We caught up to Judy Ikenberry,president of Race Central, just before sheheaded out for an event. An Olympichopeful in 1960, she still wears runningshoes and moves well despite a kneereplacement. She logs her miles on amountain bike these days. She showed me some of her company’s latest U.S.-made technology, which enables folks to track runners at events like the Boston Mar thon. The company, which she operates with her husband Dennis, managed its first event at Cal State San Bernardino in 1979. I also managed to get Sal Briguglio, one of the co-chairs of the Rancho Cucamonga Rotary Club’s Grape Stomp Triathlon, on his cell phone as he was doing his workout walk. He’s getting back in shape after a hip replacement, and, while he won’t be competing in April’s event, he might be ready for next year. Two unconnected, yet similarindividuals: active, vibrant, embracing life. “With it,” as my mom would say.
