Presidential Perspective Michael Harvey

Why do you enter a race you can’t possibly win? As a runner, there is a good chance that someone has or will ask you this question. In all honesty, it is a fair question. The truth of the matter is that most of us have zero chance of winning a race. We have all probably heard or given some of the standard answers. I race to improve my times. I race against myself. To a non-runner these may sound a bit more like a justification than a real reason. Ironically, during the year I have served as the President of this running club I haven’t entered a single race. It wasn’t a conscious decision, it just sort of happened, as life often does. It has taught me a great deal about the benefits of competitive running. Yes, I ran to PR. Yes, I loved the spirit of competition. So if asked the question posed above, my answers would have been pretty much the same. What I didn’t realize was the all the other aspects of competitive running that I just took for granted. Here is what I have learned: 1. Competition keeps you motivated. Yes, I’ve had a hectic year full of life-

changing events, but I could have run more consistently than I did. Not having an upcoming race made it much easier to skip a long run on a Saturday morning, or run a shorter distance than I had planned. It was so easy to just say, “eh…I’m not training for anything”. I almost never did that when I had an upcoming race. 2. Racing is fun. Looking back, doing well in a race is a thrill, but I’ve had races where I didn’t run particularly well, but still had a really good time. 3. Racing is social. I have met more people at races than I can count, and I have gotten to know people better because of racing. Whether it’s car-pooling with someone to race, sharing a room the night before a distant race, or just having a drink and talking about your race with someone at the bar, it builds bonds. We are runners, and running draws us together and has an amazing ability to build friendships that can last a lifetime. I miss it. I miss all of you. So the next time someone asks you why you pay money to enter a race you can’t possibly win, you can say anything you want, but the next time someone asks me, I think I will just smile and say, “you wouldn’t understand. Why don’t you enter a race and see for yourself ”. Go Wicked!

Wicked Grand Prix Series 2015

T.R. Ramsdell

We’re closing in folks. The year is coming to an end very soon, and we’ve had a great response to this year’s Grand Prix series. It’s awesome seeing so many of you come out to races, put on that red Wicked jersey, and go after it. Whether it’s conquering a new distance, chasing a PR, or even beating your favorite running buddy, I love seeing that sea of red shirts representing Wicked. Other clubs notice us too. On many occasions I’ve had members of other clubs come up to me and comment on our numbers and sheer enthusiasm that Wicked brings to races. Well done guys and gals, well done indeed. Since last we spoke, we had the Lone Gull 10K take place on Sept 20th in Gloucester. This has always been a great all around race, whether it be the beautiful course along the ocean, or the breakfast served after, it’s always been a perennial favorite. There were 51 Wicked runners that took part this year, with several enjoying some extra miles before and after the race to get in a long run for the day. This year we saw the return of the Rowley Poker Run 5K to the WGP series. I’ve always liked this race. Very flat and very fast, it’s always been a favorite for breaking PRs, and this year didn’t disappoint. It seems like everyone I talked to that day broke their 5K PR ( I as well, finally broke 20 min with a 19:47). Great job to the 39 Wicked runners that took part!

The last regular series race for 2015 will be the Wild Turkey 5 miler on Thanksgiving morning in Salem. This is the biggest race on the North Shore with 1800 runners taking part last year. This year could hit 2000, so get registered early so you can be sure to get a shirt. It’s a great way to get the blood moving and prepare for all that food you’ll be shoving into yourself at dinner. And what better way to justify that extra slice of pie than to say to all your dinner companions “Why yes, since I raced 5 miles this morning while most of you were sleeping, I think I will have another slice of pie, thank you”. Get out and run this one, and don’t forget the team photo about 10 minutes before the start in front of the Gazebo on the Common. One last piece of business is the relay of all relays. The Mill Cities relay happens on Sunday Dec 6 this year. If you’ve done this before, no need to continue reading, just let me know that you want in and I’ll make it happen. If by some strange twist you don’t know what I’m talking about, listen up. When the call goes out, just say yes. This is the most fun you’ll ever have running with your team mates. Controlled chaos is how I like to refer to it. Five person teams leap-frogging over one another, 27 miles, 5 legs of varying length, 2 states and one very long river all add up to the biggest day of running all year. Check your email for all the gory details, and when I ask, just say yes. Trust me. That’s it for now gang. Once again, I want to thank my WGP series co-coordinator and numbers guru, Don “Galloooch” Gallucci. This is the guy that does most of the work honestly. Although behind the

