Explosions
Near Boston
Marathon
Finish Line
Today is Monday, April 15.
I have just submitted the May issue
of Colorado Runner to our printer
and settled back to watch the coverage of the Boston Marathon. The
elite American women are led by
U.S. Olympian Shalane Flanagan,
with her training partner Kara
Goucher in sixth. I’m happy for
Jason Hartmann of Boulder when
he finishes a strong fourth. And I’m
excited for Boulder runners Lee
Troop and Fernanda Cabada when
they cross the finish line in 15th and
16th. I turn the coverage off after
the elites finish and decide to answer some emails. An email comes
in reporting an explosion at the race.
I’m stunned. I turn the tv back on
and think, “Where’s the finish line?
my 60th marathon two months ago in
Where are the runners? What is
new orleans won’t be my last.
going on?”
I am in a state of disbelief
as the news unfolds about the explosions, the injuries to spectators, and the malicious intent of the
act. My thoughts and prayers are with all of those involved – the runners, the race organizers, and
volunteers, and even friends in the media that are covering the race. Ever since I ran the New York
City Marathon just seven weeks after the terrorist attacks on September 11, I have wondered if
something like this could happen. I think back to the dozens of marathons that I’ve run, that I’ve
volunteered at, or that I’ve reported on from the sidelines. When thousands of runners converge
on a city for a marathon, it’s such a happy, innocent time. Total strangers line the streets to cheer
runners on. Bands play. No one boos. And Boston is one of the world’s best races. It’s a race that all
marathoners want to be able to run.
Marathons like Boston represent strength, endurance, and courage. The stories from race
day are usually tales of personal achievement and triumph, about setting fundraising milestones,
and about setting personal records. Anyone who knows me knows that I absolutely love running
and marathoning. I’ve run 60 marathons. It’s more than a hobby, it’s an obsession. Marathoners put
in countless hours of training for the chance to compete in Boston. Marathons are celebrations.
But today I just see screaming and chaos. I feel vulnerable.
I turn to Facebook and Twitter to find out if any friends were injured. My wife’s friend
was crossing the finish line when the first blast went off. Her husband and their two young daughters were in the stands. They report through social media that they are safe. But I watch her run
across the finish line with smoke bellowing behind her as the television news plays the scene over
and over and over again. I think, “That could be my wife. My kids. Just like it has been at so many
races.” A fellow magazine colleague reports that he is safe but on lockdown in the marathon media
center. I see reports from old friends that they finished before the blasts and are safely at their
hotels. I hear from another friend that someone I know was at 25 miles when it happened. And I
think, “Thank heavens they are all safe.”
So I’m writing this publisher’s letter with little idea of what will end up happening
the rest of today. But I at least wanted to address the event before this issue of Colorado Runner
is printed. I’m shocked and saddened by the explosions that have taken place at today’s Boston
Marathon. I’m horrified by the injuries and the loss of life that is being reported. My condolences
go out to all of those affected by this unspeakable act. But I ultimately know that today’s events
will not stop runners from running or competing. We are strong and resilient. Strength. Endurance. Courage. That’s what marathoning represents.

