FROM THE PRESIDENT NORM CHAMP Dear RunMinnesota Readers, Those of you that have faithfully read (there must be a couple of you) my first two president letters may have noticed a trend for advocating giving back to the organizations we support, especially MDRA. With this month’s message, I’d like to change the tact slightly and speak to some observations from the MDRA Spring race series. Lake Johanna: Boys and girls, it was cold that day. Below zero wind-chill after mid-forties 48 hours prior to the starting gun. Race Director Rob Economy adjusted the course slightly and all appreciated not finishing in the far parking lot, especially those who parked in the unplowed lot and were pushed out by fatigued runners. Always amazed what a broad breath of runners we have competing from Zane Grabau’s sub 5:30 pace to Lee Dittbenner’s total determination to finish. All races for all paces. Welcome to MDRA. MDRA 7 Mile: Continuing the challenge and progressive training theme, the seven miler increases distance and hill “opportunities.” Our utilization of Cross Of Glory Church represents another long standing tradition MDRA is so grateful for, as are our runners warming before and after the race. Seeing legendary runner Garrett Tomczak still competing was my personal highlight. A beautiful day to run. Ron Daws 25K: Anyone who does not know who Ron Daws was should run this race and curse his memory for laying out a course that tackles the Bren Road hills twice. Ron is a legend amongst MDRA and the greater Minnesota running community. An Olympic marathoner (Mexico ’68), Ron was a colorful, iconoclastic figure, who pursued our sport before Frank Shorter’s Olympic win sparked the first running boom. Ron ran when MDRA founder Pat Lanin said, “running then was a counter culture thing to do.” Perhaps running still is with obesity rates hovering at epidemic proportions and so much of our time spent in front of screens. And I did get confirmation at this year’s race: Ron ran up the hood, over the roof and off the trunk of a car that challenged a group of runners in the 60s. Tough dude. The 25K finishers can attest to Ron’s legacy of challenging us to be the best runner we can be (or die on Bren Road trying). I must say I was amazed at how many runners contacted me to check if the race was still on (recall our “last” snow storm 24 hours before the race). I cannot think of a race ever being cancelled due to weather. What would Ron say to even asking the question? Fred Kurz: The magazine will be at press before experiencing this year’s race, but it is so unique. You need to experience the start calculated to have all runner’s finish at the same time. The longest operated run in Minnesota, and sadly for your president, his last race ran. I trust 2014 will not be hampered by a snowstorm as last year’s race was (but still run). Enjoy every run!

Dear MDRA, It was a treat to have Wayne Kryduba at the recent MDRA Ron Daws 25K. The photos he took were spectacular, some of the best running photos I’ve seen from a local event. His selection of spots and the brilliant sun really made them pop. It is the kind of “value added” feature you don’t usually see in a $5.00 race (insert smiley face).

REMEMBRANCES
Barbara Ann Burhans 1931-2013
RunMinnesota recently learned of the passing of long time MDRA member and many time Runner of the Year, Barbara Burhans. Barbara was the USATF Runner of the Year a total of nine times from 1996 through the 2008 racing season. One of the highlights of her years was racing at the Get in Gear race where she often placed first or second in her division. Barbara’s daughter, Betsy Gomez, shared that her moms running dog tags stated, “Don’t tell me what I can’t do.” To honor her mother Betsy plans to start racing again. Barbara was always a regular at MDRA races and the MDRA Annual Party. She will be missed.

GEAR REVIEWS
New-to-Market Gear for 2014 BY MACKENZIE LOBBY At this winter’s Outdoor Retailer show in Salt Lake City, running and outdoor brands debuted their latest and greatest products. Lucky for us harriers, there are always new innovations and technologies to keep us excited about updating our gear. From fancy gadgets and gizmos, to fresh apparel and some of the best shoes ever available on the market, there’s much to celebrate in Spring 2014. Check out some of the highlights from the show just hitting stores this spring.
FITS Light Runner Tech ($12.99)
New Balance Boylston Short Sleeve ($54.99)
While FITS has already established its dominance in the comfort category of running socks, their new Tech model is their first fully synthetic fiber sock. Utilizing a COOLMAX/nylon blend, they will both wick moisture and control temperature on those hot summer runs. Available in bright, eyecatching colors, they are sure to be a favorite of runners going long in hot and humid conditions.
Part of New Balance’s fresh Boylston Collection, the Short Sleeve will keep you comfortable and dry via an 88 percent polyester/12 percent spandex blend. A laser cut and bonded neckline, sleeve hem and bottom contribute to the shirt’s durability and chafe-free properties. A semi-fitted design, the lightweight materials perfectly contour to your body, but still allow for plenty of easy movement on the run. The women’s version adds a bit of flare with a keyhole back cut-out adding both style and breathability.

