FROM THE PRESIDENT DAVE MAREK

H

ello runners,

I hope this latest issue of RunMinnesota finds you well and you’ve enjoyed a great holiday season. As the calendar turns to 2019 I have been reminded a lot recently about how time really does fly by. I will have a child graduating from college (!) in May and it seems like just yesterday my running consisted of chasing her around the house.

2019 will also mark the end of my tenure as President of the MDRA board of directors. It really is hard to believe it has been three years. Board meetings, races, training programs, expos, etc., etc.

There are two groups of people that made me look forward to each of those events. I am very grateful for our members who make this organization one of the best, if not the best, of its kind anywhere. And I am very thankful for our wonderful board members, volunteers and coaches who donate their time to put on our programs and races and the behind the scenes work that too often goes unnoticed. I assure you I’ve noticed and appreciate everything you’ve done.

I do remember being a little bit nervous with this new role coinciding with a new operations manager when I started. But along with a great board of directors our previous President, Norm Champ was, and continues to be, a wonderful help to MDRA and sounding board for me. I admittedly had some trepidation in writing these letters as I don’t consider myself a writer and this is the one duty I’ve struggled with at times. However, after my second one was out Norm took the time to send me an email with a “nice job, you’ve found your groove” and that meant a lot. It also reminded me that people read these!

I would be remiss to not take a moment to recognize a lot of people that deserve it. Starting with the board members who I have had the pleasure of working with the past three plus years: Josh, Paul, Sheila, Kevin, Rochelle, Randy, Nathan C., Nathan K., Randy, Jenny, Craig, Scott, Sam, Rick, Mary, Lisa, Kristin, Dennis, Kelly, Kathy, Sarah, Mike, Cindy, Wendy, Damon, David, Steve, Jim, Noelle, Eve, Mike, Melissa and Kate. Thank you all for your work.

The number of volunteers is far too many to mention by name but thank you to anyone who has helped at one of our races or with one of our programs. They simply don’t happen without you.

A special shout out to all the coaches for their dedication in a challenging role – Sarah, Chad, Nathan, Gloria, Rochelle, Laurie, Kelly, Jenny, Sheila and Kristen.

Thank you as well to our race directors – Rob, Heidi, John, Lee, Sam, Craig and our timing guru Jack. And to Rick in his dedication to get indoor running up and going again at the U.S. Bank Stadium and to Nathan C. for basically owning the Saturday Polar Bear runs.

I sincerely apologize if I missed anyone. As I was writing this I realized how many good people we have who step up every year and donate their time to make sure this operation runs somewhat smoothly!

As I look back over the past three years I am particularly proud of a couple things we have been able to accomplish and how we have grown the MDRA. We are in a very solid financial position and set up to do wonderful things in the future. We established the MDRA Foundation and have awarded a Community Giving Grant the past two years as part of our focus on being a resource and supporter of this great sport.

It has been a very rewarding experience for me to be a small part of MDRA and I look forward to the future. I’ll still be around as I will

A well-costumed runner is pictured during this year’s Monster Dash in St. Paul. Photo by Wayne Kryduba be on the board for one more year as a Past President helping as needed and you will see me at our races volunteering.

One quick housekeeping note – please don’t forget the MDRA Annual Party on Saturday, January 19. Starting at 11:00am at the Edina Community Center we will have free pizza, soda, ice cream and a short program. We will award our Grand Prix winners and recognize our volunteer of the year and the Distinguished Service award winner. Free for members, $5 for guests.

Now please enjoy the rest of this edition of RunMinnesota. We have a great article on Courtney Dauwalter, a bio of local legend Doug Krohn, a story about Elm Creek and the benefits of joining a group/club/association.

Thank you all once again for your support of the MDRA. We’ll see you out there!

TRAILS

FINDING SOLACE

It’s possible to find places to run in the metro where you can get away from development

T

he charming stream has a mind of its

own. The creek called Elm waves sinuously, expanding and narrowing down as the countryside allows it. It dwells in the most common of places and persists despite the odds by hiding from occasional visitors. Its home used to be fields of tall grass and forest all around but today it is nothing more than a small space of green. Yet, the unsuspecting stream of pure fresh water stubbornly recognizes its path along a small oasis of forest, shrub and grass surrounded by farmland and residential developments. In a recent tour of the park that takes its name from this creek, I had a chance to find solace in an otherwise crowded and confusing landscape.

WINTER 2019

Writer Alberto VAsquez-Parada took interest in little things while on the trails, noting how even the sky looks different. This view is in stark contrast to the image on the upper right of a tree in bloom at the same park.

TRAILS

Elm Creek is pictured with fall foliage.

I parked the car close to the road, hesitantly.

Not too long ago some people had reported with resignation how their cars were vandalized in a lot nearby. They lost cell phones, wallets and other items taken from their vehicle. Times do change and at present one can never be too careful.

The morning was fresh and sunless. I saw a group of runners going by and waved at them.

One of them waved back. Was that a good sign? After checking my gear and putting on some Vaseline I began running decisively after the group, slowing my pace down whenever I got too close to them. This continued for a mile or so until a Y intersection ahead on the road offered a chance to part ways with my unintended companions. To the left there was a gravel road, to the right a trail covered with green grass. They chose the gravel road.

Following the Horse Trail turned out to be quite a decision. With its ups and downs, meandering paths, its contrasts of plains followed by forestry labyrinths inhabited by curious creatures, the trail was an open case of surprises. In the jargon of trail running, it is not too technical and one can easily run the hills nonstop. The downhill slopes are especially pleasant and not too slippery, if one pays some attention.

The Horse Trail was liberating in more than one way. It gave me a badly needed break from the long commutes and office hours of

trees at elk creek park reserve. the past few days which had become more tiresome since I was moved to an office farther away from home three weeks before. The trail demanded that I focused on more important things such as avoiding horse droppings dotting the road, something that can be very tricky in early fall. As I entered a plain with grass all around a sound stopped me on my tracks.