Colorado Running Hall of Fame
Announces Class of 2013
mattie suver of boulder at the world
cross country championships.
Colorado Runners Compete at World Cross
Country Championships
Runners from Colorado competed for Team USA at the IAAF
World Cross Country Championships on March 24 in Bydgoszcz,
Poland. In the senior men’s 12K race, James Strang of Colorado Springs
finished in 37th place in 34:20. The men’s team placed a surprising second. It was the first team medal in the 12-kilometer race earned by Team
USA since 2001 in Ostend, Belgium, and the first silver medal won since
1984 in East Rutherford, N.J., when Pat Porter led the squad to a second
place finish behind Ethiopia.
Strang said, “It’s an absolutely incredible feeling. We knew that this
course was made for us. Our game plan was to go out conservative, and
work our way up each lap. All of us know how to run cross very well, and
we knew we had to go and take care of business.”
In the senior women’s eight-kilometer race, the squad finished
fourth, missing out on its third consecutive team medal. Mattie Suver of
Boulder finished 26th in 25:41. “It was fun out there, especially on a hard
course. It was hard to get a rhythm. We had a great group of women out
there. I wanted to get out there and compete and race the other women,
and ultimately run as good a race as possible.”
In the junior women’s 6 kilometer race, Carrie Verdon of Boulder
finished 20th in 19:33 to pace Team USA to a sixth place finish, scoring
105 points. “The race plan was to go with the flow and feel the course.
Don’t try to fight the conditions because they were so crazy. I’ve never
been in a race like this, so it was important to keep an open mind, and
not think too hard about it. I worked my way up through the race and
caught some people, and I’m proud of that.”
May/June 2013
The Colorado Running Hall of Fame class of 2013 includes Doug
Bell, Nancy Hobbs, Jay Johnson, Lidia Simon, Marshall Ulrich, and
Jane Welzel. The Colorado Running Hall of Fame recognizes Colorado
residents for their achievement and contribution to the sport of distance
running. The class was inducted into the Colorado Running Hall of
Fame on Wednesday, April 10th at the Denver Athletic Club.
Doug Bell has been running since the 1970s and still holds several
national age group records. He has three Denver Marathon victories under his belt. He set Masters Records in 1992 in both the 5K (14:36) and
25K (1:21:24), as well as set the American Indoor Mile record in 2006 in
4:49:62 at age 55. He owns Bells Running Store in Greeley.
Nancy Hobbs is the founder and executive director of the American
Trail Running Association, a council member of the World Mountain
Running Association, manager of the US Mountain Running Team
(starting the women’s team in 1995), and chairperson of the USATF
Mountain Ultra Trailrunning Council.
Jay Johnson is an elite mountain runner and record holder. He was
an impressive high school distance runner, running a 2:28 marathon at
Paavo Nurmi in 1977, earning one of the top five times in the U.S. He
was the first American to win the World Mountain Championships in
1987, and also placed 9th in 1980, 22nd in 1991, and 24th in 1992.
Lidia Simon is an elite long-distance runner, earning a silver medal
in the marathon at the 2000 Sydney Olympics where she represented
Romania. She competed in five Olympic Marathons (1996, 2000, 2004,
2008, 2012). She is a six-time participant at the World Championships
in Athletics, winning gold in 2001 and taking bronze medals at the
Marathon World Championships in 1997 and 1999.
Marshall Ulrich is an elite extreme endurance athlete, as well as
an accomplished speaker, author, trainer, and guide. Ulrich has finished
125 ultra marathons and climbed the Seven Summits. Ulrich broke
two transcontinental speed records when he ran 3,063.2 miles in 52.5
days from San Francisco to New York. A record four-time winner of the
Badwater Ultramarathon, Ulrich has also raised more than $850,000 for
various charities.
Jane Welzel is a five-time Olympic Trials Marathon participant.
Following a car accident in 1984 that broke her neck and left her in a
body cast for three months, Welzel amazingly recovered, again qualifying
for the Olympic Trials. She went on to become the National Marathon
Champion in 1990 (2:33:24).
Yates Wins 50 Mile Trail Championship
Michele Yates of Littleton won the USA 50 Mile Trail Championships on March 2 in Rocksprings, Texas. The event was held at the Nueces Trail Run. Race day began with light frost and temperatures in the
mid-30s, but warmed throughout the day into the mid-60s. The course
consisted of three 16.67 mile loops over hilly and rocky terrain. Yates
decided to get away in the darkness of the first hour of the race. She
separated herself from the field and completed loop one in a time she
questioned whether she could maintain. But maintain she did. She broke
her own course record by 32 minutes. Her finishing time of 6:53.25 was
good for fourth place overall. This was her third national title.
Melanie Fryar of Denver and Pam Smith only ran together briefly,
but were often close throughout the day. In the end Melanie, pulled away
slightly to claim runner up in 7:33.58. Pam Smith ran strong for third in
7:39.19. Both ladies have multiple podium finishes at competitive ultras
and USATF Mountain, Ultra, Trail championships.
Martinez Wins Austin Marathon;
Troop Wins Half Marathon
Omar Martinez, 27, of Arvada won the Livestrong Austin Marathon on Sunday, February 17th in his first attempt at the distance. The
former Adams State runner was in second place for the majority of the
race. The Boulder Track Club runner took the lead 600 meters from the
finish line to win in a time of two hours, 35 minutes and nine seconds.
“At mile 21, someone said he was three minutes ahead of me, and
Photography By marathonfoto.com and Jiro Mochizuki / photorun
I figured there was no way I could catch him,” Martinez said. “At 24
miles, I heard two minutes. At 25 miles, someone screamed, ‘He’s only
40 seconds ahead.’ I thought, ‘I’ve only got one freakin’ mile to go. If I die
then, who cares?’ ”
It was a dual victory for the Boulder Track Club runners. Martinez’s
coach, Lee Troop, won the half marathon in 1:06:46. Troop, who raced
in the Olympic marathon for Australia in 2000, 2004 and 2008, finished
nearly three minutes in front of the runner-up, Clint Wells, also a member of the Boulder Track Club. Other club members who earned notable
performances in the half marathon include Mark Del Monaco (5th),
Kristen Carpenter (8th), Alison Steele and Julie Olsen Smith (18th).
Conditions were ideal in Austin, Texas on race day with sunny skies,
very little wind, and temperatures in the 40s. Race organizers say the
marathon attracted more than 5,000 registrants with another 12,000 in
the half marathon.
Nelson, McCandless Place at Cherry Blossom
Close finishes in both the men’s and women’s races and a USA
record by Janet Bawcom were the highlights at the 41st Credit Union
Cherry Blossom 10 Mile on April 7 in Washington D. C. The overall
titles went to two Kenyans, Caroline Rotich and Daniel Salel, and the
latter didn’t know he was the winner until more than 30 minutes after
the race because the finish was so tight. Bawcom won the USA Championship for women and collected $9,000 in prize money.
Brianne Nelson of Golden continued her rise to national class status, getting second in the championship division (7th overall) in a career
best 54:01. In the men’s race, the top American was Tyler McCandless of
Boulder in 8th place getting a personal best of 49:01.
Kuck Wins Challenged Athlete of the Year
Kerry Kuck has earned the Challenged Athlete of the Year award
by the Road Runners Club of America. Kuck is a well-known local blind
runner with Type I diabetes. He has finished the Colfax Marathon
and five Colfax Half Marathons, as well as the Boston Marathon. He
is a member of the Rocky Mountain Road Runners Club in Denver.
The RRCA will present all national award winners with a commemorative plaque at the 55th Annual RRCA Banquet and National Running
Awards Ceremony that is scheduled for May 4th in Albuquerque. Other
awards included the Pikes Peak Road Runners in Colorado Springs as
the winner of the Outstanding Club Newsletter and Micah Ward of
Colorado Springs as Club Writer of the Year.
“All of the athletes are not only tremendous runners but also leaders
in the community and the classroom,” said John Gregorio, chair of the
awards committee. ”These young athletes are leading the way into the
future of running.”
The athletes must place in either the state cross-country or track
and field meet in addition to maintaining a GPA of 3.00 or higher and
participating in community service.
Ritzenhein, Hartmann at NYC Half
At the eighth edition of the NYC Half Marathon, Kenyans Wilson
Kipsang and Caroline Rotich overcame freezing conditions to separate
themselves from the competition on the streets of Manhattan. Kipsang
and Rotich clocked 1:01:02 and 1:09:09. Former University of Colorado standout Dathan Ritzenhein finished third in 1:01:10. His time is
a new personal best. Ritzenhein was satisfied with his race, saying that
it was much better than his 15th place finish here in 2012. Noting that
he didn’t get any sleep last night, the 30-year-old father of two was “just
happy to be done.”
Behind Ritzenhein, Jason Hartmann of Boulder finished in ninth in
1:01:52, a personal best by more than a minute.
Braun, Suver Break GO! St. Louis Records
GO! St. Louis Half Marathon winners Aaron Braun and Mattie
Suver rewrote the course records on April 7. Braun, 25, an Adams State
graduate who now lives in Flagstaff, set a new course record, with a time
of 1 hour, 3 minutes, 13 seconds. On the women’s side, Mattie Suver,
25, from Colorado Springs, established a new women’s half-marathon
course record, posting a time of 1:12:22. Tera Moody, 32, from Boulder,
finished second with a time of 1:12:34. Braun and Suver both secured
the $10,000 top prize in the half-marathon. Second place finishers in
the men’s and women’s divisions both received $5,000, while third place
received $2000. In the Marathon race, Mario Macias, 31, from Manitou
Springs, was third with a time of 2:21:59.
Pikes Peak Marathon Implements Drug Testing
Organizers of the Pikes Peak Marathon and Ascent will begin
random testing for performance-enhancing drugs. This year, several runners who finish in the Top 10 in each race will be randomly selected for
testing by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). Currently,
no other trail-running events in the U.S. test for prohibited substances.
“Mountain and trail-running races continue to grow in participants
and prestige and have become an important component of competitive
running,” said Ron Ilgen, President of Pikes Peak Marathon, Inc. “It
is important that mountain running joins the ranks with road races in
ensuring that our competitors are drug free.”
It took just 3 hours and 20 minutes for the 800 spots to fill in this
year’s Pikes Peak Marathon to be held on August 18. This year’s event
serves at the USA Marathon Trail Championships, and offers the winners each $3,000, with additional money awarded for course records and
time bonuses.
High School Runners Honored
The Colfax Marathon Partnership awarded the 2013 recipients of
the High School Distance Runner Achievement Awards on Wednesday,
April 10th at the Colorado Running Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
at the Denver Athletic Club. This year’s award recipients were Niwot’s
Elise Cranny, Legacy’s Emma Gee, Ponderosa’s Eli Hemming, Fairview’s
Isabelle Kennedy, Arvada West’s Connor Lockwood, and Lyons’ Paul
Roberts.