MAY/JUNE 2014
Trigger Point Performance GRID Mini ($24.99) This handy, little roller is just 5” tall by 5.5” in diameter, making it supremely travel friendly. Utilizing Matrix Technology and Distrodensity Zones, it offers targeted massage to work out adhesions and tight muscles to restore circulation and flexibility. While other foam rollers may work just as well, none can be as easily tossed into a suitcase and taken on the road.
Osprey Rev 1.5 ($70.00) For ultra runners out on the trails for the long haul, Osprey’s latest pack, the Rev 1.5, is their sleekest yet. Featuring a Biostretch body wrap harness, the pack stays stable and snug around your body over just about any terrain. With a 1.5 liter Hydraulics LT Reservoir, you will be set for a long day out running. If you’re in need of something larger, however, Osprey has four other packs in the Rev line from which to choose.
Brooks PureProject Jacket ($135.00 for women and $160.00 for men) Making its entry onto the market as part of Brooks’ Spring 2014 line, the PureProject jacket provides a bit of warmth for chillier late spring days, as well as wind and water resistance. With 360 degrees of retro reflectivity offered via reflective thread, you’ll be seen at night without blinding people during the day. A more fashion forward option, Brooks blends both technical performance features and great design in this piece.
Altra Olympus ($130.00) Featuring its signature wide, foot shaped toebox, and zero-drop from heel to forefoot, the Olympus is sure to be one of Altra’s most popular models. Comprised of quick-dry trail mesh in the upper and a trail-specific sticky rubber outsole, they will tackle the ruts and rocks of just about any terrain you can find.
Suunto Ambit2 R ($249.00) Having made its debut in March, the Suunto Ambit2 R is a unique GPS watch aimed at runners. Building off the success of their Ambit2 S, a watch built for triathletes, this device is the perfect training partner when you’re out on the open road. In addition to stalwart features like feedback on pace and distance, you can download free apps in the App Zone on Movescount.com to customize the watch’s offerings. From tracking interval workouts, to running efficiency, to marathon time projections, there is something for every runner.
Saucony Hydralite Tank ($25.00)
Saucony Kinvara 5 ($100.00)
Perfect for summer racing and training, the Hydralite Tank lives up to it’s name. An ultra-lightweight top, it touts a breathable grid construction for the utmost in moisture management and temperature control. With strategically placed flat seams, it is comfortable and chafe-free. What’s more, Hydralite Renu is made of 50 percent recycled polyester, so you’re doing something good for both you and the environment when you sport this tank.
Following in the footsteps of the Kinvara 4, which was named “International Best Update” by Runner’s World, there are only minor changes to the fifth edition. Most notably, the upper has been redesigned with a ProLock lacing system. Both the upper and the collar lining are comprised of a new mesh that is more durable and better ventilated. At just 7.7 ounces, with a 4mm heel-to-toe offset, the updated Kinvara will continue to be a favorite among runners.
MAY/JUNE 2014

Brooks Transcend ($160.00) The latest player in the maximalist movement, the Transcend delivers 25 percent more midsole foam than Brooks’ signature BioMoGo DNA cushioning. Designed to adapt to your stride, this model still manages to afford impressive energy return and support. A unique outsole shape contributes to better dispersion of weight, no matter where you strike the ground, protecting your feet in specific pressure zones.
Hoka One One Kailua Trail ($130.00) Quickly becoming a loved brand by trail runners, in particular, the new Kailua Trail is sure to please many off-road harriers. Marked by its oversized IMEVA midsole, these shoes manage to balance supreme cushioning with a lightweight ride. If you’re looking for extra cushioning in a responsive package, this may be the shoe for you. What’s more, a breathable and smartly designed upper keep the foot comfortable in terms of both temperature and fit.

MAY/JUNE 2014
New Balance Fresh Foam 980 ($110.00) Adopting a new approach to cushioning, New Balance is debuting its Fresh Foam technology this year in the 980. Made for neutral runners, this extra plush cushioning offers a soft ride without sacrificing speed. A blend of different foams, the 980 midsole is as durable as it is comfortable. Engineered to accommodate the natural geometries of the foot, this 10 ounce trainer is a major upgrade from traditional neutral models.
Icebug Aurora BUGrip For forward thinking Minnesota runners already contemplating their next winter shoe, the Swedish brand Icebug will be unveiling the Aurora BUGrip in the fall. Uniquely designed with 19 carbide studs on the outsole of each shoe, you can confidently run on ice and snow. The studs are also small enough to be barely noticeable on pavement if you’re planning on navigating variable terrain. Marked by a Weather Shield upper, Icebug may just be the next big thing in winter running for Minnesotans.