curtain, so to speak, this guy crunches all the numbers and results and keeps us all up to date with who’s leading who in the standings. I write the column and have my pic on the page, but this dude is the real hero. When you see him, be sure and thank him for all the time he puts into it. Thank you Don for another great year!!! I’ll see y’all at the Wild Turkey. C’mon, who’s in?

Running Safy by T.R. Ramsdell Guess what guys and gals? In case you haven’t noticed, it’s no longer Summer out there. Now while we all lament the disappearing warm weather, my focus this month is on safety. Along with the colder temperatures, comes early evening darkness. Many of us don’t have the luxury of running in the middle of the day when things are brightly lit. Which means we are out running late afternoon or evening once we get out of work, which means in the dark. Now I’ve seen some of your figure fitting, skin tight, black tights, and as flattering as they are, they make you very hard to see at night. While it’s always fun think of yourself as “ninja fast”, the truth is you can’t outrun a car. You need to make yourself as visible as possible with brightly colored neon shirts or jackets. Headlamps, reflective vests, wrist straps. I’ve seen all kinds of cool safety gear lately. I actually wear my headlamp wrapped around my hand so I can see the road before me, and also give an oncoming car a quick flash with the light so they realize that I’m a runner and not just a distant porch light up ahead. Whatever you can do to make yourself seen.

The Ques? tion is

And because we tend to want to run on roads less traveled, it usually presents the problem of no sidewalks, which means running in the street. Worse yet, as snow season approaches, we find ourselves quite often with no sidewalks even shoveled or plowed to run on anyway. Most drivers are very considerate when it comes to dealing with us. They’ll give way and pass us with plenty of room. But there are quite a few that can be real jack asses. Sometimes they are looking down at their phone or whatever and never see us until it’s too late. Sometimes they think its funny to swerve real quick at us to make us jump, or lay on the horn as they go by. Really?!? This is somehow funny? A 4000 pound chunk of steel against 175 pounds of flesh and bones. Some people are just idiots. Ask me how many mirrors I’ve punched off cars that have done this to me. Point is folks, protect yourself. Be smart. Wear the lights. Be very aware of oncoming cars. Assume they don’t see you. Run facing the traffic so you can see what’s coming at you. Run single file. Sure it’s easier to chat when you’re shoulder to shoulder, but only when it’s safe to do so. I, like many of you, run all year long, and I do it outside because I hate the Dread-mill. But we need to be careful out there. Winter is coming and it’s only going to get worse. This concludes this month’s Public Safety Announcement.

...

... Why did you start

running?

Valerie Mathews - I started running after watching the Airman’s Run at my husband’s basic training graduation. I had tried to run before but I would always stop when it got too hard and I never thought that I could do it... I went back to my hotel that day feeling inspired, got on the hotel treadmill, and ran my first mile ever. I cried, and when I came home I started training for my first 5k and haven’t looked back since...

Katia Demello Rindeiko - It was more like a team building with my older job and we all signed up for a race in Chelsea in 2012. Then I couldn’t stop running! Micki Shinnick - I started running to help me with my asthma. I had been on tons of medications for a long time to treat it. I never thought I could run, when walking left me out of breath. One of my family members also has asthma and ran the Boston Marathon. Seeing him do this was the kick in the butt to try it. Running has helped my control my asthma with fewer medications.