Run a 5K
tr ai n i n g e d g e
For a seasoned
runner, doing a 5K
is like waking in the
morning and pouring
that first cup of coffee.
But to someone
coming off the couch
or attempting to run
for the first time,
it may seem like
climbing Everest.
If you read my last article about how to
get started and followed the eight week run/
walk program, you are ready to start a run-only
schedule. To achieve maximum performance,
you should improve both your endurance and
speed. You can achieve this by either running
more miles, running faster, or a combination of
both. While we all set our own “standards and
goals” when training and racing, the level of
intensity and volume may vary. But remember
that your training regime is relative to where
you are at. Don’t think that because you are not
putting in as many miles as the next person, that
you are not reaping the benefits of improving and
gaining strength.
When you train, you need to define the difference between your workouts. Running the
same route every other day and pushing harder
each time won’t gain speed and strength - the
only accomplishment you’ll achieve is “crashing
and burning”… in other words overtraining or
getting hurt.
Most runs should be at an easy or recovery
pace. Take those words literally and run an easy
pace. How fast is easy? You need to define your
own comfort level… not your running buddy’s,
especially if he is faster. Ideally, I like to refer to
these runs as “conversational,” so running at a
pace where you can hold a conversation without
getting out of breath.
You should incorporate a longish run in the
week, probably over the weekend when you can
drum up some running buddies to join in. Run
between 60-75 minutes at a comfortable pace.
Don’t get caught up in speed or distance, but
instead focus on “time on legs.” If you need to
take walk breaks, please do and use this time to
hydrate. Wear a fuel belt or carry a bottle with
your fluids to stay hydrated. Remember, this
should be an enjoyable run and not one where
you are punishing your body.
If you are out to run the 5K as fast as your legs
will carry you, as opposed to just finishing, you’ll
need to improve your speed and endurance. This
means doing some runs above that comfort zone.
There are two types of fast training you can do:
Interval – To improve speed, do this workout
at a pace faster than your race pace. Although
runners love hitting the track, for the most part,
I believe you can get just as much benefit doing a
“fartlek” (playing with fast and slow speed) done
on the roads or dirt trails, as opposed to hurling
yourself around a track and running the risk of
getting hurt. A great fartlek workout is doing a
ladder: 1 minute fast/1 minute easy/2 minutes
May/June 2013
fast/2 minutes easy/3 minutes fast/3 minutes
easy/2 minutes fast/2 minutes easy/1 minute fast.
Take 2 minutes easy after the first set. Repeat this
twice. Run the minutes faster than the twos and
the twos faster than the threes. Work on being
more controlled on the way up the ladder and
then get faster on the way down. Make sure you
run really easy on the recovery so that the fast
segments are done hard.
Tempo – Here we are working on running at
a consistent pace and helping build speed and
strength while developing your anaerobic or lactate threshold, which is critical for running faster.
To get started with tempo runs, start out with
5-10 minutes of easy running to warm up, then
go straight into 15-20 minutes of running about
10-15 seconds per mile slower than your 10K
pace, and finish up with 5-10 minutes of cooling
down. If you’re not sure what your 10K pace is,
run at a pace that feels “comfortably hard.”
There’s so much to remember now that you are
a runner. Two important things which should
always be in your regime are: stretching and
strength training. When you do those “harder”
workouts, make sure you do some stretching
once you’ve warmed up. It does not have to take
30 minutes to stretch, but make sure you stretch
out the quads/hamstrings/calves - all the muscle
groups you’ll engage during the workout.
Having good upper body strength will go a
long way in helping when you start to labor at
the end of a workout or race. Working on core
strength is sufficient if time is an issue and can
be done in 20-25 minutes and three times in
the week (Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday). If you
have the time to hit the weight room, work on
building strength and not extra muscle… light
weights with more repetitions rather than pumping heavy iron.
In closing, don’t forget to rest. You cannot train
hard if you are not well rested. If you are running
four to five times a week, make sure those two off
days are used appropriately. Enjoy that first 5K
race and before long you’ll be thinking, ”I need
more of a challenge, let’s do a 10K!”

NUTRITION advantag e
Why can’t I simply
lose a few pounds?
Dieting myths and gender differences
Despite their
apparent leanness,
too many runners
are discontent
with their body
fat. All too often,
I hear seemingly
lean marathoners
express extreme
frustration with
their inability to
lose undesired
bumps and
bulges.
“Am I the only runner who has ever gained
weight when training for a marathon?”
“Why does my husband lose weight when he
starts running and I don’t?”
“For all the exercise I do, I should be pencil-thin.
Why can’t I simply lose a few pounds?”
Clearly, weight loss is not simple and often includes debunking a few myths. Perhaps this article
will offer some insights that will lead to success with
your weight loss efforts.
Myth: You must exercise in order to lose
body fat.
To lose body fat, you must create a calorie deficit. You
can create that deficit by
1) exercising, which improves your overall health
and fitness, or
2) eating fewer calories.
Even injured runners can lose fat, despite a lack
of exercise. The complaint “I gained weight when I was
injured because I couldn’t run” could more correctly be
stated “I gained weight because I mindlessly overate
for comfort and fun.”
Adding on exercise does not equate to losing body
fat. In a 16-week study, untrained women (ages 18 to
34) built up to 40 minutes of hard cardio or weight
lifting three days a week. They were told to not change
their diet, and they saw no changes in body fatness.
Creating a calorie deficit by eating less food seems
to be more effective than simply adding on exercise
to try to lose weight.
Runners who complain they “eat like a bird”
but fail to lose body fat may simply be underreporting their food intake. A survey of female
marathoners indicated the fatter runners underreported their food intake more than the leaner
ones. Were they oblivious to how much they
actually consumed? Or were they too sedentary
in the non-exercise hours of their day?
Myth: If you train for a marathon or triathlon, surely your body fat will melt away.
Wishful thinking. If you are an endurance athlete who
complains, “For all the exercise I do, I should be pencilthin,” take a look at your 24-hour energy expenditure.
Do you put most of your energy into exercising, but
then tend to be quite sedentary the rest of the day as
you recover from your tough workouts? Male endurance
May/June 2013
athletes who reported a seemingly
low calorie intake did less spontaneous activity than their peers in the
non-exercise parts of their day. You
need to keep taking the stairs instead of
the elevators, no matter how much you
train. Again, you should eat according
to your whole day’s activity level, not according to how hard you trained that day.
Myth: The more miles you run,
the more fat you will lose.
Often, the more miles you run, the
hungrier you get and 1) the more you
will eat, or 2) the more you believe you
“deserve” to eat for having survived
the killer workout. Unfortunately, rewarding yourself with a 600-calorie
cinnamon roll can quickly erase in a
few minutes the 600-calorie deficit
you generated during your workout.
The effects of exercise on
weight loss are complex and
unclear - and depend on the
24-hour picture. We know
among people (ages 56-78)
who participated in a vigorous walking program, their
daily energy needs remained
about the same despite adding
an hour of exercise. How could
that be? The participants napped
more and were 62% less active the
rest of their day. Be sure to pay attention to your whole day’s activity level. One
hour of running does not compensate for a
sedentary lifestyle.
Myth: You should run six days a week
to lose weight.
Research suggests exercising four times a week
might be better for weight control than six times a
week. A study with sedentary women (ages 60 to 74)
who built up to exercising for 40 minutes of cardio
and weights suggests those who did four workouts
a week burned about 225 additional calories in the
other parts of their day because they felt energized.
The group that trained six times a week complained
the workouts not only took up too much time, but
also left them feeling tired and droopy. They burned
about 200 fewer calories in the non-exercise parts
of their day. Yes, they were ages 60 to 74, but the
info might also relate to you?
Myth: Couples who run together, lose
fat together.
Not always. In a 16-month study looking at exercise
for weight loss, the men lost 11.5 pounds and the
women maintained weight, even though they did
the same amount of exercise. In another study, men
who did an 18-month marathon training program
reported eating about 500 more calories per day and
lost about five pounds of fat. The women reported
eating only 60 more calories, despite having added
on 50 miles per week of running. They lost only
two pounds.
What’s going on here? Well, a husband who
adds on exercise will lose more weight than his
wife if he’s heftier and thereby burns more calories
during the same workout. But, speaking in terms
of evolution, Nature seems protective of women’s
role as child bearer, and wants women to maintain
adequate body fat for nourishing healthy babies.
Hence, women are more energy efficient. Obesity
researchers at NY’s Columbia University suggest
a pound of weight loss in men equates to a deficit of about 2,500 calories, while women need a
3,500-calorie deficit. No wonder women have a
tougher time losing weight then do men....
The bottom line
If you are running to lose weight, I encourage you
to separate exercise and weight. Yes, you should run
for health, fitness, stress relief, and most importantly, for enjoyment. (After all, the E in exercise
stands for enjoyment!) If you run primarily to burn
off calories, exercise will become punishment for
having excess body fat. You’ll eventually quit running - and that’s a bad idea. (A better idea is to
seek personalized help by meeting with a local
sports dietitian. Use the referral network at www.
SCANdpg.org.)
Instead of focusing just on exercise as the key
to fat loss, pay more attention to your calorie intake.
Knocking off 100 calories a day from your evening
snacks can theoretically result in 10 pounds of fat
loss in a year. One less cookie a day seems simpler
than hours of sweating...?