A big and strong buck with nice horns stood tall a few feet away. It was difficult to see at first as it camouflaged itself very well against the grassland. We looked at each other for a while before it decided to run away. At that moment I remembered a comment I heard about the upcoming hunting season and the park being closed the next weekend in order to “control [the deer] numbers”. As I looked at the deer hopping elegantly away, I thought, “funny...we control their numbers, who controls ours?”

The prairie was pleasant but I welcomed another chance to reenter the forest. The Horse Trail is never the same every time. Paraphrasing T.S. Eliot, as time future becomes time present things move around, transform and change color. Even the sky looks different.

Back on the trail I noticed a murmur. Out of caution I continued running but paid close attention. The sound was soothing and acted as background against the occasional chirping of a bird nearby or the crushing of leaves by a morning squirrel hurrying up towards the next

tree. After turning a corner, the background faded. Before I had a chance to miss it the trail turned again and the sound reemerged, this time a bit more noticeable. I could hear the flow of water but could not see the creek through the thick foliage. “I see”; the thought came as I followed the trail, “playing hide and seek!” For some reason this passage through the forest felt like a courting ritual. The creek and the trail came almost together then parted ways only to come back and see each other at a distance. Finally, I saw it. The bridge ahead, which I had crossed so many times before and looked so normal and simple, was the perfect meeting spot. Inside this wilderness, or what’s left of it, the bridge was the place where the union was consummated. How could I have never seen it before? I arrived and stayed on the crossway deck, deeply moved. My exhausted, tight muscles and inner self immediately relaxed; the tension eased off by the simplicity and freshness of the surroundings.

Water and land: our essence for time present and our bridge to a time future. I felt part of a story.

Once at the parking lot seeing the car intact was a relief. No one was in sight, not the people I bumped into earlier or the other ones that I saw along the trail. Everything seemed normal and yet things looked different. Somehow I was not the same person who began a journey earlier that morning.

TESTING THE LIMITS Former Hopkins star Courtney Dauwalter is now among nation’s top endurance athletes

WINTER 2019

PROFILE

BY SARAH BARKER

A

professional ultrarunner, Courtney Dauwalter’s biology undergraduate degree is enjoying near constant application—stay in school, kids— in her self-designed study of the limits of human endurance. She’s gained national and international acclaim for feats of endurance running—240 miles of unforgiving trail, 155 miles in 24 hours, pushing herself farther, longer, winning races outright. Where did this unquenchable drive come from? Well, in a word—Hopkins.

She and two brothers grew up in Hopkins, where her parents still live, loving sports—the practices, the competition, the friendships, everything. Competitive spirit and athletic talent manifested early—she joined Hopkins’ cross country team as a seventh grader in 1997, and placed 10th in the state meet that year. Following the well-worn path from cross country to Nordic skiing to track, she was a top competitor for Hopkins, and statewide, every year through graduation in 2003, including state championship titles in Nordic skiing in 2002 and 2003.

Dauwalter, now living in Golden, Colorado, credited her coaches and teammates with fostering a love of running. Minnesotans are still some of her biggest fans.

The article below originally appeared on Deadspin.com.

Gary Cantrell clanged a bell at 6:40 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 20, signaling 70 runners to jog off into the woods on his farm in Tennessee.

They had an hour to complete a 4.1667-mile loop trail. Easy. Most of the group finished with 15 minutes to spare. The bell clanged again at 7:40 a.m., and they ran it again. And at 8:40 a.m., and 9:40 a.m., and every hour after that until, one by one, they quit. There was no known finish line. The race went on, day and night, until the bell clanged and only one runner answered.

“I compare it to being punched in the face— light punches,” Cantrell said. “After awhile you just don’t want to get up for it any more.”

Big’s Backyard Ultra is a last-man-standing race devised by Cantrell, a.k.a. Lazarus Lake.

He’s the chain-smoking provocateur/mastermind behind the Barkley Marathons, adding Big’s Backyard Ultra to his collection of devilishly difficult programs in 2012. It’s named for his pitbull, Big: “The event, hosted by a dog, in which humans fight to the death,” he quipped.

Endurance races are normally somewhat boring affairs—very little bare-knuckle competition, lots of camaraderie. Pretty much everyone

who can drag ass for 50 or 100 miles gets a finisher’s medal and is declared a winner. Everyone gets to go home tired and happy.

That pisses Cantrell off. He’s unapologetically competitive. “Everyone’s not a winner. If you can’t lose, you can’t win,” he said. “A lot of people decry competition as a negative thing.

It’s not. You come to love your competitors because you’ve been through this hell together.

You don’t want your competitors to quit, but you need them to quit. These things are going on in your head at the same time. That’s a little bit evil. A total mindfuck, runners say.” And he laughed, wheezily.

By hand-selecting a field of “warriors,” and dropping them into a last-man-standing arena, he’s managed to create an endurance event with the coup de gras thrust of bloodsport.

“It’s an incredible spectacle to watch. It lends itself to drama,” Backyard’s emperor told me two days prior to the opening bell. “I provide a venue where people can find greatness in themselves. They’ve got a lot of time to let these thoughts coalesce.”

There is no women’s category in Big’s Backyard. The “last man standing” tagline does not mean mankind. No woman has ever won, and Cantrell likes to remind people of that.

Prior to this year, Marcy Beard’s 120.8 miles in 2013 (she was among the final three that year) was the top women’s performance, less than half of Guillaume Calmettes’ 245-mile record.

But women have been crushing 200-plus mile races, and multi-day sufferfests for years. So why haven’t they performed better at Big’s Backyard?

Cantrell, who got somewhere around 275 applications for this year’s race, had a few ideas: “This format takes away the importance of speed and strength so it levels the playing field for women. Women should do better here comparatively. For one thing, there are fewer women involved in ultrarunning at a serious level. I think socially, women don’t tend to be as competitive as men. But the bottom line is, you have to be willing to suffer.”

