President’s message…

Greetings all! Although I was unable to attend the Annual Meeting, I was happy to learn all went well in my absence. We have a new slate of officers (more on that in these pages) and hopefully, a renewed commitment to make this the best year yet! Although it would be hard to top the great run (pun intended) lead by immediate past President Bob Hart, I have a great team to help me meet the goals and objectives of our group – and to have fun doing it!! There are brainstorming sessions going on all the time, looking for ways to be more involved in our community, bringing the group even closer together and getting more of our members involved. Any ideas from the membership will be welcome!

As most of you know, I couldn’t make the meeting due to the death of my mother-in-law, Lori’s mother, Vergie Anderson. My family was touched by the goodwill of our group – four ARRC members even made the trip to the funeral home in Louisville – and your thoughts and prayers mean more than you know. At the same time, our club was hit with the news that our former treasurer, Peggy Hart, was diagnosed with a brain tumor and had to have immediate surgery! Thankfully, Peggy is home now and doing well and I know both she and Bob are so appreciative of the support many members have shown during their trying time. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

These recent life-altering events have me reflecting on how lucky we are to belong to a group whose members have no problem going above and beyond the most basic definition of friendship. We think nothing of hitting the road, buying the groceries, running errands, keeping in touch, listening, providing the benefit of our experience, in short, supporting our fellow runners in any way we can. I feel fortunate to be part of such a group and honored you’ve chosen me to lead you during the next year. And believe me, your support will be welcome as I take on this challenge.

Happy trails,

Tommy G

Be on the lookout for the next PACER, brought to you Dr. Ron Harmening, newly elected editor. Dr. Ron has been experimenting with a new look (for the PACER) and format. Club members will be in for a fresh new treat!

In the past year the club has saved well over $1,200.00 by going online. This is money that can be well spent on other areas of the club that has long lasting rewards. There are still some members who do not have internet- access, therefore, we will continue to print the PACER for those members. During the months when the club meets weekly the PACER will be available for pick up at the sign in area. If you are a member who does not always participate in the weekly events then the PACER will be mailed to you. Please help keep our costs down by listing your e-mail address on your membership form or by picking up your issue of the PACER.

Share the Pain

Most of you are aware of the ARRC board decision to strongly encourage an early sign up for points for the 2004 race season. In accordance, the decision is to only allow the discounted points fee of $15 (for Thursday nights) to be available to adult members up until May 1, 2004. After that, to join the Thursday points program, the fee will be $40, or $2 per race. We hope that most members will opt for the $15 and the early sign up. To enjoy the lower fee, just renew your membership (single or family) and also pay your fees - make sure we receive this before May 1, 2004. A membership form is now available on the club web site.

The purpose of the new policy is to reduce the bookkeeping and points scoring work load (and confusion) on the race director and race team. It is always a pain to bring members along after the season starts and insure accuracy of all the information we need to keep track of. So, if anyone misses the May 1 deadline they will also share in the pain by paying the higher fee and having to remember to pay each week to receive their points.

There will be no IOU's from week to week. Remember, no points fee paid =no points.

This policy is with respect to the Thursday points races, not specifically the Road Series. You are also encouraged to sign up early for the road series as well. Road Series points accumulation starts the next race after we receive the series fee (currently $10). This is in addition to your membership fee. Again, there is quite a bookkeeping effort required here as well.

This policy will be communicated to the ARRC membership many times and in many forms between now and May 1. You can help in two ways. (1) Pay your fees early. (2) Make sure all of your ARRC friends are aware of the new policy and get their dues and fees paid early as well. Please direct your questions to any board member - thanks.

2004 Sixth Annual ARRC Road Race Series

The Series: Fifteen races starting in April and finishing in December. Distances range from 5K to 15K and one Mini marathon. All races are on roads or paved paths except for Run the Mounds and the Red Tail, which are trail runs.

The Requirements: In order to receive points in the Road Series, you must be a member of the Anderson Road Runners Club and a member of the Road Series. You must designate whether you will be a Walker or Runner for the entire race season. Age group for the season will be determined by the age of the participant on 5/1/2004. For walkers, judged race walking conventions apply of continuous contact with the ground and straight locked knee in stride motion. No running allowed in the Walk in Series Races. Participants must complete a minimum of six (6) races and must be an approved volunteer for at least one race in the series. The Road Race Director(s) must receive prior notification of the runners intent to volunteer and will verify their participation with the director of that event.

Entry Fees: $10 to be scored in the series. $15 to be a member of the Anderson Road Runners Club.

Age Groups:

Runners: Men and Women 11 & under, 12-14, 15–18, 19-24, 25-29, 30-34,

35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70+, & Heavyweight 190+ lbs

(Men Only).

