Mountain Run ofthe Month
The 6th annual
by Dave Hanscom
TUNA BIATHLON
It's hard to believe lhat it's time to think about training for cross
country skiing already. It seems like only last week that we finally
hung up the skis and pulled out the running shoes. The snow around
Daniels Summit and the Strawberry Reservoir was truly incredible
this spring. Bill Stenquist and I were skiing at dawn two or three days
a week until May 15. I've never had so much good cruising in my
life!

Some good autumn traih
But now's the time to break out thc roller skis and remind the upper
body that winter is right around the corner. Another good training
alternative is hiking uphill with ski poles. I recommend the Alexander
Basin trail in Millcreek Canyon as a consistently steep climb that's
cool and free of snakes (both the crawling variety and the ones with
wheels under them). Lone Peak and Mount Olympus are better in the
autumn after the temperature falls and the buzz worms hibernate.
Autumn isalso the best season forrunning in themountains. Much
ofthe good terrain must be shared with mountain bikers, but an early
start will usually assure your safety. As long as you're going down
when they're climbing, you are unlikely to get run over.

Wasatch Front
My recommendations for mountain runs in the Wasatch Front are
the new sections of the Great Western Trail. The best news of the
year for hikers and runners is that the Big Water Trail at thc end of
Millcreek is now closed to mountain bikers on even-numbered
weekend day s. Another bit of good news is that the section of the trail
between Big Mountain and Parleys is now complete. This is a
delightful point-to-point run. I recommend leaving a car at the
Summit Park exit of Interstate 80 and running south from Big
Mountain pass on Route 65.
There is a large parking area at Big Mountain, and the trail goes
up the ridge from there. (Be careful not to get on the Mormon Pioneer
Trail that drops down to the east from the same parking Iot.)The only
places where one might take wrong turns are a couple of trails that
drop steeply down side canyons to the east (ending up at Jeremy
Ranch) and one that follows a ridge to the west (ending up at the
Mountain Del golf course). Most ofthe approximately 10-mile trail
stays high on the ridge overlooking the main Wasatch peaks to the
south and thc valleys on each side. It's truly a spectacular run.
Ifyou prefer to do an out and back run from the Parleys end, take
the Summit Park exit just over the top of Parleys and park your car
on the dirt frontage road north ofthe Interstate. Run west (parallel)
to the highway) for about a mile. The road then turns north and
climbs quite steeply to the telephone company antennas on top of the
ridge. Bear left at the fork just beyond. The trail forks again in less
than a half mile. Bear left once again, and you should have very little
difficulty staying on course.

The 1993 Wasatch Telemark Series season came to close on
March 21 at Solitude. A long and grueling day was prescribed due
to a tightly scheduled morning dual giant slalom and afternoon
classic terrain race. However, the efforts of devoted race crew
members, our illustrious organizer, Fritz Von Beren, course-setter
Francois Paul-Hus, and countless others came together and the day
came off with out a hitch. Well, almost!
The men's giant slalom was dominated by visiting Wyomian,
Halsey Hewson, who beat the men'sfieldby a total of 4.5 seconds
over two runs. Wow. you guys better watch out for this one next
season! Patrick Ledger, Brandy Haddick, Chris Larson, and Charlie
Hassard were second, third, fourth, andfifth,respectively.
The women's giant slalom was also dominated by a visitor, this
time from Virginia. Beth Campbell smoked the women's field by a
solid fourseconds. Jennifer Borzilleri, Carolyn Sterrett, Lori Stabler,
and Sarah Bennett were second, third, fourth, andfifth,respectively.
The classic terrain race was truly an "over hill and dale" type of
race as competitors found themselves with two uphill jaunts into the
woods, two jumps and many giant slalom gates. The men's field was
very close with Chris Larson taking first by just under a second with
a time of one minute and 57.08 seconds. Brandy Haddick, visiting
from Frisco, Colorado, came in second with a time of 1:58.12.
Deeder Petersen, Lars Vik, and Patrick Ledger followed respectively in third, forth, andfifthplaces.
In the women's field, Carolyn Sterrett tookfirstby a large margin
of 15 seconds with a time of 2:12.42. Sarah Bennett followed with
a time of 2:27.95. Lori Stahler, Annie Wallace, and Jen Borzilleri
were a close third, fourth, and fifth.

