Details will be in this week’s long run email -- to sign up for the long run email, please sign up here. Email Darin and Bernie with any questions.  Training Tip   Take some time to work on your core. A strong core will help you transfer force from the lower to the upper body and back again more efficiently.  This will ensure that any force you exert to move your body forward isn’t wasted in moving your body sideways. This will help you to keep optimal body alignment and reduce your fatigue as good form usually takes less energy than bad form.  In addition, when you are tired, your core will be engaged and asked to help lift your knees.

Race Report It was a busy weekend at the races for Front Runners New York.  The Cherry Tree 10 Miler and 3-Person Relay, one of our team’s favorite events, was held this past Sunday.  For those that braved 3 loops of Prospect Park alone, we had a stellar performance for both men’s and women’s 10 miler runners!  For the men, coming in first was Scott Fitzgerald (59:33, 6th in age group and 27th overall), followed closely thereafter by Breandan Ward (1:01:07, 8th in age group and 38th overall), Mike Terry (1:01:52, 12th in age group and 40th overall), Jerome McDonnell (1:04:13, 12th in age group), Steven Wengrovitz (1:07:24), and the multisport duo that finished together -- Sean Gillick (1:07:26) and Peter Lozito (1:07:28).  Other notable performances for the men in the 10 miler were runs by Dave Laurence (1:20:08, 9th in age group), Mike McMahon (1:11:07, 2nd in his age group), Liam O’Rourke (1:24:01, PR and PR for age-graded percentile), and AJ Stachelek in his first 10 miler (1:32:55).  Also, our very own David Pitches got 1st in his age group with a 1:16:30!  Additionally, we heard those backpack boys were at it again (Steve Waldon and Michael Sanderson) tackling those hills.  Great job making it look like a walk in the park. The women’s side was led by Barbara Finnegan (1:09:56, 4th in age group and PR), and other top female finishers include Talia Kohn (1:23:29 and 12th in age group), Alison McKenna (1:24:39 and new PR!), Erin Fuchs (1:25:01), Jill Crouther (1:27:05), and Blossom Coryat (1:27:09). Special shout outs go to Lenore Beaky (1st race over a 10k in over 3 years and 4th in age group) and Sarah Wheeler in her time of 1:30:53.  Also, we are proud to report that Cristina Vaccaro earned a new PR in 1:41:46.  Fabulous racing and representing us all the way out in Brooklyn. Shigeki, Tee and Jamey with an auspicious team number Some may argue that three is a crowd, but this past weekend, the Cherry Tree relays showcased our team spirit and speed.  Making FRNY ever so proud were 1st place finishers Team Front Runners United (Koach Kelsey Louie, John MacConnell, and Jonathan Warner) in a jaw-dropping 55:10.  Defending their coed team title from 2011 were Two Butch Men and a Little Lady (Kelly Swaim, Rich Velazquez, and Annie Onishi) in 57:23.  Other teams that ran fast and looked good doing it were FRNY Brooklyn’s Finest (Brendan Moroney, Mike Grzelecki, and Jeremy Reiss) in 1:04:00, FRNYNASTY (Michael Klein, Seth Richardson, and Matt Kovich) in 1:04:55, FRNY (Giordano Fusco, Thomas Hoffer, and Walter Bridgham) in 1:10:40, and FRNY Cheerios (Rachel Cutler, Dave Lin, and Kyle Mammarella) in 1:15:31. For more women’s team successes, we had Ruth Gursky and 2 PPTC friends as the Fun Lovin’ Running Chicks in 1:48:09, We Three Drag Kings (Sharon Abbott, Brittany Freese, and Tara) in 1:35:30, Team Girl Tested, Mom Approved (Natalie Johnston, Meryl Wimberly, and Jillian Ternosky) in 1:11:43, and Team ENDURE with (Hilary Lorenz with friends Melanie and Julie) ran 1:10:48.  More guys teams that flew by include Team Cha Cha Cha (Eric Maldonado, Arturo Barcenas, and Julio Gonzalez), Team front runners new york (Dan Gallagher, Peter Shearer, and Rosario Gennaro), and Team The Hangover (Jeff Werner, Joe Baker, and Dave Caraway.  The Trisexuals (Michelle Mazzara, Onesimo Demira, and Sam Lafata) were the first master’s coed team in 1:23:51, Hungover Hipsters 2: Occupy Cherry Tree (Megan McDavid and Mi Kami) ran a 1:26:26, and Team Trailing Trotters (Craig Goodwin, sister Dennise Romano, and Tsing Cheng) ran a 1:36:56.  Congrats again to all teams out there on Sunday for making us known for our speed and camaraderie in whatever borough we race in! Those that were not running in parks hit the beaches for fast times and PRs!  Both earning PRs in the Myrtle Beach Marathon were Michael Markowitz in 3:56:52 and Steven Gross in 3:32:36.  Giovanny Leon completed his 2nd marathon of 2012 in 4:28:45 with his goal of completing 12 marathons in 2012.  Nice work in South Carolina, everyone!  Also at the beach was Jeff Schrager running the Publix Fort Lauderdale A1A Half Marathon in which he ran a PR of 1:41:41 and placed 12th in his age group.  Congrats to those beach goers during the winter months, you all rock! This Thursday will be the last installment of NYRR Thursday Night at the Races. If you had fun doing a Cherry Tree relay, there is also a 10-person relay this Thursday where each person runs 5x200 meters.  Front Runners of all abilities are welcome to run and cheer!

Box 230087 New York, New York 10023 membership@frny.org   NYRR Race Registration    We have been advised of a change in NYRR race registration fee structures: beginning with the spring race registrations opening Monday, February 13, NYRR has a shortened window for early registration. From NYRR: "registration windows will be adjusted slightly.  For April through June, early registration will be February 13 to 23 (window closes earlier than in past years). Standard registration will be Feb 24 until the day before the event.  Then we’ll have Event Day registration which, per usual, is subject to availability." We want all our members to participate in club events, regardless of financial ability. If you are in need of financial assistance to register for the Pride Run or points races, please contact the Scholarship Committee, Dave Lin, Anthony Ng, and Gemma Sanz de la Serna.  FRNY Business Directory   By popular request, we are dedicating a page of the FRNY website to allow members to advertise their businesses or services to other Front Runners. Listings are available for a $50 contribution for the year and can include your business name and logo, contact information, web link and a 50-word description.  Click here to be listed in the directory, or contact Dave Lin if you have any questions.

This race counts toward theFRNY Participation Award. If you are looking for a team, email relay matchmaker Dave Lin. A potluck brunch will be held after the race at the home of Rachel Cutler. Details coming soon.Timmy Wilson, Jeff Werner, and Joe Baker at Cherry Tree 2011 PPTC Needs Our Help   Prospect Park Track Club is seeking help from FRNY and other clubs in the area to volunteer at the PPTC Cherry Tree Relay and 10-Miler. Each Front Runner that helps out at The Cherry Tree will in return get an entry into the next Turkey Trot, the next Cherry Tree, or The entire Al Goldstein Wednesday night summer series (7 races this year). The volunteer commitment last for about 3 hours between 9 AM and 12 PM on February 19. Volunteers might be inside and might be outside, but probably outside. If you would like to volunteer to work with PPTC that morning as a part of the FRNY contingent, please email Megan Jenkins by Monday, February 13. We are limited to the first 15 volunteers, and we will create out list on a first come, first served basis.   Multisport    Order New Multisport Gear by February 20!  We are improving and broadening the array of FRNY Multisport gear available to you!  Stop by JackRabbit Sports between now and 2/13 to try on samples and determine your size preference for our new FRNY Multisport tri tops, tri shorts, cycling jerseys, and cycling shorts (both with and without bibs).  On 2/14 the sizing run will transfer �to JackRabbit’s Union Square store.  Once you’ve sized yourself, submit and pay for your order through this site.  The deadline for order submission is 2/20.  Gear will arrive in mid-April prior to our first race of the season. Great Hudson River Swim!  Registration is open here for this 1.6M open water swim on 5/26 down the west side of Manhattan.  Please let us know if you register.   See the calendar at frny.org for details on our regular swimming and cycling workouts. Email Mike and Rachel to be added to the weekly multisport email list. FRNY Long Runs: 2/12/12 The "official" long run distance for Spring marathons this week is 12 miles and our long run will be held on Sunday, February 12. As always, we encourage you to do less or more if your own training plan calls for it. The run will start from the home of Kelsey Louie in Hell’s Kitchen.  We will run to the West Side Highway and head north for an out-and-back course.  The 12 mile turnaround is just south of the George Washington Bridge.     Details will be in this week’s long run email -- to sign up for the long run email, please sign up here. Email Darin and Bernie with any questions.  Training Tip   Learn to trust yourself in your workouts. Don’t be afraid to be aggressive and tough early in an interval.  (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 interval and the entire 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. Just push yourself. This will translate to trusting yourself and pushing yourself in a race, and eventually, running faster times. FRNY Track Meet Registration Open Front Runners get a $5 discount for registering online in advance for the FRNY Track Meet on March 23. Click the banner below for more information and to register.

She was followed by Adriane Giebel (28:59, PR), Lynn Malie (30:16), Diane Lowy (30:23, PR), and Michelle Johnson (30:42, PR, her fastest pace ever!).There were more PRs and top age group results from Dave Pitches (27:36, 3rd AG, 80+%), Sam LaFata (40:54, 9th AG), and Walter Bridgham (28:24, PR).

Box 230087 New York, New York 10023 membership@frny.org   FRNY Swimming    FRNY is pleased to offer our members weekly swim workouts to complement our running schedule.  We meet at the Long Island City Y for a one-hour workout Mondays at 8 PM. Beginning April 1, 2012, we ask that you purchase a 5-swim card for $20 to help us defray the cost of the lane rental. Here is the link to the online payment form.  Email our Multisport Coordinators, Rachel Cutler and Mike Terry with any questions. You will be issued a swim card by the coach at the first workout you attend after this transaction.  Each week you attend, your card will get one punch. All cards expire January 31, 2013, regardless of how many swims are remaining on the card. All FRNY members are welcome to try their first swim free.  Training Tip    Run the FRNY Track Meet on Friday, March 23! Email Derek or Kelsey for more details.  You can register here. 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 arm swing. 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.  Boston Blue Line Run The last day to sign up for the Boston Blue Line Run is Monday, March 19 at 5 PM. The Blue Line Run will be the weekend of March 31 to April 1 in Boston. The cost is $125 for FRNY members for transportation and a hotel in Boston. Non-members will pay $150. We also have a reduced rate of $50 for eight volunteers who can work a water station or be a bike marshal. Click here to register, or contact Dave Lin if you have any questions..   FRNY Long Runs: 3/18/12 This week’s recommended distance for spring marathons is a 12-mile recovery run from last weekend’s 20-miler.  Because of the shorter distance and the fact that a large number of our runners will be doing the NYC Half on Sunday, there will not be a hosted long run this week. If you are not racing, you can run an additional loop of the park on Saturday prior to the fun run. Rutgers is available for bag drop beginning at 9 AM. If your plan calls for higher mileage and you need suggestions on other routes this weekend, please email Darin and Bernie.To sign up for the long run email, please click here.   Save the Date: Variety Show Friday, April 20 will be the the Annual FRNY Variety Show at the LGBT Center (208 West 13th Street).Members interested in performing, please email the Social Committee.   Bageling We are all set for bagelers through March.  Thank you, Jean Simeon, Tom Minogue, Ed Kennelly, Elliott Fishman, Giordano Fusco and Daria Askari!  If you are free in April, email Megan Jenkins.

Race Report Outside the 5 boroughs, Richard White represented FRNY in Rock Hill, New York at the Celebrate Life Half Marathon. His impressive 1:36:46 (8th in his age group) was despite a tough course. Looking on the bright side, Richard remarked that, "it’s a great race if you love steep hills and like to curse!" Last weekend, three Front Runner tracksters joined in on the fun at North Brooklyn Runner’s inaugural McCarren Park Track Classic. No track meet would be complete without 2011 Track Athlete of the Year Marty McElhiney, who raced the 400 meters in 1:00.47 (first in his heat!) and the 800 meters in 2:19.64.  Natalie Johnston ran the 3200 meters in 18:51.34, and later joined Hilary Lorenz in the distance medley relay on team This Just Happened. Joining other runners from NBR and Cooper Union, they raced to a 5th place finish in 12:53.15. Congratulations to our track �runners for their great performances and for representing FRNY at other local club races! Marty McElhiney at NBR’s Track Meet; photo by Ben Ko  Down south, Jeffrey Caprio ran his debut half marathon at the New Orleans Half Marathon in 1:48:32. Well done to Jeffrey on his first attempt at this great distance.On the other side of the equator, Michael Sanderson and Steven Waldon finished the 2012 running of the Atacama Crossing, a 7-day stage race covering 250 kilometers through Chile’s famous Atacama Desert. Finishing in a total of 32 hours and 6 minutes, they came in tied for 22nd out of the 150 runners who battled through high temperatures (108 F), high altitude (10,000 ft) and all the while carrying 20 pounds of food and supplies on their backs. After over a year of training and planning, they’re happy to have finished so well and wish to thank all those who sent words of encouragement while they were out in the desert. Welcome home, Steve and Michael!  Michael Sanderson in the Atacama Crossing   Gram Submission Guidelines   To submit a piece for the race report, such as a personal record (PR), first time at a distance, or other achievement, complete this form for the Race Captains.