Let the Games Begin Qualifying for the 2015 National Senior Games BY CANDY PATRIN
R
unners seem to have a different attitude than the general population when it comes to aging. While you may be slower with each passing year, there is always the prospect of changing age groups every five years, which can be an advantage. You can temporarily escape those pesky youngsters who have become your toughest competitors and, once again, go toe-to-toe with your older friends. If you happen to be among those who will reach the age of 50 by the end of 2014, there is a new challenge awaiting you. It is a chance to showcase Minnesota’s senior athletes in a national competition. The National Senior Games (NSG), a multi-sport competition to be held in Minnesota in 2015, is open to athletes age 50 and older who meet the qualification standards. Whether you are a runner, swimmer, speed walker, cyclist or
13
enjoy a list of other sports (a total of 19), it is time to get some important dates on your calendar, because you do need to qualify in 2014. But first, a little background about the NSG. The NSG have been held since 1987 and were initially organized by a group called the National Senior Olympics Organization. Formed with a vision “to promote healthy lifestyles for adults through education, fitness and sport,” the competition was first held in St. Louis, Missouri. Since then, the NSG have taken place every other year in a variety of states. It is the largest multi-sport event in the world for seniors, and 2015 will mark its fifteenth year. In 2015, it is the first time that the NSG will be held in Minnesota. In 2007, the three Convention and Visitor’s Bureaus of Minneapolis, St. Paul and Bloomington responded to a request for proposals (RFP) in order to secure the
MAY/JUNE 2014
Minnesota venue for the NSG and learned of its acceptance in 2008. A requirement of the RFP was to confirm all the venues in advance, so a lot of work has already taken place for the 2015 NSG. Here are some of the highlights of what you need to know about the NSG, including how to qualify in Minnesota Senior Games this summer.
How do I qualify for the 2015 National Senior Games? Athletes must participate and qualify in the 2014 games hosted at one of the National Senior Games Association (NSGA) sanctioned State Qualifying games. The Minnesota Senior Games, which are sanctioned by the NSGA, are being held this summer from August 1 through August 9 for all sports except the triathlon, which will be on August 17. Minnesota is an open state, meaning you do not need to be a resident of
the state to qualify here for the national games.
Which sports are included in the NSGA? Individual sports: Archery, Badminton, Bowling, Cycling, Golf, Horseshoes, Pickleball, Race Walk, Racquetball, Road Race, Shuffleboard, Swimming, Table Tennis, Tennis, Track and Field, Triathlon. Team sports: Basketball, Softball, Volleyball.
What are the qualification requirements? Some sports, such as the 5K and 10K road races, have a specific performance time factored by age group in order to qualify. Another option for these two road races is to finish in the top four places of your age group. Information about the qualification standards for all sports, as well as a list of sanctioned State Organizations and other details can be found on the NSGA website www.nsga.com.
What are the registration deadline and fees for the 2014 Minnesota Senior Games? The registration is currently open for the qualifying Minnesota Senior Games, and the deadline to register is Friday, July 11, 2014. The registration fee is $40.00, which includes up to five sports and $5.00 per each additional sport. There are some additional fees for sports such as swimming, cycling, golf and bowling. For the Minnesota Senior Game registration and pricing, visit the website www.mnseniorgames.com. Note: The July 11 date is for online registration. If sending your registration through the U.S. mail, it must be postmarked by July 5, 2014 to be accepted.
Where will the 2014 Minnesota Senior Games be held? The qualifying Minnesota Senior Games are being held at a variety
of venues in the Twin Cities area. In most cases, the qualifying venue in 2014 will not be the same venue as the 2015 NSG. As always, it is a good idea to do your own research and visit the two websites, www.nega.com and www.mnseniorgames.com, to verify the qualifications, schedule and venues of your sport(s).
What are the dates and venues for 2015 NSG to be held in Minnesota?
Is there a limit to the number of sports that you can participate in at the 2015 NSG?
What if I change age groups between the state games and the national games?
Yes. Athletes can only compete in two individual sports and two team sports at the national games. In some cases, there is more than one event in each sport. For example, the 5K and 10K road races are considered to be one sport. There is only one event in the triathlon (sprint distance), and this also counts as one sport.
For competition, the NSG will use an athlete’s age on December 31, 2015. In other words, whatever age you will reach by the end of 2015 will be the age you use for competition at the games in July.
standards this year. There will be an early registration discount available through midnight, Eastern Time, January 31, 2015. The deadline for registration for the NSG is midnight, Eastern Time, May 1, 2015. The pricing details will be available when registration opens.
The NSG will be held July 3 through 16, 2015. Visit www.nsg.com to see the venue for your particular sport. All of the events will be held within the Bloomington, Minneapolis and St. Paul boundaries.
How many competitors will there be at the 2015 NSG? Based on past interest and projections, the NSG are expected to attract about 12,000 athletes to the multi-sport competition. It’s time to spread the word about this exciting competition to your running and non-running friends who may participate in some of the other sports. You never know who will be the next NSG champion from Minnesota. Let the games begin.
When can I register for the 2015 NSG? Registration for the 2015 NSG will open in the fall of 2014 for athletes who have met the qualification

John says he doesn’t seek the publicity, but it sometimes finds him for reasons that elude him. Well, the reasons do not elude many of us that appreciate John’s contribution to trail running in Minnesota, his ability to overcome and his dedication to others.