2013 Guide to Clubs,
Coaches and Camps
R
unning is a difficult sport. It requires time and energy to achieve a certain level of fitness. Sometimes you can get caught on a plateau or fall behind in your training due to injury, lack of motivation or both. And sometimes, life can just get in the way. If you currently find yourself lacking direction in your running, maybe it is time for you to join a group, find a coach, or attend a camp.
Clubs
Clubs are usually non-profit organizations that produce events
and meet for group workouts. Members receive discounted
entry into club events as well as discounts at specialty stores.
Some clubs produce a newsletter that is included in the yearly
dues.
Coaches
Coaches can offer a wide range of services from group training to individualized workouts. Some offer complete individual
schedules and online coaching. Some coaches offer their services through a training group while others simply offer advice
over the phone or email.
Training Groups
Training groups are similar to clubs, but without the event production. Most training groups also provide coaching for specific
event distances. Some training groups meet a couple of times
per week for group workouts. A few training groups even have
large contingents that travel together to different events.
Camps
Camps can be a great way to jump start your training. There are
camps for all different age groups, from teens to adults. These
camps usually last anywhere from three days to a week and are
held on location in various parts of the state.

th e fast l an e
fernando
cabada
By Bobby Reyes
I
t’s early in the morning on January
1, 2013, and the town of Boulder, Colorado is still asleep. Snow and ice
coat the landscape as the sun rises
steadily to the east, illuminating the
Flatirons in an orange glow. Many of
Boulder’s athletes are nursing hangovers with a day off or an easier run.
A lone pair of footsteps taps lightly
along Marshall Road, however, just
to the south of town.
May/June 2013
The figure is tall and dark, and he powers off his toes, taking silky,
efficient strides as he glides effortlessly. His cadence never changes as he
consistently clips off 5-minute miles. He’s focused and determined, and
he’s just 12 days away from the Houston Marathon. The figure isn’t short
on sleep, or working out through a hangover; Fernando Cabada did not
go out on New Year’s Eve.
Not only did he not go out, but he avoided alcohol entirely, as the
new Fernando Cabada exudes a focus unlike any other previous versions
of himself. It’s been a long year since the Olympic Trials, where the then
un-sponsored Cabada PR’d in 2:11:53, and placed seventh in one of the
fastest Olympic Trials marathons in U.S. history. The year saw a variety
of new things in Cabada’s life: extended time off from running, moving
to North Dakota to work 10-hour days, and a new sponsor.
He also said goodbye to his 20s, as he celebrated his 30th birthday
in London. 2012 was a year of enlightenment for Cabada after spending
much of 2011 surviving by racing on the roads and living paycheck to
paycheck. The realities he knew as a professional runner were slipping out
Photography By Andrew McClanahan / photorun
the window, and he was faced with difficult decisions.
Even after his Olympic Trials performance, sponsors still weren’t
knocking at his door, and the decision to search for a real job became his
reality. “After the Marathon Trials, I figured that running 2:11 and placing seventh, I should be able to get a contract,” Cabada said. “Well, that
didn’t happen.”
Hanging on by a whim and after nearly two months off of training,
Cabada flew to London as a hired pacer in April. The talented Cabada
managed to do his job, leading the sub-2:12 group while running a
1:05:43 through the half-marathon in challenging weather. Still, he was
having trouble making ends meet and coming to grips with the growing
truths of being an unsponsored professional runner. With the lack of
financial support, along with a nagging hamstring injury, Cabada took an
offer to move to North Dakota and supervise a hotel cleaning crew.
“I didn’t see myself getting any better at running, and I was tired of
struggling,” Cabada said. “I started to get really depressed and question
the whole running thing.” The idea of retirement was becoming a recurring theme in his mind. In May, Cabada packed his bags and drove to
North Dakota.
With a job and a steady paycheck waiting for him, the transition
seemed complete. “I needed a new a focus,” he said. “It was time to be
a man and make some money.” Cabada wouldn’t just be cashing in for
himself; he would also help support his mother back home. “I told my
mom I’d buy the biggest house for her and the family.”
As the consistent paychecks came in, Cabada began to realize that
the fire inside him hadn’t died. It had been hiding out in the shadows of
his heart. As a supervisor, Cabada racked in $27 per hour and worked
10-hour days, “You would think that would’ve made me happy,” he said.
“On the outside it looked like it, but I was dying on the inside.”
Cabada passed the time by coating his desires with whisky, but
even the alcohol couldn’t suppress the flame that was beginning to burn
brighter then ever before. The questions all runners face began to haunt
him, and Cabada knew he wasn’t done yet.
“What I couldn’t forget is how much I’d regret it if I were to quit
now,” he said. Ghosts of old races and the gravity of the “what-if ” game
toyed with his mind, taunted him and urged him to come back. At 30
years old with seven NAIA National Championships, three USATF National Road Championships, one American record, and a 2:11 marathon
to his name, he was finding that he yearned for more.
Despite an ailing hamstring, Cabada began jogging four miles a
day after work, “I was running a 7:30 mile pace, and it was bringing the
biggest smile to my face,” he said. From then on, he knew what he had
to do. There were no more questions, only answers. “I didn’t care if I had
to live with my mom for the rest of my days as a professional runner,”
Cabada said. “Most of all, I want to represent my country one more time
before I call it quits.” So he packed his bags once again and headed back
to Boulder.
On the Front Range, Cabada returned to the grind he knew so
well, and life began to click again. With a stopwatch on hand, Cabada’s
coach and mentor, Brad Hudson, was ready to whip him back into shape.
Despite his understanding of Cabada’s move to North Dakota, Hudson
was relieved for his pupil to return.
“I was very happy [that he returned], one of the things I want
people to see is how good he really is,” Hudson said. “The unique
relationship between Cabada and Hudson could almost be considered
a collaboration. “I understand he needs to make his own decisions,” Hudson said. With such a talent, Hudson’s guidance and mentoring is more
effective than your typical coach-athlete setup, and it’s working.
“Brad is one the best people I have in my life,” Cabada said. Similar
to the Pre-Olympic Trials mindset, the hungry Cabada had to return to
training and racing as though his life depended on it, chasing paychecks
on the roads. “Brad knows I have to race, and knows my mentality.”
Armed with one of the best coaches in the country, Cabada also
earned a contract with locally owned and Boulder-born Newton Running, “I wanted to do things a bit different this time, and couldn’t do
things on my own anymore,” he said. The support he needed was fitting
into place.
