Sweet Success Secured at
Delayed Derry 16 Miler
By Bruce Davie
Clear skies and temperatures in the mid-30s
created ideal running conditions for the Derry 16
miler, which had been postponed from the blizzard
weekend. The postponement allowed a large
contingent of GBTC runners to compete. A new
course record was established in both men's and
women's races.
The course is impressively hilly, with 200 feet
of elevation gain between miles 10 and 12. First
across the line for GBTC was Josh Sohn in 2nd
overall. Josh claims that the hills were not that bad,
but a side stitch would have cost him 2nd place if the
race had been 1/4 mile longer. John Blouin came in
10th, breaking 6-minute miles and starting the trend of
age-group prizes for GBTC.
Meagan Chaggaris was 2nd female (under the
old course record) and set a half-marathon PR en
route.
New member Sara Donohue was 4th woman
and won her age-group, followed by Katie Fobert
(2nd in age-group) and Michelle Lang. Making a
welcome return to form was Christy Bonstelle, who
also took 2nd in her age-group. Tom Whitney rounded
out the pack of GBTC finishers with a solid sub-8 per
mile performance.
The award ceremony consisted of a steady
transfer of bottles of maple syrup from the awards
desk to the GBTC table. Look for a big GBTC
pancake breakfast in the near future.

21st GBTC Invitational Snowed Out
By Jim O’Brien and Kit Wells
For the first time in GBTC history, our annual premier event scheduled for Sunday, January 23, was
cancelled. Despite the best intentions and hopes of our Club, the forces of nature prevailed. Boston actually
received over 24 inches of snow on that Saturday night and Sunday morning, accompanied by freakish winds in
excess of 60 miles per hour, forcing the cancellation by early that morning.
Most of the officials, athletes, and volunteers were not able to travel to our meet because of the
inclement weather conditions. Those who tried faced considerable obstacles. On the eve of the event, Sandy
Miller was planning for the worst with her hallmark bravado, declaring, “I plan to snowshoe from my place in
Watertown to be at Harvard around 8:30 tomorrow to work in the AM!!”
Not everyone could resort to low-tech alternatives. Bill Newsham wrote, “I drove the 40 miles in and
got there to find a nearly empty parking lot. A Volvo spun out of control in front of me on the Pike and nearly
took me with it. When I passed him he was going about 35 mph…backwards. Arriving at the track I found only
a plow and a few snowed over cars.” Meanwhile, Coach Tom was stranded with his family on Point Shirley, a
peninsula temporarily turned into an island by sea swells and an absence of municipal plowing.
A number of New York and New Jersey collegiate teams were staying in hotels in Newton on Saturday
night, taking a gamble with the weather conditions. Only one of these teams, City College, managed to arrive at
all, and used the occasion to get in a light workout including long jumps and a two-team 4x400m time trial.
In preparation for this event, we had some success using a modified “on-line” registration process that
produced an increase of 100 entries over recent years. Over 700 athletes were pre-registered for this 21st edition.
Brad Kozel and Francis Shen worked hard before the event to organize the volunteers and produce and
mail press releases to generate interest. In addition, Rodney Hemingway procured dozens of long sleeve Tshirts, printed especially for the occasion. We really appreciate their efforts. Brad was able to get to Harvard on
Sunday and talk with the athletes who were able to be there.
Twenty intrepid GBTC members ignored the Commonwealth’s self-declared state of emergency and
showed up anyway. They arrived that morning on foot or four wheel drive, only to find themselves alone,
together and snowbound. They made the most of the occasion by sneaking in some training miles on the empty
track, doing drills, staging 3000m and 800m time trials, and improvising a co-ed 4x400m relay with four teams!
Fully supporting this mania was Josh Seeherman, who did some admirable hand timing.
The tight facility schedule at Harvard prevented us from scheduling a snow date in February. The date
for next year's event is Sunday, Jan 22, 2006.

GBTC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, and is governed by a board
of directors elected each year by the general membership. Our creed, as
stated in our bylaws, is: “The Greater Boston Track Club provides a
friendly, competitive, team-oriented environment to those who compete
at the national, regional, and local levels. Financial support may be
provided to teams and individuals to compete at major events. The club
promotes events in track and field, road racing, trail running, and crosscountry. A structured training program is provided in the form of team
practices under the guidance of experienced coaches.”
GBTC is registered as USATF-NE club # 016.