MAY/JUNE 2014
So, what is this man’s most important role? Fatherhood. Being a father takes priority for John. His father passed away when he was young, so if anything, John feels that he probably reaches for perfection as a parent a little too much. Driving, waiting, picking up, dropping off and so on are part of the deal. Most importantly, his daughter has become a smart beautiful person with talent that John believes far exceeds his. John explains, “Emma is my greatest gift. Seeing your kid really struggle with something is hard. I realize that these growing pains, when successfully navigated, build strength, experience and provide valuable lessons and tools going forward. We try to teach our daughter to be autonomous and let her make mistakes. We want her to think for herself and make good decisions while always knowing that we have her back.”
When he was younger, he was regularly in and out of school, institutions, group homes, foster homes, lock-ups, treatment centers and court. A felon by age 14, John got sober and dropped out of high school around 10th grade. He basically did nothing from seventh grade on, however he did eventually get his General Educational Diploma (GED). John was not a jock, getting kicked out of cross country sometime earlier for selling drugs. Out of pride he never went back. Academics didn’t interest him as presented by the public school system. Most of the friends that he had been getting high, drunk and committing crimes with, were still around as well. There was really no place to fit in. Maintaining his sobriety, AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) participation, weightlifting and marathon training gave him purpose and kept him sane, sober and alive. Out of self-preservation, those things became his priority. His belief is that many of the best lessons are learned in the coldest classrooms. John throws the term “straight edge” around and believes in the message. But really, the important piece of the message is that he is clean and sober. A big part of what John strives to do in life (though he feels he frequently falls short) is to help be an example for others who are struggling with their own addictions, particularly young people, since he got clean at a young age. John added, “It is important to let younger people see that you can lead a good life, have fun, be different and kick some ass while sober.” Young John was a handful, harboring abundant energy and rage. His parents split up when he was two years old and his mom remarried. John’s step-dad for all intents and purposes was his dad. His biological father had passed away of inconclusive and controversial causes when John was 16.
John throws the term “straight edge” around and believes in the message... “It is important to let younger people see that you can lead a good life, have fun, be different and kick some ass while sober.” John is the youngest among his siblings, having older brothers and sisters. “They are all great people as are both of my parents. My mother is an amazing woman. Most of any good qualities I have, come from her,” John explains proudly. When he was young, his brothers had all detoured down less than desirable paths and John followed. From about age seven there was shoplifting, alcohol and drug abuse and vandalism. John laughs, “Hell, I got my first tattoo when I was in grade school. Once I got sober my parents were just glad that I was not high and wasn’t knocking on death’s door. They were supportive of just about anything that involved me not getting high, so expectations going forward were pretty low. From the beginning, I felt like I didn’t fit in and never minded finding my own way. Today I see it as a blessing. I am very unconventional in just about every category and I don’t particularly care what people think. I feel unbound by convention.” In his youth, his main outlet was writing poetry and prose. “I wrote prolifically. It was an outlet for a lot of pain and mental illness. I was always drawing but failed in Art. I have poor technique, and back then I did not take instruction well. I like what I like, and I scribble it out in all kinds of variations. I don’t really consider myself an artist in the traditional sense, maybe a mad scientist at best. I got into race directing so I could design shirts and have people wear my artwork. I also spent many years producing and playing music. I ran a small record label, played live shows and was involved in event production.” Once sober, it was all about
surviving. John recalls, “If I would have kept using, I would not have made it. During those weeks prior to getting sober, I was homeless in New York City and was snorting crank [called “meth” now]. I was 14 years old and didn’t have the luxury to consider much else at that time. This is when I started AA and working out. The meetings and exercise helped with my head and with the cravings calling me back to drugs and alcohol. I worked some part-time jobs, then dropped out of school, worked full time and just lived day-to-day.” John was physically very strong and could work like a dog. He worked as many hours as they could pile on. He took a job as a flight attendant, of all things, because the pay was decent and it afforded a lot of time off to spend with his daughter. After doing that for a few years John took a job doing union construction. He eventually worked his way up from being a laborer/plaster tender (one of the most physically demanding jobs in all of construction) to working the warehouse, then assistant project manager, to being an estimator/project manager and ultimately one of the top performers in the office. John was making more money than he thought possible, but he found it was not particularly fulfilling. When Emma was born, John was 19 and had few employable skills. He became obsessed with money and it’s perceived security (or lack thereof ) for about a decade. “It was like a nightmare. I felt like a hamster in a wheel. I wanted to provide security for my daughter, and later my family, and I obsessed about money and
worked myself to exhaustion,” shares John. Though the money was good, he had dug himself a hole financially, physically, emotionally and spiritually. “It was a process of letting go. But the day I decided to stop chasing money will go down as one of the great days of my life. I just up and quit. I could never come up with a good plan for doing this, so in the end, I decided it was time to jump. I figured I could grow wings on the way down. I decided I would focus on the things that I love and trust that the money would follow. Or not,” John recalls. Today he directs eight races a year under his company Rock Steady Running and makes less than minimum wage doing so. It’s a labor of love. He does graphic design, website development, commissioned artwork and works as a consultant. He works a myriad of odd jobs to get by. The last couple of years he has been apprenticing as a restoration technician and field biologist for a small ecological firm owned by one of his closest friends. He is currently working on launching the Rock Steady Running clothing line and hopes to be selling online and in retail stores by this summer. What he has learned is that money is one of the worst measuring sticks for success. He makes about the same amount now as when he was 19, but is as happy as ever. John’s wife, Cheri, went to high school with John’s older brother and his now sister-in-law, Kari. Cheri and Kari were close friends, and when they were younger they all lived together for a period of time. Cheri and John reconnected some years later when she stopped drinking and got into recovery. She has been clean and sober for 12 years. John and Cheri got married a few years after his daughter was born and have been together since then. Cheri is the most understanding wife one could have. She puts up with trips out-state to do ridiculous things, putting on events which completely disrupt “normal” life, shares John with all kinds of
male and female training partners and is a great stepmother. And most importantly, a great partner. They have a very unique relationship with a very unique understanding. “We are blessed to have each other,” John explains. When it comes to diet and nutrition, John gives into temptation and doesn’t limit what he eats. “One of the benefits of warping my metabolism with marathons and ultras for over 20 years is that I don’t gain much weight, and I don’t lose much either. Being only 34 years old doesn’t hurt either. I carry a little more body fat than my ‘competition’ but I am working on a good, healthy and realistic body image: something that is hard to come by in our current society. As far as race food, I am a loyal Hammer Nutrition guy and use a ton of their products when racing. Hammer has been very good to me personally and to our events. During post-race it is not uncommon to find me under the Golden Arches doing some rapid fat and salt replacement. I throw in some fruits and vegetables and aim for a balanced diet, frequently falling short,” John added. On race experiences, John has this to say: “Every time I run a big city marathon, I eventually come upon the slowest wheelers. I well up with tears out of gratitude. I have cried within the first five miles of just about every major marathon I have ever run. The human spirit never ceases to amaze me.” Another moving experience for John occurred years ago during the Arrowhead 135. He came across a friend from South America around mile 60 in the middle of the night. It was -25F˚ or colder. His friend was staggering, slurring his speech and was not doing well. His CamelBak had frozen, so he quit drinking. His hands were too cold, so he stopped eating. He had over-exerted himself and had not adjusted layers. Ice and snow from sweat and condensation fell out of his shell. John gave him water, hand fed him