Cabada’s fresh start came with a new outlook. “Before, I would get
fueled by the people who doubted me, for years I did this,” he said. “I
paid attention to the wrong crowd then, I focused too much on the negative, and it blinded me from all the positive.”
Despite his former perspectives, Cabada’s talents couldn’t be denied,
May/June 2013
th e fast l an e
although his passion for the sport would force
him to alter his approach to one that would
keep his hunger and his intensity in line with
each other on stable grounds.
“I run for many reasons now, not just
myself,” Cabada said. “I run for the poor kid,
the one without confidence, for the kid raised
by a single parent, or the kid who gets picked
on. I run for all the people who struggled in life
at some point, and who were born into a life
already down.”
His new approach has already taken him
to new heights. In December, Cabada raced
the Costa Rica International Marathon. It was
yet another training run in preparation for the
Houston Marathon, but he entered with the
intention of setting a course record. That would
entail running under 2:27 — not a meager goal,
but for the talented Cabada, easily within the
realm of possibility.
Racing in his all-black Team Alchemy
gear provided by Newton, Cabada crossed the
line unfazed, in 2:19:27, crushing the 17-year
old record. Similar to those 4-mile runs at 7:30
pace nearly half a year ago in the hills of North
Dakota, the joy of feeling the air brush across
his cheeks while he ran brought a giant smile to
his face as he crossed the finish line. The return
of Fernando Cabada was well under way.
The passion and the zeal of the new
Cabada buzzed from workout to workout as
he began stringing together new goals, always
pushing the pace and eliminating the ghosts
of his past. The focus that came attached to his
May/June 2013
attitude even kept him indoors
and sober on a night that nearly
all of his friends would be kicking
back and downing a few tequila
shots. Cabada, ever the socialite,
ironically spent New Years Eve
quietly in his home, preparing for
a workout the next morning.
“There is a time for just
about everything in life,” Cabada
said. “Time to drink, time to
work hard, and time to sleep. I’ve
come to learn to have a pretty
good feel on when to do things.”
And with Houston just 13 days
later, Cabada knew it was time
for sleep.
Just as it seemed the stitching was coming together and
the new Cabada would complete
his official comeback on the
marathon scene, disaster would
strike with a hint of irony. Less
than two weeks before he would
toe the starting line in his return
to Houston, the city where he ran
his PR over a year ago, he caught
the flu. “It made me stay in bed
for a couple of days, and I couldn’t
move,” he said. In the final week
of his preparations, when his body
would yearn for time to absorb
the hard workouts like a sponge
and prep for the battle ahead, it
was forced to continue pumping
hard, fighting the infection. Still,
the new Cabada continued to be
optimistic.
“I was still hopeful I could
pull off a decent marathon performance, I
never gave up hope,” he said. As it would go,
the stars wouldn’t align, not just yet for the
eager Cabada, as his body would be weary from
fighting all week. “The night before the race,
I couldn’t sleep a wink, I felt like something
was stopping me from running this race, it just
wasn’t meant to be.”
The willful Cabada would make a go for
it anyway, toeing the line and ready to give it
everything he had. “The race was a nightmare,
like when you dream you’re trying to run fast
and you just can’t,” he said. Sixteen miles into
the race, Cabada would finally realize this was
not his day.
“My heart wanted to run fast, but my legs
and body couldn’t respond,” he said. Cabada
DNF’d his first marathon ever, and for the
second time in his life.
It wouldn’t be long before Cabada would
turn his eyes towards a new light and a new
challenge: The Boston Marathon. Even before
toeing the line in Houston, the John Hancock
Financial Group had recruited Cabada for
its elite field at this year’s race in Boston. He
would run alongside the best marathoners in
U.S. history and the top three at last year’s
Olympic Trials: Ryan Hall, Meb Keflezighi and
Abdi Abdirahman.
“This is one of the most prestigious marathons in the world,” Cabada said.
In the last month, however, Cabada’s
hopes of running with those three legends were
dashed when the trio pulled out of Boston for
different reasons: Hall because of a strained
quad, Meb with a bad calf and Abdirahman
with the flu.
“When I got the invitation to run Boston,
I got scared, and I hesitated, because I knew
this was it.” Here was the chance for him to
show the world who the new Fernando Cabada
is. The Cabada who nearly retired last spring,
took a real job and worked 10-hour days, the
Cabada who would launch a comeback off
4-mile runs at 7:30 pace.
The new Cabada embraced the challenge
and looked to pounce on this moment, as he
saw his destiny begin to unfold in front of him.
“I questioned if I was ready, and the answer: I
was now, more than ever.”
Cabada knew who he’d face at Boston. He
knew their credentials as well as he knows his
own. Unlike some of his competitors, he doesn’t
have an underwater treadmill, he doesn’t train
on an Alter G-Machine, or have a six-figure
contract. He lives at 8,000 feet outside Boulder,
deep within the pine trees with mountainous
views, and he trains twice a day and pushes on
with the passion of a man who loves everything
about what he does. He might not have all the
high-tech gear like other professionals, or the
funds to travel the world whenever he pleases,
but he has an intensity and heart unique only
to him.
“I don’t run to get rich, I will run even
if I’m barely making it,” he said. “I won’t quit
until I know I can’t get any faster.”
It’s been a long year for Cabada. He PR’d
in the marathon for the first time in nearly
six years, took two months off, spent his 30th
birthday in London, moved to North Dakota,
worked 10-hour days, and moved back to
Boulder. Enlightened, he resumed training with
coach Brad Hudson, returned to the marathon
with an easy 2:19 win in course-record fashion,
struggled in the Houston Marathon with the
flu, and then put his eyes on Boston. He had
once thought that the sun had dipped behind
the Flatirons and was slowly setting on his
running career. As the shadows stretched out
across the plains, he found himself searching
for light in the dark. Little did he know, the sun
was still high in the sky, and all he had to do
was take off his sunglasses.
When the sun rose over Boston, Cabada
wasn’t thinking of the doubters or the sponsors
who passed him by after numerous national titles or stellar performances. He wasn’t thinking
of missed opportunities or failed races. He was
thinking of those who have struggled in life,
and how his performance could inspire them to
pull themselves up — as he’d done for himself.
He was thinking of those 4-mile runs at 7:30
pace in the North Dakota hills after work, and
the smile that they brought to his face.
It’s not about the contracts, the paydays or
making right of what was wrong. For Fernando
Cabada, it’s about all the joy and woe that
comes with a 26.2-mile footrace. When he
sprinted down Bolyston Street near the finish
line in Boston, the smile on his face will only
be a glimmer of the journey, a tiny glimpse of
the evolution of Fernando Cabada.
Editor’s note: Cabada finished 16th at Boston
in 2:18:23.

