-mile ascent of approximately 1,000 feet. Individual runners and three
relay teams toughed the long and difficult course, and ended up coming home with some
pretty impressive hardware. A total of 12 different trophies and medals were taken home
by FRNY!Leading the individual men were Jonathan Warner (2:04, 3rd overall), Michael
Sanderson (2:06, 5th overall, 1st in AG), Steven Waldon (2:15, 2nd in AG), Dave Lin
(2:15, 3rd in AG) and Mike Terry (2:23, 3rd in AG). The king of Age Group awards, Dave
Pitches didn’t disappoint, with a 2:47:51 (2nd in AG).Representing the women, Rachel
Kliegman led with a 2:33, followed by Sandi Rowe (3:00), Alison Kliegman (3:01, 3rd in
AG), Cindy Hearing (3:04), and Bernie Janelle (3:04, 3rd in AG).With three relay teams
entered in the event (two female, one male), FRNY took both the men’s and women’s
relays. Taking the women’s relay division, Megan Jenkins, Elke Gasselseder, and Blossom
Coryat came in with a 2:38. The men’s team of Kevin Beganics, Marty McElhiney and Dave
Caraway came in at 2:15 and were the first relay overall. The women’s relay of Martha
Dao, Ruth Gursky and AJ Stachelek took the bronze.A special nod of recognition goes to
the troubled van of Ned Russell, Mike White, Chris Stoia, Manja Srinivasaiah, Jim
McCarrick, and Dave Caraway. Despite a blown tire and a stubborn lug nut, they found a
�way to make it to the starting line and finished the race despite being an hour
late.Sunday’s NYRR races began with the Colon Cancer Challenge 4-miler. The top 5 women
were Hilary Lorenz (30:25, 5th AG), Michele Mazzara (31:58, 7th AG), AJ Stachelek
(34:22, PR - and who had done the Wurtsboro relay the previous day), Sarah Jewell
(34:22), and Alison Casillo (36:09). In an impressive club showing, the FRNY women took
1st place among all the clubs, beating out the nearest club by a full 7 minutes.
Congratulations on the strong showing! Gemma Sanz de la Serna (37:34) snatched
herself a nifty new PR.No less impressive were the men, led by David Miller (26:41, 10th
AG), Dave Caraway (26:54, 5th AG), Douglas Larsen (27:54, 5th AG), Warren Ng (28:26),
and Ivan Dimov (30:20) - good for a 3rd place team showing! Taking place immediately
after the 4-Miler, the Colon Cancer Challenge15K was host to a number of impressive
Front Runner finishes. Kelly Swaim (57:11, 1st AG!), Kevin Masse (58:36, 4th AG),
Patrick Guilfoyle (59:56, 2nd AG), Damian Hartner (1:00:49, 5th AG), and Charlie
Herschel (1:03:36) placed for the men, while Brittney Freese (1:29:34) and Stacy Cooper
(2:03:54) represented the women. Mark Mascolini placed 5th in his age group.Liam
O’Rourke would go on to record a 3-minute PR of 1:22:45 in honor of his mother, and
Jeffrey Schrager also reported a PR (1:19:30). In events outside of New York, Paul
Grillot completed his first (USATF-Certified) Marathon at the National Marathon in DC,
with a very strong 3:15:04. Alison McKenna ran a 4:14:43 on the "fairly hilly"
course and struggled toward the end but was aided by a much-needed friend during the
closing miles of the race.World-travelling marathoners Zander Ross and Rich Ervais were
at it again, this time tackling the inaugural Jerusalem Marathon on march 25th. The
scenic but hilly race was run in 4:40:33 (Zander) and 4:20:48 (Rich).The FRNY Track Meet
results have been published on our web site, and the 2011 points spreadsheet is also
available. Don’t forget to send your PRs and personal racing stories to our Race

4/30/11
Front Runner Tony Majewski is offering restorative yoga classes at Rutgers (in the "Blue
Room") on Saturday mornings on April 30, May 7 and May 14 at 10 AM. Tony’s dialogue is
one that reaches out to people of all levels of practice and invites them to enjoy the
movement, stretching, and free-ness that yoga can bring to daily life. All body types
regardless of flexibility can enjoy and reap the benefits of yoga. RSVPs are not
required but are encouraged. Email Tony with questions and to let him know if you will
attend. Training Tip
Because the next out-of-town race is a trail run (North Face Endurance Challenge),
here’s a tip for trail running: when running on trails, keep your head up and scan the
terrain about 10 to 15 feet in front of you so you can plan your steps around rocks,
roots, branches, or dips. Try not to look down at your feet, so you can see what’s
coming. Keeping your head up will not only lead to a safer run, but also a more
efficient running form.