USA INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS
I Made It On the World Indoor Championship, representing the U.S. and whether winning the race or overcoming USATF bureaucracy is the more difficult part of earning a U.S. title BY ALEX KURT
F
or Gabriele Grunewald, running at the IAAF World Indoor Championships in Sopot, Poland, in March was the reclamation of an opportunity she had earned but was nearly taken away from her. For Heather Kampf, meanwhile, the chance to run at Worlds was something of a late surprise. At the beginning of the season, the Team USA Minnesota teammates were in roughly the same boat. “If you had told them in January they were going to be on the world team and be finalists, they’d have been happy,” says Dennis Barker, the head coach at Team USA Minnesota. “But you get closer to it, and see how things are going, and your expectations change.” Expectations were high for Grunewald in the 3000 meters after she won the U.S. title in the event running away; her last lap kick left one TV commentator com-
17
paring her to a windup toy car. “[Grunewald] was pretty confident she’d be in the final,” Barker says. “But she had had a knee injury and her volume was pretty low going in.” He says because of this, the U.S. championship, which had no prelim (Grunewald won in a tactical 9:23.15), worked more in her favor than the world final, where eventual champion Genzebe Dibaba, of Ethiopia, pushed hard with 1500 meters to go. Grunewald placed tenth in 9:11.76, 16 seconds back from Dibaba. “She wanted to do better, and I think she could have without the knee injury,” Barker says. He notes, however, the shift in expectations for both Grunewald and Kampf compared to the start of their professional careers. “When they both first started with the team, it was about qualifying for the U.S. championships or the Olympic Trials,” he says. “Then it became about making the
MAY/JUNE 2014
finals. Now they’re qualifying and advancing and making the U.S. team, so the next step is to see if you can try and get a medal.”
A late addition A medal was far from out of the question for Kampf, meanwhile, who deliberately took the lead in the 1500 meter final after the initially quick pace slowed to a trot. Yet, medal contention was a far cry from where she had been earlier that week, which was not on the U.S. team roster for Sopot. After finishing third to Nike Oregon Project teammates Mary Cain and Treniere Moser at the U.S. Championships, Kampf figured her indoor season was over. “I left team processing figuring they might as well just shred my paperwork now,” Kampf says, referring to the process of registering as an alternate for the world team after finishing third in Albuquerque. A few days later, she received a call from Sandy Snow at USA Track
and Field, notifying her that Cain had withdrawn due to injury and inviting her as a late addition to the world team. Since Kampf was on a treadmill at Lifetime Fitness when the call came, she let it go to voicemail. “Even when I started listening to the message and heard who it was, I didn’t expect to be asked to be on the team.” Twenty-two hours of travel and a couple days of rest later, she was in the final, where Nicole Sifuentes of Canada, whom Kampf has beaten in the past, took over the lead after 200 meters. By 600 meters, Sweden’s Abebe Aregawi took the helm and stayed there. Kampf and Barker both note that the nature of the track’s banked curves favored front running. It was a tactic that worked well for American Chanelle Price, who led the 800 meter final wire-to-wire to win her first world title. Whereas banks usually become more gradual in the first lane, Barker explains, the turns
in Sopot were steep all the way down to the curb. Several athlete disqualifications due to steps off the inside of the track, including men’s 1500 favorite Nick Willis of New Zealand, were attributed to the track’s design. The harsh banks would be Kampf’s downfall in two different ways. “I was waiting for the pack to settle when someone came down off the turn and hooked my leg,” she recalls. “Before I knew it, I was on the ground.” Kampf says she thought quickly of Morgan Uceny, who fell in the 1500 final of both the 2011 IAAF World Outdoor Championship and the 2012 Olympics, falling out of contention despite her world leading time both years. She also thought to her own now famous fall and subsequent recovery and win in the 600 meter finals at the 2008 Big Ten indoor championship. “I was never out of the race,” she says. “But after 1000 meters, chasing the fastest people in the world, it’s a different story [than Big Tens].” She would finish ninth while Aregawi won in 4:00.61, almost seven seconds ahead of second place. Sifuentes finished third in 4:07.61. “Heather didn’t get the chance to show what she could do,” Barker says. “Other than gold, the medals were up for grabs.” There was another problem, though. While checking behind her on a turn early in the race, Kampf had lost her balance slightly while turning her head and inadvertently took one step on the inside of the track. Since IAAF rules call for disqualification after one misstep, her race was over before it began. “[One step] didn’t give me a competitive advantage,” Kampf says, noting that college and high school rules only call for disqualification after three steps off the track. “I think that’s something we need to address.” “You saw gravity just pull everyone down on the curve,” Barker says. “[The step was] so minor, it was the blink of an eye.” Though this was the first time Kampf or Grunewald qualified for a World Championship team (Kampf
has also worn the USA jersey at the 2011 Pan American games), they will almost certainly be in the discussion to make future U.S. teams. While there is no World Outdoor Championship in 2014, Beijing will host the 2015 Outdoor Championships and Rio de Janeiro will host the 2016 Olympics. The 2016 World Indoor Championships will be hosted by Portland, Oregon, the first time they have been held in the U.S. since Indianapolis hosted them in 1987. “To put on the Team USA gear, you look in the mirror, and it’s a little bit shocking,” Kampf says. “I look at myself as the same person even though I’ve been growing and improving.” “There’s a little bit of an ‘I made it’ feeling,” she continues. “I want to get back there again.”
Breaking Bad: USATF edition Considering how convincingly she won the U.S. 3000 meter title in Albuquerque, Grunewald’s road to the World Championship was surprisingly rocky. In the late stages of the race, she passed Nike Oregon Project athlete Jordan Hasay, who would eventually finish fourth. Grunewald made contact with Hasay during the pass, and an official raised a flag to indicate there may have been a foul. Contact is common in indoor track races, and after officials conferred, it was determined that whatever contact took place had not constituted interference. Grunewald’s title was upheld. USA Track and Field, the primary governing body of the sport in the U.S. and the organization responsible for holding national championships and determining World Championship teams, allows its decisions to be protested, which Alberto Salazar, Hasay’s coach, promptly did. The committee ruled unanimously in Grunewald’s favor. USATF also allows its decisions to be appealed, once, to a jury of three volunteers. Salazar appealed the decision but the jury, again unanimously, ruled that there had been no interference.
According to USATF procedure, that is the end of the road unless new evidence surfaces. Barker and an assistant to Grunewald’s agent checked with USATF officials to make sure they could sleep easily that night, and they confirmed. Grunewald was the U.S. champion at 3000 meters and could start planning her trip to Poland. But, according to multiple accounts, Salazar and a handful of his associates did not leave the protest area. A few minutes later, the committee reversed its decision and disqualified Grunewald. Counter-protests on Grunewald’s behalf were denied. Because Hasay was the only athlete other than Grunewald to have run the IAAF “A” qualification standard in the event, she would be sent to the World Championship despite still having finished outside the top two (unlike outdoor championships, only the top two runners qualify for the U.S. team). This set off a firestorm of criticism, much of it driven by social media, directed at USATF and the Nike Oregon Project. Barker tweeted the phrase “no confidence” to USATF. Other Twitter users began using the hashtag #FreeGabe to indicate their support of Grunewald. Many more, noting that Nike was the largest financial contributor of any shoe company to USATF, openly accused USATF of being corrupt and disproportionately swayed by Nike dollars using the hashtag #USATFCorruption. Hasay and Salazar are both supported by Nike. Protests soon spilled over from Twitter onto the track. After the
women’s 1500 final the next day, several of the competitors, including Kampf, walked off the track holding hands in a showing of solidarity for Grunewald. USA Track and Field Minnesota, the state’s chapter of the national governing body, issued a letter calling for USATF to reinstate Grunewald as national champion. USATF was met with heavy criticism because, according to its own rules, an appeal cannot be overturned or even re-opened unless new and “compelling” evidence has been uncovered. The nature of, or even existence of, that evidence was not and still has not been disclosed or explained to Barker outside of public statements issued by USATF. Several days later, USATF spokesperson Jill Geer stated via e-mail that the evidence was “an enhanced and enlarged view of the video, viewed in a different medium (computer rather than projected).” She said there is no plan to release it. Amidst the backlash, Hasay soon withdrew her protest, stating “I do not want to make a national team under these circumstances.” Grunewald was reinstated as the U.S. champion, and Geer says, “we were procedurally able to resolve the matter in a way that was in everyone’s interest.” But Barker says USATF has not once reached out to acknowledge his many questions regarding what happened and why. Several athletes noted that Grunewald’s reinstatement was a partial victory, but made it clear they did not think USATF was
MAY/JUNE 2014
18
being accountable. Three days after Hasay’s withdrawal, Kara Goucher tweeted, “Still no answers from @USATF? Your silence speaks volumes.” As Grunewald’s saga concluded, USATF faced a fresh round of criticism when it was brought to light that Andrew Bumbalough, a Nike athlete from a rival group to Salazar’s, had been disqualified for interfering with Salazar athlete Galen Rupp during the men’s 3000 final. Athletes and other observers noted that in the race video Bumbalough does not apparently ever make contact with Rupp. Some even speculated that Salazar had mistaken Ryan Hill, who trains with Bumbalough, and who did make contact with Rupp during the race, for Bumbalough, and that USATF had disqualified Bumbalough without actually watching the race video. The weekend’s events spurred the Track and Field Athletes Association, an organization separate from USATF representing and sup-
19
porting professional athletes, to start a petition calling for greater transparency and reforms to the protest procedure. I asked Barker frankly whether he believed USATF was in danger of losing legitimacy as a governing body for Track and Field, given the unrest among athletes, coaches and fans alike over the events in Albuquerque. It would not be without precedent. Barker says USATF can again change for the better, but that it has its work cut out for it. He noted instances where athletes on the bubble of qualifying for the Olympic Trials have been told to come to the meet by USATF officials and then, after traveling on their own dime, are not allowed to run even though there is a lane open on the track. More recently, he recounted that Team USA Minnesota athlete Travis Burkstrand was scheduled to run the second heat of the 1500 in Albuquerque but was notified that USATF “might” combine the
MAY/JUNE 2014
event’s two heats into one. “The heats were scheduled quite a ways apart, but we weren’t even sure if they were going to run the second one or if he should be warming up for the first heat,” Barker says. “So I had him warm up, just in case. And 20 minutes before the first heat was supposed to be run they told us they were going to combine them.” He notes that the NCAA has set heats, start lists, times that the gun will go off and deadlines for when those details can change. But with USATF? “It makes the athletes feel like there’s a randomness to it,” he says. “And when you have one particular group of athletes sponsored by one company, and it seems like they’re getting spots or whatever ahead of the others, it creates an atmosphere of distrust as well.” “The more objective they can make it when they’re putting together the heats, the better,” he continues. “Track and field athletes are a fair group. Shoot the gun, and
the fastest person wins. If you take that away from them, that’s kind of antithetical to the sport.” Geer says USATF plans to revisit what happened in Albuquerque and that it serves as a chance to improve the organization. But, she also stressed that USATF as a governing body was not in a position to overturn “fieldof-play” decisions by officials, referees and juries. “The NFL didn’t comment on the specific call and did not ‘overturn’ the call or any other call by officials,” she says. “But they looked into and regularly look into what they can do to give players, coaches and the public more confidence in those field-of-play decisions. Coming back from the World Indoor Championships, we will be acting in that same vein.” Barker’s message to USATF is simple: act quickly. “They need to do things to improve the trust of the athletes,” he says. “If they don’t, people will lose interest.”