10
ways
to bounce back
after a
marathon
By Jessica Griffiths
A
fter running a grueling 26.2
miles, you’ve done it! Your
spring marathon is under
your belt. You’ve reached incredible success and feel fabulous.
But before you start planning your
next race, there are several things
to consider. As a marathoner,
you need to pay close attention
to your recovery after the race so
you don’t injure yourself. To feel
better, faster, follow this advice.
1
2
Eat. Hit the post-race party and eat!
You will want to eat and drink something within 30 minutes of finishing
your marathon. Take in both carbohydrates and proteins to replenish your
used energy stores.
Ice. Ice sore muscles and aching joints. Aim for 15 minutes per
session, for as long as your legs hurt.
If you can handle it, take a frigid
plunge in an ice bath. Avoid sitting
in a hot tub or bath until the pain has gone
away, since the heat will increase inflammation and will be counter-productive to
recovery.
May/June 2013
3
4
5
Walk. Take a short stroll on
marathon night. I know it seems
hard to imagine walking around after
running 26 miles, but it really helps.
Then do some gentle leg stretches.
Stretch. The day after the
marathon, once again warm up your
muscles enough to safely stretch
them. The warm up can be an easy
bike ride, short swim or a walk.
Massage. Arrange for a gentle,
post-event massage. A massage
two hours after finishing the race
will help to flush out the metabolic
waste products that built up in your
muscles during the race. But that might not
fit into your schedule, especially if you’re traveling. Even scheduling a post-race massage a
few days after your marathon will help.
6
Recover. Focus on recovery
the week after your marathon, not
training for your next event. Your
muscles have taken a beating and you
don’t want to get injured by doing
too much, too soon. Take it easy and run no
more than 25 percent of your average, premarathon miles.
7
8
9
10
Trails. If you love to run so much
that you can’t wait to get training for
your next race, stay off the sidewalks.
Try hitting the trails or running
on other soft surfaces to minimize
impact on already sore muscles and joints.
Slack. During the month following the marathon, ramp up your
mileage gradually and avoid long
runs and speed work during the early
recovery phase.
Goals. Create post-marathon race
goals, whether it is a 5K or your next
marathon, in order to stay motivated
to keep fit.
RICE. “Feeling sore after
a marathon is normal; but
pain and swelling are the
body’s ways of indicating
that something is wrong,”
says Brian Halpern, M.D., sports medicine
physician and author of Men’s Health Best
Sports Medicine Handbook. “The best way to
handle almost every sports injury is the RICE
method, which stands for Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation.”

in May to shock and awe the track community apparently never occurred to Silver Creek’s Valarie
Allman. Last year’s 4A state discus champion and
record-setter (164’0”) wasted no time in shattering
her state record at her first meet of the year, with
a toss of 180’1” at the Thornton Early Bird Invitational on March 13. She then proceeded to stretch
that mark further three days later with a 183’3”
throw at the Runner’s Roost of Fort Collins meet.
Before the month was over, she threw for 184’2” at
the Texas Relays, achieving the sixth-longest U.S.
high school throw of all-time.
“The competition was really strong and I
think that pushed me a lot,” said Allman just before
heading to California for the Arcadia meet. “The
energy at the UT facility was amazing. I got to
meet (Olympic athletes) Michelle Carter and Trey
Hardee and got to see how down-to-Earth they
are.” Allman’s nerves got the best of her on her first
throw which was a mere 138 feet, but that served
as motivation to achieve her mammoth second
throw.
“I definitely wasn’t expecting it (the state
record) because of how unpredictable the training
conditions can be in springtime in Colorado,” said
Allman. “The difference has been the work inside
and outside of the ring with my coach (Brian Gunnarson). It’s definitely a process and it took me a
while to adjust to, but now I’m starting to get the
hang of it to get me to move forward. Last year,
I was more of a rotational thrower, and this year
we’re working on developing the energy moving
linearly across the ring, and getting to the front
with a lot more energy and power. It takes a lot
of time and a lot of trial and error.” Allman also
credits her past experience as a dancer for helping
with her footwork across the discus ring.

hurdles at

Invitational.
“My goal is taking it one meet at a time
and gain experience before moving to the collegiate level,” said Allman, who has committed to
Stanford. “I’m trying to build some consistency in
the 180s and hopefully break into the 190’ range.
Coach Gunnarson says the distance will come if
my technique comes together. I trust him wholeheartedly. He knows his stuff and he pushes to my
boundaries and I absolutely love it. I 100 percent
believe that he’s the reason I’m having the success
I’m having.”
Palmer’s Ben Goodman also has taken
aim at a state mark. The Missouri-bound senior,
third in the 800 meters at last year’s state meet,
blazed to a spectacular 1:55.85 at Pueblo Centennial’s Banana Belt Invitational on March 16. He
then boldly declared that he wants to break the
5A state record of 1:51.75, set only last year by
Monarch’s Kirk Webb, now running for Penn.
That meet also featured a pair of distance
stars going head-to-head in the boys 3200 meter
run, with 4A State cross country runner-up Bailey Roth of Coronado dueling Rampart’s Tucker
Hamilton. Roth prevailed in a very fast earlyseason time of 9:36.89, just a fraction off his PR,
with Hamilton, committed to Brown University
next year, less than two seconds behind, the two
quickest times by far in Colorado by spring break.
As opposed to 2012, when many observ-
ers had virtually conceded the distance crowns
to leaders like Webb and Dakota Ridge’s Danny
Carney, the boys’ competition is tightly-packed
this season. Roth will have stiff challenges in
4A from Durango’s Joe Maloney and Thompson
Valley’s Daniel Lara, who faced off in the 1600
meters at the Valor Christian Invitational, won
by the Weber State-bound Maloney in 4:26.45,
just more than a second ahead of Lara. The 5A
boys have Alex Brudzinski of Cherry Creek leading the way after he posted a solid 4:23.68 time
at the Centennial League Spring Break meet on
March 28. Andrew Walton of Mountain Vista and
Connor Lockwood of Arvada West figure to be in
the mix at the State meet as well. In 3A, Frontier
Academy’s Chibuikem Nwizu blew away the field
in the 1600 in 4:34.21 on a cold day at the Windsor Invitational on 4:34.21. Nwizu’s challengers
include Sean Ankarlo of Holy Family, who breezed
to a solid victory in the 1600 at Brighton’s John
Martinez Mercury Classic on March 20, 3A State
cross country champ Anthony Thomas of Brush,
who notched an easy early-season triumph at the
Fort Morgan Invitational on March 8, and the
always-dangerous Luke Yeager of Faith Christian.
On the other hand, if there’s anyone
who knows about nail-biting, it’s Niwot’s Elise
Cranny. Ever since the junior pulled off a stunning
come-from-behind, split-second victory at last fall’s
4A State cross country meet, she has been on an
amazing streak of stellar performances. Certainly
the highlight may be her meet-record 4:40.62 mile
at the New Balance Nationals indoor meet at the
Armory in New York, beating a star-studded field,
including outkicking two-time defending champion Hannah Meier of Michigan by just 1/3 of a
second.
“I knew that coming from altitude I
would have a couple of seconds, but I didn’t think
I’d run 4:40,” said Cranny about her 18-second PR,
the fifth-fastest US high school girls indoor mile
ever. “I didn’t have an exact plan since I’d never
run against such high competition. She (Meier)
knew the pace well and just pulled me (along). I
did not think that that fast a time would feel so
good.”
Through the early part of the outdoor
season, the versatile Cranny recorded the fastest
800 in the State with an unchallenged 2:18.26 at
the Mercury Classic, as well as the swiftest 3200
by a long shot in 10:44.10 that she ran at Valor
Christian four days earlier.
The girls’ sprints in Colorado are positively loaded this year, and it’s hard to know where
to start the discussion. After being crowned the
60-meter champ at the Air Force Indoor Open
on February17 in a time of 7.52, Regis Jesuit’s
versatile Ana Holland swept the 100-200 double
May/June 2013
YOUTH RUNNING
at the Aurora City Championships on March 16,
posting the state’s best early-season 100 and 200
meter times (11.88 and 24.53), both just off of her
PRs.
Valor Christian’s MaryBeth Sant made
her statement as one of the best sprinters in the
country, not just in high school, when she sprinted
to a 7.36 second clocking in the 60 meters at the
USA Indoor Track and Field Championships on
March 3 in Albuquerque, good for eighth-place.
This followed the 7.30 she ran at the Tony Wells
Memorial meet on Jan. 27, the 11th-fastest U.S.
high-school time ever. The 5’1” senior is the defending 4A state champ in the 100 and 200 meters
with an eye toward breaking the state marks in
those events before she runs collegiately for Oregon.
Her longer-term goal is Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
Not to be outdone this winter, Dior Hall
blasted to the second-fastest all-time US mark,
8.17 seconds, in the 60-meter hurdles at the Air
Force Open, a mere .01 off of the record. The junior, running for George Washington, had a very
busy winter traveling to numerous indoor meets
to makeup for having to scratch herself from last
year’s State track meet. Aside from the 100 meter
hurdles, Hall is also a serious threat to score big
points at this year’s State in the 200, where she
has a PR of 24.27 seconds, and in the triple jump,
where she has leaped 37’10¼”.
Former teammate Chyna Ries, who was
Anthony Thomas
of Brush leading
the 1600 meter run
at the Fort Morgan
Invitational.
injured and also was unable to run at State last year,
has transferred to Denver East. With PRs of 11.77
in the 100, 24.40 in the 200, and 20’5¾” in the long
jump, Ries will be solidly in the mix after sitting out
the mandatory half-season transfer penalty. The
junior displayed her form with a 7.55 in the 60 at
the Brooks PR Invitational in Seattle on February
24 in a heat won by Sant in 7.47 seconds.
Although she’s not tall, adding to the
crowded field of standout sprinters is Smoky Hill’s
Zainab Sanni, who ran a 60-meter PR of 7.47 at
the New Balance Nationals, qualifying her for the
finals and good for fourth-place. She ran the same
time in taking third-place at the Simplot Games
in Pocatello, Idaho in February.
Although Rhianna Williams of Fossil
Ridge dabbles in the sprints, she is sure to be the
favorite to repeat for the 5A 400 meter State title,
after being second to only Missy Franklin in terms
of state swimming titles this past winter.
While the Colorado sprint boys didn’t
make as much noise this winter as the girls, Alex
Mead made sure he was heard from. The Mead
senior was runner-up in the 60 meters at Simplot
in 6.91 seconds, and won the 200 there in 21.70
seconds, just a hair off of his outdoor PR. The