And don’t forget to email your Out of Town Race Coordinators to let them know if
you need transportation and what distance you’re
running.

Travel & Training
Mark Gilrain and Kelsey Louie are planning a 3-day weekend excursion to focus on
running, coaching, fitness, and fun over Memorial Day weekend on Long Island’s scenic
North Fork at the vacation home of the Gilrain-Lennons. There will be
running once or twice a day -- training hard on hills, track, and roads; or simply
enjoying jogging scenic byways. There will be time to spend the afternoon
shopping, splashing at the beach, visiting wineries, seeing the sights, or relaxing with
old friends and new. The expected contribution per person is $225 with 12 to 14
participating. For more information or to express interest, contact Mark and
Kelsey directly by emailing markgilrain@gmail.com or klouie@harlemunited.org. Race
Report In addition to a break in the cold, and the breaking open of buds, it was a big
week for breaking records for all the Front Runners out there. Congrats to all our
racers!
Here are just some of the highlights: the 10K Scotland Run was held on Sunday, April 10
in Central Park under a sunny sky, with a temperature of 52 degrees. In addition to 114
FRNY finishers and many PRs, the club fielded a team and scored in the Women Super
Vets (60+) division -- an achievement that has only happened once before, according to
scorer Lenore Beaky.
For the men’s team, Thomas Hammer placed first, with a time of 35:15, followed by
Chris Fisher (35:24), Kelly Swaim (36:58), Gabe Benroth (37:10), and Steven Vizena
(37:44). Other notables among the men was Patrick Guilfoyle who placed 9th in his age
group with 38:18, and Dave Pitches who placed 4th in his age group with 45:29.
The ladies rocked out PRs like it was going out of style. Hilary Lorenz placed
�first among FRNY women with an impressive 47:02 and 12th in her age group followed
by Jillian Ternosky (48:01), Alison McKenna (48:27), and Michele Mazzara (49:02), and
Stephanie Cunnane rounded out the top five with a 51:12 finishing time. Other notables
included the afore-mentioned Women’s Super Vets team: Inger Berger (1:14:04), Lenore
Beaky (1:17:54) and Lorraine Braun (1:33:47). Beth Strickland improved her 10K time by
over two minutes with 1:15:09, and Ruth Gursky had her best 10K time since 2003
finishing at 1:22:37. She was accompanied for part of the race by her friend and new
FRNY member Lourdes Blanco (1:21:18). Elke Gasselseder also reported a PR of 51:30,
besting her previous PR by 4:25. Congrats!
Meanwhile on the other side of NYC at the airport, the JFK Runway 5K was taking place
(one of those NYC secrets). Five of the top 14 overall finishers were Front
Runners. Among those top finishers were Michael White with a time of 16:53 and 3rd
place overall. Michael Sanderson placed 1st for his age group, with an impressive time
of 18:14; he was followed by Steven Waldon (2nd in his age group) with 18:20; Ned
Russell ran 18:53 with a 6:05 (a PR!); Benjamin Corbett ran an awesome 19:08; and Bernd
Erpenbeck ran 21:29 with a 6:55 pace placing him 2nd in his age group. Flying indeed!
Representing FRNY out on the road, Mark Gilrain and Rob Lennon participated in the
Carrie Shoemaker 5K on Duke University’s Al Buehler Cross Country trail in Durham, NC.
They came in a respectable 9th and 10th place overall.