If he was trolling Courtney Dauwalter, it worked.

Ponytailed, goofy, and barbed-wire tough, the former high school science teacher from Golden, Colo. doesn’t talk about suffering, but rather about her eagerness to explore the limits of human endurance. Suffering she waves off— it’s a necessary byproduct of her quest for that ever-receding boundary.

She’s a physically gifted athlete, but it’s her head game that sets Dauwalter apart, even in the world of titanium-minded endurance specialists. Soul-crushing landscapes and dogshit weather don’t even count as annoyances

to her. Swirling intestines, hallucinations, a sleep-starved brain struggling with basic cognition, quads so swollen they appeared to be swallowing her kneecaps—her response to this sort of agony is to wonder how much farther she can go.

As for her competitive spirit: She’s won 11 ultras outright, most notably a 10-hour victory over the second place man in the 2017 Moab 240. She’s come second overall in seven other races. Dauwalter told me she considers every person on the start line her competition, not just women, and that few women win overall, as she has, simply reflects greater number of men in ultra endurance events. More than any other woman in ultrarunning, Dauwalter is an open division threat, and that universally competitive mindset is crucial to her success. All of which is to say, she’s made for Big’s Backyard.

Earlier this year, Dauwalter was looking forward to the peculiar challenges (read: horrors) of Big’s Backyard. “I’m hoping this pushes me to see how far I can go, how deep I can dig mentally. You can’t get attached to any distance, and think, ‘that’s when I’ll be done.’ I’m hoping people will stay in for like three days.

It’ll bring out some good competition, for sure,” she said. “Most of the guys from last year are in it again—six or seven of them are gunning to pass 200 miles. It’s a cool format, a new way to challenge yourself. I mean, 4 mph is a very sustainable pace, 15 minutes per mile. On paper, you could hold that for a long time, but it’s the head part that gets in the way.”

Dauwalter and her crew, husband Kevin, flew into Nashville and rented a car. Camp was a folding chair, a puffy jacket, and a box of food. She expected to be self-sufficient the first 24 hours, so Kevin could get some shuteye in the back seat of the rental car. After that, Dauwalter figured she’d need some help. They bought round-trip airfare, returning to Colorado on Thursday, leaving an optimistic five days for exploring the boundaries of human endurance.

Motley tents and jerry-rigged tarps lined the gravel driveway that served as the start and end of the 4.1667-mile loop on Cantrell’s farm.

Four porta-potties offered convenience and nothing more. Camp chairs huddled around a fire pit. It was all a primitive arrangement, except for the electronic mat stretching across the gravel, cabled up to the timing equipment adjacent. At night, the electronic clock glowed a hellish red.

PROFILE Continued from page 13 est victims, of the endless loop held a worldwide audience rapt for three days.

Three whistles signaled three minutes until the start of the next loop.

Then two whistles, one whistle, a 30-second countdown, then the bell.

“Runners come to hate that whistle,” Cantrell said. “By the fourth hour, you hear a groan from the camps when they hear it. It doesn’t take long to figure out what you’ve gotten yourself into.”

Those who failed to show up for the start of a loop were marked DNF. Of all the DNFs, very few timed out, meaning they failed to complete the course in the hour allotted. The vast majority of quitters were sitting in their camps a few steps from the start corral, physically able but unwilling to make their aching body move.

“It’s not a hard trail. They can physically do it, but they lose belief,” Cantrell told me. “When we came up with this format, I thought people would run until they could stand no more, but in fact, people drop when they no longer believe they can win. There’s no reason to continue to suffer if you no longer believe you can win. If you don’t believe you can win, and you’re going to quit at 180 miles, why not quit at 160?”

Each time the contestants shuffled off, the camp was quiet for at least 39 minutes. A fast loop gave runners a few extra minutes in the porta-pottie or to close their eyes before the next bell, but it also exacted a high energy cost. Big’s Backyard is all about balancing pace, stamina, and the things needed to maintain them—tough decisions had to be made. Cantrell told of a runner who only had time to change one sock before the bell. It was another three hours before he found time to change the other sock. Gavin Woody, one of the final three survivors, explained the realities in a Facebook post: “The V Tree: Probably the most famous marker on the four mile loop. If you get here past the 40 minute mark, you’re not going to have time to eat... or poop... or change clothes... or rest. Most of the time, you can only choose one...”

Over the course of the first night Dauwalter minimized her time in the camp: “We didn’t have a shelter that first night—just a chair and puffy coat. When I came in from a loop, I’d bundle up, sit quick, and try to eat something, but it was pretty chilly. I took my time on the loops so I wouldn’t have to sit, so I wouldn’t get so cold,” she said.

Bad patches are the one constant in endurance races. Normally runners can take an hour or so to rest or eat or vomit or whatever it takes to regroup and carry on. Not at Big’s. “A few years ago, Babak Rastgoufard had some stomach problems, he literally turned green, and couldn’t make it to the start [before the next bell],” Cantrell said. “An hour later he was fine. That’s the cruel thing about the Backyard—you can’t have one bad hour.”

The way Big’s keeps its competitors in such close proximity adds another layer to the competition: the need to maintain a cheery facade.

Dauwalter foresaw the implications: “You’re going to go through a low point sometime. In a normal ultra, if you break down and shed some tears, you can find an isolated rock to sit on. No one sees you break. But in this format, you’re always visible to each other. I saw a few photos from last year’s race and Guillaume [the eventual winner] was cheesing it up, super positive the whole time. There’s going to be some head games being played, for sure.”

By the start of the second day, with 100 miles pounded into their legs and nothing that would count as sleep, 30 competitors remained. The favorites—Dauwalter, Guillaume Calmettes, Maggie Guterl, Joe Frejes, Johan Steene, Andres Villagran, Peter Cromie, Andy Pearson—were just getting started, though a few had already fallen. And every drop came as a surprise to the other runners—she had looked so good.

“They do a great job of never showing weakness” Cantrell said.