lead in the 800
meters at Brighton’s
John Martinez
Mercury Classic.
May/June 2013
defending state 3A 100 and 200 meter champ
posted a 6.84-second PR in winning the USATFColorado Indoor Championships on February 2.
The boys’ top sprinters are fairly well-balanced given the likes of Mead, Tanner Townsend
of Castle View, Troy Johnson of Berthoud, Alex
Inscoe of Golden, Jordan Charles of Grandview,
Greg Popylisen of Valor Christian, and Marcus
Harris of Eaglecrest, all of whom had run 11.03 or
better in the 100 meter dash through late March.
Townsend, who was third at last year’s State meet
in the 100, had already run his PR of 10.74 at the
Broomfield Shootout to claim the fastest time in the
state this year. Johnson, runner-up in State 4A in
the 100 and 200 last year, blasted a 22.15 200 the
first week of the season that remained well ahead
of the rest in the state into early April.
Obviously, the early-season weather
didn’t appreciably hinder these Colorado tracksters
too much, but things should really heat up along
with the temperatures heading into May.

jordan jones, rory fraser and patrick rizzo
(L to R) lead the runnin’ of the green.
Runners thanked their lucky stars on
Sunday morning, March 10 that the Runnin’ of
the Green 7K was taking place that morning
instead of Saturday. The foot of snow that fell
on Denver quickly began to melt under a warm
Colorado sun, and while there was a chilly
nip in the air, thousands of event participants
enjoyed the clear course and sunny post-race
party in downtown Denver.
Boasted as the largest 7K in the world, as
well as the Race of Year by Colorado Runner,
the Runnin’ of the Green welcomed over 3,500
participants to its 25th anniversary. Runners of
every ability, as well as their furry friends, took
to the streets of Denver for a somewhat challenging course.
In the men’s 7K race, Runner’s Roost’s
Rory Fraser of Boulder grabbed top honors
with a speedy finishing time of 21:29. Mizuno’s Patrick Rizzo wasn’t far behind, finishing
in second place in 21:52. Rounding out the top
three was Golden’s Jordan Jones in 22:32.
The women’s race saw Runners Roost’s
Kelsey Martin of Denver take the win in 25:41,
with second place finisher Linnabah Snyder of
the Boulder Running Company team coming
in at 26:18. Trail running phenom Brandy
Erholtz of Evergreen took to the streets and
showed she had some speed with a third place
finishing time of 27:18.

Palmer, Mitchell Win Fight For Air Climb
On a blizzard of a morning in Denver
on February 24, more than 1,300 took to the
stairs of Republic Plaza for the Fight for Air
Climb hosted by the American Lung Association. Protected by the warmth and cover of the
tallest building in the Rocky Mountain West,
participants were set off in waves that spanned
from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m.
Climbers took off in 8-second intervals
and climbed 56 floors and 1,098 steps to reach
the stunning views of Denver’s skyline. Upon
completing the climb, individuals took the
elevator back to the lobby for food, fun and
May/June 2013
interactive booths. Participants could climb as
a team or as an individual, but everyone had
to complete the full climb and meet the $65
fundraising minimum. Prizes were awarded in a
variety of categories including fastest climbers,
highest fundraisers, and best costume.
Jess Palmer of Indian Hills, CO defended
his 2012 title successfully with a finishing time
of 6:29, bettering his 2012 time by 15 seconds.
Rob Kosick of Denver followed behind in second in a time of 6:35, with third place finisher
Alan Obye of Boulder finishing in 6:57.
2012 second place finisher Melanie
several minutes shy of the
course record time 1:05:33
set in 1997. First place in the
wheelchair race went to Russell
McConahay of Salem, UT
with an astoundingly quick
time of 54:27. Marty Wacker,
42 of Grand Junction, who
consistently competes in the
Canyonlands Half Marathon,
entered into the Five Mile Run
this year, winning in 27:58.
The women’s results were
close again this year. Kim
Dobson, 28 of Grand Junction, won the women’s overall
Half Marathon with a time of
1:20:32. Kim finished just 20
seconds ahead of Autumn Ray,
the 2012 Thelma & Louise
champion from Tucson, AZ.
Jana Peale, 19 of Westminster
College, took first in the Five
Mile Run with a time of 34:07.
The overall Masters (40
years and older) winner was
Walter Brown, 41 of South
Jordan, UT with a time of
1:15:41. The Sheri Haymore
Female Masters award went to
Julie Crossley, 44 of Pleasant
Grove, UT in 1:30:28.
The first Moab runners
to finish the half marathon
included Travis Holtby, 25,
with a time of 1:21:31 and
Lauren Atkinson, 30, with a
time of 1:37:26. Other notable
local runners included a trio
in the Five Mile Run from the
Grand County High School
track team. Jacob Francis and
Jackson Knowles, finished
together with a time of 30:32,
and Joseph Andrew finished
35 seconds behind them.
Supporting the thousands
of runners was a volunteer
and staff corps of over 450
individuals. “This event
wouldn’t happen without the
incredible support we get from
our dedicated volunteers,” said
Race Director Ranna Bieschke.
As always, extra effort was
made this year to support
the event’s full transition to
compostable cups at every race
location. Cups were collected
into green compostable bags
and transported to a commercial composting facility in
Grand Junction, CO. All other
waste was sorted into trash,
recyclables, and conventional
compostables.