A Cardinal Day: MDRA’s Ron Daws 25K
Photo by Wayne Kryduba
BY PHILLIP GARY SMITH A spring blizzard pounded the Twin Cities Friday with northern suburbs counting a new foot of accumulation, putting the Saturday race conditions in doubt. Yet, snow stopped like on a clock, the sun bursting bright. Saturday, April 5, dawned clear, cool and charming. A showy cardinal monitored the start and signaled an okay in the more southerly, less snowy Hopkins, all captured in an image by MDRA photographer Wayne Kryduba. Brian Davenport paced all 164 finishers, conquering the 25K finish in 1:34:25. As the only 25K certified road race in the state, the option for this distance is now limited to the Ron Daws race. The Jeff Winter City of Lakes adopted a half marathon distance from its historic 25K to tackle the high costs of the race’s Lake Harriet and Lake Calhoun locations. “I’m training for Boston,” he told me, leaving nothing to chance as that historic finish line is now his facebook cover photo. Asking if he was cold after finishing and just standing there talking with me, he kindly shrugged that off. “The people who are back in the pack are the ones who really have to work since they’re out there much longer.” He noted the fourth time up the curve-to-the-left Dominick Drive hill, just leaving Shady Oak Lake, got long-in-the-tooth by the end of the race. From the start down the frontage road from the Cross of Glory Church, just a few hundred yards into the race, the pack split into two arms, merging together on the curving sidewalk to Shady Oak Road. Leading the high road, Melissa Gacek captured another win for the women’s class, an eighth overall. The stellar athlete admitted to first wanting to stop. “I just wanted to quit,” but an observation picked up her pace and spirits. “I realized I wasn’t picking up my feet on hills,” thinking maybe that habit developed from a winter’s training on a treadmill. “I just got back from Las Vegas where I ran the 8K Celebrate Education race.” Though suffering an ailment, Gacek won there in 30:26, good enough for sixth overall. She focuses her training to qualify for the Olympic Marathon Trials. Joanna Masloski cornered second, her first time at this race. She noted “the great training hills,” then heard the big one is quietly recognized as Puke’s Peak. Anja Standly completed the women’s podium with the bronze finish.

