Sure Cure for the Wintertime Blues??
Freezeroo!! !
by Anne Procopio
Okay ... okay, I know! seems much too EARLY to even THINK about anything winter-related. W e just want
to make the caSe to those of you who:
Have never tried a Freezeroo race- (or maybe even any race at all, as yet!)
The Freezeroo race series, now in its 26th year, is informal by design, and
therfore a fun way to break into road racing.
Hate winters in Rochester-Yep, I used to, too! Then around 4-5 years ago,
I entered my first Freezeroo, and now almost (not quite, but almost ) look forward to the
challenge of completing s k-8 miles with a few dozen other brave runner s knowing
"we're all in this together".
Kevin Lucas and I are taking the baton from last years' series coordinators, Laurie Smith and
Michelle Costello. It will consist of 6 races, hosted by your local running groups and outlined
below, with registration form and more info to come in the November-December issue.
Run one or run 'em all!
To be eligible for the Series Awards at the end, you have to register as a Series Runner by the
beginning ofthe s rd Freezeroo.
**All races take place Saturdays and all start at \0:00 a.m.**

14th Annual Race with G.-ace 10K
The Race with Grace 10k is a USA Track & Field certified road race that was established in 1991. Held
on Thanksgiving morning at 9:00 AM, the race begins approximately 0.4 miles south of the church property on North Greece Road. Following a flat, fa st course that encompasses Latta, Manitou and Mill Roads, the
route finishes in the north parking lot of the church, adjacent to the main auditOlium. The entry fee includes a
sweatshirt (for the first 200 paid applicants) or a long-sleeved t-shirt, plenty of food and refreshments,
complete computerized race results available online at www.leonetiming.com. and, if you are in the right place
at the right time, a finishing photo. Awards are given to the top male and female fini shers in the Open (under
40), Masters (40+), Veterans (50+), Seniors (60+), as well as the top ten percent in each of twenty-nine age
groups. The race attracted more than 1,000 participants last year.
Your sponsorship of this community event will aid in the fight against Huntington's Disease. Huntington's Disease (HO) is an inherited, neurodegenerative brain disease that results in loss of botb mental and
physical control, leading to death. People with Huntington's Disease lose the ability to think, speak and walk.
There are 25,000 people living with Huntington's Disease in the United States and 150,000 living at-risk. We
are the first generation of Huntington's families truly standing on the threshold of finding the cause, effective
treatment and cure for Huntington's Disease. The Huntington's Disease Society of America is investing over $3
million in research this year to find the cure for HD, and over $3 million for patient and family services programs.

The Eclectic Runner
by Tom Perry
Each month in this space t share something about running and racing. The
content varies widely from month to month , hence the title.
Continue Running When Injured?
At a recent dinner celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the Oven Door Runners,
I was asked whether one should continue running through an injury. Five minutes of discussion later, it occurred to me
that this would be a good topic for the column .
Anyon e who runs competitively will be injured eventually. While recovering from most of the common running injuries,
you should be able to maintain some level of activity. My approach, based on 30 years of experience with overuse injuries, is based on the answers to two questions:
How did the injUloy occur?
1.
Was the injury onset sudden and traumatic, e.g. , you stepped in a hole and sprained your ankle or you were
sprinting and strained a muscle? If yes, take some time off. Find a cross training activity you can do without
doing further damage to the injured area. Be patient and let the injury heal before resuming running .
2.
Is the injury just some very sore muscles from overdoing it in a hard race or workout, e.g. , your quads are
trashed from a hilly marathon? If yes, take a couple days off to let the all the little muscles tears heal. If you can
walk or cycle with minimal complaint from the sore muscles, the light activity will help the healing process. After
2-3 days, try a short and easy run. If you are relatively pain free, resume normal training.
3.
Was the onset of the injury gradual and recently got bad enough to get your attention? If yes , you should be
able to continue some level of training while the injury heals. Of course, this assumes you do something to
eliminate the cause of the injury. See your favorite coach, podiatrist, orthopedist, massage therapist, physical
therapist or other guru if you can't figure out what is causing the injury. Plan on being patient. .. overuse injuries
take a long time to occur and take a long time to heal.
Is this an injury you have had before? If yes, then you know a lot about what to expect. If you kept one, review your
training diary from that time . Avoid repeating the things that seemed to set back your recovery.
How does the injury respond to activity?
1. Do you have to change your running style or gait to be able to run at all? If yes, proceed with extreme caution.
You are at risk of causing other injuries . Find some other activity to maintain your aerobic conditioning while the
injury heals.
2. Assuming you can run without altering your gait, how does the injury respond to warm ing up? If the pain gets
worse with a mile or two of easy running , stop. Do some other activity until the injury heals a bit more.
3. Assuming the pain stays the same or goes away with a mile or two of warm-up, how does the injury respond to
an easy run? If the injury is noticeably worse (more pain, stiffness, inflammation , swelling, etc.) after the run ,
give it another day or two off before trying again.
4.
If the injury is not too bad after an easy run and feels about the same the next day, proceed with caution. Try a
longer easy run . If the injury is worse after a run, consider cutting back the distance or intensity a bit. If the injury is noticeably worse the next day, consider taking the day off. The goal is find a balance where you can train
and still heal.
Note: Since most injuries, especially overuse injuries, can take weeks to heal completely, it will help to keep a written
record of both your activity and any pain/discomfort you experience. It may take you and your healing arts guru several
tries to fix whatever is causing the injury. Having some data to look at is better than trying to rely on your unreliable
memory of how much it hurt two weeks ago.

The Olympic Marathon and Specificity
Did you get to see the women's marathon? All the U.S. commentators remarked on how Deena Kastor ran a very smart
race on a brutally hot day, going from 26th placll at 5K to the Bronze medal at the fini sh. Less widely reported was how
smart she was in training for that specific marathon . Her training regularly included long run s in the heat. She even put
on extra clothes to simulate the heat stress of Ath ens. The routes she ran were selected to match the terrain she would
th
experience running from Marathon to Athens. From an August 26 interview in Runners World Online:
"I had focused very hard on hills in my training ... we particularly worked on sharp uphills at the end of hard 20milers. And then we 'd make sure I have to do a couple more miles of downhills at the end when I was already
really tired- just like the Athens course. n
Ordinarily one would not include a long downhill at the end of a long run . But, at Athens, being able to fl y down the hill
on tired legs made all the difference. No one was faster than Kastor over the second half of the race.
Want to do your best at some future run ? Make sure at least some of your training is on similar terrain and under similar
conditions. If the race route is flat as Kansas (recently proven scientifically to be "flaller than a pancake"), then put in
mega-miles on the canal trail. If the race is hilly trails, get off the road s and onto trails that match the race as close as
possible. W ant to do well at the Mendon Ponds Trail Races in November? Now is the time to go train on the race loop;
you can't get anymore specific than that.
Ultra Series Update
The Canandaigua Lake 50, the third race in the W estern New York Ultra Series, was completed on September 18th Results of the 50-mile road race are at www.canandaiguaultra.org . The series standings after three events are posted at
www.wny-ultra.org .
The series returns to the trails on November 6th with the Mendon Ponds 50K Trail Race. With the best 3 of 4 races scoring, the series championships are still up for grabs.
Gear Tip of the Month
The Garrnin Forerunner (and any other GPS device) will give best accuracy when it has the clearest possible view of the
sky. As I've previously reported, the Garmin is more accurate when worn on the arm than on the wri st. But, even on the
arm, your body blocks a significant porti on of the sky and thereby, can block the very weak radio signals from a GPS
satellite. For best accuracy (and maximum geek effect), attach the Forerunner to your hat or a set of headphones .
Since you can't see the display, it helps to set the Distance Alert on the Forerunner. I set mine to beep every mile and
use my heart rate monitor watch to keep track of the run time, capture any split tim es, etc.
I've posted tracks of the same run captured with the Garrnin worn on the wrist, arm and head so you can see the difference it makes for yourself. Those tracks and suggestions on how to mount the Forerunn er to a hat or headphones are
at: www.wny-ultra.org/garmin-news.htm.

GREECE POLICE ATHLETIC
LEAGUE 5K AND 1 MILE
RACES
August 28, 2004
Last year was our first year and we had
77 runn ers. This year we had 261 runners
entered in the 5K and another 51 in the
Mile. Participants included cross country
teams from Brockport, Greece and Irondequoit with positive feedback from both
coaches and students .
Next year we hope to grow even more
with the addition of more age-group winners and chip timing . We really hope the
Mile race "takes off", because that was
actually very fun to watch .
Mile Run winners were Gary Griffin at
4:21(smoking fast) and Ashly Lowery at
6:07. The 5K winners were Andy Corman
with a new course record at 16:48 and
Canadian Adela Flista at 19:45.