Tom Lawlor and Tori Davis are to be married!
Lawlor, a member of the GBTC national cross
country team in 2003, met Davis when they worked
together in the cast of “Dinner with Friends” the
Pulitzer winner play by Donald Margulies. Many club
members saw them in the play in October of 2003 at
the Chelsea Theatre works. Davis had a role in the
movie Mystic River with Kevin Bacon. In “Dinner
with Friends,” Tom and Tori played husband and
wife.
GBTC hosted a successful Holiday Party at the
Muddy Charles Pub on the evening of December 12.
In stark contrast to holiday party of 2003, which
suffered from poor attendance due to an early and
ferocious winter squall, this night was uncommonly
mild, the food plentiful, and spirits were high. Was it
the glittery tinsel hanging on the mantle, or the
ridiculously cheap beer that set the mood? Awards
were presented to the club winners of the USATF
grand prix races; they were Marzuki Stevens (Open),
Laura Hayden (Open), Bruce Davie, (Master), and
Bruce Bond (Senior). Coaches Derderian and Callum
received envelopes filled with holiday cheer.
Twelve club members dutifully responded to a
call to shake their booty on the dance floor at the “33”
Lounge on February 5th. Issued by GBTC boardmember and star hurdler Francis Shen, the invitation
promised to crush all traces of mid-winter boredom.
Respondents made good use of the Saturday soiree,
while significantly turning up the thermostat on
Boston’s hotness factor. Incidentally, Francis owns
the web domain www.trackparty.com. By all
appearances, GBTC is a better social construct than
our mild mannered New England peers, Reebok
Boston and adidas B.A.A.
Emily and Scott Raymond just found out that
she’s having their first child, a boy, next June! Emily
has been a major contributor to the women’s’ team on
the roads over the summer and in the early cross
country season. She will have a few months off from
racing, but is already excited for the next indoor
season and Boston 2006.

Club Names Inaugural Winner of the
Margaret L. Bradley Award
By Tom Derderian
GBTC and Chicago’s Universal Sole announce that Adrien Ricci
is the first recipient of the Margaret L. Bradley award. The award will be
given annually in memory of Margaret L. Bradley, a long-distance
runner who was a member of each club, who died tragically in the
summer of 2004 at age 24.
The award is intended for a young woman from Chicago’s
Universal Sole Club, who is about the age that Bradley was when she
died and about her ability, to compete in the Boston Marathon, and for a
similar young women racer from the Greater Boston Track Club to
compete in the Chicago Marathon in the fall. Adrien Ricci is 24 years
old.
Ricci said, “I’ve known of Margaret since my freshman year in
college. University of Chicago and Elmhurst College competed at
numerous meets together. After college, I joined Universal Sole and
learned that Margaret and I shared the same level of passion for running.
It didn’t take long to know that she was a true competitor and enjoyed every aspect of the sport. Margaret was a
very talented young woman. A true fighter.”
Margaret Bradley, a top finisher at the 108th Boston Marathon in April and a University of Chicago
medical student, died while trail running in the Grand Canyon on July 8, 2004. Bradley was originally from
Falmouth, MA, graduated from the University of Chicago in 2001, and according to the Chicago Sun Times,
still ran up to 90 miles per week after being an All-America cross-country runner while in college. According to
a press release from Grand Canyon National Park, Bradley was separated from her running partner and was
eventually found by park officials in a drainage area near the Colorado River, dead from dehydration due to
environmental heat exposure.
Bradley, 24, was a member of both Universal Sole Racing Team in the Chicagoland area and the Greater
Boston Track Club, where she trained under Tom Derderian, veteran marathon journalist, runner, and coach.
Chicago Athlete magazine had recently highlighted her as the June 2004 "Athlete of the Month." She finished
the 2004 Boston Marathon as the 13th American female (31st woman overall), in an official time of 3:04:54. At
the 2003 Chicago Marathon, Bradley finished in a time of 2:59:30 (2:58:52 net time).
In August 2004, the Greater Boston Track Club board of directors approved the establishment of the
Margaret L. Bradley Award to be given yearly to a female member of the Universal Sole Track Club in Chicago
to pay expenses to race in the Boston Marathon. Similarly, the Universal Sole Track Club has approved a
Margaret L. Bradley Award to be given yearly to a member of the Greater Boston Track Club to race in the
Chicago Marathon.
The program seeks to remember Bradley, who was a member of both clubs, but who was GBTC’s first
scorer on its winning open (18 years of age and older) team at the 2004 Boston Marathon. Later in the spring,
she ran on the Universal Sole team which placed second in the USATF National 5K Championship (Freihofer’s
Run for Women) in Albany, New York.
The two clubs intend for the award to continue in perpetuity for the purpose of recognizing and aiding
aspiring, young, female marathoners who are of similar ability to that of Bradley. “The award will go to
postcollegiate women marathoners who have a reasonable chance to run the times that Bradley ran,” writes
Derderian.
GBTC will host a reception for Adrien Ricci on the Saturday evening before the marathon.