Race ReportPoint-to-Point and Coast-to-Coast, from New York City to LA, Front Runners had a "RUN of LUCK" for the St. Patrick’s race weekend despite the heat, humidity, chilly, and very hilly course conditions.         What’s LUCK got to do with it?  Two Front Runners felt lucky just to finish the Rock ’n’ Roll USA Nation’s Capital Marathon and Half Marathon.  Given the intense heat and high humidity, it’s a testament to Rich Velazquez and Giovanny Leon’s hard work and smart racing for these impressive results.  First, in a stellar marathon performance,Rich placed 5th overall with a solid time in 2:42:16.  In the half marathon, Giovanny ran for a time of 1:46:39.  Way to rock and roll!      Is it LUCK or skill and experience?  Also on St. Patty’s Day in Watertown, NY, Stan More took 1st place in his 60-64 Age Group at the 5-Mile Shamrock Run.  Stan’s time (35:45) was the best 5 miler since his 1983 Gay Pride Run!  Best of LUCK in your next race, Stan!  A stroke of luck happened as the heat was on at the Georgia Half Marathon for a hot, humid and hilly race course.  In spite of the conditions, Ruth Gursky and Mark Crennan finished the course and really earned that Georgia Peach Medal.  "Hot Ruth" also earned her nickname as she finished the race in 3:20:47.  Well done! On the west coast, our Front Runners were out of luck at the start with gloomy looking clouds still lingering in the sky and relatively cold, but they were on fire to finish the Honda LA Marathon.  Special thanks to Kevin Masse and Michael Grubb for looking cute while cheering!  Our Front Runners finished with impressive performances, even though the wind picked up at the end with just a peek-a-boo sun.  Congrats to Steve Wengrovitz (3:08:38), Sean Gillick (3:11:40), Tony Majewski (3:13:01), Cenk Bulbul (3:24:49), Alex Kristofcak (3:42:20), and Liam O’Rourke (4:48:47 for a new PR over 50 minutes faster than his first marathon.  Way to represent, FRNY!   On the east coast, they were down on their luck as a chilly 47 degrees and 90% humidity returned on Sunday, where a record field of 15,000+ participants took the downtown express to South Street Seaport at the 2012 NYC Half Marathon.  Our very own Katrina Amaro, serving as an official NYRR volunteer Bike Marshall, took the lead vehicle with runners in tow, from a 6-mile loop of Central Park, through the core of the Big Apple, along the West Side Highway, and around the southern tip of the island with a duck through the Battery Park underpass to a spectacular riverside finish at the historic South Street Seaport.  The 50+ Front Runner volunteers felt lucky and proud to cheer for our 75 Front Runners at the designated Cheer Force One station on the NW corner of 42nd Street and 9th Avenue.  The cheerleaders played an integral part in the NYC Half for the 63 men and 12 women who finished this race.  In addition, three cheers for the Front Runner volunteers who lined the course in the early morning hours and then moved from place to place to catch our runners once, twice, maybe even three times over the course of 13.1 miles.  Once again, our enthusiastic volunteers supported our runners in their racing debuts, return to racing and setting new records.  Special thanks for organizing, Matt Kovich and Koach Kent!  The runners extend their appreciation for the amazing team support!        For some of our runners, the hills of Central Park were crucial for many who used the race as a final tune-up for the Boston Marathon, four weeks away.  For others, it was by luck, that they entered the lottery and won a spot.  It’s admirable that we always have athletes who earn a bib number with a qualifying time or raise money for a charity such as Harlem United.  Whatever motivated them to get out there, FRNY TEAM SPIRIT was in the air, while individual goals were accomplished.  A shout-out goes to these dedicated runners!        Congrats, FRNY MEN!!!  Thomas Hammer, featured as a NYC Half Marathon local hero, finished first in 1:13:09.  That’s a 05:39 pace per mile at 80.23 AG%!  Coming in second for FRNY, Josh Korth posted a solid 1:16:08 (05:49 pace, 77.80 AG%).  In third place, Chris Fisher had an impressive time of 1:16:32 (05:51 pace, 77.51 AG%).  Two seconds behind him, Scott Fitzgerald secured a 9th Age Place citywide for his time in 1:16:34 (05:51 pace, 79.4 AG%).  Jonathan Warner had a PR time of 1:17:26 to round off the top 5 (05:55 pace, 76.49 AG%).  We’re lucky to have such talent on one team with Koach Kelsey!   Additional shout-outs for the NYC Half Marathon achievements go to Ben Zumsteg for his very first race as a Front Runner with a PR time in 1:24:43 and Daris Jackson for his first NYC Half Marathon for a PR time in 2:32:05.   Congrats on the PRs!  A drum roll for the PR list of FRNY Men who posted PRs by 2+ minutes in the NYC Half Marathon include Peter Macari (1:26:41), Dave Lin (1:27:11), Ryan Singer (1:28:03) and Giordanno Fusco (1:40:18 with his highest AG%).  In addition, the following earned new PR times, starting with Andrew Crabb (1:18:53, 75.08 AG%), Kevin Turner (1:38:26), Max �Melion (1:40:44), and Jamey Mangum (1:44:41).  Good work on the new PRs!     Congrats, FRNY WOMEN!!!  Leading our women in the NYC Half Marathon, Barbara Finnegan who appears to be Boston Marathon ready, as evidenced by her NYC Half Marathon time of 1:27:41 (06:42 pace, 75.18 AG%).  Coming in second place, Meryl Wimberley, one of our track stars, posted a solid time in 1:50:39 (08:27 pace).  Our Multisport Athlete of the Year, Cindy Hearing, secured third place in 1:59:15 with Alison Kliegman coming in fourth place in 2:09:29.  Cristina Vaccaro had a PR by over 14 minutes to round off the top 5 in 2:13:14.  Way to get the 2012 long course running off to a great start!   Special recognition at the NYC Half Marathon for Lourdes Blanco who ran her first half marathon in 2:27:50.  Welcome back to racing, Alison Casillo, and to Liz Gately who after 4 years ran this distance in 2:08:39.    Congratulations to everyone who came out to race, support, volunteer, or cheer this weekend!  Gram Submission Guidelines   To submit a piece for the race report, such as a personal record (PR), first time at a distance, or other achievement, complete this form for the Race Captains.

Box 230087 New York, New York 10023 membership@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    New Monday Swim Payment Plan: FRNY is pleased to offer our members weekly swim workouts to complement our running schedule.  We meet at the Long Island City Y for a one-hour workout Mondays at 8 PM.

Race ReportFront Runners were out in full force at the 13th Annual Front Runners New York Track Meet this past Friday. This popular event ran efficiently and speedily under the leadership and organization of  Kelsey Louie and Derek Petti. Many thanks to all the volunteers that made this event possible, including:  AJ Stachelek, Amy Adams, Andrew Crabb, Bernie Janelle, �Beth Strickland, Corey James, Da Ping Luo, Jill Crouther, Joe Plutz,Johnny Mendoza, Kent Lau, Kristen Kosnac, Megan Jenkins Coryat, Melissa Alvarenga, Michael Totaro, Michelle Mazzara, Rachel Kliegman, Tom Henning, and William Hatton.Track events ranged from a 60m dash up through a 2 mile run, and there were also three relays that all had gift certificate awards from Urban Athletics. Competing in the mile, FRNY had Michelle Johnson with a fast time of 6:51.16 (5th overall, 1st in age group.)  On the men’s side John MacConnell’s magnificent mile in 4:30.95 placed him 2nd overall, followed by Josh Korth 4:31.37 (3rd overall, PR) and Tyler Raymond in 4:36.79 (4th overall, 1st track race in 6 years).  Other speedy miles were run by Michael Klein (4:55.51, 5th in age group), Marty McElhiney (5:01.25, 4th in age group), Gabe Benroth (5:03.88, 2nd in age group), Spencer Neyland (5:28.35, 3rd in age group), Alistair Graham (6:04.48, 3rd in age group), David Swinarski (6:50.68, 4th in age group), and Giordano Fusco (6:52.67 and 5th in age group).In the men’s 1500 Racewalk, FRNY’s John Kosa was 2nd overall and 1st in his age group with a time of 8:56.75.  Quickly thereafter, FRNY team members hit the starting blocks for the 60 meter dash.  Ace He flew by the track (8.11, 5th in age group), and there were lightning fast times by Allen Durgin (8.77, 6th in age), Thomas Wu (10.03), Walter Bridgham (10.96), and Craig Goodwin (12.31.)  In the women’s 200 meter dash, Blossom Coryat posted a spectacular 35.11 (2nd in age group).  For the men’s 200, Ace He was at it again in 27.10 (3rd in age), with Allen Durgin a stride behind in 29.13, and Craig Goodwin in 46.82.  The 400 meter dash also had some impressive runs by the women, with Blossom Coryat in 1:22.73 (2nd in age group) and Tara Amato in 1:42.90 (2nd in age group.)  Two laps of the track (400 meters) were quickly run by Marty McElhiney (58.17, 3rd in age group), Spencer Neyland (64.06), Allen Durgin (64.45), Ed Kennelly (74.41), and Walter Bridgham (81.59.)  Giordano Fusco ran the 2 mile in 13:25.55 to earn 4th in his age group.The most fun of the evening was to be had while watching FRNY compete in the relays against other New York and New Jersey area teams.  For the 4x200 meter relay, 2 FRNY teams came in 6th and 7th with times of 2:01.72 and 2:05.22 respectively.  Our team in 6th was comprised of Gabe Benroth, Alistair Graham, Matt Kovich, and John Kosa.  Right on their heels for 7th were Tsing Cheng, Walter Bridgham, Allen Durgin, and Ace He.  A coed relay of Blossom Coryat, Craig Goodwin, Ivone Curran, and Thomas Wu competed and made us proud in the 4x200 relay.  For the Distance Medley Relay, the women placed 2nd with Rachel Cutler, Michelle Mazzara, Sandi Rowe, and Michelle Johnson in a time of 17:58.21.  The FRNY mens team of Tyler Raymond, Derek Petti, Josh Korth, and John MacConnell won the men’s DMR in a time of 11:15.19, and the other FRNY mens team of Steven Waldon, Breandan Ward, Breandan’s friend Callum, and Benjamin Corbett placed a triumphant 3rd in a time 12:32.86.  In the 4x400, FRNY ran a 4:12.27 for 6th place with team members Marty McElhiney, Benjamin Corbett, Allen Durgin, and Michael Klein.  You can find official results for the track meet on frny.org.

For the Sleepy Hollow Half, Benjamin Jooste ran a huge PRof  1:33:15 (9th in age), Jim McCarrick ran a 1:43:10, Christopher Miller ran a 1:41:02, and Brooklyn’s Karl Rutter ran a 2:41:06.  Nice work men on some tough hills in a spooky town!  In Queens at the 13.1 NYC Half, our very own Peter Macari managed to PR a week after the NYC Half in a very impressive 1:25:09!  Last dista Peter Macari and Hedda Lettuce nce race of the weekend but definitely not least was Richard Ervais with his millionth (or so) marathon in Oakland with a time of 4:11:26. In Morningside Heights, Craig Goodwin completed the Columbia University Road Runners Race for Charity 5K in a time of 37:42.  One of the most impressive performances of the weekend was by Cindy Hearing’s 12 and a half hour completion of the Blue Mountain 200K Cycling Brevet! That sounds like a great workout!  Happy running to all!  Gram Submission Guidelines   To submit a piece for the race report, such as a personal record (PR), first time at a distance, or other achievement, complete this form for the Race Captains.

Email Derek or Kelsey for more �details.  You can register here. Try new events. Last year, many Front Runners realized how much fun a track meet can be. Many people have already learned how much fun a multi-sport activity is. Move out of your comfort zone to keep your training and racing fresh, whether it’s a new distance or a new event altogether.  Beginner’s Clinic Launches: 4/14    For the third year in a row, FRNY is offering a beginners clinic to people who are new to running: the start date is April 14, and we will have about 10 sessions to prepare for the 5-mile Pride Run. Each session will start with a seminar about a running topic at 9 AM, followed by a warm up, drills, and a run. Please spread the word to anyone you know who’s looking to start running!  Also,we need volunteers to run with our clinic participants who will be working their way from zero to five miles. Please sign up for a volunteer shift if you are free to walk/jog/run with new runners. Not only is it a nice thing to do, it is will also garner you volunteer credit toward the FRNY awards. The time commitment is from 10 AM to 11 AM on the Saturday you select.  Boston Blue Line Run    FRNY is going to Boston!  We are chartering a bus to Boston the weekend of March 31 to April 1 to run the last 10-22 miles of the Boston Marathon course. This will be a great last training run for those of you running in Boston, and a great supported fun run for those of you who would just like to run on this historic course. The cost is $125 for FRNY members for transportation and a hotel in Boston. Registration will open up to non-members, space permitting, on March 1. Non-members will pay $150. We also have a reduced rate of $50 for eight volunteers who can work a water station or be a bike marshal. Click here to register, or contact Dave Lin if you have any questions.

Race Report FRNY spent the weekend ROCKIN’ and ROLLIN’ in Washington Heights, New Jersey, The Big Easy, and in the vineyards of Napa Valley.    Our first race in the Team Points series came on the heels of FRNY winning the 2011 NYRR Team Spirit Award on Thursday night. By Sunday morning, Front Runners laced up their shoes and headed uptown for the annual NYRR Coogan’s Salsa, Blues and Shamrocks 5K race in Washington Heights. Our team had the largest local club participation with 119 finishers (24 more than in 2011) and an official "Cheer Force One" station with cheers heard above the background sounds of bagpipes and banjos. The enthusiastic volunteer crew supported and energized our Front Runners to achieve overall team success as well as their individual goals.                &nbsp ; Congratulations, FRNY Women! In addition to climbing three respectable hills on the course, our 39 competitors each made a unique contribution to the overall results.  We had 8 women who ran the race for the first time to Katrina Amaro who completed her 6th Coogan’s. Our women fielded 4 more runners compared to 2011, set 13 new PRs, increased some individual and overall AG% representation (with 4 women reaching 70+ AG%), took advantage of the downhills to post fast paces per mile, and some women (such as Beth Strickland and Diane Lowy) pushed themselves well before the end to finish strong. Congrats, everyone! Overall, our Women’s Open Team kicked some butt taking 13th �place citywide (out of 41 teams).  Coming in first, double-scorer Ruth Loos had a stellar performance with a 19:53 (4th AG) and earning 77.45 AG%, the highest women’s AG% of the race!  Posting a solid 20:35, Natalie Johnston returned to racing and we’re glad to have her back! It’s also great to have Leah Serinsky back with her smart racing time of 21:27. Smashing her previous Coogan’s time, Hilary Lorenz set a PR time of 22:12 by a whopping 1 minute, 26 seconds and double scored for the team! Rounding out the top 5, triple-scorer Bernie Janelle with a PR time of 23:18 beat her last year’s Coogan’s time by 57 seconds, a 75.73 AG% PR! Good work!Next, we had the Women’s Masters Team who totally rocked it with the double and triple scoring partnership of Ruth, Hilary and Bernie working together to come in 6th place (out of 29 teams!). Very impressive!   Joining Bernie on the Women’s Vets Team, Lourdes Blanco earned a PR in 30:48 followed by Beatriz Hernandez who also set a new PR of 34:29 to secure a solid 13th place finish with 3 PRs!  Quite an impressive performance from the Vets!Our women also had a host of PRs.  Special recognition for Michelle Johnson (23:21), Megan McDavid (23:48), Michele Mazzara (23:59), Devon McSweeney (24:48), Elke Gasselseder (25:03), Yarnya Wynar (26:19), Tara Amato (26:19), Gemma Sans De La Serna (29:27), and Jennifer Wisdom (30:23).  Congratulations to all of our finishers!  The 2012 racing season looks very promising!  Congratulations, FRNY Men!!!  Our men shattered a long-standing FRNY record this weekend at the Coogan’s 5K.  Prior to Sunday, the fastest NYRR 5K set by a Front Runner was 16:02, a record that’s been standing for 19 years!  Rich Velazquez and Thomas Hammer smashed that record with a dramatic race finish in just under 16 minutes.  Rich set a new PR of 15:58 (5:09 pace, 4th AG) with Thomas Hammer just 1 second behind him at 15:59.  Coming in third with a PR, Josh Korth in 16:17 (10th AG) beat his last year’s race by a whopping 51 seconds!  In fourth place, we welcome John MacConnell back as he posted a solid 16:47 in his first race since Grete’s 2010.  And Chris Fisher had a PR-setting time of 17:06 (5:31 pace) to round off the top 5 to take 7th place citywide for the Men’s Open Team.  What an amazing level of talent we have on this open team! The accomplishments continued when the Men’s Masters Team rocked the course and took care of business.  In his very first points race as a Master, Brent Peterson led the team in 18:20 (5:55 pace) beating last year’s time by 25 seconds.  Steve Vizena in his 2012 racing debut, took 1st AG and earned the highest FRNY AG% - 83.33% with an 18:27.  Marty McElhiney, always ready on or off the track to assist, did so with a solid performance time of 19:08 (6:11 pace) to bring the team to a 9th place citywide finish!  Great job! The race kept getting better when Patrick Guilfoyle, after being out due to an injury, managed to run a 20:11, in an effort to assist Steve and Marty for a 3rd place finish for the Men’s Vets Team.  Very inspirational! Finally, our Men’s Super Vets Team had a solid 10th place finish with Scott Emmons leading in 26:22, followed by Steve McLure in 27:44 and Sam Lafata in 32:31.  Awesome performances for our Super Vets! Additional shout-outs for Todd Raymond who ran his very first race as a Front Runner in an impressive 17:08 and Michael Klein who raced for the first time at this distance in 17:43.  Looking forward to the next Team Points race performances! The PR list includes, but may not be limited to the following men:  Gabe Benroth for his PR time of 17:23 (9th AG), Peter Macari (18:35), Dave Lin (18:43), Matt Kovich (19:11), Benjamin Jooste (19:45), Daniel O’Neill (23:25), and AJ Stachelek (25:13).  Congrats to all and everyone else who may have achieved a new PR!Special recognition goes out to Johnny Mendoza who ran up all 66 flights of 30Rockefeller at 6:45am and placed 22 out of 1014 (10:59 pace - 7/95 AG). By 9:00 AM, he started running the Coogan’s 5K race to finish in 21:37 (6:59 pace) for a new PR! Johnny climbed a building and ran a race before most of New York was awake!  Awesome!Thanks to Tim Guscott who reported a very interesting statistic about Sunday’s race.    Prior to this year, FRNY has never fielded more than 9 sub-6 minute milers at Coogan’s; this year we had 15!  Just imagine the possibilities for the rest of the 2012 racing season!Another tough and hilly course did not stop Alison McKenna who rolled up and down the Monmouth County Park System’s E. Murray Todd Half Marathon in 1:55:25 (2 seconds faster than her previous 2011 record).  This out-and-back course, set in central New Jersey, offers views of horse farms and country estates through rural towns. Nice job! Rolling right along, Laissez les bon temps rouler, cuz’ now we’re talkin’ New Orleans style racing.  Music makes up the heart and "sole" of the Rock ’n’ Roll New Orleans Marathon and Half-Marathon for runners with alternative, classical and punk rock tunes to blues, jazz and soul. Giovanny Leon finished in 4:08:29 beating his previous marathon record by a mighty 20 minutes, 11 seconds! Jeff Grossman, in his half-marathon debut, posted a 2:07:05.  Congratulations!      Letting the good times roll with vineyards as one of the main attractions, a group of FRNY ran the 34th Annual Napa Valley Marathon. The course offers world-class scenery with local wineries to visit before and after the race.  Representing FRNY included Michael Benjamin, Michael Orzechowski and Richard Ervais who ran his 90th marathon in 3:50:01.  They all earned beautiful medals and enjoyed the Napa Valley Wine Train. Way to represent!       The next Team Points Race, the Scotland Run, will be held on Saturday, April 7.