TUNA Telemark Racers in Europe
The United States was represented by eleven men and six women
telemark racers schussed to France and Italy to compete in the
Luropean Telemark and World Telemark Championships. Six of
those racers are TUNA members who reside along the Wasatch
Front. Three racers, Carolyn Sterrett, Chris Larson, and Ellen
Guthrie, attended last year's World Telemark Championships in
Engleberg, Switzerland and were joined by first time international
competitors Patrick Ledger, Jennifer Borzilleri, and Sarah Bennett.
The European Telemark Championships were held the Saturday
before the World Championships were to begin at La Plagne,
France. The format for Saturday's event included only one race, a
terrain race that featured a section of "free," or non-telemark gates,
at the top of a course that began by dropping over an extremely steep
headwall. Surviving the headwall racers then continued down a
section of gates requiring "super-telemark" turns, where toe-to-heel
distance had to be held at some point in the turn but was not required
at the gate. The next series of GS gates took competitors down over
an enormous "European size" jump and down another steep roller
before entering the uphill skate portion of the race. Racers crossed
the finish line at the end of their skate to the cheers of on-lookers
enjoying hot-spiced wine and cheese at the bottom ofthe hill.
Brandy Haddick was the top U.S. finisher with a second place
finish in the men's division. He was followed by Dean Derosier who
took third. Chris Larson of Park City, the currently ranked number
one men's telemark racer in the U.S., came up with afifthplace finish
after a bobble in the course. Ellen Guthrie,finishedfor fifth place and
Sarah Bennett, who fell and had lo hike for a gate, still managed lo
finish in sixth place.
The next morning troops mobilized and headed for Courmayeur,
Italy where the Super G was thefirstevent to be held at the World
Telemark Championships. It was not counted in the final tally of
events along with the slalom. The reason for this decision seemed to
lie in thc European belief that these are not traditional telemark-type
events. This was a very unpopular decision among the Americans,
who train for and race in slalom, giant slalom and classic terrain
events throughout their race season.
Helmets were required for the Super G and each racer received
only one run, one chance to ski clean and fast.
The course was very fast for the women and for the first half ofthe
men's field. But by mid morning the strength ofthe spring sun had
begun to work it's magic. Temperatures wanned into the 50s by
midday, the course got softer, the ruts got deeper, and times slowed
substantially.
The fastest time turned in by a woman came from Liv Randi
Pettersen from Norway who skied clean and came up with an
unbeatable 1:24.21. Second place was Norwegian, Marita Hanne
Spissay, who turned a clean 1:28.05. Third place went to Canadian,
Lesley Clement, with a 1:29.39 (one penalty.) Shannon Arell. from
Burlington, Vermont was the top American finisher in ninth place
witha 1:33.41 (fourpenalties). BethannDoughertyofBreckenridgc
was in 17th place with a 1:36.67 (seven penalites), Utah TUNA
member Carolyn Sterrett, (no penalties) finished in 1:45.99 for the
19th spot. TUNA members Ellen Guthrie and Jennifer Borzilleri
came in 24th and 27th respectively.