From the President
By Bruce Davie
With my first chance to speak as president in the newly re-launched Wingfoot, I found myself
thinking about some wise words I heard from Coach Tom. As we talked about the Wingfoot, he said that
he wanted to encourage club members to be fans of the club. I think this is the aspect of GBTC that I find
most satisfying - the way club members care about the performances of other club members.
A great example of this for me was running in the Boston Indoor Games. For those of you who
missed it, I ran in the old persons' mile, and after moving into last place at the 5 meter mark I managed to
defend that position all the way to the finish. What made it a great experience for me was that not the fact
that I competed in front of a crowd of thousands, or that I ran a season's best, but that I got so many cheers
and congratulations from the GBTC team-mates who were at the meet. And what I really loved was that
many GBTC members actually knew that it was a season's best for me, and some could even compare it to
my previous season. This is true track geekdom, and I love it.
We know that most of us aren't
even likely to win local races, never mind
go to the Olympics (but we love it when
someone does). We run or throw or jump
to achieve the best we are capable of. Our
GBTC
team-mates
understand
the
satisfaction that comes from a new PR, and
we support each other in training to reach
our goals; we also sympathize when goals
are not met.
So with the new-look Wingfoot
we're bringing you stories and stats about
the club members so that you can know
what your team-mates have achieved lately
and support them as they train for their
next races. Good luck to everyone at the
New England Championships and the
upcoming road racing season.

In the Locker Room with … Meagan Chaggaris
By the Wingfoot Express
Meagan, how did you prepare for the dreaded Derry 16 Miler, where you
totally kicked ass?
It really started the evening before with a carbo load dinner at Bruce and
Christy’s. We had the most amazing pasta with homemade sauce and an
Indian bread pudding to die for.
Was it the food, or chilling out with teammates, that made the difference?
I’ve recently found out that Bruce is a master chef and Christy an invaluable
assistant. We went over the typical race strategies, what we were planning
on going out in, what we realistically thought we could do.
Okay, fast forward to race day. Do you have any mind games you like play,
to psych-out the competition? Is this a component of your “A” game?
Everyone was nervous about the “moderately challenging” course and it
probably didn’t help that my response to, “so what is this course like?” was
“long and hilly.” I think that I had everyone fearing a death march going
into the race.

Jim Rhoades
Well done. Hopefully you also took care of “other business” like your race
outfit and personal hygiene before you the ordeal began?
Apparently in years past there have been complaints by the residents of the
runners relieving themselves alongside the road at the start of the race. We
had to be escorted [to the starting line] by the race director … to insure that
this didn’t happen this year otherwise the race would not continue.
Gross! Were any of the lead women actually caught peeing on homeowners lawns this year?
I started off the race with the leaders, Kara Haas, Cathy Pearce and Diona Fulton.
I’ll take that as a “no.” But what’s up with the front running?
I had not intended on this but the pace was comfortable so I thought I’d try to hold it and back off if necessary.
Wise tactical move. So where did the tea party start to break up?
The first 6 miles are generally rolling with a lot of downhill. At mile 7 you take a sharp left turn and are staring straight ahead
at pavement, the hill is long and steep. By this point Cathy Pearce and Kara Haas have both dropped back and Diona Fulton is
somewhere in the vicinity.
And then the course levels off, right?
The next few miles are generally rolling until around mile 11.
But then it levels off?
It’s then mostly all uphill for close to 2 miles. Somewhere in the hills I lost my contact with Diona Fulton, but at this point it
was just about surviving. Once you hit the 13.1 mile mark, you know the hills are done and there are less then 3 left to go.
I hurt just listening to this. Was there anything that helped you out in the home stretch?
The rest of the race is fairly flat with some downhill. The last slight uphill push comes on the second to last turn, but at this point
you see the cones and some spectators and know that the finish is around the corner. In the last half mile, Josh Sohn, who
finished second, ran by on his cool down and yelled much needed words of encouragement to get my legs pumping for the last
turn.
Hit me with the digits. Sock it to me.
When I saw the clock and finished in 1:46:03 I knew that I had surpassed my goal. This was very exciting. I congratulated the
race winner and went back to the finish to cheer on my teammates coming in. Sara came in with a very impressive 1:49:31,
Katie Fobert in 1:53:53, Michelle in 1:55:48 and Christy in 1:58:05. Everyone was very happy with their times, and surpassed
their expectations.
Wow, that’s a lot of digits. And what about the bling bling?
At the awards ceremony, GBTC swept many of the age group awards and won a giant bottle of maple syrup in the shape of a
maple leaf. It was announced that the top 3 female finishers all broke the course record.