Jeff Schrager ran where mastodons once roamed in the Diamond Valley Lake Half Marathon
in Hemet, CA. His time of 1:45:24 was a PR by almost 4 minutes.
The 2011 FRNY Outdoor Carpet Munchers, which included Front Runners Bernie Janelle,
Cindy Hearing, Martha Dao, Jess King, Meggie Hatlen, Cat Wade, Sharon Abbott, and -starting off the tradition of fielding a co-ed team for this event -- the brave,
strong, sweet, and gentle snoring gentleman, Jeff Werner, kicked ass in the Tough Mudder
- Pennsylvania edition. Sharon reports, "we were on the course for 5.5 hours with
minimal food or water. One of the first event involved running down a mountain
past a snow blowing machine, so we were wet and cold 5 minutes into the race. We
would later jump into a freezing lake from a 15 foot scaffold, scale a series of walls
-- twice! -- eat a habernaro pepper, wade through wet mud many many times, run 3.5 miles
of technically challenging single-track terrain, carry a log up the mountain, crawl
across a series of ropes, crawl across some scaffolding over a freezing lake, crawl
across a snow cover ski slope, and, I kid you not, run through a field of live wires."
We’re glad you all made it home safe!
FRNY fan Phoebe Hanshew completed a 30-hour multi-sport endurance challenge on April 5
and 6 which included a strenuous 2.5-hour leg in the birth pool. Crossing the finish
line at 12:35 AM, Phoebe took first place in the competition and, with partner and
athletic supporter Linda Paparella, received a stunning 7 lb. 2 oz. baby girl named Sula
Marie Fox. The entire event took place in their home in Washington Heights. As
Phoebe’s personal coach Linda ensured that she was well hydrated and fed along the
route, and also provided physical and emotional support throughout the challenge. Photos
this week feature: one of the Women’s Super Vets, Lori Braun at the Scotland 10K
(by Ted Paszek); Phoebe, Linda and Sula, all looking fairly recovered from the 30-hour
multisport endurance challenge. In This Issue Ad Hoc Board Meeting: 4/25/11Outdoor

North Fork at the vacation home of the Gilrain-Lennons. There will be
running once or twice a day -- training hard on hills, track, and roads; or simply
enjoying jogging scenic byways. There will be time to spend the afternoon
shopping, splashing at the beach, visiting wineries, seeing the sights, or relaxing with
old friends and new. The expected contribution per person is $225 with 12 to 14
participating. For more information or to express interest, contact Mark and
Kelsey directly by emailing markgilrain@gmail.com or klouie@harlemunited.org. Race Report
Front Runners New York descended on Boston this weekend in full force to support our
fellow Front Runners (and friends of Front Runners) running Boston this week. The show
of Force began on Sunday night with a 26-person team dinner organized by our very own
Mike Terry. Mike had the meal pre-ordered so the team was able to sit down to a full
dinner, get some pre-race strategy from Kelsey, and partake in the annual "10 M&M"
ritual for good luck--all before 9:00pm.Early Monday, "Cheer Force One" covered the 26.2
mile race course from Hopkinton to Boston to support Lavar Curley, Kelsey Louie, Bill
Warner (Jonathan’s dad), Jerry McDonnell, Kevin Masse, Patrick Doherty, Dave Lin,
Richard Ervais, Rachel Kliegman, Rachel Hitchcock, Audra Farrell, Paul Racine, Ruben
Coryat, and Janice Jabido.Crossing in first among the men, Lavar Curley worked the
tailwind finishing in 2:54:15. Next across the line was Bill Warner, Jonathan’s dad--and
�well supported by FRNY, in a lightning fast time of 2:55:40. We’re very happy to report
that Bill finished 4th in his age group--congrats to the Warner family. (Note to
Jonathan--we’re now expecting even bigger things from you!) Right behind him, looking
stunning with his perfect hair and his matching racing shorts and singlet, was Koach
Kelsey. Kelsey, in his first-ever Boston Marathon flew through the course in
2:57:41, securing a Boston qualifying time for next year. Also breaking the three hour
barrier was Jerry McDonnell dashing across the line in 2:59:31, and qualifying for 2012.