Members of the Brooklyn TNYA will also be in attendance.

(Take the 2/3 train, not the 1, train to 125th Street.  HU is on the corner of 125th and Lenox.) Please RSVP.    The outdoor season will start Tuesday, May 8.    Training Tip      Rest is an important component of everybody’s workout regimen. Often times, less is more. Resting will not only allow your muscles to recover, but it will also allow to you sustain your motivation to run, train, and race! For marathoners, it is important to take a break before starting another training season. For shorter distance runners, this will help you get to the big race day with an extra spring in your step. This may make the difference between a PR and not a PR!   FRNY Dinner in Boston: 4/15/12      In keeping with tradition, Dave Lin is organizing a carbolicious pre-race meal for all of the FRNYers in Boston on Sunday, April 15 at Antonio’s of Beacon Hill.  Please email Dave to be added to  the reservation.

Race Report  Our second Team Points race, the NYRR Scotland 10K, gave 158 cute -- sometimes kilted -- Front Runners (the largest participating team!) the opportunity to see all of Central Park from a new direction as they raced through the park clockwise to the sound of bagpipes through waves of blue and white... and of course orange!  The race offered up a course that Front Runners attacked, many running away with new Personal Records, high AG %’s, and as a team - high points standings.  Of course we can’t forget the smiles along the course, perhaps due to the waving of a giant rainbow flag and cheers from the most spirited team (it’s been proven, after all)!Starting with the Men’s Super Vets Team, 6th place finish out of 13 was awarded to the combined racing prowess of David Pitches (46:04 - 6th in age group), Paul Racine (48:15), and Mark Mascolini (49:59).  In 3rd place out of 34 was the Men’s Vets Team, AND the Men’s Masters Team took home 8th place out of 49.  Both of these teams consisted of speed racers Steven Vizena (38:01 - 3rd in age group), Martin McElhiney (39:26), and Richard White (40:02).  The Front Runner Women also fielded a  Women’s Masters Team that placed 7th out of 32, consisting of the speed racers Ruth Loos (40:35 - 3rd in age group), Hilary Lorenz (45:48 - PR from 2009!), and Michele Mazzara (48:14 - PR!).  Last but certainly not least, Front Runner Women took home 13th place overall out of 43, due to the combined efforts of Ruth Loos (40:35), Kile Margolis (45:23), Hilary Lorenz (45:48), Michele Mazzara (48:14) and Michelle Johnson (49:36)!Meanwhile, the Front Runner Men’s Team took home 7th place overall out of 55, with the help of Richard Velazquez (33:34 4th in age group), John MacConnell (33:52), Tyler Raymond (34:29 - his first NYRR race as a Front Runner - welcome aboard!), Brad Gayman (35:23), and Kelsey Louie (36:10). Of particular note for this crew: this 10K was Richard Velazquez’s fastest 10K in his NYRR history, as well as the 3rd fastest Scotland 10K time clocked in by a Front Runner.  Brad Gayman also clocked his fastest NYRR 10K race and Kelsey Louie’s fastest 10K in 2 years!!!  Amazing!Great GREAT job to all of the men’s and women’s teams in this second points race!  Way to push yourselves to the limits!After working so �well together, it is time to get more personal with the rest of the team! Of the 7,500 runners in this race, several Front Runner sightings included Jeffrey Caprio (44:26), Jeff Grossman (48:08), and Sara Ray (58:29 - in true kilt fashion).  In terms of personal records, the honor roll includes (at least) the following individuals:  Gordon Ruckdeschel (43:46), Devon McSweeney (50:25 - a 9:29 PR!), Thomas Hoffer (44:53 - almost a 5 minute PR!), Peter Macari (38:39), Giordano Fusco (44:21), Kennelly Ed (45:55), Gerry Dieffenbach (47:15 - must have been the kilt), and Jeremy Reiss (39:16).  In terms of age group finishes, the following results are also in!  Sam Lafata placed 10th in his age group in a time of 1:05:10, while Michael Klein also placed 10th in his age group in a time of 36:38 (PR)!   Way to go all of you - great to see you out there!  Remember, go for those goals!  This racing season is off to a TREMENDOUS start!

Race Report  Were Front Runners out in full force this weekend?   OUI - we were!  Crossing the ocean to compete in Paris and Vienna, taking the A-train to FAR Rockaway for two laps along the boardwalk, trudging through trails in New Jersey, burning up the tarmac of JFK’s runway, and just plain BURNING in Bahston, Front Runners brought racing to a whole new level this weekend!Karl Rutter and Pamela Tong went on vacation in true Front Runner fashion, both completing together their very FIRST marathon (6:20:55), while taking in the sights and sounds of Paris in style.  Slow and steady definitely accomplishes new goals, and allows for some spectacular memories and desire for more marathons to come!Also experiencing the international flavor of racing, our very own Pride Run Vienna Bingo champ, Katrina Amaro, made her way along the  Vienna Half-Marathon course as gondolas floated close by along the canals. Great job to our international contingent!Over the river and through the woods, across the river we go to join Jill Crouther in the second NJ Trail Series Spring Race, who breezed through 6 miles of terrain in a blazing 59:55 pace. Great work off-roading!  Down at the boardwalk... boardwalk... in Rockaway, Beth Strickland took on the Clare Fund Run 10K, mentally pushing through and thus completing the distance in 1:16:06.  Coming home for a landing was Giovanny Leon, completing the JFK Runway Run at a cruising speed of 23:13 -a PR!But wait, there’s MORE.  Literally, the More Magazine Half-Marathon -- a two-loop expedition through our very own Central Park -- lured 10 Front Runner women to the starting line.  Leading the crew were Lynn Canfield (1:58:34), Michelle Foytek (2:00:37), Carmelina-Gabriela Ortiz (2:02:02), Emalinda McSpadden (2:06:18), and Tara Amato (2:19:05). Congrats to Kate Wilson (2:19:33), Tara Amato, and Florence Hogan(2:19:34)  on their very FIRST half-marathons.  Way to represent! Florence running her first half marathon SundayIn Bahston, it was NO tea party, with temperatures reaching near 90 degrees along the famous Boston Marathon race course. Not even the elites were able to fully rise above these challenges and beat the heat, with the leader finishing almost 10 minutes slower than the world’s best time. Braving the heat was our beloved Cheer Squad consisting of Michael Klein, Cesar Jesena, Steve Wengrovitz, Cindy Hearing, Blossom Coryat, Zachary Johnson, Manja Srinivasaiah, Zander Ross, Richard Ervais, Todd Burke, and Michael Orzechowski. As for those hitting the �pavement, despite the difficulties the weather caused in achieving goal times, all the Front Runners who raced in Bahston demonstrated their courage to push the limits, as well as knowing when and how to run a smart race when the going got tough. Hats off to all of you: Eddie Valentine, Joshua Korth, Christopher Fisher, Jerome McDonnell, Ramon Frisneda, Brad Gayman, Jonathan Warner, Dave Lin, Kyle Mammarella, Ed Carter, David Brand, Darin Soler, Peter Lozito, Patrick Doherty, Paul Racine, and Michael Benjamin. Barbara Finnegan and Bernie Janelle also made it to the start line, in itself a feat at this prestigious race.  Gram Submission Guidelines   To submit a piece for the race report, such as a personal record (PR), first time at a distance, or other achievement, complete this form for the Race Captains.

Our Assistant Coaches are among the most committed of our volunteers: they answer numerous emails; help to plan workouts and long runs; lead warm ups, drills and stretching; support our members in their training and racing; and advise the board on FRNY’s annual awards. Assistant Coaches work year-round for FRNY.  A full description of the roles of the Assistant Coaches is here. If this sounds like a volunteer position that you are interested in, please email the Coaching Committee a statement of interest by May 3. In your email, please answer the following questions in about 500 words or fewer:   Which position(s) are you interested in (Track, Hills, or Long Runs)?Why are you interested in being an Assistant Coach?What qualities or experience can you bring to the role of Assistant Coach? Assistant Coaches are appointed by the board of FRNY at the recommendation of the Coaching Committee and the Head Coach.  Training Tip   Spring Marathoners should be recovering, running only when they feel like it.  Please remember that bones are still soft for up to two weeks after a marathon, so no hard running! Brooklyn Hill Workouts      Front Runners will be hosting a second hill workout session in Prospect Park on Tuesday, May 1. This is a great opportunity for anyone registered for the Brooklyn Half to get acquainted with the challenging hills of Prospect Park. Afterwards, we’ll go for dinner in Park Slope. The group will meet at 7pm at the Prospect Park West and 3rd Street entrance to Prospect Park. This workout will take the place of the Tuesday Fun Run for May 1. The Tuesday Fun Run will resume on May 7. Mike Grzelecki is offering his apartment as a bag drop. He is located at 670 President Street, Apt. 3C, close to the park. He will meet you there at 6:45 PM if you need to drop your bag.  Email Koach Kelsey if you have questions about the workout. Email the Brooklyn crew if you need help figuring out how to get there. FRNY Multisport    Register for Mighty Montauk Triathlon June 9: Registration is open here for this fun team-targeted Olympic-distance triathlon in Montauk.  This race is fantastic and will sell out, so hurry!Outdoor Cycling starts in April!  Dan Gallagher is leading our summertime Friday AM rides in Central Park. Please email Dan to be added to his cycling email list and stay tuned for more details on these workouts.See the calendar at frny.org for details on our regular swimming and cycling workouts. Email Mike and Rachel to be added to the weekly multisport email list.  Pride Run Stories Needed Tony Majewski asks FRNYers to share with him a story, a quote, photo, or even video (iPhone or photo booth style) about the Pride Run.  He will use these bits of information on the Facebook page. You might answer the questions: "What are you proud of? What does pride mean to you? Or share a pride or pride run memory." Email your stories to Tony. Professional Networking Event   Running into a Professional Network is tonight (Thursday) in downtown and has reached its capacity. With such great response, you can expect we’ll have another event soon! Board Meeting   All members in good standing are invited to attend all FRNY board meetings. The next board meeting will be held Thursday, May 3 at 7 PM at the home of Matt Kovich (420 West 42nd Street, Apt. 24E). Please take a look at the draft minutes from the April 10 board meeting. The draft of the May agenda is here. Please suggest agenda items to Secretary Seth Richardson. Race Report  Front Runners beat the rain Sunday morning to compete in the City Parks Foundation Run for the Parks 4-Miler.  It was a race with fast �runs, PRs, and great performances that remind why it is so fun to race as a team!On the women’s side, our top 5 speedsters were  Hilary Lorenz (7:11 pace and 8th in Age Group), Lynn Malie (29:03), Ivone Curran (33:27), Emily Shallcross (34:11), and Sarah Wheeler (34:45).  Congrats ladies!  You made it look like a walk in the park.For the men, our top 5 included Lucas Lombardo making his debut on the NYRR Honor Roll (24:02 and 7th in Age Group), tied at 24:40 were Kevin Masse and Michael Grubb (PR), Peter Lozito (24:59), and Marcus Woollen (26:33 and PR.)  Other notable performances were Matt Pych (26:54 and PR), Sam LaFata (40:28, PR, and 10th in Age Group), and Dave Pitches (28:09 and 3rd in Age Group.)  A job well done, ladies and gentlemen!Over on the Rutgers campus, T.J. Berardo ran the Unite Half-Marathon.  In a quick run down memory lane, T.J. earned a new PR of 1:40:01 at his alma mater. Outside of the roads, Jill Crouther hit the trails in the Leatherman’s Loop.  She completed the six miles of adventure in 1:10:38, 12 and a half minutes faster than last year.  Great job!Be sure to sign up for the Portugal Run and Pride Run, and we hope to see you at the races soon!

Box 230087 New York, New York 10023 membership@frny.org   Training Tip      The most efficient race is when you can run even splits the entire race. Try it! Take your splits during a race and make adjustments in your next race. For some of you, this might mean slowing down a little in the beginning of the race.  Sometimes you need to go slow to go fast(er). For others, it might mean starting out a little faster. A track race is also a good way to measure your progress during a race. For those of you who do not work out on a track yet, this is one of the many benefits of training on a track! FRNY Long Run: 4/7/12      This weekend’s long run will be a taper run for spring marathoners; recommended distance is 10-12 miles.  The run will be held Saturday morning in conjunction with the points race in Central Park and the fun run. We’ll meet up at 8 AM sharp at the 72nd St transverse at the grass triangle on the WEST side of West Drive (the opposite side of where we normally meet for fun runs). If you do not have bags you can start your long run from here and run in the opposite direction of the race to cheer on the racers.  If you need to drop a bag, Rutgers will be open starting at 9 AM. You can cheer on the runners in the park from the meeting spot and make your way back to Rutgers to drop bags and start your run at that time. FRNY Dinner in Boston: 4/15/12      In keeping with tradition, Dave Lin is organizing a carbolicious pre-race meal for all of the FRNYers in Boston on Sunday, April 15 at Antonio’s of Beacon Hill.  Please email Dave by Tuesday, April 10 if you want to attend so he can include you in the reservation.