MAY/JUNE 2014
Tying for second in the men’s class at 1:37:51, affable training partners Gregg Robertson and David Hyopponen were up at 4:30 for the drive from their Duluth home base. Hyopponen is training for June’s Grandmas Marathon, while Robertson has Boston in his sights. Others in the finisher’s list include USSSA National Championship Race snowshoer Rob Class in the 12 spot while recovering from a tendon challenge. “The snow doesn’t hurt as much.” John Storkamp, a regular competitor here, took time off from his race director duties for the Zumbro 100 mile endurance test the following weekend, April 11, recording a nice 1:44. A different Phil, 73-year-old Phil Erickson, took the honors as this year’s final finisher. If you wonder what that is about, revisit the 2013 finisher’s list. Norm Champ, with behind-the-scenes help from Heidi Keller Miler, staged a grand race with their volunteer crew. “It was a great day to hammer some hills and enjoy a longer early morning run-race. Some parts of the course were a bit of a challenge due to the Friday snow, but in the spirit of a hard Ron Daws’ type of training run, no one let that bother them.” The course description “tough hilly course provides a great training experience for those running Boston or other spring marathons” held true in 2014. Truly classic photos are always a trademark of Wayne Kryduba. Having access to his work is a privilege of writing. The Ron Daws 25K is not only a throwback race, The Ron Daws 25K is a bargain. As the entry information indicates, the cash register only tallies $1.00 per 5K. Additionally, Great Harvest cookies come with your finish. A few of those are worth more than the five bucks entry. 2015’s race will be Saturday, April 4. Enter it on your calendar now. It rates as a Cardinal rule.

John Storkamp continued from page 16
candy bars, helped him get more clothes on and made the runner follow John for miles at crawling pace until John knew his friend was going to get in safe. John explains, “These adventures are meant to be fun but are not worth risking serious injury over.” As a race director, John experiences the best in people: the camaraderie, the competition, the selflessness of the volunteers, people finishing and people achieving previously unimagined personal goals. Everyone comes together for a common objective. The worst experience, for John as a race director, is putting up with self-centeredness and lack of self-awareness that we sometimes see in marathoners, triathletes and ultrarunners. He doesn’t mean to pass judgment or cast stones. There was a time when he thought that because he could run 26.2 miles or more that his s*** didn’t stink. John Storkamp has shared the roads and trails with many great people for over 20 years and has learned so much from them, though he does most of his running alone. Many of his closest friends run or are in recovery. Friends in recovery provide support and share really wonderful friendships. Mentors in race directing and ultrarunning include Scott Wagner (the original Afton race director), Larry Pederson, Pierre Ostor and Donald Clark. John encourages people to think about others more than themselves. John said, ”Just because you run far or can run fast does not make you a messiah. At the end of the day, most of us are just running as an amateur. I try to always place camaraderie over competition. I love our sport and especially as it exists in Minnesota. We have a really special thing here with a lot of great diverse events. We have excellent ambassadors for running and a lot of history.” When it comes to running long distances, boredom is not an issue. “That would be like getting bored while having sex; it just doesn’t happen,” John explains. Sometimes he listens to music while running and even while racing longer distances. He remembers carrying a Walkman tape deck in a neoprene belt in the early 90s. Later John tried a portable CD player but it skipped too much, however the mini MP3 player is one of the greatest inventions of all time. When it comes to training, there are times when John is barely running. He maintains only a few miles a week. He does some walking, stretching and light lifting. John shared, “If you are running races, or doing self-supported adventures that are 100 miles or more with any frequency, and you don’t have some periods of time like this [fewer miles] in your schedule, then I am not sure how you do it and doubt that you can do it long term.” John has performed well on 40 to 75 miles a week, running concurrent weekends of sub 3:00 marathons or running low six hour times for 50 miles. He has also run well on a lot more mileage. John’s 25K PR came off of a couple of months of 100 plus mile weeks, peaking out at 140 miles per week with a full regimen of weekly speed work. John believes he is functionally fast, but not truly fast, lacking the pure talent of a 15 minute 5Ker. John was splitting firewood and busting up concrete for a living, power lifting and body building in the gym before everyone came out with their own brand of fitness. He walks, hikes, runs, backpacks, snowshoes, splits wood, bikes and stretches year round. John concluded, “I started slow [in the back of the pack] and that is where I hope to end up again someday, if I am lucky.”