“You’ve never seen a group of people with fewer complaints. If you stand

Submitted photo around in the start corral, they’ve never felt better, but in their camps they’ll say, ‘Everyone’s feeling better than me,’ and their crew will have to say, ‘No no, everyone’s dying.’ Your opponent won’t quit if they think you’re about to go out. If they hear you complaining or looking bad, even if they were going to quit, they’ll say, ‘Scratch that, I’m going on.’”

Throughout the second day, there was steady attrition. The previous women’s top performer, Marcy Beard, dropped at 30 hours, having broken her own mileage record by one loop. Ecuadoran Andres Villagran, who had been looking invincible, gave up at 38 hours and 158.3 miles.

He had been routinely hammering out 39-minute loops, but in a pattern that spelled imminent doom for many, his 36th, 37th, and 38th loops were over 50 minutes.

Consistency seemed to be the key, and the remaining runners’ loops varied by only a minute or two, most in the 45-minute range. But the weakening effect of enormous mileage, mere minutes of sleep, minimal hygiene, and obligatory eating was undeniable. There was less chatting.

PROFILE Competitors, some favoring a knee or hip, crossed the mat and immediately disappeared into their tent or their camp, sat, ate, drank, changed socks, closed eyes. “Life existed between the whistles,” Dauwalter told me when we talked after the race. “All you had to do was make sure you were back in the start corral.”

On the first day, runners responded to the three-minute whistle; by the second day, no one got out to the start corral before the 30-second countdown, trying desperately to take advantage of every second of rest. No one except for Dauwalter, that is.

“At the 30-second countdown, when no one was in the starting corral with me, it crossed my mind that maybe they weren’t coming, maybe they quit. But 30 seconds is an eternity. Like clockwork, they’d come strolling over with 15 seconds to go. You can’t let yourself think like that,” she said.

The 44th hour, in the depths of the second night, claimed Maggie Guterl, Dauwalter’s running buddy and the only other woman left in the field. The happy news for Dauwalter was that Guterl immediately offered her tent. Small things like a warm place to rest, Dauwalter said, helped her stay in the game longer.

“My eyes were droopy and I was seeing a lot of weird things—a giant 12-foot tall cowboy with a yellow bucket hat twirling a rope, an ice castle, people lining up along the road. That was during the daytime,” she said. “At night, out on the road I tried to let my eyes close.

Sometimes I started thinking about how much further we might go but I consciously brought myself back to stay in the loop. I tried to keep any doubts or breaking on the inside, even from my crew. Vocalizing didn’t help anything.

Somewhere in the early 200-mile range, I may have told my crew that my legs were really tired.”

Guterl’s drop, at 183.3 miles, left five desperadoes in it for the long haul: last year’s champion, Guillaume Calmettes; two guys with good but not great endurance résumés, Greg Salvesen and Gavin Woody; Johan Steene, a Swede and former Big’s Backyard winner who’d also had a go at Barkley and had tons of multiday racing to his credit; and Dauwalter. Eight hours ground by like an eternal root canal. No one talked, no one blinked, no one dropped.

Then, suddenly, Calmettes barely finished the 52nd loop—59:42. He seemed to recover somewhat on the 53rd, finished the 54th in 53:13, and was done.

Dauwalter’s next loop was one of her fastest, and Cantrell wondered aloud if it was a statement of her confidence. Facebook spectators seriously entertained the possibility that the last man standing might be a woman. “If I

wanted a few more minutes to change shoes or rest, I tried to be a little more efficient, faster in the loop, but there was no psychological warfare going on out there. I was not worrying about sending a message—my brain was not processing well enough for that,” explained Dauwalter.

Fifty-six hours and 233.3 miles in, Greg Salvesen caved. Nine awful hours (think what you’ve done in nine hours, with benefit of a night’s sleep) and another 37 miles (let’s think about how you feel after a single 26.2-mile marathon) later, Gavin Woody laid down his cross. He’d made it 270.8 miles. Then it got dark for the third time. Only Johan Steene and Dauwalter remained.

“Everything hurt—knees, hips, feet,” Dauwalter said. “My arms were so tired, carrying a cup of water was hard. I had been faking my way through it for awhile. I was coming back on the last night with 12 minutes left. I’d eat a couple bites, try to shut my eyes, but I never had that magic nap where you wake up and feel completely refreshed.”

The whistles—three, two, one—the 30-second countdown, the bell clanged for the 66th time in 66 hours, and Steene and Dauwalter leaned forward, hoping their flayed legs would hold up.

“Johan and I were not running together. He was doing 46-minute loops and I was falling off. We’d see each other but we weren’t chatting. There was no energy for chatting. And no, I didn’t see him quitting. He was so strong, visibly running smoothly,” Dauwalter said. “We were all hiding that it was hurting; maybe that was chipping away at him too.

“There was nothing make-or-break, but slowly accumulating wear and tear, until it’s suddenly too much to overcome. It happened with Gavin—he looked totally fine. No one was showing weakness, no one seemed to be struggling to run, and suddenly, it was one too many steps. That’s what happened to me. The last two loops were a death spiral and then it was over.

“I was out. I was done, no more left. There was no more gas in the tank. If I had gone out for another loop, I’m not sure I would have made it. I would have been crumpled up out on the road somewhere. I was decently taking in food but I hadn’t actually slept. I’d been chipping away at my reserves for 67 hours and there was nothing left to chip. It wasn’t one thing, it was a zillion tiny things.

“After the 67th loop, I went into the tent, my crew was there. They did all the things we’d been doing, talking to me about getting back out for another loop, but all I wanted to do was shake Johan’s hand and send him out so he

could enjoy the last lap. I didn’t want to pretend to start; I wanted him to know it was his last lap.”

In the dead darkness of Tuesday morning, 67 hours and 279 miles after they’d started, two battered warriors shuffled to the start corral.