Race Report Front Runners were running up and down the Northeast corridor this weekend. Up north in Boston, 16 Front Runners took to the hundred+ year old course, in the FRNY Boston Blue Line Run, completing the last 20 miles of the Boston Marathon in preparation for the big day on April 16. A big thank you to Dave Lin for coordinating and to Phil Wahba, Maarten Vandersman, Emily Fuchs, Michelle Johnson, Tony Majewski, and Rob Shutter for volunteering.Upstate at the Wurtsboro 30K, NY, five FRNY men flew through the hilly course. Placing 3rd overall, Mike Terry crossed the finish in 2:07! Behind him was Sean Gillick in 2:18 (1st place in age group); Jeff Werner in 2:20 (2nd place in age group); Richard White in 2:21 (2nd place in age group) and Darin Soler in 2:26 (3rd place in age group)!  Continuing down along the Northeast, here in New York, 30 Front Runners ran in the NYRR Colon Cancer Challenge 15K on Sunday. Leading the women were Ruth Loos in 1:02:24 (4th Gender Place, 2nd Age Place, 76.99 AG%!); Lynn Malle in 1:12:16; Elke Gasselseder in 1:18:17 (PR!); Yaryna Wynar in 1:18:37 (PR by more than 8 min!) and Emily Shallcross in 1:20:19. The first FRNY men were Michael Sanderson in 57:29 (19th place overall!); Steve Vizena in 58:05 (84.77 AG%!); Jeremy Reiss in 1:01:04; Charlie Herschel in 1:02:22 and Daniel Kreiss in 1:07:50. A big congrats to Jeff Schrager (1:09:34) who had a PR of almost 10 min; Cait Clancy (first time at this distance); Karl Rutter (1:54:38) who had a great training run for the Paris Marathon and Giordano Fusco whose time of 1:08:45 earned him a PR.  In the Colon Cancer Challenge 4-Miler, also on Sunday, we were represented by 15 FRNYers. Steven Gross was the first FRNY male to cross in 27:07; followed by Dave Caraway in 27:45, Walter Bridgham in 28:20; Rob Hoerburger in 30:24 and Michael Markowitz in 31:34. Representing the FRNY women, Michele Mazzara crossed the finish first in 30:18. Diane Lowy followed in 30:31 with Caitlin Clancy (31:38), Michelle Nolan (32:53) and Alison Casillo (36:05) close behind.    In the Urban Environmental Challenge 10K in Van Cortlandt Park on Sunday, Rachel Kliegman and Sandi Rowe had a seriously amazing off-trail course -- off-trail, even for Van Cortlandt Park!  Dave Pitches also conquered the off-trail VCP course in 54:37, placing him first in his age group and earning him a slice of carrot cake (which we hear was better than the VCTC’s muffins)! Across the Hudson river in the Lost Brook Trail Race, Jill Crouther ran the 10-mile course in 1:51:23. In the middle of the East river, Giovanny Leon PR’d (48:14) at the Race At Roosevelt Island 10K.  Moving south, at the Sandy Hookers Tri Club’s Indian Trails 15K in NJ, Alison McKenna climbed hills, ran over dirt roads and enjoyed the beautiful views to complete the race in 1:36. In the inaugural Atlantic City April Fools Half Marathon, Ruth Gursky completed the course in 3:10. Last stop on the Northeast corridor was the Cherry Blossom 10-mile race in Washington, DC. Congratulations to FRNYers Benjamin Corbett (1:07:27); Dennis Ng (1:11:28); Jonah Nigh (1:11:40, a PR!) Mike McMahon (1:12:06); Dave Laurence (1:20:22); Sam LaFata (1:37:16 and 5th in age group!) and recent DC transplant from NYC Emily Meyers (1:43:18 in her first time at this distance!).     Gram Submission Guidelines   To submit a piece for the race report, such as a personal record (PR), first time at a distance, or other achievement, complete this form for the Race Captains.

Click here for more information and to purchase a ride.    Training Tip   With the beginning of the Outdoor training season, I want everyone to keep in mind that when changing your workout regimen, you should not add intensity and volume during the same week.  This can potentially lead to injury. So, if you are adding speed workouts for the first time, keep your mileage relatively the same as last week. If you are increasing your mileage, then limit the number of hard workouts you do for the first time this week.  FRNY Track Trip   Some track diehards are looking to go to San Francisco on July 22 for the SF Track Club’s Pride Track meet. Please email Megan Jenkins Coryat if you think you might be interested.  Let us know if you want to be a part of the group flight and �accommodations, or if you just want to meet us out there. We’ll most likely leave on Friday evening, July 20, and return on Monday, July 23.   FRNY Multisport   Jersey Pride Triathlon Discount Our registration code for a $10 discount for the Jersey Pride Triathlon is FRNY-2012.  We will have hotel listings and information on possible pick ups from the ferry, as well as, brunch and dinner information soon.  Please register for this race!  Not to be missed.   Upcoming Races Several Front Runners will be participating Olympic and Half IM triathlons at Rev 3 Quassy  on June 2/3.  Registration is still open for these races.  Also register for our team-targeted (and old favorite) MightyMontauk  Olympic triathlon on June 9.  Email Mike and Rachel for details on hotel/transport arrangements for these races.Friday AM Outdoor Cycling!

Race Report  Although Central Park was quiet this past weekend, Front Runners were still out in force and looking as CUTE as ever in their singlets and new multisport gear!  Remaining in Manhattan, Jeany Heller took on The Great Saunter -- a 32 mile walk around the perimeter of Manhattan.  After 10 hours of trodding along, she had reached a whopping 27 miles!  Way to go!Opting to leave the city for a nature visit up in the mountains, flashes of blue and orange caught the eye as Daniel Guralnick swept through the trails of the North Face Endurance Gore-Tex 50 Mile Challenge on Saturday.  Instead of recovering the next day, he would go on to run in the New Jersey Marathon as well - a grand total of 76.2 miles in two days.  That’s crazy!  On Sunday, the hills were still alive with the colors blue and orange as Jeff Werner (2:06:43 - 9th in age group, 29th out of 517 overall!), Diane Westerback (3:46:35) and Yaryna Wynar (2:47:00 - first half-marathon!) ran the North Face Endurance Half-Marathon Challenge, slogging through mud and water to come out victorious, but no worries - the messy look is all the rage!   Also exploring bear country up at Harriman State Park on Saturday, Walter Brigham (1:17:44.2 - 11th age group finish!) and AJ Stachelek (1:27:06.4) kicked off their multisport season in the Land Rover TriRock New York Duathlon (DU to fog), with the support of Argus Galindo and Giordano Fusco -- who kept it real with real-time Facebook updates of the event. On Sunday, one major Front Runner hotspot was the Jersey Shore, as Josh Korth, Jonathan Warner, Dave Lin, Dominic Davis, Manja Srinvisaiah, Alistair Graham, Ali Kliegman, Daniel Guralnick, Douglas Larsen, Andrew Butler, Alison McKenna, and Holly Brewster completed the New Jersey Marathon with Ryan Singer, George Mayer, and Barbara Finnegan offering support and that extra oomph to push these athletes!  One very fast fashionable Front Runner, Josh Korth, blazed in at 2:38:33 (PR at a 6:04 pace!) to snag third place... and yes, I do mean OVERALL!  With just as much guts, and achieving similar PR glory were Dominic Davis (3:21:44) and Ali Kliegman (4:06:25).  With even more guts, Alistair Graham (3:44:45) ran his very first debut marathon as well.  Welcome to long distance, Alistair!Just when you thought Front Runners had escaped New Jersey this past Sunday, we find  two more of our Front Runners in the inaugural Escape to the Palisades Half-Marathon.  Both Cindy Hearing (1:57:10) and Bernie Janelle (2:00:26) were able to escape the Palisades, especially Ross Dock (hello hill!) with high age group placements (7th and 5th respectively)!!!Having successfully escaped Jersey, we cast our sights to Philadelphia, where Beth Strickland brought the orange and blue to the Broad Street Run, her very first 10 miler in 1:59:21.  Way to push the boundaries to leave it all out on the course!  Moving into Providence, we find Phil Wahba representing Front Runners at the 5th Annual Cox Providence Marathon in 4:01:40, his fifth marathon in only six months.  That’s over 130 miles of racing in half a year, not to mention the miles of training - incredible!!!And of course we can’t forget Canada, eh?  At the Goodlife Toronto Marathon, Ben Zumsteg carried our colors across international lines, completing the course in 3:08:44, his very first non-US marathon!  Great job to all competing Front Runners, both up and over mountains, over the river and through the woods, and across and over international borders!!!  You would have been blue if you had not worn your uniforms orange you glad you did?!?

Training Tip   Since this is Reach the Beach week, here’s a tip for all of the Front Runners going to this fun event.  Have the discipline to go through your regular race routine, even if you must abbreviate it for each leg. For example, if you stretch after each race/run, then make sure to get some stretching in after each run. Be sure to warm up and cool down to the extent that it is possible. Get some fluid and other easily digestible calories (gel, gu, or Clif shots) as soon as possible after each run. Plan your food intake so you can try to get a somewhat hearty meal in -- know how long it takes for you to digest your food. Don’t forget, there are side and rearview mirrors on each van so you can make sure you stay cute! And most importantly, have a blast!

Race Report   Front Runners had a picture-perfect weekend to cheer, chase a PR, shatter an old record, try a new event or distance, raise money for a good cause, experience Japanese culture or celebrate Mother’s Day.   What a great kick-off to prepare for the summer Points Race and the Pride Run in June.  Say it loud and run proud!  Let’s keep running together!                   The kick-off race began on Saturday when Front Runners chased the 2012 Olympians and other world-class athletes at the 8th annual UAE Healthy Kidney 10K run to benefit the National Kidney Foundation.  Even some of the top elite runners reported that they will train more to tackle Central Park’s rolling hills.  Not true for the 96 Front Runners who worked those hills in style to push their limits to reach new goals.  Just imagine the upcoming summer races as the hill workout season just started.  Thanks to everyone who volunteered or cheered.  Here’s how you made a difference.    Manja Srinivasaiah, photo by Da Ping Luo Kicking off the Healthy Kidney 10K race, 14 FRNY women finished.  And Inger J. Berger and Nikki Stevens completed both NYRR races this weekend.  Way to represent, Ladies!   Our FRNY top five women kicked some butt for this 10K race with Lynn Malie who led the pack in 46:52 (7:33 pace per mile) followed by Michele Mazzara in 48:13.  Coming in third, Emily Shallcross hit the mat for a net time in 54:29 with Emalinda McSpadden closely behind in 54:57.  Rounding out our top 5, Susan Convery came in at 56:08.  Well done! We had 82 FRNY men also kicked butt to complete the Healthy Kidney 10K race.  Special recognition for the following men who ran both NYRR races this weekend:  Dennis Bodden, Richard Ervais, Ed Kennelly, Zander Ross, and Sam Lafata!  Excellent representation!   Our FRNY Men kicked asphalt at the 10K race with Thomas Hammer who also kicked up some dust in 33:52 (5:28 pace, 79.29 AG%).  Josh Korth took 4th in his Age Place in 35:54 with Scott Fitzgerald earning 6th in his Age Place with a time of 36:10.  It gets better!  Steve Vizena in 38:14 earned 1st in his Age Place!  Securing the top 5 spot, Steven Wengrovitz ran a 6:14 pace per mile for a time of 38:41.  You guys have a lot to celebrate! The FRNY men also had a host of other kick-ass 10K accomplishments with the following PRs:  Liam O’Rourke who broke his previous record by over 2.5 minutes for a sub 50 (49:12), Benjamin Jooste (42:15), Giordano Fusco (43:47), and Gerry Dieffenbach with Jim McCarrick running him in at 46:46 as he gets closer to that 7:30 pace per mile.  Placing 7th in his Age Place, Scott Emmons clocked in at 51:21!  Saving the best for last, Sam Lafata came in 8th in his Age Place with a time of 1:04:50!  Congrats to everyone for your amazing accomplishments! Inger-Jo Berger, Photo by Da Ping Luo   Kicking off the weekend in Washington, DC, Emily Meyers represented FRNY at the Bright Beginnings Annual 5K race.  In addition to supporting this fundraising event to help homeless children and their families, Emily had a PR time of 23:32 and took 8th in her 30-39 age group.  Way to represent for a worthy cause, Emily!      On Sunday, 57 Front Runners joined nearly 5,000 finishers for the 6th annual Japan Day 4-Mile Run in Central Park.  The weather, mild but not sultry, had a light cooling breeze to help set the stage for some very impressive performances.  Spectators and mothers from around the world stood beside our own cheering crew to witness some smart racing. We had 13 FRNY women, alive and kicking to the finish at this 4-Mile race.Congrats to our top 5 women with Carmelina-Gabriela Ortiz taking the lead in 34:34 followed by Liz Gately in 35:29. Susan Convery secured 3rd place in 36:17 with Michele Comerford right behind in 36:37.  Lina Yateem took 5th place for our women in 36:58.  Congrats! �Congratulations to our 44 FRNY Men for kicking up their heels at the Japan Day 4-Mile race! Drum roll please for Gabe Benroth who not only led the men, but also took 1st in his Age Place for a time in 22:50 (05:43 pace per mile, 75.42 AG%!).  Jerome McDonnell followed that FRNY star to come in at 23:44 and took 4th in his Age Place (5:56 pace per mile, 74.60 AG%).  Koach Kelsey, upon his return to racing, secured 3rd place for the team in 25:07.  After his race on Saturday, Dennis Bodden took 4th place in 25:57 with a warm welcome back for Tim Guscott, rounding off the top 5 in 27:10.  Very impressive work out there! In addition to the above-mentioned stellar performances, we recognize Miguel Barrios for his 1st time at the 4-Mile race.   And Ed Kennelly with a PR time in 28:28 (7:07 pace per mile) who thanked everyone for their inspirational team spirit and power to help runners through the last mile.  And of course, last but not least, Sam Lafata who placed 8th in his Age Place in 40:35!  Keep up the hard work!      Interested in completing Bucket #6 for the FRNY Participation Award?  Online registration for VCTC Summer races is now available online at vctc.org. The 5k XC Summer Series starts on Thursday, May 24 at 7 pm and then every 2 weeks until August 16.  That’s 6 races plus a 2 x 2 mile Relay.  Details and Sign up here  for just $20.  New this year, sign up at the same time for the Relay as a 2 person team for just $10. The Riverdale Ramble 10k is on June 3rd.  Details andSign up here $20 online only or $21 by mail.   The Cancer Challenge 5k Run and 2M Walk is on June 24.  All proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society.  Details andSign-up here$25 online.

Training Tip   It is common to feel sore for a few days after a hard workout, especially two days after a hard workout. Delayed Onset Muscles Soreness (DOMS) is caused by tiny microscopic tears that occur in the muscle as a result of high intensity exercise. After the workout, the muscle begins to rebuild itself, provided it is allowed enough time and nutrients to recover.This rebuilding process creates new muscle that is bigger and stronger than before, not the workout itself. So, many people were sore after their first workout. This is normal. There’s not a lot that you can do, except wait it out. You can do some light exercise and then stretch it out to make it feel better. Some people like ice baths or alternating hot/cold baths. Either way, don’t let it discourage you from continuing with the workouts--as you get used to them, you will feel less sore after each workout.