MEETING MINUTES Minutes of the Board of Directors Meeting - March 10, 2014 Members Present: Paul Arneberg, Kristen Bruner, Nathan Campeau, Norm Champ, Jim Delaplain, Randy Fulton, Mike Iserman, Mary Johnson, Dave Marek, Mike Nawrocki, Kevin Ross, Eve Stein, Scott Welle Members Absent: Kate Bomsta, Josh Jacobson, Kristin Johnson, Melissa Wieczorek Secretary’s Report: Jim Delaplain moved to approve and Mike Nawrocki seconded. The minutes of the February 10, 2014 meeting were approved. Treasurer’s Report: Josh was not able to attend the meeting but emailed in this report regarding the budget for 2014. Annual Calendars: Last year we had a very strong year due to 2014 Annual Sales Revenue in 2013 in addition to 2013 revenue. We can still change the budget spread for this year if the board feels it's most appropriate, and we plan on recognizing the following year's revenue both this year and in future years. The same can be said for the Annual Ad revenue timing. Last year we had Annual Ad revenue in the beginning of the year and the end of the year. Postage (Office expenses) is greater than budget spread, but this should be able to normalize as the year continues and this isn't an item that I am overly concerned about. Membership dues are about $1400 behind YTD revenue, but with the colder than usual Jan-Feb this wasn't helping people think Spring/Running... Outside of these above mentioned items and some Race expenses coming in earlier than the initial budget spread we are favorable YTD Net Income albeit by a small amount. The Marathon class is ahead of 2013 pace and between the rate increase in the marathon class rate and switching to a Half Marathon we have the ability to make up lower than revenue in Membership, Annual, and potential Ad Revenue. It's still a little early to really tell about Membership Revenue and Ad Revenue, but potentially both can have a strong year.

COMMITTEE REPORTS Advocacy: Nathan and Heidi met with Greg Rosenberg and agreed to have MDRA partner with him in starting up a Twin Cities Running Coalition to address the needs of the great runner community. They will be having a social happy hour meeting in May and inviting many diverse parties to join for an initial gathering. Programs: : The spring marathon class is going well. Two women’s running camps will begin in April. One is in Edina, the other in Maple Grove. Promotions: Mike Nawrocki has scheduled a promotions meeting at 6 PM on April 14. A membership drive was discussed. The Star Tribune features a Best of Issue each spring. Heidi has been contacted by one of their writers who interviewed her regarding including MDRA in the Best of Issue. Stay tuned for the May article! Publications: RunMinnesota is featuring more national ads. Race: 7 race budgets were approved for the MDRA spring series of races: Lake Johanna 4 Mile, Saturday, March 22.; MDRA 7 Mile, Saturday, March 29; Ron Daws 25K, Saturday, April 5; Fred Kurz 10 mile, Saturday, April 12.; Mudball 4 mile, Sunday, May 4.; Mom’s Day 5K, Saturday, May 10; Mississippi 10 mile, Sunday, May 25. Volunteers are needed for these races. Great Harvest will sponsor the spring series with cookies. City of Lakes Half Marathon will be heavily promoted. The Grand Prix will need a new race next year as the Irish Run St. Paul is believed to be in its last year. Next meeting of the race committee will be on June 9 USATF: Annual awards banquet will be held Feb 22, 2014. New Business: Artwork for MDRA’s inaugural half marathon will be finalized by the MDRA board this month, kicking off promotion of the 2014 City of Lakes Half Marathon. Old Business: Thank You to Nathan Campeau for putting a survey together that prioritized goals for the MDRA board for 2014. The survey reflected the top 5 priorities as: Increase membership to 2500 or beyond, Increase revenue, Update website, Balance budget, Build surplus of $10,000 in the MDRA bank account. There is a definite interest in trail running. Eve Stein suggested MDRA sponsor a Grand Prix Trail Series. She will put a proposal together for the next meeting. Nathan will help identify metro races. Broken links on the website should be sent to Heidi. Kevin will help identify any broken links. Board profiles will be added to the website.

RUNNING INSIGHTS
Camaraderie BY BRUCE BROTHERS
Another reason I love distance running is the camaraderie.. We’ve all heard about “the loneliness of the long distance runner,” and there are few deeper “alone” moments than when you’re grasping for breath and strength with distance remaining in a taxing run. Equally important, however, is sharing the experience. Evidence of that can be found not only around the finish line of any race or fun run, but also at intersections, where runners congregate to wait for traffic or a friend. Issues regarding the weather, the workplace or the big wide world are addressed openly and randomly, because pumping the legs typically unlocks the tongue. Most of my runs are solo, but the nods and waves and greetings from others are consistent whether I’m stopping for a long drink or just passing by. Whether it’s for a moment or an hour or more, runners engender a spirit of support and togetherness. I’ve been well into several ultramarathons before hooking up with another participant to share water, encouragement and philosophies through long afternoons. No one is a better practitioner of this than veteran Twin Cities runner Donald Clark, a back-of-the-packer who often has sacrificed his own goals to shepherd someone needing help to a far distant finish line. I’ve benefited from Don’s assistance and from others. At a Voyageur Trail race near Duluth I shared support, sympathy and even silence for several hours with a woman from somewhere in Michigan. Our systems became so synched that we even stopped to pee at the same times. She on one side of the trail and me on the other.
Others kept me going when doubts jumped on my back. Bill Beddor ushered me through an ultra in Wisconsin and the late George Fink delivered exactly the right words during the Edmund Fitzgerald 100K. Open your eyes and ears and you can find help anywhere. Before my first marathon many years ago, I was the typical rookie with more enthusiasm than common sense. I pulled alongside an older runner at Lake Harriet one day and the task of training to run 26.2 miles came up. He had been there and done that, so I told him how an eight miler simply knocked me out. He laughed and offered two words: slow down. As simple and intuitive as running is, tips can be priceless. I slowed my pace and surpassed the 10 mile mark for the first time that very day. Now I’m a veteran who reminds himself over and over to be patient every time I encounter an injury or another setback that forces me to regroup. “Calm down, slow down.” And, of course, gratefully accept help because, although running is a solo endeavor, you are rarely totally alone. I have a favorite picture that shows me and buddy Tim Whisler crossing the finish line side by side at Grandma’s Marathon a few years back, arms raised and smiles wide. I was on the road back from some ailment or another, so Tim was stronger and could have said goodbye well before we reached Knife River. Instead, he kept pace and offered encouragement as we exchanged stories old and new. I don’t even remember any more what the clock above our heads read when we finished, because those seemingly significant numbers had become irrelevant to the humanity and humility I was feeling as we crossed under them.