Dauwalter said a few words to Steene. They shook hands, the starting bell clanged, and Steene tottered off into the blackness alone. In the uncompromising world of Big’s Backyard, Dauwalter quit, and was marked, like 68 others, DNF. Steene described his required victory loop in a Facebook post: “At the moment when Courtney congratulated me and remained in the corr al as I jogged away alone into the Tennessee night I didn’t feel joy. I felt empty and without purpose. You cannot carry the illusion by yourself. It takes at least two to play. Thanks Courtney Dauwalter for taking us this far. We are good at playing this game.”

Steene’s 283 miles, run over the course of nearly three days, is a new Big’s Backyard record, well beyond Calmettes’s 245 miles, and his own 2014 winning distance of 204 miles.

But the key player in this brutal game was Dauwalter. She pushed Steene into uncharted territory. Her 279 miles obliterated the previous top women’s mark of 120 miles, and was, in fact, more hours and miles than she’d ever run.

This was not a great woman’s performance; it was an extraordinary human achievement.

Two-hundred-seventy-nine miles is the farthest anybody, save one, has ever run at Big’s Backyard.

Typically, Dauwalter’s takeaway from the race had nothing to do with how much she had suffered and endured, nor about winning or losing or strides made for women, but about learning: “I feel pretty good about how it played out now that I’ve had night of sleep and a shower. Yeah, my legs hurt really bad and that’s probably going to get worse over the next couple days, but already I’m thinking about next year’s race, what we can do differently so we’re out there even longer. I want to come back and go into the 300s. Kevin and I have never done anything close to this. We learned so much—all the ways we can work more efficiently, gear and food that would have been helpful. To have this cool experience—I was lucky to be a part of this.”

As Cantrell predicted, in Big’s unrelenting arena, Dauwalter was able to find greatness in herself. She did have a lot of time for those thoughts to coalesce.

RACES

Staying competitive

Minnesota was well represented at the USATF National Club Cross Country Championships

BY DANIEL JOHNSON

T

his summer a group of us “experi-

enced” running buddies decided to compete in the National Club Cross Country Championships. We had a solid core of guys, most of whom had recently turned 60, and wanted to see how we might stack up against national competition. Many of us have been running competitively since high school, back in the 1970’s. Quite a few of us trained around the Minneapolis chain of lakes as a part of the “Road Warriors” team.

Bobby Paxton and I competed in cross country together at rival Iowa colleges: Wartburg and Luther. Now, 40 years later, we were competing and rooming together on the same team!

This fall’s Rocky’s Run provided a nice reintroduction to the sport of cross country for many of us. It was below freezing at race time, with sleet. The course at Les Bolstad was soft and hilly. This was dramatically different from the warm summer road races to which we had grown accustomed.

At the USATF National Club Cross Country Championships, held on December 8, in Spokane, Washington, race conditions were close to ideal for Minnesota runners. It was 30 degrees and overcast. Those of us cold weather runners made the best of it. Teams from places like Atlanta and San Diego weren’t quite so excited about the cool temps. One of the San Diego runners mentioned to me afterwards their adverse weather conditions only involved occasional rain showers.

The national cross country course was mostly flat and grassy, looping around Plantes Ferry Park. It was great for spectators. For me, who regularly runs the hills in Crystal and Golden Valley, the course was disappointingly flat. The women ran 6K, while the men ran 10K, with the exception of those of us who were 60 +, we ran 8K. Run N Fun brought two teams for the 60+ race. I was pleased to be on the team that placed second in the 8K race. I came in sixth at 30:17, followed by Doug Keller, Paul Brown, Bobby Paxton and Bill Langhout. The other Run N Fun team placed 14th lead by Ken Valley, Wayne Fynboh, Dan Roden and Michael Bjornberg.

Members of a Run n Fun team are pictured at the USATF National Club Cross Country Championships. From left to right are William Langout, Doug keller, Paul brown, bobby paxton and daniel johnson. Submitted photo Team USA Minnesota’s Katy Jermann placed 10th in the Women’s Open 6K. Breanna Sieracki was close behind, coming in 13th. Joel Reichow placed a respectable 22nd in the Men’s Open 10K, while his teammate Daniel Docherty was 81st.

Run N Fun Open Women’s team placed 26th in the 6K. Lauren Rice was the top finisher, in 22:00, good for 110th. Teammates include Sasha Gallagher, Suzie Fox, Jordan Lutz and Kiley Green.

John Vodacek was the first through the shoot for the 14th place Run N Fun Men’s Open team, coming in at 30:49, for 39th place. Additional team members were Trevor Capra, Calvin Lehn, Brendan Sage and Jacob Gallagher.

Collegeville Track Club placed 35th in the Men’s Open 10K run. They were led by Paul

Nordquist, 160th in 32:38, followed by Thomas Knobbe, Zach Kughn, Jacob Eggers, Matt Burgstahler, MacCoy Benzen, Samueal Friesen and Evan Jones.

Run MN Masters 40+ team placed fourth, and was led by Eric Loeffler, who placed second in the 10K, with a time of 33:07. He was followed by team mates Eric Hartmark, Tim Hardy, Olivier Vrambout, Patrick Russell, Eric Johnson, Kenny Miller, Chris Lundstrom and Dan Feda.

Run MN Masters 50+ team ran a strong 10K race, also finishing fourth. The team was led by W Scott Lindell at 36:10, followed by Matthew Waite, Rob Economy, Jim Larranaga, Patrick Billig, Rob Class and Pete Kessler.

PROFILE

A MULTIFACETED RUNNER Get to know Doug Krohn of Carver, Minnesota

BY PATRICK O’REGAN

I

n any field of endeavor, but – as it seems to me, at least – especially running, people often slip the urges of their talent, holding it off for years, until, often suddenly, it wakes within them and extends an invitation to be taken advantage of. So it was with Doug Krohn. He didn’t really come into his own as an outstanding (2:32:12 marathon) runner until after his college days. This profile, then, is the story of a runner who, from a humble athletic beginning, discovered that he had a talent for running and thereafter got all he could from the gift he had been given. And more, when his days as an outstanding marathoner were over, Doug went on to promote running in a variety of ways – coaching, race management, recruiting, announcing and so forth – doing what he could to get others involved in the great sport of running. He truly is a Renaissance man and promoter of the sport.