Race Report May 18th, 19th, and 20th will surely go down in the record books as a glorious and beautiful weekend for Front Runners New York.  FRNY teams reached the beach at Horseneck State Beach in Westport, Massachusetts as well as a subway ride �away at Coney Island. Some competed in superhero races while others silently yet valiantly ran faster and farther than ever before. We have a lot to be proud of, FRNY!     A few hours and miles north of the city, Front Runners sent five ultra teams to complete the Spring Reach the Beach relay. An epic journey of 200 miles run from Wachusset Ski Mountain to Horseneck State Beach in Wesport helped foster team camaraderie, spirit, guts, and mental toughness to fight the elements and successfully reach the beach.  Let’s hear it for the Reach the Beach teams!  Trent Kirkpatrick, Heather Wopat, Steven Gross, Chris Miller, Jim McCarrick and Benjamin Jooste endeavored on an epic journey as an ultra-team at the Massachusetts Reach the Beach Relay as team FRNY Born This Way. Along the way, they encountered really hot weather, really cold weather, Lyme disease-bearing ticks, questionable vintage running attire, intestinal problems, a 7 minute hold up by a freight train, a bad knee and vicious blisters, and a last minute reshuffle of legs to complete the race. But they rocked every minute of it with grace, poise, and lots of laughs and no sleep. After adjusting the time for the freight train, they completed the race at 26 hours and 55 minutes. Team FRNY Born This Way Running as an FRNY co-ed ultra team this yearwas FRNY ULTRA MIXED-UP, featuring (in relay order) Bernie Janelle, Daniel Guralnick, Brendan Moroney, Cindy Hearing, Rachel Cutler and Matt Kovich This was the first RTB Ultra for Bernie, Brendan and Rachel, and the first RTB for Daniel and Matt.  Joining them were drivers and den mother/father Megan Jenkins Coryat and A.J. Stachelek. They finished in 28:51:31, at an average pace of 8:38, which was fifth place in the Ultra Mixed division! Impressive shout outs go to Bernie for killing that first crazy hill up the mountain, Daniel for running what was hands down the hardest legs of all, Brendan for an impressive average pace of 7:30, Cindy for her ability to look gorgeous even after running the heck out of 8.11 miles at 5:56am, Rachel for recruiting and organizing such a great group, and Matt for his uncanny mathematic ability to predict and adjust as necessary the start times of each leg throughout the whole 29 hours. A special shout out also needs to go to Megan and AJ for making sure nobody ever got lost, always being there at the transition area with the recovery drink of choice, and doing it with a smile the entire time. Even under the extreme circumstances demanded of RTB, the team pulled through unscathed and still laughing at the end, and with even more love and deep respect for each other than before! FRNY Ultra Mixed Up  The Front Runner NY Ultragays showed ultra speed and ultra spirit -- completing the 200 mile race in 23:28:21 placing these guys 4th overall!  Steven Wengrovitz, Mike Terry, Gabe Benroth, Peter Macari, Andrew Crabb and David Lin maintained a 7:01 average pace through the heat and hills of Massachusetts.  The team couldn’t have done it without the support of Ultragirl Driver Natalie Johnston and Den Master Matt Anderson who drove and supported the team straight through the 24 hour race!  Highlights (and lowlights) included a friendly connection with Boston Gay Urban Running League (GURL) team over "Call Me Maybe," having a short break from running while waiting for a train to pass through the course, the admiration of our van decorations and experiencing the love and support from fellow RTB teams via twitter and in person.  All making this a truly great experience for the Ultragays!  FRNY Ultra Gays   Returning for the second annual Reach The Beach Massachusetts race, team A Case of the Runners proudly represented FRNY to place 2nd overall for the second consecutive year. Finishing in 21 hours and 28 minutes, they averaged an impressive 6:25 pace for over 200 miles and bettered their previous year’s performance by an hour. In running order the team consisted of five veteran RTB-Ultra runners Jonathan Warner, Chris Fisher, Jerry McDonnell, Michael Sanderson, Steven Waldon and ultra-virgin, Thomas Hammer.   The team is most proud of its ability to manage all 36 legs with consistent pacing and sans drama. However, a great race is only possible with great help and captaining the mighty Ford Econoline was Michael Orzechowski, further cementing his position as the most reliable and experienced RTB driver. Supporting the driver and the runners, Chris Stoia den-mothered the van ensuring that no need from any runner went unmet. Chris kept the runners fueled and focused on the task at hand: running. The efforts of Chris and Mike contributed greatly to the exceptional performance of the team.  Case of the Runners and Ultra FRNY   Team Ultra Front Runners New York was out to run fast, have fun, and most importantly be cute!  The team comprised of Todd Raymond, Kelsey Louie, Brad Gayman, John MacConnell, and Josh Korth set out to do something that had not been done before in Front Runners which was to run the relay as a five-person team.  Without getting lost once, Michael Klein transported these speedy yet sometimes smelly boys from transition to transition (even while trying to get rid of those telling bad stories in the van). Everyone stayed mentally tough with their eyes on the prize, and it paid off. For the first time in FRNY and Reach the Beach history, an ultra team won an event in the Reach the Beach race series.  With a time of 21:17:18 and overall pace of 6:22, �the team contributes their determination and cuteness to all those involved especially Nicki Minaj and Poptarts!   Now, the focus was also on another beach that we all know and love, Coney Island!  A remarkable 162 Front Runners raced from Prospect Park to Coney Island in a club and NYRR fan favorite as well: the Brooklyn Half.  It turns out that reaching the beach is a popular venture for all of our runners! 130 FRNY men competed in the Brooklyn Half and our guys had an incredible race.  In his fastest half in five years, Rich Valezquez blazed through the course in 1:13:58 (5:39 pace), getting 8th in his age group and 35th overall. This was Rich’s 3rd race in a row at over 80% AG, and he’s come in 1st place out of Front Runners in all three of the points races this year.  The new course also helped Rich to set a new FRNY Brooklyn Half record, beating the previous record (set by Thomas Hammer last year) by almost two minutes.  Way to go, Rich!  Not far behind was Tyler Raymond, coming in at 1:15:33 (5:47 pace, 78.38%).  Thiswas Tyler’s second points race for the club (the first one was the Scotland 10k), and both times he’s finished in the top three Front Runners.  Coming in third was Kevin Masse, who (as promised), rocked this race with a brand new PR of 1:23:06.  Well done!  Our 4th and 5th place scorers both ran their very first NYRR race for FRNY on Saturday. Daniel Ferguson, showed that he’s just as impressive on the road as he is in the pool with a 1:23:28, breaking 70% AG for the first time after 8 NYRR races. Alan Trammell rounded out the top five in 1:23:43.  Together, our five fastest men brought FRNY to a 10th place finish citywide.  Well done, guys!     Our men’s Masters team also fared well, scoring 13th place in the city.  Making his return to racing on his home turf of Brooklyn, double-scoring Rick Buckheitcame in at 1:26:14, earning him 10th age and 80.4% AG--the highest AG performance of the team.  It’s good to see you back, Rick!  Coming in 2nd at 1:27:19 was Damiam Hartner.  This was Damian’s fastest Half in NYRR history, and he’s done 31 since 2001.  Awesome!  And celebrating his 51st birthday this week with a 3rd place finish was Marty McElhiney, whose 1:28:34 was the fastest Half he’s run since 1998 when he was 36.  Congratulations! Again, though, it was our Vets team that finished the day taking home some hardware.  Rick and Marty were joined by Richard White, who impressed us again with a 1:28:40.  Richard has done more than 50(!) half marathons since the mid-1990s.  Amazingly though, after 17 years of racing, Saturday’s performance was his fastest one on NYRR record! What an inspiration!  Rick, Marty and Richard’s amazing accomplishments brought FRNY 3rd Place in the Vets category.  And for the record, FRNY is now the only Vets team in the city to have placed in the top three for all of the points races this year.  Awesome!! Finally, our Supervets also impressed with a 6th Place citywide. Dave Pitches led the way with a 1:43:35 (7th age), followed by Paul Racine (1:47:09) and Scott Emmons (1:54:42).  Excellent job, gentlemen! There were some remarkable PRs as well on the guys side.  Congratulations to Jeff Schrager (1:40:40), Jeremy Reiss (1:25:03), Matt Pych (1:34:16), Craig Goodwin (3:10:45), Benjamin Corbett (1:28:09), Giordano Fusco (1:38:24), Michael Grubb (1:26:41), Andrew Cunningham (1:36:14), Gerry Dieffenbach (1:46:27), Tim Modisette (2:08:24) and T.J. Bearardo (1:39:34).  Congratulations to Michael Jerome-Smith for running his first half-marathon in 1:39:09.  Also running fast races for themselves while training through the year were Elliot Fishman (1:59:19) and Jeffrey Grossman (1:45:37). Equally impressive this weekend was the FRNY women’s squad! Coming out on Saturday to race from the park to the sea were 31 fabulously fast ladies that ranged from ages 29-58.  Six women on the team had Age-Graded Percentages in the range of 61.92% to 76.14%.  This shows hard work and fast running by all ages! The first five women to cross the finish at the boardwalk were led by Ruth Loos in a new PR of 1:29:55 while also earning 6th in her age group!  Ruth has placed 1st in every race for FRNY women and top 10 in her age category for NYRR that she has raced as well!  Shortly thereafter, Ruth was followed by Rachel Kliegman (1:44:13) and Hilary Lorenz (1:44:26).  Hilary has placed in the top 5 for FRNY women in each race she has run this year!  Fourth to finish was Silke Feeken (1:48:34), and Michelle Mazzara (1:50:35) who has also placed in the top 5 for FRNY women in each race this year! Our women’s masters team was 8th citywide!  This was due to the fast running again by Ruth Loos, Hilary Lorenz, and Silke Feeken.  This is a remarkable feat and we are showing the city our depth in all age categories! The Women Vets team ran fast as well with the help of Diane Westerback (2:22:31), newcomer of the year, Lourdes Blanco (2:36:16), and Sarah Garrison (2:40:39). We would like to welcome back Jen Ishii to the racing scene while completing the race in 1:56:21.  The women had some blazing fast PRs in this race as well to prove there was no sleep til’ Brooklyn.  These speedsters included Florence Hogan (2:17:34) and Katherine Wilson (2:15:31).  Congratulations again, women, let’s keep up the hard work and fast running!! Over in Morristown, New Jersey, Michael Markowitz ran the Super Hero Half-Marathon in a speedy 1:48:33.  He was particularly happy to be the first Front Runner to cross the line at this race and enjoyed the fun and festive atmosphere. � Well done, Michael! On Sunday morning, Sean Gillick, along with a few thousand other cyclists, met on the lower-level of the George Washington Bridge to participate in Gran Fondo New York.  After 110 miles, four timed climbs, including Bear Mountain, and nearly perfect weather, he finished across the Hudson river from Manhattan in Weehawken, NJ. Going international, we had our very own Inger-Jo Berger run the Copenhagen Marathon which was described as a flat course in sunny weather!  She reports that there was wonderful support and music along the way, and the finisher’s medal was perhaps the nicest she had ever received. Great job to all of our Front Runners for what will be known as an epic racing weekend.  Let’s keep up the momentum and the fun!  Most importantly, be cute out there!

Box 230087 New York, New York 10023 membership@frny.org   Call for Assistant Coaches   It is with much gratitude for their hard work for the club that we announce FRNY’s Assistant Coaches Darin and Chris are stepping down at the end of this season.    FRNY is seeking to replace Chris and Darin with three new positions. Our Assistant Coaches are among the most committed of our volunteers: they answer numerous emails; �help to plan workouts and long runs; lead warm ups, drills and stretching; support our members in their training and racing; and advise the board on FRNY’s annual awards. Assistant Coaches work year-round for FRNY.  A full description of the roles of the Assistant Coaches is here. If this sounds like a volunteer position that you are interested in, please email the Coaching Committee a statement of interest by the end of the day today. In your email, please answer the following questions in about 500 words or fewer:   Which position(s) are you interested in (Track, Hills, or Long Runs)?Why are you interested in being an Assistant Coach?What qualities or experience can you bring to the role of Assistant Coach? Assistant Coaches are appointed by the board of FRNY at the recommendation of the Coaching Committee and the Head Coach.  FRNY Friday Social: Tomorrow   Let’s all head to the fancy shmancy Boiler Room (86 East 4th Street) this Friday, May 4, to welcome our former social committee member Timmy Wilson starting at 6:30 PM.

Beginners Clinic Volunteers Needed   Many thanks to everyone who has signed up and run with our beginners clinic participants in the first 4 weeks of the program, including Michelle Johnson, Meryl Wimberly, Ivone C., Devon McSweeney, Jeff Grossman, Jeff Caprio, Jean Simeon, Johnny Fraser, Eric Maldonado, and Blossom Coryat (among others!  Forgive me if I forgot to mention you!). We could use your help, especially next week. Please sign up to run with a beginner. We will be getting up to 3 and 4 miles by next week and working on building their speed. Bageling We have bagelers for the next couple weekends(thank you, Beth Strickland, Rob Lyons, Tom Minogue, and Liam O’Rourke!). Please email Megan Jenkins Coryat if you can bagel on one of the available dates. We will give you instructions and a board member is always there to help out (usually more than one!), so don’t worry if you don’t know what you’re doing.      May 19 (Brooklyn Half and RTB) Bageler 1: Miguel BarriosBageler 2: _____________Board Member: Seth RichardsonMay 26Bageler 1: _____________Bageler 2: _____________Board Member: Gemma Sanz de la Serna   June 2Bageler 1: _____________Bageler 2: _____________Board Member: Megan Coryat   Training Tip   Spring Marathoners should be recovering, running only when they feel like it.  Please remember that bones are still soft for up to two weeks after a marathon, so no hard running!

National Running Day: 6/6/12   Show the city your FRNY pride on National Running Day: Wednesday, June 6. Thousands of runners will be participating in events throughout the city, so wear your FRNY gear to our regular Wednesday fun run. We will have "Nice Legs" stickers and other FRNY swag on hand to give out to people in the park.

That includes a new food for dinner the night before or breakfast before the race, new socks, new shorts, etc. It’s best to try something out first on a workout day.  Long Runs: 7/1/12  The first organized long run of the season will take place on Saturday, July 1 and will have a base mileage of 10 miles. We will leave from the basement of Rutgers at 9:15 am, but you can arrive as early as 9:00. If you plan on running longer than 10 miles or at a slower pace than 10:00/mile please let Jonathan Warner know in advance. The course will begin at Rutgers, west along 73rd Street to Riverside Drive, east along 110th Street to the north entrance of Central Park, then south to 72nd Street. The run will finish with a five mile loop in Central Park. We will have a brief meeting in the Rutgers space after the Fun Run brunch.