Walkers: Top three Female and Male overall. Looking to expand walkers to ten year age groups if enough participation to justify. Will update as season progresses.

Age group will be determined by the participant’s age as of 5/1/2004 that year. It is the responsibility of the participant to verify they are in correct age group and series designation.

Points System: Points will be awarded as follows: 1st Place-50pts, 2^nd Place-45pts, 3^rd Place-40pts. Other age group finishers will be awarded points starting at 35 and decreasing by one point per participant (Walker or Runner). The point standings will be posted to this site when available and updated spreadsheets at races depending upon availability of previous race results.

Bonus Points: 50 Points will be awarded to all participants in the Series for completing the Indianapolis Mini-Marathon 13.1-mile race. Participants who volunteer to assist in any one of the road race series events will earn 50 points; but the race does not count toward the six race minimum. Participants may also earn 50 points for volunteering in a second race of the road race series. You may volunteer as often as you wish; but you will only earn a maximum of 100 points through volunteering. Race Directors, of a race in the series, participating in the Road Series will earn a race counting towards the six race minimum and 50 points for that race in the Series they are the Director.

Joining Series in Progress: Runners/ Walkers, who decide to join the ARRC Road Series after the first race in the series has been completed and scored, may do so at any time under the following procedure:

1. Runner/ walker must be a member of the Anderson Road Runners Club.

2. Runner/ walker will be scored on all succeeding races.

3. Races run before joining the Road Series, that are in the Road Series, will be handled by scoring the runner at the next available points in their respective age group for only the one previous Road Series Race prior to joining the Series. Other races completed before joining the Road Series will not count towards the Series points.

4. Runner/ walker’s age group is defined as the age of the participant on 5/1/2004.

Other Stuff: All race dates are accurate as of Feb. 23, 2004. It is the participant’s responsibility to confirm their membership status in the ARRC, the Road Series, and the dates and times of events. Points will only be awarded to members of the ARRC. ARRC assumes no responsibility in the event a race date or time is changed. Points will be based upon results provided by the individual races. Please check the results of any events you enter to insure accuracy and the updated Road Series Points Spreadsheets.

Questions: Questions can be directed to Wally Post 765-649-8674 or Greg Smith 765-778-7087.

Race Directors: Please notify Wally Post 765-649-8674 or Greg Smith 765-778-7087 of any schedule changes. You may also e-mail the Webmaster.

Walk the Walk 3

Greetings to everyone in the frozen tundra of the Hoosier State. Training this winter has been a trial as always. Snow is tough; but ice is traction less. I had a great Huff race after Christmas, finishing in 2:22:06. Walking, I cut 22 minutes off my previous year’s Huff time. The Siberian Express was the best mind & mud boggling race I had since the Run with the Foxes at Morgan-Monroe. All of these races are character builders to me. You do the best you can and survive with tall tales of unbelievable difficulties ( slipping, falling, and picking each other up). Winter is kind of a healing time for me. You cannot really go all that fast, with the influence of the weather conditions and amounts of clothing required. I log the miles out at the Mounds and try not to get trampled by deer again. There is a nice group of four and another group of five that hang out by the great Mound. Deer win all ties. Do not come between Fawns and their Mamma.

I would like to thank the Indiana Race Walkers for allowing several of us to attend their 2004 Judges Clinic for race walking. Max Walker put on a very informative presentation on judging. I gained a lot of knowledge from the clinic. In judging walkers, you need to be off to the side and view in a 45-degree window from the side. Fast walkers all look like they are running from in front or from behind. In a competitive walk, no running is allowed and provides for immediate disqualification. Any one judge of the race judging team may disqualify for running. Form is judged in a three-step progression. If you continue the illegal form for three steps it is judged illegal. Bent knee and lifting require calls by three judges to disqualify. The leg must be straight at contact of the heel of the lead foot through vertical with the hip. The judge should view the back of the leg for the straight convention. Bent knee provides an unfair advantage over straight leg. Lifting is not keeping continuous contact with a portion of one foot with the ground. This may be identified with head bobbing up and down. Max showed a tape of International racers in the 6:30 to 7:00 minute mile pace with correct and incorrect form pointed out in detail. It was a very informative session.

I am currently getting ready for the Polar Bear walk Saturday. I am also trying to get ready for the Sam Costa on Mar. 21^st. Costa is always a reality check for training. The first 2004 Road Series race is the Noblesville Kiwanis 15K on April 24^th. Let’s get more walkers out this year and runners. Please watch out during the icy training. Speed will come with better weather and a good foundation of miles. Remember that deer always have the right of way and so do owls.