The Athlete’s Kitchen
Eating for Endurance: What, When and Why
© Nancy Clark, Feb 2005
Some runners consider food their reward at the end of the day; they save up their
appetite for a huge feast at dinnertime. Wiser runners treat food as fuel; they
knowledgeably fuel before, during and after exercise. They get more out of their
workouts and prevent needless fatigue. If that is your goal, keep reading!
What to eat before you run
Contrary to popular belief, pre-run food does NOT simply sit in the stomach
and hinder athletic performance. Rather, it enhances stamina and endurance
(assuming you can tolerate it). The following study confirms this point:
On two occasions, athletes exercised moderately hard until they were exhausted. In one trial, they
ate a 400-calorie breakfast three hours before exercising. In the second trial, they simply had a dinner the
night before. When they exercised "on empty," they exercised for only 109 minutes, as compared to 136
minutes with the breakfast. That's almost half an hour longer! Exercising without fuel left them lagging.
(Med Sci Sports Exerc 31(3):464, 1999)
Even if you eat five minutes before you run, you’ll digest the snack and burn it while you run,
assuming you will be running at a pace you can maintain for more than 30 minutes. This means, you can
enjoy a granola bar and banana in the morning, before you run out the door. Research suggests this preexercise snack can help you perform 10% harder in the last 10 minutes of a one-hour workout. Go for it!
Your goal is to target 0.5 grams carbohydrate per pound of body weight within the hour before you
exercise. This means, if you weigh 150 pounds, you should target about 300 calories. This is far more than
most runners consume. Obviously, the amount will depend on your stomach's tolerance to pre-run fuel. If
you have a finicky stomach, liquids or semi-solids (Boost, yogurt, applesauce, pudding) might empty from
the stomach quicker than oatmeal, bagel, banana, animal crackers or graham crackers. The trick is to teach
your intestinal track to tolerate the pre-exercise food so you can enjoy higher energy but avoid undesired
pit stops.
Eating During Long Runs
If you will be running longer than an hour, plan to consume carbs and fluids during the run to
maintain energy and prevent dehydration and needless fatigue. Depending on your body size, intensity of
exercise and intestinal tolerance, you'll want to target about 100 to 250 calories of carbohydrates per hour
after the first hour of a 2 or 3 hour run. If necessary, set your watch to beep every 15 to 20 minutes as a
reminder to consume 8 ounces of a sports drink, a Tootsie Roll or part of an energy bar + water. If you are
doing an Ironman or ultra-distance event, you should try to consume even more (400 to 500 calories/hour).
During a moderate to hard endurance workout, carbohydrates in muscle glycogen and blood
glucose supply about half of the energy. As you deplete muscle glycogen, you increasingly rely on glucose
(sugar) in your blood for energy. By consuming sports drinks, gels, bananas, hard candies, peppermint
patties and other carb-based foods during exercise, you will fuel your muscles, maintain a normal blood
sugar and prevent the dreaded wall.
Your brain relies on the glucose in your blood for energy; keeping your brain fed helps you think
clearly, concentrate well, remain focused—and perform better. Do NOT "hold off" until after your workout
to eat. Rather, fuel during workouts. For example, triathletes should eat while on the bike. Coaches should
give teams a snack break during long (2+ hours) practices.