Race Report Front Runners came out this weekend to show their pride and passion for swimming, biking and running.  They donned their gay apparel for international competition, co-sponsored racing events, local community events, and triathlon season openers.      Three Front Runners joined Team New York Aquatics to win their first IGLA 2012 Championship in Iceland. TNYA won for their outstanding performance in the following events:  swimming, polo, diving and the Pink Flamingos! Koach Kent Lau swam 9 races, won 4 medals (1 gold, 3 bronze) and set 3 personal bests. Tom Malcolm and Onesimo DeMira also had phenomenal swims! Congrats, TNYA!     Our first local community event took place on Thursday night when Urban Athletics and Front Runners sponsored the third annual Sunset and Suds 5K Run. This fast and flat, out-and-back course, ended with a post race party (with free beer!) at the Hudson Beach Caf? in Riverside Park.  Congratulations and thanks to the 35+ Front Runners for their participation!   Julio and Eric, photo by Da Ping Luo Highlights from the Sunset and Suds5K event included Ruth Loos, the 1st female (19:48) followed by Megan Coryat (22:25) who made the top 5 women’s Leaderboard.  Nice comeback race for Megan!  And for the FRNY men, Jerome McDonnell took 7th overall place (17:52).  Sam, Hiro, and Cenk, photo by Da Ping Luo Special recognition for the Front Runners who placed 1st in their respective age group for the Sunset and Suds 5K race include:  Marty McElhiney (19:14), Spencer Neyland (19:14), Richard White (19:29), Ruth Loos (19:48), Megan Coryat (22:25), Mark Mascolini (24:09), Meryl Wimberly (26:35), Dave Pitches (27:02), and Sam Lafata (32:18).  Congrats to everyone for your smart racing while supporting Urban Athletics!    PRs for the Sunset and Suds 5K race include: Ruth Loos (19:48) and Craig Goodwin (33:59).   Also on Thursday night, 4 Front Runners participated in the Van Cortland Park Track Club X-C 5K Summer Series.  The runners started on the Parade Ground ("the flats") just north of the Tortoise & the Hare statue and proceeded onto the historic cross country �course, which means racing over the back hills!  Highlights included two carrot cake winners, Cindy Hearing in 25:38 (3rd in Age Place) and Bernie Janelle in 26:39 (1st in Age Place).  Congrats to Jill Crouther and Tom Henning for completing a great race!     Very early on Saturday morning, 6 Front Runners competed in the 30th anniversary of the RJA Memorial Mighty Montauk Triathlon, a club favorite. Long considered the east end opener, this race founded by the late Robert J. Aaron, has served as the oldest continuous race on Long Island. The scenic course consists of a 1 mile swim, 22 miles on the bike followed by 6.2 miles for the run.    The swim took place in Lake Montauk while the bike and run portions traversed the end of Long Island with its rolling terrain and beautiful seascapes.    Out of a very competitive field, Mike Terry was 16th overall and 5th in his age group.  Dan Gallagher made the podium for his age group (3rd) while also managing to place 27th overall.  Josh Korth completed his first triathlon and was 5th in his age group and 39th overall.  After having to change a flat tire, Rachel Cutler still posted an impressive finish and showed us again why she is Front Runner of the Year!  Dave Pitches made us proud earning first in his age group, and he is known as a celebrity at this  race!  AJ Stachelek had a weekend of firsts as this was the first time he completed this distance and it was his longest swim to date!  Thanks to Dan Elliot for cheering.  Also, a special shout-out to Rachel and AJ for getting engaged two days prior and then racing the tri like pros!   Later on Saturday morning, 45 FRNY women participated in the 40th anniversary of the world’s first all-women road race, the NYRR New York Mini 10K. Inspired by elite runners Kathrine Switzer and Nina Kuscsik who came out to celebrate the anniversary of Title IX, our FRNY women took pride in representing their team.     After the Mini 10K, Photo by Da Ping Luo Our top 5 women placed 27th overall in the Mini 10K with the following representation:  Michele Mazzara led the women for a new PR in 47:47 followed by Cindy Hearing with her new PR time in 50:56. Bernie Janelle came in third at 51:32.  Megan McDavid ran a solid race with a time of 52:15. Lynn Canfield finished strong rounding out the top 5 in 52:50. What a great return to racing, Megan and Lynn!    Our 40+ women came in 18th place at the Mini 10K with Michele Mazzara and Cindy Hearing double-scoring for the team with Bernie Janelle coming in third.   Our 50+ women, led by Bernie Janelle who triple scored for the team with assistance from Diane Westerback (1:00:48). and Lourdes Blanco (1:11:24) to secure 16th place in the Mini 10K. Finally, our 60+ women led by Sandra Krac in 1:18:36 followed by Lenore Beaky in 1:22:23 and Judith Adessa in 1:22:57 proudly came in 8th place at the Mini 10K. Congratulations, Ladies!    PRs at the Mini 10K include:  Diane Westerback (1:00:48), Cristina Vaccaro (1:01:23) and Florence Hogan (1:02:39).    Co-Sponsored with Front Runners, the Brooklyn Pride 5K event took place on Saturday morning.  The LGBT community and friends showed their pride for this festive and inclusive event in Prospect Park with 268 participants (200 more than last year!).  Congratulations to Marty Perl for his PR time (21:27). Many thanks to Karl Rutter and Brendan Moroney for all their work making this race, and the festival afterward a real success!   FRNY Brooklyn Pride Booth, photo by Brendan Moroney In addition, on Saturday morning, the Kinderhook Runners Club sponsored the KinderhookOK 5K race.  For the 2nd time this weekend, Marty McElhiney raced this 5K in 18:57 (6:06 pace per mile) to earn 3rd in his Age Group.     Moving to Sunday, another triathlon season opener race began very early in the morning. The Ironman 70.3 Eagleman takes place in Cambridge, MD. Ranked as one of the most popular triathlons in the country, Alison McKenna returned to complete the event for the 7th time.  She completed the half-ironman TRI in 6:45:01.  Alison had the most consistent run for this event, even with the mid 90 degree temps and no shade on the course.       Another race on Sunday, the Richard M. Brodsky Foundation 5K Race took place in Cedar Park, Long Island. Florence Hogan represented FRNY with her 2nd PR time (29:57) in one weekend.    Also on Sunday, Ruth Loos ran the 5K@ADA Race, as part of the American Diabetes Association annual conference event to encourage healthy exercise.

She took 1st place (Age Group) and 2nd place overall female with 28 seconds off from her Sunset & Suds 5K PR race.   Congratulations, everyone!  Let’s continue to show our pride and passion for �swimming, biking and/or running throughout this 2012 LGBT PRIDE month of June!      This Sunday, just a reminder to show your support and come out to cheer for our FRNY men at the Portugal Day 5 mile Points Race.  Gram Submission Guidelines   To submit a piece for the race report, such as a personal record (PR), first time at a distance, or other achievement, complete this form for the Race Captains.

Race Report It’s starting to get hotter, the days are getting longer, and Pride weekend is just around the corner!  This can only mean one thing -- smokin’ hot races for Front Runners New York!  Per usual, Front Runners were not just limited to races in Central Park, there were also out and about in Massachusett; West Virginia; and Rock Hill, New York.   79 Front Runners came out to represent our team in the NYRR Portugal Day 5-miler. Even though this was a men’s points race, both men and women showed us our depth as a team!   Lucky 7 Ruth Loos has been the first woman to cross the finish line for FRNY in the 7 races she has run in 2012. From distances of the 5k up to the 15k, Ruth has dominated. On Sunday, she crossed the line as the first woman in her age group!  She was also the 6th female finisher overall.  In her very first five miler, she managed a 6:31 pace to finish in 32:31 with an AG percentage of 77.41 which is her highest to date!  Keep up that superb racing, Ruth!  Following Ruth, were High 5 Blossom Coryat and Lucky #7 Carmelina-Gabriela Ortiz in fabulously fast times of 41:46 and 42:22 respectively. Carmelina raced her 7th race of 2012 with her highest age-graded percentage to date, 59.04!  Rounding out the top 5 women were Alison Casillo (45:22) and Tara Amato (45:47) in her 5 miler pr and just a second shy of her best pace ever!  Keep it up ladies!!   Led by John MacConnell, our Men’s Open team captured 9th Place in the "A" Division.  This was John’s first NYRR 5-miler in two years.  After taking 2011 off from racing, John has now done 3 of the 4 points races this year, scoring for the team each time. His 27:06 (5:26 pace / 78.76% AG) means he’s back in great shape, but we’re all really excited to see what the next few months have in store for him as he starts training for the Chicago Marathon in October.  In 2nd place was Gabe Benroth, with a fantastic time of 28:52 (5:47 pace).  This was Gabe’s first time scoring for the team in 2012, but it follows a string of excellent performances over the last month including 5th Age in the Wall Street Run, and 2nd Age at the Japan Day 4-miler. We can’t wait to see what else 2012 has in store for you, Gabe!  Third place was Josh Korth, coming in at 29:08 (5:50 pace).  We were all lucky to have Josh racing for us this week, when he isn’t away doing a triathlon somewhere.  For those of you who didn’t know, Josh just did his first tri last weekend in Montauk, where he was 5th in his age group, and will be doing the Philly Tri this Sunday.  Good luck, Josh!   In 4th Place was Michael Klein, (29:28 / 5:54 pace) who scored for his very first time in an NYRR Points Race! Woohoo!  And believe it or not, this was actually Michael’s very first 5 mile race ever!  Michael only started racing for FRNY in October 2011, but in the past 8 months, we’ve seen him go from 63% AG to 73%.  Keep up the good work, Michael!  And rounding out the top 5 was Kevin Masse (30:07 / 6:02 pace). This was Kevin’s second Points Race in a row scoring for the team (he came in 3rd in the Brooklyn half), and his third race in a row at over 70%.  It’s great to see such consistent performances from you, Kevin! �  Our Masters and Vets teams fared very well too. After taking the Brooklyn Half off to rest from a hard season of racing, both Steve Vizena and Patrick Guilfoyle came out to support the team yesterday.  Steve’s 31:00 (6:12 pace) landed him a 4th Place age group spot and the highest FRNY AG% yesterday (82.7%), and Patrick’s 31:37 got him a 13th place and the second highest AG (79.08%). Joining them to take home 11th place in the Masters competition was Damian Hartner, who finished in 31:57. This was Damian’s fastest NYRR 5-miler in history, with 20 of them spanning over the past 11 years (remember, last month at Brooklyn was Damian’s fastest Half in his history too).  Great job, Damian! And helping to take home 7th Place for the Men’s Vets team was Mike McMahon, finishing in a strong 34:33 (18th age).  This was Mike’s fastest 5-miler in a year and a half. Congratulations!   Finally, leading the way for our Super-vets was Mark Mascolini, whose 38:02 (7:37 pace, 70.37% AG) helped to take home 7th place for the team.  Right behind Mark was Paul Racine, finishing in 39:48 (7:58 pace), and Steve McLure, coming in strong at 44:24.  Well done, gentlemen!   A few extra shout-outs go to Jerry McDonnell, Luke Lombardo and Breandan Ward, who all finished in under a 6:05 pace.  After breaking into the 70+ AG%, Jeremy Reiss has managed to stay there for the fourth race in a row with a PR at 31:15.  And Michael Grubb also PR’d yesterday with a 31:24.  Excellent work to all of you!   The PRs and great races did not just stop there! Congratulations to Karl Rutter (1:02:55) and Craig Goodwin (1:00:00) on their races this weekend.  Also, PRs were the talk of the town with new ones in the 5 miler for Jim McCarrick (34:18), Giordano Fusco (34:35 and first time under 7 minute pace!!), Ed Kennelly (35:57), and Elliot Fishman (38:58).  Congratulations to Sam LaFata for 10th place in his Age Group in a deep men’s field this past weekend!    Over in Rock Hill Richard White is gaining speed in a slew of fast 5ks this racing season. Richard won his age group and was 27th place overall at the Rhulen Run & Ramble 5K!  It is incredible that this is his fifth 5k PR in 2 months with a stellar time of 19:12. Can’t wait to see how much these fast races improve that marathon time of yours, Richard!   Also, we are thrilled to announce that the winner of the Copake 5k this past weekend was our very own track star, Martin McElhiney!!  Marty finished in first with a lightening fast, 18:22!  Marty paved the way for some other spectacular runs by Front Runners.  Justine Repaci was 1st in her age group with a smokin’ 24:20, and not far behind was a speedy run by Mercedes Pacheo (25:01) to place 2nd in her age group.  Way to represent FRNY in the 5ks this summer, ladies and gentlemen!   Daniel Guralnick, David Lin, and Jonathan Warner ventured out to Canaan Valley, West Virginia for the 10th running of the Highlands Sky Trail Run. The point to point course stretches 40 miles, incorporating 5,474 feet of climbing and 4,856 feet of steep descent. It was a  memorable course for all three men, although the ’favorite’ parts varied: the first 15 miles (a 2300 foot ascent is followed by a 1700 foot descent, and then another 1200 foot climb); the Butt Slip, a very steep four mile stretch toward the end of the course, composed of mud and loose rocks; and the Road Across the Sky, 7 miles of undulating fire road atop the second peak. Impressively, all three men finished this grueling race well under the cut off time of 12:00. Daniel and Dave, both new to the race, came in at 9:52 and 10:10, respectively. Jonathan finished in 7:08, 11th place overall and a 38-minute improvement from last year.   And last but definitely not least, 10 Front Runners participated in an 125-mile ride across Cape Cod from Boston to Provincetown, MA hosted by Outriders (Boston cycling group). The group started at 6:00 AM on Saturday morning and completed the ride by the afternoon/evening. Great cycling was had all around.  Congratulations again to Mike Terry, Dan Gallagher, Bryce Rudyk, Sean Gillick, Rachel Cutler, AJ Stachelek, Michelle Mazarra, Cindy Hearing, Dave Pitches, and Daniel O’Neill.   Good luck to everyone at the Pride Run this weekend!! Make sure to come out and cheer if you are not racing! We can’t wait for this race as it is sure to be the best, fastest, and most fun Pride Run on record!

The award goes to the first male and female masters FRNYers to finish.

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.  Also consider other factors like getting over an illness, lack of sleep, a parade, or a weekend of heavy drinking! Long Runs: 6/30/12  The first organized long run of the season will take place on Saturday, June 30 and will have a base mileage of 10 miles. We will leave from the basement of Rutgers at 9:15 am, but you can arrive as early as 9:00. If you plan on running longer than 10 miles or at a slower pace than 10:00/mile please let Jonathan Warner know in advance. The course will begin at Rutgers, west along 73rd Street to Riverside Drive, east along 110th Street to the north entrance of Central Park, then south to 72nd Street. The run will finish with a five mile loop in Central Park. We will have a brief meeting in the Rutgers space after the Fun Run brunch.

Not only did they complete the 26.2 mile race, they took the message of marriage equality to the last frontier; sharing with locals and tourists from more red states than you can count about their wedding and marriage. From running the marathon in their veils to chatting up neighbors on the train, they felt the warmth and support of the people they met. The only regret was not meeting up with the Anchorage Front Runners during their trip. They’ll just need to get back up there again soon to meet them!    Congratulations to all and great running everyone!

Bageling Are you free to bagel this weekend?  Please email Megan Jenkins Coryat if you are!  June 9 (Women’s Mini 10K and BK Pride)   Bageler 1: _____________Bageler 2: _____________Board Member: Matt Kovich Training Tip This tip is intended specifically for those who don’t race often (and are planning to run the Pride Run), but is a good reminder for even those who race regularly. Pace yourself at the beginning of a race. The most common mistake runners make is taking it out too fast. Don’t let the excitement of the race pull you out at a pace you can’t maintain.  Wed. Fun Run Change: 6/13/12  Due to the running of the Chase Corporate Challenge in Central Park next Wednesday night (June 13), we will have our Wednesday fun run in Riverside Park. We will meet at 7 PM at 72 Street and Riverside Drive at the Eleanor Roosevelt statue.  Please spread the word to anyone who may not check email regularly. FRNY Multisport Multisport Cycling Clinic with Mike and Rachel: On Thursday, June 14, join Mike and Rachel for a clinic on the basics of cycling and triathlon transition in preparation for the Jersey Pride or NYC Triathlon. The clinic will be held at 6 PM at Riverbank State Park prior to outdoor track practice. If possible, bring your bike so that you can participate hands-on. Koach Kelsey will run a tri-specific workout following the clinic for anyone interested.   Jersey Pride Triathlon Discount: Our registration code for a $10 discount for the Jersey Pride Triathlon on July 8 is FRNY-2012. Register for this race!  Not to be missed.   See the calendar at frny.org for details on our regular swimming and cycling workouts.