Greg

Training runs/walks

While the Anderson Road Runners Club does not have “official” training sites with runs/walks, one can usually find a partner at Shadyside Park or Mounds State Park on Mondays and Tuesdays evenings between 4:30 pm and 5:30 p.m. and on Saturdays anywhere from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. A “coffee run” is held on Thursday evenings at 4:15 p.m. from the Activities Center at Shadyside Recreation Area. Bring a thermos of your favorite beverage to enjoy after a 2 lap run/walk around the path. Pace and distance vary between individuals and you will find most members welcome running/walking partners at any of the above times.

Happy Birthday…

The following member are celebrating a birthday in either March or April –

Evan Achenbach, Pat Miller, Phil Miller, and Bud Stiffler

Enjoy “Your Day!”

“I Team” update…

Not the team of choice, but the team we keep before us and remember in our prayers. This “team” is our Anderson Road Runner Club members who for one reason or another are on the injured or recovering from injury or illness. It is a lonely road out there when you are injured, ill or recovering. During the winter months when we don’t often see our members are a regular basis, those who can’t run for whatever reason find the road all the more lonely and cold. If you know of someone who is not able to run for whatever reason give an officer/board member a call so they can make our membership aware. Often times and injury will not allow a member to run, but perhaps another member has “been there” before and can share some recovery tips, alternate training methods, know of medical staffs familiar with the injury or will just listen.

On the list currently and hoping to be up and running soon are:

Dave Flack-severe plantar facitis, currently exercising, unable to run

Debbie Harry- stress fracture to bone in foot, at press time bone is healing

Bob Hart- recovering from back surgery and setbacks during recovery

Peggy Hart-recovering from surgery to remove brain tumor, at press time she is home and progressing with help of family and friends,

Jack Stepp-over 16 stitches in knee due to fall on black ice, at press time Jack is back to full steam ahead after only 10 days off running,

Kathy Wehrley- plantar facititis

All Aboard! Join us for a ride on the Siberian Express, or Fun in a Mud Bog……….

January 3^rd dawned damp & misty, but it didn’t stop six intrepid ARRC members from setting off to Danville, Illinois to join the Kennekuk Road Runners “2004 Siberian Express”, a 7.6 mile trail run with an attitude. With Mike Truman at the helm of his RV, Jim Hoffman, Debbie Smith, Tommy Goodson, Greg Smith, Ron Harmening and yours truly embarked on an adventure that ended up differently than any of us could imagine……..

The first sign of trouble hit as we reached Crawfordsville – a shredded belt and an overheating RV brought our adventure to a halt. Quickly evaluating the situation, and our chances at being on the start line on time, Jim, Ron and Tommy took off at a sprint for the car rental establishment spotted in the distance. Securing a 15 passenger van, we transferred our running gear to the van, and off we went with plans to meet up with Mike at Kickapoo State Recreation Area, site of the race.

I won’t tell you how fast we had to drive to get there on time, but we made it to the racecourse with minutes to spare! The course would have been slick in any but the driest conditions, but with all day rain the previous day and a light mist on race day, it was one of the sloppiest racecourses I’ve ever encountered. Fortunately, it was a mild 50 degrees at the start, so conditions were messy, but bearable. Everyone in our group managed to stay (mostly) upright and finished as well as conditions would allow. We discovered four other ARRC members – Perry & Jeremy Knox, Mark Volk and Andy Preishoff were also in attendance. There were 516 total runners & walkers - here is how we did overall:

27^th Jeremy Knox 50:17 6:37 pace

31^st Andy Prieshoff 50:45 6:41 pace

176^th Mark Volk 1:03:36 8:22 pace

177^th Perry Knox 1:03:50 8:24 pace

218^th Tommy Goodson 1:06:56 8:48 pace

228^th Ron Harmening 1:07:23 8:52 pace

238^th Jim Hoffman 1:08:44 9:03 pace

501^st Kathy Wehrley (walker) 1:57:45 15:30 pace

502^nd Greg Smith (walker) 1:57:45 15:30 pace

I frankly don’t know how any of us ran/walked in that stuff, but didn’t we do well?

The post race party was one of the best any of us had ever attended. We finally hooked up with Mike Truman (who missed the race because of further trouble with his motor home) at a downtown establishment called Mike & Wanda Spanky’s for burgers, brats and beer. A d.j. provided tunes for dancing and there were lots of door prizes – Ron won a beer mug full of change by having the closest guess as to how much was in the jar, winning just over 50 bucks! Really nice t-shirts, sweatshirts and dri-fit gear were offered for sale at cost and a local running store offered 20% off gear and shoes brought in for the event. All in all, a well run race, and despite all the mechanical difficulties, Mike got us home safely. Kennekuk Runners’ next event is in March- The Mountain Goat Hill Run!

If you want to join the fun, or just want more information on the Kennekuk Roadrunners club and their events, take a look at their website at www.kennekuk.com.