Summary of a Running Life If you discount running away from an angry older brother, Doug grew up without athletic influences. He was just another active youngster in Carver, Minnesota. But he had friends on the high school track team who got him out for track.

He ran the 440 and 660 his first two years (19691970), clearly not distances he was meant to run.

He hated it. “God bless their hearts,” Doug said of the coaches. “They really didn’t coach much.”

Strangely, he was pointed in the right direction by the tragic death of a friend, Crae Degler, who was an outstanding two miler. Doug wanted to run that distance as a tribute to him. The coaches insisted on the mile. He became a good high school miler, posting a personal best of 4:53 and placing third in the conference championship as a senior. But he was better than that.

Two years after graduating from high school (1972), allowing some time to work, run a little, grow and mature, Doug joined the Air Force. “In basic training,” he recalled, “I started to notice that running came easy to me.” He also learned about disciplined training and teamwork. During the mile run of PT tests, he would finish far ahead of the others. “Okay, Mr. Runner,” the sergeant would say, “keep going. Run another one.”

WINTER 2019

Doug Krohn, standing, is pictured with Dick Beardsley. Beardsley’s advice to the young man who wanted to start running marathons was to ‘run, run and run some more.’ Submitted photo Perforce, being a member of a team mattered to him.

After four years in the Air Force, Doug headed for Minot State College, just down the road from the base to which he had been assigned. There, some urge getting a hold of him, in his junior year Doug approached the cross country coach, Wiley Wilson, about getting on the team. The coach told him to get changed and promptly put him into an indoor mile against the All American runner, Tim Francis. Without training, Doug ran 5:30. “It was grueling,” he said. “I didn’t get pacing.” But he would learn. The practices were mostly five minute mile repeats in parks.

This kind of intensive training was new to Doug.

“Everything hurt,” he said. He fell under the influence of two outstanding runners – Tim Francis and Bill Schalow. “I was learning by doing,” Doug said. He would slow it down in practice, saving it for the races. In his senior year, though still losing to most of the good runners he faced, he could say to himself, “I get it now. I get pacing.”

After college (1980), with a degree in business management, Doug kept running. He was determined to try a 10K. In his first attempt at that distance, he ended up third behind two college All American runners. As he recalled, “I ran al-

PROFILE most effortlessly in 36 minutes.” His talent now fully awake, he wanted to run a marathon. He drove up to Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth the next spring, just to watch the finish of the race.

Encountering the great marathoner, Dick Beardsley, Doug approached and told him he wanted to get into marathoning. “What do I need to do?” he asked. Dick said, “You need to do three things – run, run and run some more.” Dick also told him to leave his watch at home when he ran his first marathon. “Don’t worry about your time. Just relax and get comfortable with it.”

Keeping Dick’s advice in mind, Doug ran the Twin Cities Marathon in the fall of 1981. He ended up running with a group of Masters runners from Chicago. “I didn’t know what I was doing,” Doug recalled. “I just ran comfortably with them.” He finished in a very respectable 2:56, on the basis of running 50 miles a week for seven months. “I was hungry for the next one,” he recalled. “The pace work from college had hit home. I knew I now needed speed work.” Doug started training with Lenny Beard, a 2:27 marathoner, following his notion that it’s better to run with someone who is better than oneself. They would run a 20 mile run every Saturday and get to a track for speed work. With steady improvement, they ran Grandma’s and the Twin Cities marathons.

When Lenny moved on, Doug trained with Tom Stambaugh, a 2:25 marathoner, who also knew Beardsley. On two occasions, the three of them ran together. Doug continues to stay in touch with Beardsley to this day. “He’s such a motivator,” Doug said. “Always on cloud nine.” Now married to Lisa, Doug shared with Dick the experience of adopting children at about the same time – Doug’s daughter from Korea, Mandy, and Dick’s son, Andy. Doug and Tom would train together for two years, meeting every Saturday to run 20 miles around a lake in the Cities. They ran the Omaha River Front Marathon, which Tom won. Doug was thirteenth in 2:34. Other people who would come into the training routine with Doug included Bruce Mortenson, Doug Suker and Harry Cottrell.

Boston gets into every marathoner’s blood at one time or another. Doug determined to run his first Boston in 1984. His last long run before the race was a 20 miler with Ron Daws, the local Olympian in the marathon and running guru. “It was painfully slow,” Doug recalled. Daws liked the long slow distance philosophy of training.

Doug didn’t. The first Boston was a tune up. He ran 2:54. Two years later, he would run it again.

This time in 2:36.

During this time, Doug would meet many of the great runners of the era. Once, at Boston for the marathon, he happened to be in Bill Rodgers running store, run by Charlie Rodgers, brother of

Doug Krohn runs Grandma’s marathon in the 1980’s. he had his personal best in 1986 with a time of 2:32:12 to finish 32nd. Submitted photo the great runner, when a little man came in. “Aren’t you Bill Rodgers?” Doug asked. “Yeah, and what’s your name?” Rodgers said. Another time, Doug ended up on an elevator in Boston with a woman. “You’re Joan Benoit Samuelson!” Doug said to her, recognizing the great woman marathoner and winner of the first Olympic marathon for women. “Yeah,” she said. “Who are you?”

They chatted. She signed his race number.

Doug improved. Training hard, he set his sights on Grandma’s Marathon in 1986. “I remember the day like yesterday,” Doug said. “I was always well prepared and well rested for marathons, but that day I toed the starting line

feeling really good.” He ran his personal record of 2:32:12, finishing 32nd out of over 6,000 runners. At the finish line, he thought, “What are those 31 people in front of me doing differently than I am?” He set his sights on the Twin Cities Marathon that fall, thinking he could get another personal record. He finished in 2:33:10. “I’m proud of that 2:32:12,” Doug said. “That’s the best I had. I put it all out there.” He would run the Chicago Marathon at age 50, his last one (of 20). He finished in 3:10. “That was the only time I hit the wall,” he said. “It was the hardest one.”

PROFILE Continued from page 19 Lisa and Doug keep a beautiful pair of Golden Retrievers. Coming down the stairs one day, Doug tripped on one of the dogs and fell hard, tearing a quadriceps from the bone. Two surgeries later, he’s back to running, but with just the occasional 5K race.

He recalls the joy of it all: “Running can be so nice. Running right along in a little 10K fun run, effortlessly, throwing in two 5:15 miles, just for fun, breaking free of the crowd, pulling away, with hardly a strain…”

Training Doug’s approach to training for a marathon can be reduced to a few simple rules: • Running no more than three marathons a year was key to his success. After each one, he knew what he had to do for the next one, and had the time to do it.

• It’s a good idea to train with runners who are better than you. If you can run with them from time to time, it will do wonders for your self-confidence.

• Speed workouts are necessary. Doug says he lived and died by repeat miles with a lap jog between each.

• Of course one must run long distances. A 20 mile run once a week suited Doug. He didn’t like the Long Slow Distance of Arthur Lydiard (and Ron Daws). It seemed painfully slow.

• “I just loved the hills,” Doug said. “No hill in a marathon scared me.”

• For top flight running, 70 miles a week in the cold months and 100-110 miles a week in the summer was fine, with hills and track workouts for variety. Think quality rather than quantity. “I sometimes wonder,” Doug said, “if I might have done better had I not done so much quantity, but more quality.”

Race Management

Coaching As a certified trainer, Doug was the head of the Life Time Fitness Running Club in Chanhassen, Minnesota. A few rules Doug follows in coaching: • Know your goals. What do you want to accomplish? If this is to be a marathon and it is your first one, just run it. Forget about the time.

• Keep a training log. This will tell you if you are ready for the big race.

• Listen to others; absorb everything you can.

• A good schedule for the novice marathoner is to get up to 60 miles a week with track workouts of two one-mile repeats, hill workouts and a 20 miler every other week.

• Cross training and weights for the upper body are good ideas.

• Keep it simple and have fun.

The Rest of Life Doug stays active. For work, as noted, he manages four to five races a year. He also drives a bus taking veterans to the VA hospital in Minneapolis. He does some coaching; the dogs need to be walked and the usual business of living attended to. He lifts weights and runs to stay in shape. He and his running buddies – John Naslund, Bruce Mortenson, Jared Mondry, Paul Brown, Chad Austin, Doug and others – get together at the Scoreboard restaurant every month for the camaraderie and talk of running.

When he looks back on his running life, he takes immense satisfaction in the thought – “I knew I had peaked. I left nothing in the tank. There was nothing more I could have done to get better than I was.”

With a degree in business management and a variety of business work experience over the years, Doug was well equipped to manage races.

He also had the perfect attitude: “I love to motivate people,” he said. “Get them active, even if just walking a 5K. The key is to pass the love of running on to other folks.”

For years, Doug was on the recruitment com mittee for the Twin Cities Marathon.

He recruited wheelers and elite able bodied runners for the race. In one push, he went to Atlanta for a gathering of wheelers. His approach to the wheelers was pitch perfect. “I told them,” Doug said, “that I wanted them to come to the TCM as athletes, I want to treat you like athletes and not just wheelers.” Many ended up coming.

For many years, Doug has been a race announcer (he has a wonderfully resonant voice).

20

In the early years, he announced the races organized for women by Mae Horns, mother of Olympian Janis Klecker. This expanded into organizing his own races. With the philosophy of making racing fun for the whole family, Doug and his college buddy Bill Schalow got Solemotion Race Management in full swing. Doug applies a personal touch to the races, bantering with the crowd as announcer and making the race fun for the kids, too. He and Bill have started a number of races that continue to this day. Bill manages eight or nine races a year in Fargo, North Dakota; Doug manages four or five a year locally. The top race on Doug’s schedule is the Don’t Worry Be Hoppy 5K race in Waconia, Minnesota, which has 700 to 800 runners. The whole thing is a lot of work, but Lisa and Mandy help, and he loves it.

ADVICE

JOINING THE GROUP How to find the best running group for you

BY SHEILA MULROONEY ELDRED

W

hen Tammy Williams was look-

ing for a running club in the Twin Cities, she had a list of specific criteria: she wanted a group that was made up of all women of color, offered support beyond running tips and would embrace all speeds, including walking.

And, she found it. The local chapter of Black Girls Run met all of her criteria - and then some.

“It came at a critical time in my life when I was going through a divorce,” she says. “So when I joined the group my world was upside down, and it was a nice outlet for me.”

“It wasn’t just luck that matched Williams with her dream running group. The Twin Cities has such a plethora of running teams, clubs and groups that most everyone can find what they’re looking for, say long time local running advocates. The running group scene is unique in Minnesota for a couple of reasons. First, it’s not dominated by one gigantic club such as the New York Road Runners Club in New York (NYRRC), the Chicago Area Runners Association (CARA) in Chicago or the Houston Track Club in Houston.” The MDRA (Minnesota Distance Running Association) isn’t a club in the same sense; it’s a non-profit organization that provides support and connections to runners in various forms, including this magazine.

It’s hard for smaller groups to flourish when one club has so many numbers, says Pete Miller, runner and owner of The Lakes Running Company and former director of Lifetime Fitness’ national running programs. “Also, in general, we tend to have a really strong running community here, and a lot of people with entrepreneurial spirit.”

Whether you’re a millennial looking for a beer at a microbrewery after a casual run, a new mom looking for a group to run with tots in strollers or a competitive Master looking to score points for a team, there’s most likely a group for you. Finding it, however, can be

more challenging -- there’s no centralized list of every running club in the state. Read on for some tips from local running leaders.