An overcast spring morning, a runner’s dream, played a
large part in making the 38th
annual Canyonlands Half
Marathon and Five Mile Run
an enjoyable experience for
runners and spectators alike.
Despite ideal conditions, no
course records were broken.
There were many fast runners
including participants from
Westminster College and Dine
College. An impressive 3,189
runners completed the Half
Marathon with an additional
824 finishers completing the
Five Mile Run. The Five Mile
Run was more popular than
usual, with more runners than
in the previous five years. “We
had a lot of people switch to
the Five Mile at the last minute,” said Race Director Ranna
Bieschke. “I think the downgrade can largely be attributed
to the cold temperatures that
so many places experienced
this winter affecting runners’
training regimens.”
The overall winner of the
Half Marathon was 26-yearold Patrick Smyth, a Westminster College track coach.
Patrick finished ahead of the
pack with a time of 1:09:55,
Mitchell of Denver took top honors in the
women’s division with a climb time of 8:31,
bettering her 2012 time by 14 seconds. Anna
Kraus took second in 8:48 with 45-year old
Steph Popelar of Parker rounding out the top
three in 8:51.
The American Lung Association has been
fighting for the right to breathe for years, and
the Fight for Air Climb is just one of their
major fundraisers to help those in need. This
year’s goal is to raise $450,000 for the programs
and services of ALAC.

The Weatherman was gracious again as the
conditions were perfect for the 35th running of
the Spring Runoff. The wind even cooperated
by waiting until afternoon to blow. Combine
those elements with record entries, a festive
atmosphere and high quality performances and
this year’s rendition proved once again why this
event is considered the real start of the race
season in Southern Colorado. As has been the
trend in the recent past, the old race is producing
a number of very young winners proving that
running in Pueblo and surrounding areas is in
terrific shape.
As always, the participants were a high
energy, color clad group from toddlers to
octogenarians and when the gun went off so did
they (at all different levels of speed). The 5K and
3M walk races left first and 15 minutes later out
went the 10K and 10M racers. The first person
across the line was 15-year-old Michael Duran
of Pueblo in a 5K winning time of 17:10 (try
running that pace sometime) followed by the
women’s division winner, 14-year-old Katie Till
of Canon City in 20:52. Our own Paul Koch
took the men’s master division title in 19:18
(pretty swift for 44 years old) and Renee Renn, a
very accomplished runner from Widefield, took
the ladies master division in 22:43.

For the first time in many years, the 3M
walk was a competitive race and Lynn Foss of
Pueblo West was the first across and overall
women’s division winner in 37:37 with Ron
Shepherd of Rocky Ford taking the men’s title in
39:07. Donna Capporicci, third across the line
took the women’s master in 39:25 and 70-yearold first timer, Gene Giordano, took the men’s
master division in 40:29.
The 10K race was dominated by a multiple
former champion and manager of Runner’s
Roost in Fort Collins, Steven Folkerts, in a
sterling time of 34:31 while late entry, Erin
Wachter of Colorado Springs, took the women’s
overall title in 42:50. The 10K masters titles went
to Ronnie Archuleta of Espanola in 38:08 and
Betsy Fisher of Ft. Collins in 45:52.
The 10 Mile race produced the most surprising winner in 14-year-old Wyatt Swanson
of the Pueblo West Cyclones track team in
a very fast time of 58:04. Returning USATF
member, Sarah Young took the women’s race in
1:07:01 (Sarah stated a few days before the race
she had a winning feeling). Colorado Springs
runners, Gerald Romero and Hope Bain, took
the masters titles in 1:05:11 and 1:12:37.

Look
at Me
Now
th e li g hte r s i d e
We’ve all heard that old philosophical question “If a
tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it,
does it make a sound?” I won’t even try to answer
this given the necessity of thereby addressing
issues of unperceived existence, the unobserved
world, and reality. My reality is that’s all well beyond my capabilities for philosophical analysis.
I don’t go much deeper than pondering what if
there were no hypothetical questions?
On first hearing the forest question, I didn’t get much past the mystery of
how’d the entire tree actually fall over by itself. However, if one were to
analogize this query to the sport of running, the question might be “If a
runner sets a personal running record in the forest and no one else is there,
did it really happen?” In our present era of social media, the answer is, “Of
course, you Twitterhead. Everyone would know within eight seconds!”
That’s because today’s runner is adept, as well as interested, in letting
everyone know about his or her wonderful running accomplishments. Social
media has not only provided terrific new verbs, including tweeting, blogging,
texting, and podcasting, but it’s also given runners the ability to quickly
disseminate their results and race photos. I may be one of the remaining
14 people in North America without a personal Facebook page, but I do
recognize the benefits of certain elements of social media. However, I’m
not the type who is compelled to let people know I finally cooked a soufflé
without it sinking, let alone communicate my great training run or race
result. If I were that runner in the woods, no one would know of the stellar
running performance unless I advised a relatively uninterested chipmunk
on the way back to my car.
Perhaps this all stems from my first marathon, which occurred when I
was 17 years old. That race was much different from today’s mega races. It
had fewer than 100 runners, about eight spectators (if you include the two
stupefied park maintenance staff wondering what in the name of insanity
we were doing), a couple of meager aid stations, and no finisher medals.
The only people aware of my performance were the ones within earshot
of the bellowing guy with the megaphone who announced the names and
times of runners as they crossed the finish line. This was well before today’s
ability to track runners by their race chip and have not only finishing times
automatically sent via cell phone texts but also various split times along the
May/June 2013
racecourse. Perhaps someday they’ll have tracking ability so that someone
following my progress might receive a more descriptive text saying, “Bottomed out at 21.3 miles. Going to be a death march from here on out. Have
pity on him. It’s not pretty.”
Certainly I shared the result of my first marathon with my immediate
family and a few close friends, but I didn’t feel compelled to broadcast it
beyond that point because the achievement was personal and internally
savored. To me, some things happen on a need-to-know basis and not everyone needs to know. I’m the type of person who is as disinclined to put a
bumper sticker on my car stating something to the effect that My 3rd Grader
Can Do Long Division as I am in putting on a Boston Marathon sticker.
I’d actually be more inclined to stick a poor result on my car and maybe
get some words of encouragement or sound advice. Maybe I can market
humbling bumper stickers, maybe one displaying the first time I figuratively
crashed and burned during a marathon. My goal of negative splits turned out
to be more like negative pits. Not far into the second half of that marathon,
I felt like my legs were laden with lead, and hallucinations entertained me
the remainder of the way. Perhaps a bumper sticker detailing my inconsistent half-marathon splits, saying 1:22+1:43=BONK! Or perhaps a decal
paraphrasing Julius Caesar, “I came. I ran. I bonked.”
I don’t need pats on the back for a good performance as much as I could
use some words of commiseration for a bad one. I know I’m in the small
minority here and that most runners are interested in displaying their
accomplishments not only in their family rooms but also on their shirts,
car bumpers, tattoos, Facebook, and blogs. And I do truly get it. It’s an
accomplishment and goal that you achieved and you want others to know
about. That’s fine, and it’s a personal choice. If you want to put on your car
a 100K sticker or a Twenty-six Point Freaking Two sticker then it’s all well
and good. Hey, Honk If You Ran a Marathon!
As I see more and more bumper stickers available at race expos, I wonder
where we draw the line regarding what types of running achievements should
be publicized. How about Grabbed a Drink at An Aid Station While Opening a Gel Packet With My Teeth and Didn’t Get Anything on My Shirt!
Maybe someday I’ll get something publicizing that I’m part of this
larger group of running nuts. Something only runners would understand.
Maybe, Got Toenails?