Race Review by Mark DeLuca Marathon du Médoc September 12, 2015 Pauillac, France Since before I even started running, I had heard rumors of a marathon in Bordeaux, France, where runners drink wine as they go. Once I had a couple marathons under my belt, I did a little research online and found that not only did this race indeed exist, but it took place in the Médoc sub-region and was officially sanctioned and was hosted by some of the most famous châteaux. Normally I try to avoid races that gild the lily too much (marathons are already fun, why do you need a cover band playing ‘70s rock while you run?), but this was an event that combined two of my favorite activities, so I just couldn’t resist. The race sells out very quickly in March, but I managed to get a number, as did my brother and my sister-in-law (who isn’t a runner but enjoys drinking wine). The Médoc marathon always has the runners dress in costume according to a theme, and as this was the 31st running, the theme was “The Marathon puts on its 31.” Apparently this is a French expression that means something like “dress to the nines” or “put on your Sunday best”, so I came in a tuxedo shirt with the sleeves cut off and a black bow tie. Not my usual thing, but then neither is drinking wine during a race. This felt in keeping with everything else – beginning with the expo the day before and especially when we got to the start on race day, everything was a little different than what I’m used to, but in a fun way. So anyway, the race! I don’t envy the

people whose task it is to devise the course each year. It has to pass by each of the hosting châteaux – which changes yearly, since more want to participate than the race can accommodate – but still start and finish in the same place in the town center of Pauillac after 42.2 km (in rural France, there aren’t many streets wide enough or long enough for 10,000 runners to line up). That meant that this year there was a “fictitious start” where we lined up, 700 meters before the start mat. This wasn’t much of a problem because like any big marathon, it was too crowded to really be running at that point anyway. After the real start, the race turned onto small country roads and paths through vineyards– usually asphalt, but sometimes gravel or dirt (or really mud, it rained on race day). After about a kilometer or two, there was a breakfast stop giving out mini pastries, and another kilometer beyond that, the wine stops started. They didn’t give out full glasses of wine (with the number of stops, that would be dangerous), just tastes of a couple ounces, sometimes in little plastic cups, but sometimes in real wine glasses. The race remained crowded for much of the first half, and the wine stops were packed with other runners. The second stop at Château

Lafite Rothschild was especially mobbed, as one would expect of the region’s most expensive wine. That was the only first growth on the course, but most of the

rest of the wines were classified-growth or Cru Bourgeois – the kind of stuff I’d bring to Christmas dinner or better. It was always red wine, except for the very first stop, which also had some sort of aperitif, the very last stop, which also had rosé, and one Belgian-themed stop in the middle that served beer and waffles (pourquois pas?). I came into the race with the strategy of stopping and enjoying every wine, but running in between stops, and I was able to stick to this pretty consistently. I knew it wasn’t a PR course, so I planned to go at an easy pace, but after I had a few tastes of wine in me, I began to get a little less cautious and really enjoy myself. This meant I was constantly passing slower runners who either drank faster or skipped a stop entirely, but after the first 10 km or so, there was enough room to maneuver and this became part of the fun. Around the middle of the course, there was a stretch of 5 km on paved roads with no wine, so I was able to cover some territory relatively quickly and put myself in a different part of the field. In the second half of the race, things were much less crowded and I was able to get a refill if I wanted to (which I only did one or three times). Not everybody was drinking the wine in this part of the pack – the volunteers at one wine stop even cheered when I came over for a glass while the other runners kept going. I didn’t count how many tastes I had (I’d guess around 20), but I didn’t skip any, and I made sure to drink plenty of water and eat plenty of orange slices, banana chunks, and whatever other random food was on offer – sandwiches, wine grapes, cherry tomatoes, sugar cubes, cheese slices, and an ice cream bar. I skipped the raw oysters, though. I’m not a maniac. I finished the race in high spirits, having run a full marathon and probably con-

The Wicked Running Register • September/October 2015 • newsletter@wickedrunningclub.com sumed at least a full bottle’s worth of red wine. In addition to the finisher’s medal, they gave me a messenger bag, a plastic cup, and a bottle of wine – Château

not your best option. Besides the wine, there are crowds, hills, and dirt roads that turn to mud – just under 4 hours was good enough to put me in the top 5% of finishers. On the other hand, it was the most fun I’ve ever had in a marathon and the best-tasting sports drinks of any race anywhere. I give it 5 cats... please drink responsibly. Also while we were on vacation in France, my brother and I both visited Paris, and we took a picture in Wicked gear in front of the Eiffel tower.