The top men's finisher was Norwegian Morten Moller with a time
of 1:17.93 (two penalties). Countryman Terland Espen captured
second with a 1:20.11 (one penalty). John Crawford Curri of Sweden
was very' close at 1:20.56 (one penalty) for third. The top American
men's finisher was TUNA member Patrick Ledgerof Salt LakeCity,
whocamein21stinafieldofaltnostahundredracers. I-edgerturned
a time of 1:22.74 (five penalties). Chris Larson was thc fourth
American men's finisher with a 1:28.13 (ten penalties) which put
him in 53rd.
Wednesday's slalom event featured two nins on a short courscof
twenty-four gates and one monstrous pro-bump. Gate judges threw
up Hags as raccrs in violation ofthe boot-length rule went by. After
penalties were assessed the sixteen fastest times from the women's
field, and the thirty-two fastest times from thc men's field, went head
to head in a dual elimination format.
The course incorporated European ideas about slalom racing,
loosely spaced gates straight down the fall line with a pro-bump that
added both danger and excitement to the race. Thc pro-bump
launched raccrs into the air landing them at, or beyond, their next
gate. Once again, the warm spring day played havoc with snow
conditions, the deep ruts that formed as the day wore on added
another element of difficulty to an already fast and dangerous
course.
Jennifer Borzilleri, Utah skier and TUNA member, was the only
American woman who made il into the head to head competition of
the slalom finals for the women. She ad vanccd into the round of eight
but was beaten by a Norwegian who went on to take fourth. Maria
Nasbergof Sweden won the women's slalom. Seven American men
qualified to go head to head in the Wednesday's slalom event,
including Patrick Ledger and Chris Larson. Harry Hammil was the
only American male to advance into the next round where he was
beaten by a Norwegian. It was a clean sweep for the Norwegian men
in the slalom event. Henni Anders, Beisvag Vidar, and Morten
Moller finished one, two, three.
The Scandinavian crew did not let up the next day for thc Giant
Slalom and the first day of racing that would officially count toward
the World Telemark Championships. The GS course was run on (he
same hill as the Super G, with a jump built at thc top of the second
headwall that landed skiers well up but far to thc right of their next
gate on a steep hill. Women were first up, only twenty-nine entered.
Once again Liv Randi Pcttersen of Norway won with an unbeatable
total of 2:40.68 forthetwo runs. AnneThorsesen, was in second with
a total of 2:48.52, Tove Thun made it a clean sweep for thc
Norwegian women and produced the fastest time ofthe day in thc
women's field on her second run with a 1:18.67. American women.
Shannon Arell (2:56.28/ six penalties) and Bethann Doughtery
(3:04.85/cight penalties) went on to take eighth and tenth, a good
showing for the U.S.. Sterrett, Guthrie, and Borzilleri went 14th,
17th, and 19th for their finishes.
Norwegians Morten Moller and Eivind Bakken grabbed the first
two spots in the men's field, letting third go to a Swede, Utf Karlsson.
For the U.S. team Dean Derosier (2:40.93/ four penalties) and Harry
Hammil (2:41.57/twelve penalties) were the top two finishers,
filling the 19th and 22nd spots on the final results list. TUNA's
Patrick Ledger finished 34th with a total of 2:51.06 (five penalties),
and Chris Larson was two spots behind him with a total of 2:52.16
(nine penalties).
Friday was a free day forraccrs who were invited to ski in aclassic
relay type event for fun. Those who decided to race returned to the
hotel pale and shaken. The course was dangerous. Carolyn Sterrett

mountain by toboggan, and two of those, a Swede who broke his
back, and a Canadian with a serious break and laceration and
required surgery, had to be air-lifted out of the valley to nearby
hospitals. The Americans escaped Saturday's event without injury.
Overall the Norwegian women took the top four spots. Shannon

Melene A. Rose, LMT
To a person who has felt the benefits of massage, the term "healing
hands" is no mystery. Athletes in the United States are discovering
what European and Asian athletes have known for years — that
massage energizes, enhances athletic performance and speeds recovery from injury and overtraining.
Massage technicians are now a common sight at major running
events such as the St. George Marathon and the Salt Lake City
Classic. Runners know that a brief post-event massage can reduce
muscle soreness due to lactic acid build-up. What many athletes
don't know, is that pre-event massages and regular massage with the
training can also decrease muscle soreness, injury and improve
performance.
Sport massage is not new, in fact, the athletes of ancient Greece
used massage. Since the mid- 1800s, European athletes have had
massage available as a training tool. Most elite-level athletes use
massage regularly, and some cycling teams travel with one or two
therapists. The 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles were the first
to incorporate massage therapists as part ofthe training teams which
care for the athletes' injuries.
Massage is popular because it gives immediate relief to sore and
tired muscles by bringing oxygen to the muscles and moving out the
lactic acid and other toxins. This is done by improving the blood
circulation. Thus, when used after an event or a training session,
massage speeds recovery.