Race Report This race week provided ample opportunity to explore New York City on foot as New York Road Runners hosted two races, one down Wall Street and the other in Central Park.  While racing the American Heart Association Wall Street Run on Thursday evening, 35 Front Runners took to the streets for a 3 mile course that was right on the money!  The first five investments for our Front Runner women were Blossom Coryat - 24:46, Devon McSweeney - 25:15, Tara Amato - 27:25, Diane Westerback - 28:20, and Amy Adams 28:35.  Stacey Cooper also rang in 34:06, a new PR in the bank for her!  For the men’s team, Scott Fitzgerald - 17:04 (3rd place in AG!), Gabe Benroth - 17:15 (5th place in AG!), Charlie Herschel - 18:19, Jeffrey Werner - 18:48, and Richard Buckheit 18:55 (4th place in AG!) came in at the bell as the first five of our Front Runner men in this quick course!  In Central Park, 57 Front Runners participated in the Celebrate Israel race Sunday morning.  The first five men to cross the finish line for Front Runners consisted of Rich Velazquez - 21:21 (who placed 2nd OVERALL, just 6 seconds per mile behind the winner and 1st place in AG), Kevin Masse - 23:33 (6th place in AG), Jerome McDonnell - 23:44 (5th place in AG), J. Daniel Ferguson - 24:05 (3rd place in AG), and Michael Grubb - 24:50 (10th place in AG) securing a 2nd place finish for the men’s team!  When asked how he does it, Rich explained that he takes time for recovery runs, dynamic stretching, and recently decreased his strength training program to become lighter and faster on his feet - and he feels great!!  Other tremendous feats of athletic prowess were achieved by Sam Lafata (9th place in AG), Elliot Fishman (31:58 - PR), Matt Pych (26:31 - PR in AG) and Jason Fluegge (31:20 PR)!  For the women, Bernie Janelle - 31:52 (5th place in AG), Ivone Curran 32:59, Blossom Coryat - 34:19, Carmelina-Gabriela Ortiz - 34:23, and rounding off the top FRNY women finishers were the brides-to-be Rachel Kliegman and Sandi Rowe who tied the knot later that day!  Amazing accomplishments on the women’s team were also achieved by Jeany Heller (46:01 - PR in AG)!  Great job to all!  Or should I say... Mazel Tov!Outside of the city, Front Runners also had quite the sweet showing in Sweden, while still others rocked out in San Diego!  At the Stockholm Marathon, the dynamic duo of Zander Ross and Richard Ervais rain through 35 mph winds in a 40 degree rain, and came out soggy but triumphant in 4:12:19, despite the strong desire to find shelter instead.  Great job guys!  Way to pull each other through!!!  Two of our rockstar Front Runners hammered out successes in the San Diego Rock n Roll Half-Marathonand Marathon. Jeff Schrager - 1:41:15 was proud to represent Front Runners in the half-marathon, while Brittany Freese - 5:09:47 rocked out to the tune of a 27 minute PR!  Excellent!The stakes were high and so was his AG, as Dennis Ng - 21:15 (3rd place in AG) participated in the Belmont Stakes Blue Ribbon Run 5K.  The sandy track was no match for his speed!  Meanwhile, high up in the hilly terrain of New Jersey, Jill Crouther - 1:07:35 continues to dominate the NJ Trail Series Spring Races.  Yes indeed, the hills are alive to the sound of Jill’s footsteps!  In New Jersey, Alison McKenna roamed the shore, tackling the Jersey Genesis Triathlon 1:52:57, securing 4th place in her AG!Although many Front Runners travel by land, a few were by sea as they took the plunge in the NJ Nav-E-Sink 1.2 and 2.4 mile Swims.  George Mayer cheered on Daniel Guralnick as he swam the 1.2 mile swim and also teammates Dave Lin, Alison McKenna, and Cindy Hearing (longest open water swim to date great job!)  as they completed the 2.4 mile course.  When it’s sink or swim, Front Runners always come out waves above the rest -- well done!   Gram Submission Guidelines   To submit a piece for the race report, such as a personal record (PR), first time at a distance, or other achievement, complete this form for the Race Captains.

Training Tip Learn how to choose your races wisely. It’s best to have a primary goal when you are faced with tough decisions like what to race this week/weekend. You should not run multiple races within a few days of each other and expect to run PRs all the time. Be realistic with your goals and expectations.  Races are a good way to get in a tempo run by running it as a workout.  It’s a good time to run with a teammate.  It also builds character.   Marathon Charity Partner In order to serve the community and provide our members with opportunities to run in the ING New York City Marathon, we are looking at teaming up with a Charity Partner for the 2012 race.  Qualified partners are 501(c)(3) organizations with guaranteed entries for the marathon available to Front Runners. Ideally, Charity Partners are also able to cross-promote FRNY and provide the club with additional benefits (such as training opportunities, volunteers, or meeting locations).  We encourage all interested charitable organizations to submit a proposal to the board by Friday, July 27 at 5 PM.  Please contact Dave Lin with any questions.   Bageling Big thanks to our bagelers for the next couple weeks!   July 14 (Points Race)    Bageler 1: Will HattonBageler 2: Benjamin JoosteBoard Member: Sandi Rowe    July 21    Bageler 1: Gordon RuckdeschelBageler 2: Karin LundellBoard Member: Gemma Sanz de la Serna July 28    Bageler 1: Craig GoodwinBageler 2: John WhooleyBoard Member: Megan Coryat   August 4   Meet the Membership Picnic FRNY Multisport  CONGRATULATIONS to all of the FRNY Multisporters who competed in the Jersey Pride and NYC Triathlons this past weekend!   Ironman NYC FRNY Water Station: 8/11/12 Save the date and sign up!  NYC’s first-ever Ironman triathlon will take place on Saturday, August 11.  FRNY will be operating the mile 17 water station on the run course (on the UWS, near the GW Bridge).  Please sign up to man the water station for either or both shifts here. Password is frontrunners.

Race Report Congrats to Front Runner volunteers and athletes for braving the heat this weekend while looking cute, acting cool and getting fired up to reach your goals!   Let’s MULTISPORT together! Front Runners never seem to allow obstacles to get in their way as the heat was on for the  Aquaphor New York City Triathlon, an Olympic Distance race consisting of a 1500M swim, a 40K bike and a 10K run. Over 3,000 athletes braved the waters of the mighty Hudson River before biking along Manhattan’s West Side highway. Finally, athletes put on their running shoes (or not) and headed out for a run through Central Park.  Front Runners competed and completed the challenging Olympic distance in superstar fashion with solo and relay team accomplishments.  Fired up for their Olympic debuts, we had some amazing performances: Michael Beltran hoped for a time of 3 hours and clocked in at 2:57, Mark Liu finished in 2:45, Eric Konopka completed the course in 2:41:56, and C. Tee finished in 3:32:43.  Congrats to all of our first-timers!Additional sizzling solo accomplishments included: Caroline Buckler (2:57:40.65), Katrina Amaro (3:12:47), and �Leah Serinsky expressed her thanks just to have finished (3:01:32).  Hot stuff, Ladies!    Running hot for a PR, IronWOMYN (bound) Cindy Hearing earned a personal best time in 2:50:45.  She left a little (and then some!) in her tank for the run.  Smart racing, Cindy!  Finally, we had relay representation with the FRNY Happy Fools team of Elke Gasselseder for the swim, Amy Adams on the bike and Yaryna Wynar who burnt rubber on the run.  The happiest fool, Patty Sequeira, managed to cheer for them on the swim, bike and run course! There’s nothing foolish about your amazing accomplishment, Ladies!      We applaud all of our finishers!  And thanks to everyone who volunteered and supported our very hot Front Runner women and men!     From the beginner to the veteran, Front Runners made a splash at the 2nd annual Jersey Pride Triathlon sponsored by the Sandy Hookers TRI club.  This LGBT event embraces the Asbury Park community of musicians, artists, charitable groups and the athletic community.  The course starts with a 300-meter ocean swim followed by a 10-mile fast and flat bike course and end with a flat 3 mile run.  Our team had numerous accomplishments!    With pride, the following group completed their Sprint TRI debuts: Daniel O’Neil (1:10:29.4 - 5th age group), Jeff Caprio (1:13:47 - 5th - age group), Jeff Grossman (1:18:37 - 8th - age group), and Martha Dao (1:50:13.2).  Way to get out there and TRI a new event!  Awesome! This year, Craig Goodwin (1:49:41) has been a model for participation and hard work.  Way to represent, Craig!Our High Overall Place and High Age Group Place Athletes included: Sean Gillick (53:25 earned 3rd place overall, Dave Lin (1:01:12 - 3rd in age group), Victoria Ewing (1:13:04 - 2nd in age group), Alison McKenna (1:14:47 - 3rd in age group), Michael Terry (53:54.1 - 1st - age group), Dan Gallagher (58:13.1 - 1st - age group), Rachel Roegman (1:18:03 - 4th age group), Dave Pitches (1:10:08.2 - 1st age group), Dave Laurence (1:12:04.8 - 3rd age group), Tom Malcolm (1:09:31.6 - 2nd age group), Walter Bridgham (1:14:27.9 - 9th age group), Mike McMahon (1:14:59.7 - 4th age group), Philip Greenwald (1:18:57.0 - 5th age group), Eric Maldonado (1:21:37.7 - 10th age group), George Mayer (1:27:28.6 - 6th age group), Gemma de la Serna (1:30:10.6 - 9th age group), Arturo Barcenas (1:11:03.2 - 7th age group), and saving the best for last, in this case, AJ Stachelek had a PR time (1:17:40 - 6th in his age group!).  Say it with PRIDE! Y’all rock!  Then the last, but certainly not the least important, has to be the teamwork displayed by Rachel Cutler and Andrew Cunningham (his very first TRI!).  This dynamic duo took 1st place as a relay time with Rachel, as the first female swimmer also came in as the first female cyclist.  Right after, Andrew held the lead for them to win the relay division.  Very impressive, Rachel and Andrew!    Let’s SWIM together!Alison McKenna completed the Jack Wright Ocean Mile Swim in Bradley Beach, NJ.  She clocked in at 29 minutes for a fun ocean swim.  No fighting with the water as things went swimmingly for Alison!    Let’s RUN (maybe even raise money for charity) together!    Mark Crennan completed the Safaricom Marathon in 4 hours and 17 minutes!  This marathon has been regarded as one of the toughest marathons in the world.  However, Mark Crennan completed this 6000 feet elevation journey in the African bush, which also supports education, community development, health and wildlife conservation projects across Kenya.  Mark tested his limits by running wild and for the wild, too!   In the first annual "4 on the 4th," a 4-mile race in Manchester, Vermont, Les James, Diane Lowy, and Dave Menendez ran and raised money for the Special Olympics. Within the 100 person field, all three front runners placed in their respective age groups.  Diane took 1st in her age group.  Les earned 2nd and Dave secured 3rd in his age group.  You certainly started the holiday off with a bang and for such a worthy cause, too!    It’s been called a magical race.   The Boilermaker 15K in Utica, New York, also has been named by the Analytical Distance Runner as the most competitive 15K road race in the world.  With over 17,000 runners, the course boasts panoramic views, challenging hills, the MOST water stops, the best entertainment, overall fun, and the best after race party (with proceeds to various charitable organizations)!  Our Front Runner community was well-represented with Gordon Ruckdeschel in 1:19:49 who had family and friends cheering the runners on from start to finish.  Chris Stoia, for his comeback race, had an age grade percentage at 74.6 with a solid time in 1:02:08.  Welcome back, Chris!  And speedster, Thomas Hammer who continues to demonstrate the art and discipline of smart racing, earned 43rd place overall in a field of over 14,000 runners at 13th in his age group with a sizzling time of 51:27 at 79.9 AG%.  Our FRNY Men heated up the course for this challenging 15K event.  That’s not magic!  It’s hard work and  smart racing, guys!  Let’s HAVE FUN together!Jeff Schrager competed in the Fun in the Sun Half Marathon in Southern California.  It may be billed as a very low-key fun course; however, Jeff’s time of 1:45:21 earned 8th place overall and 1st in his age group on a cement path for the 13.1 miles.  On the surface, it seems like you found your place in the sun this weekend.  Congrats also on some really hard work! Tuesday night, four Front Runners participated in a variety of events at the NYRR Tuesday Night Speed series at Icahn Stadium, including the 800m and the mile. For the final event, a distance medley relay, Kelsey Louie, Marty McElhiney, and Allen Durgin found a fourth runner to make a team, and Megan Coryat joined some CPTC �ladies to complete their team. Fun was had all around! Let’s get RACE READY together! Let’s get race ready for the CPC Run for Central Park 4 Mile points race on Saturday!       Gram Submission Guidelines   To submit a piece for the race report, such as a personal record (PR), first time at a distance, or other achievement, complete this form for the Race Captains.

Special Brooklyn Fun Run in Williamsburg: 7/24 The Brooklyn Fun Run is mixing things up by taking a field trip to North Brooklyn on July 24. The FRNY Brooklyn crew will meet up that evening at 7 PM at Macri Park Triangle in Williamsburg for a 4-mile run that will include a trip across the Williamsburg Bridge and back. After the run, the group will go out to dinner at El Moderno on Metropolitan Ave. If you wish to drop your bag, e-mail Benjamin Jooste or text him at 727-366-2039. This will take the place of the Tuesday run in Prospect Park for that week.

Please arrive in time to leave promptly at your group’s starting time. Here is a map of the run: Fly Route in 3D and View Elevation   For questions or to RSVP email Jonathan. Your weekly RSVP helps us make sure we have enough supplies on hand. Training Tip Following a plan (especially for marathoners) is a great idea.  However, do not be a slave to it.  If you’re having an off-day, or the weather doesn’t allow you to run, or you’re just not able to get your run in, do not try to cram your training in. Be flexible and adjust your training schedule. Your training will still be effective. Be sensible!    Marathon Charity Partner In order to serve the community and provide our members with opportunities to run in the ING New York City Marathon, we are looking at teaming up with a Charity Partner for the 2012 race.  Qualified partners are 501(c)(3) organizations with guaranteed entries for the marathon available to Front Runners. Ideally, Charity Partners are also able to cross-promote FRNY and provide the club with additional benefits (such as training opportunities, volunteers, or meeting locations).  We encourage all interested charitable organizations to submit a proposal to the board by Friday, July 27 at 5 PM.  Please contact Dave Lin with any questions.   Bageling Big thanks to our bagelers for the next couple weeks!   July 21    Bageler 1: Gordon RuckdeschelBageler 2: Karin LundellBoard Member: Gemma Sanz de la Serna July 28    Bageler 1: Craig GoodwinBageler 2: John WhooleyBoard Member: Megan Coryat   August 4   Meet the Membership Picnic FRNY Multisport  Ironman NYC FRNY Water Station: 8/11/12 Save the date and sign up!  NYC’s first-ever Ironman triathlon will take place on Saturday, August 11.  FRNY will be operating the mile 17 water station on the run course (on the UWS, near the GW Bridge).    Please sign up to man the water station for either or both shifts here. Password is frontrunners.   See the calendar at frny.org for details on our regular swimming and cycling workouts.