Liversan 2012 – in a commemorative wooden box. It was my slowest finish since my very first marathon, but I kept under 4 hours and I beat my brother for the first time ever.

Member Spotlight KATIA DEMELLO RINDEIKO Joined Wicked because: I am a late beginner as I started to run in 2012 with the Chelsea Chase 5K as my debut for an official race. After that I felt inflamed and I wanted to be able to do better and more. Since then I had ups and downs with my family schedules but it seems that I have more control now and support. I had found the sup-

port at WRC immensely! The welcome after I finally purchased my singlet for Mills Cities last year was a life change. I meet so many magnificent people that give out support and understand and go thru some common issues. I love my wickeds and I am blessed to be part of a great running club!

When I’m not running: The chores of a regular life as a spouse,

mother of 2 girls, a FT job and running a house is just what I do when I am not running or training for a triathlon.

Run For The Trails Myopia Schooling Fields Hamilton, MA On September 19th, I ran Essex County Trail Association’s “Run for the Trails” 10 mile trail race. Essex County Trail Association (ECTA) is a conservation group that works to protect access to trails and open lands in the towns of Hamilton, Wenham, Ipswich, Topsfield, Essex, and West Newbury. ECTA members and volunteers do a lot of work in the trails themselves, helping to make sure that they are easily accessible and well maintained. ECTA hosts many different events throughout the year, including this 5 and 10 mile trail race through some of the trails that they maintain. The Run for the Trails race is part of New England Running Company’s trail series, and has been around for 11 years now. The race consists of a five mile loop that

in the NERC series, as well as those of us who think that “five miles isn’t enough”, run the ten mile race. Everyone else runs the five miler, or “just one loop”. This was my third year running the ten mile race. This year, the race was slightly different that it has been for the last two years. Anyone who’s done the race before knows about the hill- the one that goes straight up, and seems to go on forever… Well, that was taken out of this year’s race course in order to showcase some of the new trails that volunteers had been working on, which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, the course was nice-

Wicked CPR Training On October 25, 11 members of the Wicked Running Club learned the “ups and downs” of CPR from member, David Bishop. David is a firefighter in Chelsea and a longtime paramedic who loves to teach and was excited for the opportunity to share his knowledge with club members. He has been a first responder at a number of incidents with athletes and knows just how crucial fast and effective response can be. Members gathered in small groups with their Rescue Annies provided by the Chelsea Fire Department for a 90 minute session. All learned the steps for providing CPR to adults, children,

and infants through both videos and hands-on practice. Each attendee also received a booklet about basic first aid techniques. Club training was inspired by member Kerry Phelan, who is the recipient of the American Red Cross 2015 Hero Award. On July 13, 2014, she and two others assisted a jogger who had collapsed. Because of the emergency care provided, the victim made a full recovery. Special thanks to Firefighter Bishop and the Chelsea Fire Department for making the class possible. Keep your eye out for a late winter/early spring session.

there were some great single track trails, as well as a good mix of wider access roads. We ran through fields and past horses grazing, and even spent some time running alongside a brook and over wooden footbridges. As trail races go, this is a great one to pick- it’s nice that they have the two different choices for race length. Plus, the entry fee goes toward conservation and preservation of the woods and trails- what better cause for a trail race? Registration also covers a cotton t-shirt as well as post-race snacks, which include bananas, apples, and homemade soup. There is a water stop at the halfway point in the loop, hosted by some delightful older ladies who are very happy to fill your water and congratulate you on your achievement.