Not far behind, Dave Lin conquered the uphills and the downhills of Boston in 3:06:54,
setting a new PR and also qualifying for Boston!! How ’bout them apples?Just as Cheer
Force One was getting over the excitement from Wave 1, the Wave 2 runners started racing
by. Congrats to Richard Ervais for his 3:41:46 Boston performance. Richard would like to
thank Mike Terry for the carbo-crutial pasta dinner as well as the Boston Front Runners
for being great hosts all weekend long. Next up for the men, was Paul Racine. Although
he noted he was woefully under trained and that we should "leave the light on for him"
Paul crossed the line in a "not too shabby" 4:27:35. Rounding it in for the men, was
another Front Runner Dad, Ruben Coryat, a super vet at 72 years, crossing the line in
5:13. Congrats to the Coryat family of runners!Experienced Boston Marathon runner Audra
Farrell paced Rachel "Rock" Hitchcock in her first ever Boston Marathon through the
half-marathon mark. Rock crossed the line in 4:04:28. Not too far behind, was Rachel
"RayK" Kliegman, in her Boston debut. RayK traversed the course in 4:06:30. Janice,
although reportedly under trained and overworked, charged through the hills in an
impressive 4:38:50. Wicked pissah!Special thanks to Sandi Rowe, Leah Serinsky,
Katrina Amaro, Michelle Galindo & Aiden Jabido, Blossom Coryat, Jonathan Warner, Herbie
Medina, Michael Grubb, Todd Burke, AJ Stachelek, Benjamin Corbett, Marty Tracy, Cat
Wade, Josh Korth, Nolan, Mike Terry, Benjamin Corbitt, and Chris Stoia for making the
trip to Boston to support the team.Although Boston might have been the most talked about
event of the weekend, it was certainly not the only event with FRNY singlets. The 2011
London Marathon took place on Sunday, April 17th. Representing FRNY, Kieran O’Mahoney
ran the course in 3:13:23. Darin Soler flew through the streets of London in 3:25:39.
Ace!Representing FRNY in beautiful Madrid were Alex Kristofcak (3:37:12), Daniel
Guralnick (3:49:46) , and Manja Srinivasaiah (3:49:55). Cenk Bulbul was in town, too,
but was too tempted by the local sausage (the chorizo for breakfast was too much, he
said). Felicitaciones!!Brittany Freese and Ali Kliegman represented FRNY in the Glass
City Marathon and Half in Toledo, OH this past weekend. Brittany raced the half marathon
in 2:03:04 (PR). Ali "not the only sister running a marathon this weekend" Kliegman flew
through the course in a a smoking 4:08, achieving a full fifteen minute PR! Right
on!!Closer to home, Dave Pitches, Jesse Dean, and Rachel Cutler raced in the Brooklyn
Bun 20k bike/5k run. Dave Pitches (first in his age group) completed the race in
1:20:43. Jesse Dean (sixth in his age group) came in with a time of 1:21:41. Rachel
Cutler (second in her age group) flew through the course in 1:23:13. With all of the
marathons this weekend, it would have been easy to forget about the NYRR race in taking
place Central Park. A total of thirty nine Front Runners toed the line in the NYRR Run
for the Parks. Placing in the top five for the women were Michelle Comerford(39:19),
Sarah Jewell (37:37), Sharen Duke (32:28), Louisa Lun (35:50), and Sarah Wheeler
(33:27). This weekend, the depth of the men’s team really showed as the men placed 2nd
in the teams race! The top five male Frontrunners were David Caraway (23:53--8th in age
group), Michael Benjamin (25:37--6th in age group), Sean Gillick (24:19), Matthew
Anderson (24:05--5th in age group), and Michael White (22:47--5th in age group!). We’re
also excited to report Scott Emmons placed 4th in his age group with a time of 25:40 and
Ekong Ekong enjoyed a PR (30:36). High fives all around!Last weekend, Rich Ervais and
Zander Ross traveled to Paris for the 35th Paris Marathon. Racing together, they both
crossed the line in 4:19:47. F?licitations!! Photos this week feature:
