Second Wind 2006 Runner Awards
Many Second Wind members gathered in January to celebrate with a banquet and awards ceremony. The
following award-winners gained recognition for a variety of achievements, from setting personal bests to being
unbelievably consistent. This list should by no means be considered a full run-down of their successes.
Male Runner of the Year–Chris Byron
Chris’ accomplishments in 2005 included running the Boston Marathon in 3 hours, 3 seconds;
winning the overall Clydesdale award at the Wild, Wild Wilderness and running the Delavan
Half-Marathon in 1:21:32.
Male Master Runner of the Year–Ivan Fink
Ivan ran 30 races in 2005, and ran every day last year. With this, he has run every day for elevenand-a-half years. Ivan’s personal highlight of the year was finishing first in the 55-59 age category at an 8-kilometer race in Arizona.
Most Improved Male–Eric Smith
Eric scored by completing his first 50- and 100-mile races in 2005. He racked up 41.98 miles at
the Howl at the Moon, and set a new personal record of 1:35:26 for the half-marathon distance.
Female Runner of the Year–Kristy Powell
Kristy sliced nine minutes off her marathon personal record, and was a top 500 finisher at the
Chicago Marathon. She also finished two other marathons, including Boston, and won a halfmarathon in Bloomington. She also spoke at Second Wind Women’s Running Group sessions.
Female Master Runner of the Year–June Linder
June home-schools her four children, and still makes time to run. Her finishes included first in
her age group at the Wild, Wild Wilderness, and second in her age group at a Jingle Bell 5-kilometer. June was also seen finishing some area triathlons, proving that versatility is still within her
grasp.
Most Improved Female–Marla Luckey
Marla just joined the world of ultra-running last year, and logged over 1,500 miles for the year.
She set the female course record at the Riddle Run in 2005 (before doing this again in 2006), finished third overall at the 2005 Kentucky Ultra Trail Sojourn 50-kilometer, and covered 40 miles
at the Howl at the Moon.
110% Effort–Bill Dey & Kelly Bails
Bill and Kelly are both generous contributors to Second Wind. Bill coordinated both the spring
and fall marathon training programs, and volunteered at many road races. Kelly was integral in
creating the Second Wind Women’s Running/Walking Program, and maintains Second Wind’s
impressive web site.

Second Winders Hit the Fat-Ass 50K
By Don Frichtl
It was almost a spring like day
for the Illinois version Fat-Ass
50-Kilometer held at McNabb, a
small town near La Salle and the
Illinois River, on January 8. Bill
Dey, Gregg Rose, and I traveled
there on an early Sunday morning.
This was a free race with plenty
of donated aid. There were selfserve aid stations every two-anda-half miles! The race starts at a
junior high school. The course is
on blacktop and gravel roads. The
runners cover a half-mile out and
back section, and then three fivemile out and backs. It’s easy to
see where you are compared to the
others in the race. Friends from
Wisconsin and Indiana, Christine
Crawford and Ellen Erhardt, joined
us to do the run.
Christine and I went out at a
very fast pace. Christine remarked
at mile eleven that she had never
run eleven miles that fast, not even
in a short race. We worried about
bonking, but kept going. On each
out and back, “Buffalo” yells were
exchanged. That’s always fun!
There’s four larger hills each loop,
for a total of twelve hills. Bill
checked his topography maps at
work, and found they were roughly
ninety feet high. That’s similar to
the hills at the Mountain Goat Hill
Runs, only these weren’t quite that
steep.
Around mile 23, Christine
insisted I go ahead, because she
was slowing just a tad. She had cut
her mileage way back to rest after
Tecumseh, and she was not back
Don Frichtl, Ellen Erhardt, Gregg Rose, Christine Crawford, and Bill Dey
to 100 percent. Only a few yards
separated us at the marathon point.
Our marathon times were faster
than any marathon either of us had
ever run. Now I was really worried
about self-destructing! There were
five miles left! The lead male and
female were both around a halfmile ahead of me at this point. My
goal for the remainder of the race
was to try to hang on to my present
pace. There were runners behind
that usually beat me. If I could hold
them off, that would be great. With
two miles to go, I passed the lead
male runner. He was struggling,
and made no effort to keep up with
me. I could see the leader ahead,
but I could not catch her. Ann Heaslett finished as the overall winner
in 4 hours, 5 minutes. I finished
In Passing
second overall, as the first male, in
4 hours, 8 minutes. Christine was
third in 4 hours, 11 minutes.
The previous day, Bill and
Gregg had run the Siberian Express
in Kennekuk State Park. Gregg decided to stop after 21 miles today.
Bill and Ellen finished the race together in 5 hours, 27 minutes. We
enjoyed hamburgers, fries, and free
beer after the race. You could not
have asked for a nicer January day!

Mountain Mist Mystical for Dey, Cousin Don, Bub
and Curt Chambers
By Bill Dey
Don Frichtl, Bub Norgaar, Curt
Chambers and I drove eight hours
to Huntsville, Alabama, for the
Mountain Mist 50-kilometer on
January 31. Bub had run the race
the last three years. He encouraged
us to join him for what he assured
would be a very challenging race.
He also told us the finishers received high-tech running shirts.
The Mountain Mist is held in
Monte Sano State Park, just east
of Huntsville. The park rises more
than 1,000 feet over the surrounding plains. The park is a lot like a
mesa, and includes a sandstone cap
and steep, rocky sides.
We encountered just-average
food but great company at the
race’s packet pick-up and pre-race
dinner. There, the race director told
us that “you run around Mount
Sano once, and run up and down
it three times…in the process,
there will be parts you can’t run.
Be safe and have fun.” Besides
this informing speech, the director
also introduced some well-known
ultra-runners in our midst. This
group included Dave Horton, who
spoke on his experiences covering more than 2,700 miles in 66
days. Norton averaged more than
31 miles per day, and set a new
record for the Pacific Crest Trail.
This trail stretches between Mexico
and Canada. Horton’s talking style
was subdued and modest, but his
message was inspirational. Also, a
local news personality and fellow

ultra-runner predicted that race day
would see morning temperatures
in the upper 30’s, warming to the
upper 50’s, with rain, by the early
afternoon. Like all weathermen, of
course, this forecaster was wrong.
As we headed back from the
dinner, we saw the lights of Huntsville shining far below us. Monte
Sano is a very large and high piece
of topography, and we realized we
would be in for a long day.
The next morning, we were back
atop the mount enjoying bright and
sunny weather with temperatures in
the 40-degree range. Curt and I, devoid of any concrete pre-race strategy, decided to pace off Bub amidst
the mid-packers, while Don started
off near the front of the pack. The
first-half-mile was on roads and we
were running hard, almost what felt
like 10-kilometer race pace. When
we moved onto the trail, roots and
rocks forced the priority to become
foot placement. Only after about a
minute on the trails, I heard a solid
“thud” behind me. Bub looked over
his shoulder and flatly said, “Curt’s
down.” We pressed onwards.
Some hills presented themselves, and I was still running
harder than I can recall having run
in any of my previous 50-K’s. We
hit a rocky stretch, and I had to
break stride and briefly slow down.
Soon, we were running hard again,
up a hill that I would normally
be running in a race this distance.
Everyone else too, it seemed, was
running up the hills. The basic race
strategy for Mountain Mist was just
secondwindrunningclub.org
starting to crystallize in my mind.
Somewhere around mile five,
Curt, Bub and I hit a very steep
hill, and adopted a run-walk approach. I filled my water bottle at
the first aid station around mile six,
but Curt had two bottles on him
and bypassed the station. During the next section, which turned
rocky, Bub stepped off the trail to
answer a call of nature. That was
the last time I saw him during the
race.
I had absorbed the mantra of
Mountain Mist. “If the trail is
smooth, run hard; if the trail is
marginally smooth and clear, run
smart.” I realized there would also
be sections where you simply can’t
run and would be allowed to regain
your energy.
The trail soon opened up into an
area cleared for power lines, and
offered nice views. The first major
climb occurred at mile nine, and
turned into a series of long, steep
switchbacks. I started speed walking. Somewhere above me, Curt
called out “Buffalo!” I answered
in kind, receiving strange glances
from the runners near me. This was
not an area where buffalo are common.
The hills soon reached a zenith,
and I found myself all alone with
a good view of the nearby trail.
There was no one else in sight.
This is what I love about ultra-running, just me and the trail, in the
zone and moving forward. I soon
caught up with some other runners,
though, and found myself passing
Second Wind
on the up-hills and getting passed
on the down-hills or rough, flat
sections.
The next stretch included a narrow channel between huge, housesized stone blocks and a cave. The
rocky sections also became more
treacherous. The second major
climb, Waterline Hill, actually
turned into a dried-out waterfall
that forced the runners to climb
hand-over-foot. I found a bottleneck at the base of this climb, and
watched as I recovered from my
up-hill run. I considered the possibility of the climber ahead of me
losing his grip and taking both of
us down to the bottom of the cliff.
We both made it through just fine.
about an hour later.
All of us enjoyed the run, and
were very happy to finish. There
were no high-tech shirts as finishing awards, but instead hand-painted plaques. The race was worth the
trip.
I reached mile 25, and stopped
to down some peanut-butter-andjelly quarter sandwiches and some
cold, boiled potatoes. There was
still another steep uphill and a final,
flat section of approximately two
miles to come. I was now alternating between speed-hiking and
jogging the hills. I found the last
stretch fairly level and traversable. I crossed the finish line at six
hours, twenty-six minutes. Later,
I determined I had moved from
203rd place at the first aid station
to 138th place at the end. Don had
already finished, but had rolled his
ankle hard a couple times on the
course. Curt finished several minutes behind me, and Bub rolled in

Upcoming Spring Races...
By Jeff Kelly
Spring is a time of rejuvenation, rebirth and reaffirmation. The season is also a time for runners to assess
their fitness levels after a long winter that was likely filled with lots of slow, steady running and probably some
vigorous, healthy holiday meals. Eggnog and pumpkin pie come to mind, as they do quite often. Anyway, the
spring can also be a good time to enter a race without any clear goal, as only a test. Those usually-abundant
5-kilometer races are nowhere to be found, though, as the area’s spring competitions are comprised of mainly
long-distance ventures. Several C-U hoofers also plan to make the annual trip down to the River to River relay
this year. Have at it! Putting yourself through one of the following tests could open your eyes, and make the rest
of the year’s possibilities seem limitless.
The Kennekuk Road Runner’s 20th Annual Mountain Goat Hill Runs
The Kennekuk group is legendary for putting on great races and festive after-race parties, and this, the second event in the club’s “Grand Slam 2006” series, should be no different. Probably the most grueling of any of
KRR’s races (some would argue the Howl at the Moon tops this one), the Mountain Goat Hill Runs are really
just tough, nasty hills that rise up to meet you time and time again.
Runners have two distances to choose from this year, and walkers can enter the 5-kilometer walk.
WHEN AND WHERE? Saturday, March 18, 2006 at the Kickapoo Recreation Area, just west of Danville.
All three events start at 10:30 a.m.
WHY SHOULD I GO? There will be lots of supporters to cheer you on each time you crest that final hill
(you do this three times in the 15-K). Each 15-K finisher receives a numbered award at the finish. Also, you can
purchase a special 15-K Canvas Raglan long-sleeve shirt and find out just what in the world that means.
WHAT’S A GOOD RACE STRATEGY? Frankly, you’re very likely not going to run a personal best on this
course. The undulations are just too massive, and the downhills, while frequent, aren’t enough to compensate
for the numerous climbs. Try to settle into a steady rhythm, recover on the switchback that occurs in the middle
of each out-and-back, and don’t start really pushing yourself until the second half of the last go-around.
The Lake Sara Dam Run
Somewhat of a hidden treasure, the Lake Sara Dam Run near Effingham has traditionally drawn modest
crowds, decent weather, great volunteers and an after-race feast that borders on obscene. The X-factor for this
race has usually been the wind, which has been known to sweep across the barren cornfields and relentlessly
slam the 8-milers during the first half of the race. There could be hope, this year, though. The race flyer bills the
8-miler as being a revamped course. You’ll have to show up to find out what this means.
WHEN AND WHERE? Saturday, April 1, 2006. Lake Sara, five miles northwest of Effingham, Illinois. Take
Interstate 57 to Exit 160, go north on Route 32-33 to the Lake Sara Road, and follow the prominent, hard-tomiss signs. We’re talking big signs. Nell-Carter big. (Am I dating myself with this reference?) This is probably
about an hour and twenty minute’s drive from Champaign-Urbana.
WHY SHOULD I GO? As previously stated, 5-kilometer races are just rare beasts around here in the spring.
In addition, the 8-miler can serve as a good tool for you to pin down your lactate-threshold pace, one of the best
14 In Passing

indicators of running fitness. Also, there’s a post-race feast that would put any buffet restaurant to shame. Pizza,
submarine sandwiches, chips, pork burgers, drinks, you name it, this race will probably have it. It’s almost as if
the race organizers first planned a huge meal and then added the races as an afterthought. The awards impressive, numerous and handed out “minutes after you finish,” according to the race flyer.
WHAT’S A GOOD RACE STRATEGY? Both courses are basically flat, so there’s no need to worry about
the elevation factor. The afore-mentioned wind usually does rear its head, though, so the 8-milers would play it
smart to hold back until the wind is at their backs and then really let things fly. The 5-kilometer is just an outand-back course, and sound strategy is always to pre-determine your goal pace and try to stick to even splits.
Dropping a minute per mile in a 5-kilometer isn’t pretty, but can be pretty easy to do.
HOW DO I ENTER? Entry forms are available at Body n’ Sole in Savoy. Pre-entries must be received by
March 17.
Buffalo Trace Trail Race
By Bill Dey
The 4th annual Buffalo Trace Trail Race will be held on May 20 this year. The first three
years, 110 to 130 runners finished the race. It was moved from April to May to avoid conflicting with some other local races. The race is run on rolling, wide, mostly grass trails at
Lake-of-the-Woods County Forest Preserve outside of Mahomet, Illinois. The area contains
a portion of a route, or “trace”, used by migrating prairie bison once native to the region.
You can register by mail (an entry form is in the back of this issue). Also, registration and
packet pickup will be available at Body n Sole the Friday before the race or at the Mahomet
High School on race day. Race day parking is also at the high school, there is about a 1/4
mile walk to the start/finish area.
The five mile course is almost completely wide grass trails, even in raining conditions,
there are only a few sections that get muddy. There are also two small stream crossings; one
involves about a 2-3 foot leap and the other about a 5 foot jump or the use of some rocks as
stepping stones. Last year there was standing water in a couple of other areas on the course.
The course is well marked. The trail is wide enough that there are very few places where
you can’t pass other runners. The course has one aide station which is passed twice, once
at 1.5 miles and again at 3 miles. Most of the course is wooded and out of the wind, but the
last mile is in the open and almost straight west. A strong west wind could be a hindrance in
the home stretch.
The post race activities are held outdoors at the start/finish area. Results are calculated
and awards announced promptly. Some light refreshments are usually available at the finish.
Each runner receives a t-shirt, the past shirt designs have been pretty cool, if you like bison.
For an entry fee of $12 with shirt, this race is a great value and a great racing opportunity.

River to River Relay: So Much More than Just a Race
By Pat Mills
If you’ve ever taken part in
the River to River Relay down in
Southern Illinois in the spring, you
can just skip to the next article,
because you already know exactly
what I am going to say. For those
who have not participated on a
River to River Relay team, all I can
say is that you should do everything you can to try to change that.
The Relay is truly a unique experience that goes far beyond race
times, overall finishing place, etc.
So what is it anyway? The River to River Relay, which will take
place this year on Saturday, April
22, is an 80-mile relay race that
starts on the far west side of the
state at Pine Hills (about 15 miles
due southwest of Carbondale) on a
bluff overlooking the Mississippi
River Valley. The course runs east
across the state, over rolling hilly
country roads, through beautiful Shawnee National Forest and
charming little towns like Cobden
and Goreville. It finishes on the
east side of the state at the Ohio
River in Golconda, Illinois.
Runners of all stripes complete
their section, hand off a baton to
the next runner and then rejoin
their teammates in a van that then
drives (with a driver) past the current runner (after much cheering
for that person!) to the next handoff spot to drop off the next runner
and pick up the last runner. After
you finish your section, you’ll get
to rest and relax while your teammates run their sections. You won’t
believe how quickly you’ll have to
16 In Passing
●
March/April 2006
●
get out of the van and run your next
challenging leg. Each of those legs
is indeed challenging in its own
right.
Some legs have nasty hills,
some are dusty, some are unrelenting, rolling and barren, and some
are all of those things. The twomile steep uphill finish of Leg 22
is legendary! This goes on all day,
until the last leg when the team
van pulls into Galconda and all the
team members cross the finish line
together, in jubilation. The announcer welcomes you to the party
that awaits finishing teams.
You will be utterly exhausted,
but delirious with joy. The unique
experience of this race has everything to do with the team aesthetic.
Running and racing can often be
a solitary experience, and when
you’re fighting the hills, heat, mud,
dust and sweat on your challenging
legs of this course, there is certainly that component. When you
rejoin seven other dusty, sweaty,
people in the cramped quarters of
the van, you begin to understand
where the magic of this race comes
from. You’ll laugh, share your
mutual trials, root for others, meet
secondwindrunningclub.org
incredible people, and eventually
join a party. This party is more a
celebration about being healthy,
alive and connected, than it is about
finishing times.
As a four-time River-to-River, I
could wax poetic about it for a long
time. However, the River to River
relay website (http://rrr.olm.net/
index.html) has beaten me to the
punch. As the race director wrote,
the race “can be exhilarating,
exhausting, intimidating, inspiring,
and unforgettable, but adjectives
alone are insufficient.”
Do everything you can to participate in this very special event!
Just be aware that the race fills its
240-team quota almost instantly,
so you have to be on top of getting
that registration in! If you don’t
get a team in, then ask around the
club for information on which
teams might need another runner.
Teams are always looking and,
inevitably, injuries or other unforeseen commitments create openings. After your River to River
experience, be sure and write up
an article for the newsletter to let
everyone know what you experienced! Good running to you all!

Chilly Chili
By Erik
The 2006 version of Chilly
Chili was a go, despite the smaller
than usual turnout. It was decided
earlier in the week that the theme
was “Buffalo Wings. The Buffalo
wings were elaborately constructed
by Don Frichtl. There were quite
a few runners who went wild
with the costumes. Paul Martin of
Bloomington came away with least
dressed, wearing only a Tarzantype loin cloth. The Buffalos kept
their pride and stayed warm to
boot!
It was a very sunny day, and
the weather was a little breezy, but
felt pretty good. We started out at
a blistering pace heading out on
the 4.37 mile loop. Don and Tom
started going out way too fast, so
Brian and I had to reel them in. We
all loved the aid station, about 1/2
through the course. This interesting station had to be sponsored by
the most popular “meat” product,
Spam. We enjoyed Spamarade

darn fun.
We finished in a decent time, not
quite coming in last. The group be-

ended up coming in dead last.
Maybe next year! Afterwards,
we all gathered in Green Gables
for some hot Chili and some frosty
beverages. The exchange of Buffalo tales commenced.

Riddle Run 7: A pretty basic race report for a pretty basic race
By Randy Norris
This was a no-frills, self-supported run of 28.35 miles, run on the prairie near Mahomet, Illinois. 7 times
around the 4.05 mile course.
One of the highlights of the day was the National Anthem, as performed by Pork and the Havana Ducks
and played over the airwaves especially for the race by ‘Lonesome Larry’, the Saturday morning show host on
WWHP, Farmer City. (Playing the best in blues, bluegrass, alternative and traditional country, rock, gospel and
American Roots music.) With us all gathered around Race Director Jeff Riddle’s portable radio, Lonesome
Larry gave a shout-out and a weather report to the Riddle Runners, then played The Star-Spangled Banner. As
Pork sang the final refrains, there was a low flyover of geese in perfect V formation. A classic moment.
Next, the 1st place men’s and women’s traveling trophies were presented for viewing and admiration. For
the men, a roll of toilet paper stolen from one of the finest mini-marts in the Midwest, signed by each year’s
winner. For the women, a small plush toy buffalo – the Buffalette.
RD Riddle gave pre-race instructions. They went something like this: “For the 4 mile loop, follow the 5
mile trail markers, except where you shouldn’t.” “I didn’t mark the course this time… cuz I didn’t feel like it.”
Not a problem, though, since everyone else knew where they were going. The course is a loop within a loop
– we ran the Moses Tanui route.
I only messed up once, knowing I’d gone wrong when I
heard, “Left, Left, Left!”, “Right, Right, Right!”. I guess I’d
better work on that whole left, right, left, right thing.
Of the 68 starters, 11 of us finished the full 28.35 miles.
Anyone finishing at least one loop got a finisher’s award – one
of 75 cream-filled chocolate cupcakes baked by RD Jeff’s
wife. Here’s RD Jeff presenting me with my award.
Thanks to Jeff for organizing some fine mid-winter fun and
thanks to Brian for the post-race beer.

“The weather was bad: 40’s, never
rained much or got real windy, a pretty dull day weatherwise. We enjoyed
another Mark Daly production at the
start with Lonesome Larry of 98.3 FM
doing the national anthem, which included a perfect fly over performed by
10 geese!! I do not know how Mark
arranged that, but it was great!! We
had 68 starters, 67 signups, 21 walkups , 20 no shows, and 79 cupcakes
made and all enjoyed.”

I know that running and volunteering to work in club races are potentially
hazardous activities. I should not enter and run in club activities unless I am
medically able and properly trained. I agree to abide by any decision of a race
official relative to my ability to safely complete the run. I assume all risks
associated with running and volunteering to work in club races, including falls,

and/or humidity, road and traffic conditions of the course, all such risks being
known and appreciated by me. Having read this waiver and knowing these facts,

myself and anyone entitled to act on my behalf, waive and release the RRCA and

out of negligence or carelessness on the part of the persons named in this waiver.