With a 5:47 pace and a 4-mile debut at the distance, he came in 3rd! Coming in with a tie in 4th and 5th place were Luke Lombardo and Mike Terry at 23:43 (5:56 pace).  Having just discovered FRNY in April, Luke has now run all four of the points races since the Scotland Run. For the first time, Luke broke the six minute mile barrier and scored for the FRNY Men’s Team!  Awesome job, Luke! � With all of his amazing multisporting, you might not have realized that Mike Terry has also had an incredible year of running.  Mike has run three points races, getting AG percentages well into the 70s for all three of them.  Mike is just six weeks away from Ironman Louisville, and we can be sure he’s gonna blow that race out of the water.  Awesome job, Mike!  The combined times of our five top men was 1:53:51, giving us 9th Place in the "A" Division. Our Masters/Vets and Supervets also did a great job today!  The team of Steve Vizena, Patrick Guilfoyle and Richard White all double-scored their way to 9th place in the 40+ competition and 3rd Place in the 50+ race! Once again, Steve led the team to the podium, with a 24:26 (6:07 pace), earning him 3rd in his age group and the highest AG% of the team-82.9%.  Patrick’s time of 24:47 earned him 6th in his age group and this is his highest AG% of his six races this year: 79.67%. And then there’s Richard.  Richard came in 6th place overall in the Sunset & Suds 5K just two days prior (beating every other Front Runner except for Kelsey).  Richard  has run almost 20 NYRR 4-milers over the past 17 years.  Richard ran a 25:23 (6:21 pace), setting another new PR that is over a minute faster than his time when he was 37 years old, in 1998.  This is just really incredible.  Congratulations, Richard!And finally, our Men’s Supervets team had a great day as well, coming in 5th place citywide.  Dave Pitches led the way in 28:17 (7:05 pace), earning him 2nd in his age group and a 78.22% AG.  Right behind Dave was Mark Mascolini, who gave us an impressive 30:15 to get 19th in his age group.  Mark has scored for all three of the points races he’s run this year.  And rounding out the top three was Scott Emmons, in 32:49 (7th age), getting his fastest 4-miler of the past year.  Great job, all!And then, there are our fabulous women!  In the open women "B" division, we are currently in 7th place!!  Overall, our 40+ women are 7th place, 50+ women are 20th place, and our 60+ women are 11th place.  This has been a wonderful season thus far, and we can’t wait to see more fast and smart racing in the next few points races!Leading the way for our women and getting stronger with each race is Rachel Roegman in 30:00!  In second place for our women, Michele Mazzara showed us another strong performance scoring in the top 5 for our women in all 9 points races!  She crossed the finish line in a blazing 31:18.  Also coming in at a super speedy 31:18 was Megan McDavid.  Great racing, Michele and Megan!!  In fourth place was Elke Gasselseder in 32:06.  Megan and Elke have been running really consistent races with strong finishes!  Last but not least is Bernie Janelle who triple scored for the team with her impressive time of 32:22.  She was 5th for the open women’s team, second for the 40+ women, and first for 50+ women.  Solid performances for a 17th place finish citywide in the open women’s division.Equally impressive was the women’s 11th place finish in the 40+ division.  This time, top scorers Michele Mazzara and Bernie Janelle were joined by our very own Karin Lundell.  Karin completed the race with a time of 34:10.Also proving that age shows no boundaries was our 50+ women’s team.  This trio placed the FRNY women 9th place citywide.  Congrats again to Bernie and Karin.  Another solid performance was had by our newcomer of the year, Lourdes Blanco.  Way to cross the line in 43:00!A special thanks goes out to our solid women’s team that comes out and races hard each chance that they get.  Amy Adams, Jill Crouther, Tara Amato, Rachel Cutler, Alison Casillo, Mariela Lombard, Martha Dao, Lenore Beaky, Yarnya Wynar, Blossom Coryat, Katrina Amaro, and Lourdes Blanco really show us what teamwork is all about.  Thank you so much for your awesome participation, representation, and support!Personal records on both the men’s and women’s sides were a plenty!  AJ Stachelek (33:52), Florence Hogan (38:54), Giordano Fusco (27:04), Elliot Fishman (31:52), Jeany Heller (44:04), Sara Ray (34:40), and Gerry Dieffenbach (28:42) all achieved new PRs.  Also, this PR was Sara Ray’s birthday present to herself.  Congratulations also go to Sam LaFata for getting 7th place in his age group (41:43) and Paul Racine on 8th in his age group (32:53).Alongside the Hudson, FRNY competed in the second installation of the Sunset & Suds 5K.  In second overall, our Koach Kelsey Louie showed us what cute and fast truly means by completing the race in 17:53.  Other impressive performances include Richard White placing 6th overall and 1st in his age in 19:47.  Michael Cavaliere was 10th overall and 1st in his age with a time of 21:46.  Ryan Singer placed 17th overall and 3rd in his age with a time of 22:14 while Dave Pitches was not far behind at 20th overall and first in his age with a time of 22:46.  All around, we had some impressive age group performances.  Nice work, AJ Stachelek (5th in age, 28:16), Rachel Cutler (4th in age, 28:16), Katrina Amaro (1st in age, 28:16), Leah Serinsky (5th in age, 28:16), and Sam LaFata (1st in age, 31:49).Great runs at the Sunset & Suds 5K were also had by Alison Kliegman who ran with her dog (33:30) and Karl Rutter (36:55).  Great job folks!  Let the sunshine in!We are absolutely thrilled to announce that our very own Sean Gillick won the New Jersey/New York City Hudson River Swim this Saturday! Sean completed 2.4 miles in the Hudson in 40:17 while Tim Guscott completed the river swim in 46:18.  Preparing for the Ironman U.S. Championships was Cindy Hearing in a stunning 50:55.  All we can say is Wow!If things were not exciting enough on the west side of Manhattan, FRNY members, Caroline Buckler and Tim Guscott, completed the Brooklyn Bridge Swim in the East River.  This proves that we have some of the best swimmers �on both the east and the west of this island.  Caroline completed the 1k swim in 30:12 while Tim finished in 25:05.  Looks like all the racing this weekend has gone swimmingly!If the rivers did not provide enough water to cool off from  the heat, the ocean was Dan Ferguson’s ally as he raced in the Coney Island Aquathlon this past weekend.  The olympic distance aquathlon comprised of a one-mile swim and six-mile run.  Dan completed the distance in 1:08:30 to finish 3rd overall!!! Congrats, Dan!Then, over in Colorado, we had our ultramarathon contingent.  Three Front Runners finished the Silver Rush 50 Run, a 50-mile trail race through Leadville, CO. The course takes place in the Rocky Mountains and is unique for its extreme territory that starts at 10,200 feet above sea level and reaches 12,000+ feet on four separate oxygen-depriving occasions.Jonathan Warner was undeterred by the lack of oxygen at high altitude and posted a new 50-mile PR of 8:08, placing him 12th overall out of 477 runners and 3rd in his age group. Flying in from France for the week, Steven Waldon crossed the line in 9:31 and Colorado-native Daniel Guralnick ran a new PR of 10:50.Across the seas in Stockholm, running machine, Inger-Johanne Berger, raced the Jubileums Marathon Stockholm. The race distance was a 40k just like in 1912, and Inger-Johanne completed the race in a fantastic time of 5:50:02.  Great job, and you truly are an inspiration!  Next up on the FRNY calendar is the NYRR Team Championships on Saturday, August 4. This teams-only race is FRNY’s big chance to shine! The top 10 men and women in the open division get scored. It’s only 15 bucks, and FRNY will be holding our Annual Picnic right afterwards in Central Park.  Don’t miss it!  Sign up here.  And for now, FRNY, let’s stay hot, hot, hot!

FRNY will be operating the mile 17 water station on the run course (on the UWS, near the GW Bridge). The reward for fulfilling a complete shift is guaranteed registration for next year’s NYC IM.     Please sign up to volunteer at the water station for either or both shifts here. Password is  frontrunners. FRNY Meet the Membership Picnic: 8/4/12 In lieu of our regular Saturday fun run, come race & cheer at the Team Championship Points Races and then celebrate with your teammates (and meet new ones) at FRNY’s Meet the Membership Potluck Picnic! Immediately following the women’s race, we will migrate to the East Meadow (near East 102nd Street) to celebrate. Please bring a potluck item based on your last name: A-F Drinks, G-K Salads/Appetizers, L-P Main, Q-T Dessert, U-Z Snacks. You will be able to drop off your contribution before the race so, we are looking for a few volunteers. If  you able to help watch the FRNY picnic and bag drop area before and during the races, please email Sandi Roegman. Long Runs: 7/29/12 For those of you who weren’t able to get in to the NYRR Training Run on Saturday, Jonathan has agreed to host a run out of his apartment on Sunday. This week’s run will cover 16 miles and begin at Jonathan’s apartment at 511 West 169th St, #31. We will be again dividing into two groups, with those running comfortably below 10 minute pace leaving at 9 AM, and those right around or over 10 minute pace leaving at 8:30 AM. Please arrive in time to leave promptly at your group’s starting time. Here is a map of the run.  As we know that many of you are planning to run the NYRR event on Saturday, it is especially important that RSVP with Jonathan. Your weekly RSVP helps us make sure we have enough supplies on hand. Training Tip There are many benefits to negative splitting in a race. You will reach your lactate threshold later in the race allowing for more energy and speed in the last miles. Your muscles increase in warmth and resiliency providing more strength when it counts.  And your faster pace at the end of the race will provide psychological advantages. You will feel more confident because you’re passing other runners and your pace will feel stronger. So, in order to run negative splits, you need to train for them. This simply means increasing your pace towards the second half of the workout, and this can be done in any workout. We will be focusing on this at the Tuesday/Thursday evening workouts.     Marathon Charity Partner In order to serve the community and provide our members with opportunities to run in the ING New York City Marathon, we are looking at teaming up with a Charity Partner for the 2012 race.  Qualified partners are 501(c)(3) organizations with guaranteed entries for the marathon available to Front Runners. Ideally, Charity Partners are also able to cross-promote FRNY and provide the club with additional benefits (such as training opportunities, volunteers, or meeting locations).  We encourage all interested charitable organizations to submit a proposal to the board by Friday, July 27 at 5 PM.  Please contact Dave Lin with any questions.   Bageling Big thanks to �our bagelers for the next couple weeks!  If you are free in August, please email Megan Coryat.  July 28    Bageler 1: Craig GoodwinBageler 2: John WhooleyBoard Member: Megan Coryat   August 4   Meet the Membership Picnic   August 11    Bageler 1: _____________Bageler 2: _____________Board Member: Matt Kovich    August 18    Bageler 1: _____________Bageler 2: _____________Board Member: Dave Lin  Race Report   This week was no exception for Front Runners achieving great speed, breaking personal records and stretching themselves to try something new.    At Saturday’s Run to Breathe 10K in Central Park, Front Runners brought heat to the cool 65 degree morning.

For short distance runners, this translates to putting in the effort to run your shorter intervals faster.  For marathoners, this means running your regular long runs about 45 seconds to 1:30 slower than your marathon goal pace. And for workouts on the track, certain workouts are designed specifically to help you adapt to specific physiological stressors. Training at the right pace will ensure you get the most of your training.  Long Runs: 7/8/12 Thanks to those of you who braved the heat for last week’s first organized long run! This week’s run will cover 12 miles and be based out of the third floor of Harlem United at 306 Lenox Avenue (125th and Lenox, right off the 2/3 train). We will be again dividing into two groups, with those running comfortably below 10-minute pace leaving at 9 AM, and those right around or over 10-minute pace leaving at 8:30 AM. Please arrive in time to leave promptly at your group’s starting time. The route is mapped here.   A formal meeting to further outline goals and opportunities for the training season as well as to field specific questions will follow the run, beginning at roughly 11 AM. Food and drinks will be provided. Please RSVP for the run, meeting, or both with Jonathan. FRNY Multisport  Jersey Pride Triathlon Discount: Our registration code for a $10 discount for the Jersey Pride Triathlon on July 8 is FRNY-2012.

Join us at Book Court (163 Court Street) in Cobble Hill on July 15 at 4 PM to hear Rob read from his debut novel The Miles, a fictional story about a New York City-based gay running club. The reading will be followed by a Q&A session, where Rob will discuss his writing process, influences, and inspiration for the novel.   Conversation with the author will continue over cocktails around the corner at Last Exit (136 Atlantic Avenue). Take the 4/5 or 2/3 to Borough Hall, N/R to Court Street, or F/G to Bergen Street.    General Membership and Board Meetings All members in good standing are invited to attend all FRNY board meetings. The minutes from the June 4 meeting are available here. The next board meeting is July 11 at the home of Sandi Roegman, 235 West 132nd Street, Apt 1. Check out the preliminary agenda and please suggest agenda items to Secretary Seth Richardson.   The Second Quarter General Membership Meeting will be held at Rutgers after the fun run (about 11:30 AM) on Saturday, July 14. The club’s financials will be presented, as well as a membership update, and a Q&A will follow. Race Report It is safe to say that summer �is finally here.  With the weather becoming so hot and humid as of late, what ever can a Front Runner do to beat the heat? Just keep swimming of course - and swim they did! Whether in an ocean, a river, a pool, or unfortunately the air itself, many Front Runners were wet and wild this past race weekend!! Cindy Hearing found freedom in the 1.2K Liberty Island Swim, completing her maiden voyage of the 1.2K distance that looped around Lady Liberty in a time of 32:31!  Meanwhile down on the Jersey shore, Dave Lin, Rachel Cutler, Ryan Walsh, Scott Kohanowski, Tom Malcolm, and Victoria Ewing completed the Asbury Park Ocean Mile Swim.  Great job! The very next day, Dave Lin and Rachel Cutler took the plunge again, but this time in Connecticut at the Mighty Moss Half Ironman. Dave Lin completed the course in 5:54 -- that’s over a 40 minute PR! -and Rachel Cutler finished in 6:45, earning her 3rd in her age group!  Hot stuff -literally!   Leah Serinsky and Katrina Amaro also had a whale of a tale on their weekend, as they both competed in the Whaling City Triathlon in New Bedford, MA.  Katrina Amaro hooked a time of 1:27:06 in her unique birthday celebration, while Leah Serinsky netted a time of 1:21:15 in this her first triathlon since college. Ahoy! Kicking it pool side, Craig Goodwin was not found catching rest and relaxation as his R&R, but instead decided to race and repeat.  He not only competed in his very first triathlon in 1:59:00 -- the NYRR Sprint Triathlon -- but he also woke up the next day to compete in the NYRR Queens 10K in a time of 1:26:30, perhaps making him the King of Queens! Joining Craig in the NYRR Queens 10K were 69 of our very own Front Runners.  Of the 58 men, the top five placers for FRNY were Joshua O’Sullivan (39:19 - 5th in AG), Dominic Davis (43:06), Timothy Guscott (43:46 - 8th in AG), Christopher Miller (44:14), and Isao Oba (44:40).  Other high age group placement shout-outs go to Paul Racine (54:12 - 5th in AG) and Sam Lafata (1:11:26 - 9th in AG).  On the honor roll, Matt Pych also earned a PR with his time of 44:41.  Of the 12 women competing, the top five placers for FRNY were Lynn Malie (52:55), Karin Lundell (57:41 6th in AG), Susan Convery (58:08), Emily Shallcross (1:00:38), and Sarah Wheeler (1:04:35).  You are the champions, my friends! A few Front Runners headed down to Coney Island where they thought the Take Your Base 5-Miler at Coney Island would be a hit! Cruising down the boardwalk and then taking it on home were our very own Megan McDavid, Meryl Wimberly, Sara Ray, Devon McSweeny, Lea Reinhold, and Karl Rutter (first time at the 5 mile distance!).  It’s not question that everyone had a great time -definitely a homerun! Last but certainly not least, Richard White burnt rubber on a motor-cross speedway down in Asheville, NC.  In a time of 19:43 at the 5K Run for Shindig on the Green, he earned himself 3rd place overall!  Great job to all of you speedsters, getting wet and wild out there this weekend!