Red Dress Run
7 August 2004
Niagara on the Lake, Ontario
One of the FUN things about running is participating in
a variety of races. This particular event appealed to me
because it took place in one of my favorite towns and
offered an opportunity to see men running in red
dresses. As I suspected, the sight
was quite amusing!
The race was a 5K
run on a combination of quaint
neighhorhood
streets and a scenic
park path. The atmosphere was party, party party! Awards were given to Best Legs
Male and Female, and Best Dress Male and Female besides ·the usual overall and
age categories. The gentleman pictured here was a winner! As were the classy
dames above.
Afterwards, the St. Catharines Roadrunners Club provided pizza and beverages. I
ate my fill and then enjoyed a stroll around this lovely tourist town and visited some
of the local wineries . It was a great way to spend a summer day and notch another
race!

Triathlon has seen an incredible boom in the past 4
years . Some say its due to the initial viewing of it during
the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. Locally, Triathlon has
been booming as well. In the Rochester area alone we
are now up to 8 triathlons and 4 duathlons. Six of these
events are put on by YellowJacket Racing, a local race
directing company, whose founder David Boutillier
(Boots) wanted to bring some of his race experiences
from across the globe back here to his backyard.

Sunday, August 22nd, brought such an event called the
Sodus Point Triathlon. This Sprint Distance Tri was
a .45 mile Lake Ontario Swim followed by a 13 mile
bike around Sodus then a 5K run in the quaint village of
Sodus Point. Indeed a quaint village it was, where the
transition area that houses the participants bike/swim
and nun gear during the event sat right between Sodus
Bay and Lake Ontario.

the water settles down in the AM . In the meantime, in

The alarm sounds at 5AM as we roll out, put a cap on
our disheveled heads and brush our teeth ready to start
race day prep. At least we bnush our teeth . II's just as
dark as when we went to bed , but you can see the sun
starting to rise. The winds have calmed and the water
has too. It'll be a regular Tn after all.

Boots heads out to set the course while the rest of the
crew hang back setting the area awaiting the arrival of
athletes. At six fifteen the racers begin to arrive. (Note
that the race goes off at 8:30AM) . Athletes head to
packet pickup, sign waivers, get their chips then start
setting up house in the transition area where all their
goods are stored. I often wonder what the price tag
would be for all the equipment in transition .
The morning is brisk before the start, but athletes rnill
around sharing tactics on how to proceed with their
race. Shall I wear socks or not? Wetsuit or no Wetsuit?
Electrolyte Drink or water? Sun Glasses or not? Which
shoes, which wheels ... ? These concerns are not unusual for tri-athletes.
Start time is nearing and the sun is shining. It is an
absolutely stunning day in Sodus Point. The town has
come out to help, cheer and spectate. This event is to
help the Sodus Point Neighborhood Association, so
many have come out to participate in some way.
Teddy and Amanda
When Boots and I were seeking locales for future Tri 's,
we had the opportunity to meet with Jo Sullivan, the
wife of Sodus Point's mayor. Jo headed up the
Neighborhood Association and was quite excited to
bring a triathlon to the town . She offered us wonderful
home-baked cookies on a bitter winter night in her
home where we discussed the plans for this surnmer
event. Sadly, Jo passed away after a battle with cancer
8 weeks prior to the triathlon. With penmission from
Mayor Sullivan, we dedicated the race in memory of Jo
since she was instrumental in bringing it to Sodus
Point.

This race was planned in an effort to raise funds for Sara

The idea to organize this race was that of Hilton High School
junior, Amanda Griggs. With the collaboration and expertise
of Steve Fowler, director of Hilton-Panna Recreation, and
Tom Ganley, a local running enthusiast, the idea became a
reality. It was a wonderful cause for this community to rally
As the race began in the 68 degree water, volunteers
manned their posts and spectators cheered when
swimmers emerged led by Carl Johnston. Then one by
one athletes exited transition to start their bike rides. It
turned out to be an optimal day as temperatures rose
into the 80 's. Boats drifted by as athletes returned to
start the run . The 5K course wound around the popular
Sodus Pt. lighthouse twice providing a picturesque
view.

There were 71 runners and walkers ranging in age from 7 to