1. Set your priorities. Think about which category you belong in -- see sidebar. Ask yourself these questions: Am I looking for a group that will challenge me or support me? How important is it to have a coach or a defined goal? Do I want to make new friends or find people who just want to run together?

2. Visit a local running store. (Yes, in real life.) Ever since the running boom of the 1970s, running stores have been eager to talk about the local running scene. It’s still true today.

Look for a group with a passionate organizer. “Find a group with a charismatic leader; otherwise it won’t be around for long,” advises Rick Recker, a local runner who just retired after 20 years as president of USATF Minnesota. “If you don’t have someone passionate about it, it goes away.”

5. Call the group and ask lots of questions.

“Talk to the leadership of whatever group you’re interested in and find out if they can serve runners like you, whatever category you put yourself in,” Miller says. Don’t forget the social aspects. Do you want a club that gets beers together after workouts, or an organized yearly party -- or do you want to get your run in and go home?

Movitational benefit

Whatever your priorities, the motivational benefits of group running are many.

“The obvious one is that if someone is waiting for you, the chance of you showing up is better,” Recker says. “And some of the groups encourage you with little contests. For example, Mill City Running keeps track of how many workouts you do with them. Last year I got to 50 and they gave me a water bottle.”

Williams, meanwhile, has graduated from being a member to becoming the group’s am-

Most groups fit in these few categories Most running groups in the Twin Cities fall into one of several categories: The USATF Minnesota Team Circuit: These racing teams, most of which are affiliated with running stores, are for competitive, goal oriented runners. “People need to realize there’s a commitment to be on the team,” Miller says. “They’re going to ask you to do a certain number of events, so you have to think about what your commitment level and desire to race frequently is.”

The Unstructured Running Club: Year round groups that people can attend on a regular or drop in basis. Many incorporate strength training as well, and some have racing teams. Most of these workouts can be adjusted for beginners, Miller points out. Examples include NorthStar Running, WeRunMpls, and the November Project.

Groups pursuing a specific race/goal: Think Couch to 5K. Examples include MDRA (with training classes for Grandma’s and the Twin Cities Marathon events), Moms on the Run, Girls on the Run. (Some, such as the Calhoun Beach Club and Club Run, offer options for specific race training or general running.)

Purely Social: Example: Run.Beer.Repeat.

Enough said.

bassador. And she’s not letting anyone off the hook. “One girl from Memphis just joined, and I think it was very important to her to connect with other African American women,” she says.

“And she lives close to Bde Maka Ska so I can call her and make sure she comes.”

SAFETY

The perils and perfection of winter running Tips for winter running: plan, stay warm and be seen

BY NATE LECKBAND

I

first started winter running in December of 2009. I’d run my first marathon, the Twin Cities Marathon, the previous October.

I had my sights set on running a Boston qualifying time (BQ) at the Lake Wobegon Trail Marathon in May. Running a BQ meant training over the winter.

I could have exclusively used the treadmill at the YMCA or in our apartment complex’s tiny exercise area. Instead I wanted to embrace the cold winter, not hide indoors churning out miles on a spinning belt.

When tackling outdoor winter running, there are several things to keep in mind. Doing things right can be the difference between peril and perfection. Traction, warmth and visibility are vital to have a safe and successful winter running experience. Of those three, traction has been the most difficult for me, so I’ll share a couple stories of winter traction gone wrong.

Check out the side bar for specific tips on all three elements of a perfect winter run.

Back when I was training in the winter of 2009-2010, I ran outside most days before work. I prepared all the prerequisites: reflective vest, headlamp and some sort of traction on my shoes. However, on several runs, I couldn’t seem to get the traction right.

One morning, I was running through a small park when I slipped on some ice and fell. My head hit ice with an air pocket underneath. A sound like shattering glass filled the silence of the early morning run. Somehow, maybe because of the air pocket, my head was fine.

I finished my six mile run without incident, but when I got back to my apartment and reached for my key, it was no longer in my

SAFETY pocket. I knew right where it was. I ran back to the park, which was only half a mile from my home, and there was the key, right next to the shattered ice.

Michelle Baxter, a runner and running coach in Anchorage, Alaska, told me a different sort of story about traction problems. It seems that human runners are not the only creatures that struggle with traction.

“I was running one morning,” she said, “when a I saw a moose behind a fence.”

Seeing a moose on a run in Anchorage is not unusual. In fact, runners in Alaska may see more moose than Minnesotans see whitetailed deer.

“The moose walked into the street,” Michelle continued. When the moose tried to run away, she said, “It looked at me, stopped, did a Bambi shuffle on the street and fell down.”

While we may search for that perfect run in the winter time, it’s not going to go perfectly every time - just ask that moose.

Tips for winter running Plan a safe route and plan for good traction Find out in advance if the sidewalks and paths you use are going to be cleared of snow and ice. Use some sort of traction product like YakTrax, Due North Everyday Traction aids or various other products.

Several running shoe companies also make winter running specific shoes. Research before you buy a traction product or shoe. They’re not cheap, so aim to get your purchase right the first time.

If you’re unsure about the safety of running outdoors, bite the bullet and do some sort of indoor exercise.

Tell someone your route and when you plan to be back. Memorize a couple of cell phone numbers you could call if you get stuck in the cold due to injury or becoming too cold. Cold weather can drain cell phone batteries, so don’t count on one, especially on a longer run.

Stay Warm Test out your warm running gear on some shorter runs so you know you’ll be comfortable on a longer run. I like to start my runs running into the wind. That way, I’m not getting all sweaty running with the wind to my back then turning around and getting chilled by a headwind. Running in wooded areas is helpful since the trees act as wind blocks.

See and Be Seen Running in the winter often means running in the dark. Make sure you’re wearing visible clothing and/or a reflective or lighted vest, especially if you’re going to be running on the side of a road. Invest in a good headlamp and/or a running specific flashlight.