Your body doesn't care if you ingest solid or liquid carbohydrates––both are equally effective forms
of fuel. You just have to learn which sports snacks settle best for your body–-gels, gummy bears, dried
figs, sugar wafers, tea with honey, sports drink, defizzed cola? If you get your energy from concentrated
calories, as opposed to sports drinks, be sure to drink additional fluids. That is, runners who eat energy bars
(or gels) during exercise can too easily under-hydrate.
Despite popular belief, sugar (as in sports drinks, jelly beans, licorice) can be a positive snack
during a long run and is unlikely to cause you to "crash" (experience hypoglycemia). That's because sugar
taken during exercise results in only small increases in both insulin and blood glucose. Yet, if you consume
too much sugar (>250 calories/hour), the high dose might slow the rate at which fluids leave your stomach,
causing sloshing, discomfort. (If you experience GI distress, slow down and work at an easier pace.)
Post-run Food
If you will not be running again for a day or two, you need not worry about rapid refueling. But if
you workout hard twice a day, you should consume post-exercise carbohydrates as soon as tolerable-ideally 0.5 grams carbohydrate per pound body weight every hour, for 4 to 5 hours (300 calories per hour,
if you weigh 150 pounds). Consuming some protein along with the carbs stimulates faster glycogen
replacement and optimizes muscular repair and growth.
Some commercial recovery foods tout the benefits of whey protein. Current research indicates no
advantage of whey over casein in terms of muscle growth. (Tipton, Med Sci Sports 36(12)2073, 2004)
Yes, you can buy commercial recovery foods that contain protein, but you can just as effectively enjoy
cereal with milk, bagel with peanut butter or pasta with meat sauce. These foods offer carbs with an
accompaniment of protein (a ratio of 40 gm carb, 10 gm pro). If you prefer liquids for recovery foods,
choose Instant Breakfast, chocolate milk, Boost, yogurt or fruit smoothies; they are tasty sources of carbs +
fluids + a little protein. The trick is to plan ahead and have the right foods and fluids readily available.
Post-run Fluids
Preventing dehydration during a long run is preferable to treating dehydration post-run. But if you
failed to drink adequately (as indicated by scanty, dark urine), you may need 24 to 48 hours to totally
replace this loss. Fruit juices, smoothies and watery fruits are better than plain water because they offer
carbs, protein, vitamins and other nutrients that optimize recovery and invest in good health. If beer is your
preference, be sure to first quench your thirst with orange juice, soft drinks or sports drinks and eat some
carbs (pretzels, thick-crust pizza) so you get carbo-loaded, not just "loaded"! Or think again. Would you be
wiser to simply enjoy the natural high of exercise?

New Opportunities Pursued for Club Sponsorship
Out with the old, and in with the new; two key sponsorships with Saucony and CarbBoom have not
carried over into 2005. Although we are sorry to see these opportunities for our members go away, we do
appreciate the contributions that both companies have made to many of the club’s past activities.
Looking forward, GBTC has made arrangements for members to get shoes on the cheap. Loco, a
small up-and-coming shoe company, is offering a 10% discount to club members for online orders. These
shoes typically retail for $65 to $80. Look into purchasing them at
www.locorunning.com. There has also been some discussion about whether the
club will receive some shoes for free, although the exact details of that benefit
have yet to be ironed out.

Merchandise and Gear
A merchandise bonanza is being plotted for 2005. This will include T-shirts, sweatshirts, knit hats,
seamless sports bras, track suit jackets, gender-specific singlets, and a quietly rumored wicking-type-fabric
shirt. Josh Seeherman, resident track results guru, will be in charge of coordinating our wardrobes. Could
this be the first edition of “Stats Eye for the Track Guy”? We’ll see. Help Josh help you help the club by
placing your orders once the 2005 collection is revealed.
For now, the long-sleeved t-shirts that were intended for the GBTC Invitational will be sold to club
members for $11. These shirts are available in either ash or red. The graphic design printed on them is
keen. Josh will be selling these shirts at future practices. $11 is the price that the club spent to have each
one made, so purchasing one will help offset any loss the club incurred due to the snowed out Invitational.
More about bras: Christy Bonstelle is organizing the group purchase of a racing bra good enough
for GBTC women. Here's an opportunity to be fashionable and comfortable while still sporting your GBTC
logo. The plan is to order these and get the good old GBTC logo on the front (or at least the letters GBTC).
The chosen model is the Moving Comfort Kyoto Bra. It will cost $27, which is below retail, thanks to the
Boston Running Company. Orders can be placed with Christy between now and Feb. 23rd; drop her an
email or sign up on the order sheet at practice. She will have a sample at practice for all to examine.
Social Calendar
A reception for Adrian Rici, the first recipient of the Margaret L. Bradley Award, has been planned.
This reception will involve some sort of fundraising element. The event will held be on the evening of
Saturday, April 16th, at the spacious Cambridge home of Bruce Davie and Christy Bonstelle.
Ted Charrette has tentatively reserved the “Tasting Room” at the Harpoon Brewery for a large
gathering of club members of Friday, April 15th, from 5:30 to 7:00 PM. This is located in South Boston,
nearby the Boston World Trade Center and on the MBTA’s highly touted Silver Line. If this date does not
work well for many people, because the marathon weekend is already an orgy of GBTC-filled activities, an
alternate reservation could be made for a Friday in mid-March. Details to be posted, probably via email.
Membership Report
As of February 9, there are 147 current paid members, including 12 sponsored athletes, and 8 social
members. Within the last year, our membership size has peaked at 187 (October, 2004). Such a fluctuation
in the membership throughout the year is not unusual. Arrangements are being made to enable online
payments for membership dues and merchandise via PayPal.
Finally, all current members are strongly encouraged to recruit new members to join the GBTC.
Feel free to use the new full color brochure, available on the website, to help spread the love. The entire
club warmly welcomes all those who have most recently joined the GBTC. They are:
