Moriarty takes conservative route Anne Myers ' intensified training pays off with Win By Ed Cloos

Triathon champion Dennis M oriarty is used to endurance events, but winning the inaugural Hil­ton-Greater Rochester Track Club marathon Oct. 21 was tougher than d triathlon , he said. even though he wasn't really pushed.

Leading nearly all the way, Moriarty won in 2:37:25, about d quarter of a mile ahead of Ric Perry, 41 , of Chili (2:39:09), the lirst masters linish­er. II was Perry's first time under 2:40 - he'd missed by eight seconds last year.

University 01 Rochester chemistry professor Anne Myers, 32, was Hrst woman in 3:07:53 . She finished 12th overall, more than 13 minutes - nearly two miles - ahead of runnerup Laura Francz, 29, 01 Rochester.

Bill Fuller, 51 , of Livonia ran a remarkable race 10 fin ish third (actually lied with training partner Dave Coyne, 39, of Avon) in 2:45:06_ Although Hilton is 20 miles from downtown Rochester, the race is considered the 19th annual version of the Roches­ter Marathon, so Fuller broke the 50-54 age group record set in 1 986 by Ed Stabler of Syracuse (2:47:35)_

The course was flat and last - despite a strong south wind - but the fie ld was small and lacked strength at the top level. Evidence of thai was the fifth-place finish of Mike Hornak, 37, of Rochester who ran as a training run to prepare for the Columbus (Ohio) Marathon in two weeks. He ran 2:50:24 but hoped to break 2:40 in Columbus_

The race combined a full 26_2·mile marathon and a four-person relay in which each team mem­ber ran a fourth of the full distance. The speedy Nautilus 01 Pittsford team gave hometowner Alan Mullan the opportunity to be first across the finish line in 2:26: 19, far ahead of Moriarty who normally beats all the relay teams in the Hamlin Beach Triathlon each August. As it was, MOriarty beat all the other teams.

There were 142 individual finishers and 27 relay teams.

How The Race Went Alt hough winning marglns were comfortable,

there were uncertain moments along the way. Mor­iarty and Perry shared the lead for five miles or so, then Moriarty moved to what seemed a comfortable lead. But John Luther of Hilton, runner-up three years ago, took a share of the lead a t 14 miles. He dropped out just past 16 miles with pain in his legs

and back. He said he'd trained just 10 weeks and wasn't really ready for a marathon.

"He told me he was hurting," Moriarty said, "so it didn' t really affect my race." Five miles later, Den­nis suffered a stitch in his side. "I had to walk a little and burp it out," he said.

Perry shared the lead with Moriarty lor much of the first live miles, then fell gradually back but ran generally along. In the late stages, however, Coyne moved up and the two shared the pacing job. "He really helped me break 2:40," Perry said_ Coyne had run under 2:36 last year, but wasn' t quite at that

level this time and dropped back. Kathy Brown, 43, of Fairport. also a former

runnerup, was the leader for more than half the race, well ahead of Myers. She dropped out at aboulthe same spot because she's preparing for the New York Marathon Nov. 4 and planned to run just 16 miles.

"I didn't know that she was going to do that, or even that it was Kathy," Myers said. "But I didn't come expecting to win, anyway. " Later she got word that Brown planned to stop and saw her when she did.

Course Was Good, but _ .. The country course generally got rave reviews

from runners, but the two loops Ihrough the heaM of the village resulted in some confusion over direc­tions and encountered heavy gOing-Io-church traf­fic.

Although the downtown section of Hilton is only one block long, runners had considerable difficulty getting across the street on their second trip through. O n the third and final time, so many were finishing the final five-mile loop while most of the field was just entering it that some followed the directions given to slower runners and headed down South Avenue for a second time. One of those was women's leader Myers.

"I'd iust gotten up the hill near 18 miles for the second time when someone came by in a pickup truck and asked me if I hadn 't been that way before," she recalled. " He said, 'you're going the wrong way, go back' so I turned around. I figure r ran about 27 miles."

"I really loved running in the country, " Perry said. He does much of his training around his job at Kodak where he is a photo·chemical planner.

Race director Walt Check, with support from village officials and up to ISO volunteers, moved the race from downtown Rochester in order to save it when costs got too high (over $25,000) and the main sIX'nsors pulled out.

Moriarty's Goals For MOriarty, it was the first open marathon in

seven years and a personal best. He ran the Iron Man in Hawaii in 1988, finishing with a 3:24 marathon.

He went to this year's race with two sets of splits written on his wrist: 5:43 pace to run under 2:30 and 5:58 pace to break 2:38 so he'd be safely under 6 minutes per mile. "I knew real soon, especially when I ran into the wind, that I'd better slick with the conservative set," he said. "The wind didn't actually bother me that much, but I didn't know how much it was taking out of me. "

He 's an e nthusiastic advocate of cross-training

... broke 2:40 in 20th marathon

which has a growing following among recreational runners. "When I was only running, I ran more miles but 1 was doing 38-minute lOKs because il was hurl all the time," Moriarty said. "Now I seldom run ove r 40 miles in a week, and a long run is 10 miles, but I do two and a half hours of aerobic work

Marathon a day dnd never gel hurt."

He tra ined wilh a. heart Ta le monitor on a. number of occasions during the spring so thai he could gauge the effort level o f the various disciplines. " I found I was maintaining 160 beals a minute for extended periods, so I didn 't feel I had 10 run too much lor conditioning. That's important when you weigh 170 pounds."

To get all thai in. he starts as early as 5:30 or 6 a.m., before going 10 his job as a computer systems designer at Kodak Park. Running comes al lunch­time or laler with biking in the evening.

Although he does what most of us would consider a huge volume of work every day, he conscientious­ly follows a hard-easy routing "with two easy days for every hard one."

He had a g reallrialhlon season, winning Hamlin once again and finishing second in his 30·34 age group at the world c hampionship triathlon Sept. 15 in O rlando.

When Myers 'Got Serious' Myers has been a recreational runner all her

adult li fe but didn 't get serious about training until she fa iled to finish the Boston Marathon in April. From 25 miles a week, she gradually increased training to 55 to 70. She tries for at least one run a week of about 14 miles but had 22·, 25· and-26 mile runs in preparation for this race. She hopes to try to break three hours in the Houston Marathon in January (she ran 3:30 this year).

She gets help and encouragement in training runs with fellow U of R chemistry department runners Dave Whitten, chairman , a standout in the 50-54 age group and Josh Goodman, who ran 2:54:35 yesterday, winning the 30-34 age group and fin ishing two places ahead of Myers.

2 0 M a ra thons for Perry Breaking 2:40 meant a lot to Perry because he'd

been so close, Not so much thai he'd accept a break, however. You may re member the Newsletter head line on last fall's Buffa lo Marathon where he ran second in an official time of 2:39 and c hange. '" told the o llicialthat it wasn 'l right - it was a minute fast - but he said, 'I'm sorry, sir, thai's the lime we have you in.'" That d idn' t satisfy Rick.

There was no major change in his training, except lor a little more speed work. He didn 't even cui back in the week before the race. "I did 20 last SundclY and 60 for the week," he said. He uses the new Genesee River path lor speed work - "I hate the track and never run on it."

Fra nk Cutting Ba ck Norm Frank completed his 412th marathon, finish · ing in 4:43:46. ''I'm just surviving them now," he

Bill Fuller . third , " bedl old record for 50·54

said, "because the arthritis condition in my hip is pretty painful." He's admitted to himsell that he'll have to back off from weekly marathons to twice a month .

Not right away, however. " I' ve got a schedule in to the middle of November," he said, ' 'I'll have to wait un ti l after that to cui back."

The Amazing Bill Fuller Fuller's 2:45 was a remarkable run at 51, but he

gave the impression that it didn't rank with Iile 's great thrills. "I ran 2:31 at the Marine Corps Marathon in '86," he recalled. He ran 2:41 in Rochester that year when he aJso lied with Coyne.

Fuller raced only a few times last year , but he trained hard this year and had outstanding races in the Utica Boilermaker and the Philadelphia Dis· tance Run.

He and Dave train together, running the IS·mile loop around Conesus Lake on a typical Sunday. They also have a shorter course - a mere 14 miles or so - but very hilly.

Age. Group Competition The small women's field meant that nearly every

finisher was an age-group winner including Diana Dudley who arrived at the finish in 5:40:06, just in lime \0 pick up an award. The race cutoH was five hours, but the clock was kept going because quite a few runners were still on the course. Hele n Bueme's 4:21 :29 at age 60 was an outstanding time,

Belinda Connor led the 35-39 group in a good 3:46:2 1, but Laurie Lublin's 4:29:26 lor third was a PR by 40 minutes and she seemed as thrilled as if she had won the race.

Only the 24-29 group had more runners than \ prizes.

Among the men, no age division was really close. Times were fastest, of course, in the 24-29 group which Mark Cook led in 2:50:45_ Michael Gardella was next in 2:53: 17, just 10 seconds ahead of Donald Ball.

Hotshots at MCC race Some of the top marathoners in the area took the

option of running a 5K on marathon morning. Sure, that's the wimpy way, but it was for a gcxxi cause­the new MCC Child Care center for which ground was broken a few weeks ago.

THE COACH'S CORNER

Runner or Jogger - or Obsessed? By Lisa Bower

Dear Coach: Please help to settle an argument. I run about five miles, three times per week at a nine minute pace. Am I a runner or just a "jogger"? -A.R.

Dear A. R.: Contrary to what you may have heard or read elsewhere, being a runner is a state of mind, not a certain pace or distance which you travel by foot. To me, there are three levels of bipedal running movement and three types of people who run: joggers, runners, and obsessive­compulsives.

A jogger is someone who goes out only on nice days (no rain, snow, or wind, and ambient temperature somewhere between freezing and frying). A jogger goes out when it is convenient to his/her schedule. A jogger wears old sweats (usually grey) and any kind of sneakers (and calls them sneakers, not running shoes) • A jogger never times him/herself and doesn't own a runner's watch. A jogger often doesn't know how far she/he has traveled but can tell you who was out raking leaves or who has a new car. A jogger avoids hills and would rather have a finger lopped off than run on a track. A jogger bas probably never competed in a race but may aspire to a 10K someday. A jogger follows no particular diet plan. And a jogger doesn' t mind being called a "jogger".

A runner, on the other hand, will run in almost any kind of . weather not hazardous to health. This means no electrical, hail, or ice storms. and. no wind chill below zero degrees Fahrenheit. A runner manipulates his/her schedule to fit a run in since it is a priority activity. A runner sports the latest

functional running fashions -tights, high-tech shoes (at least one new pair per year), and a Gore-Tex suit for those inclement weather runs. A runner always times her / himself on a runner's watch or a stopwatch and knows within a quarter of a mile how far she/he has run. A runner will try to fit in track or hill workouts to help pace and l eg strength. A runner sets goals, for example , winning an age group award or not finishing last in a marathon. A runner welcomes the opportunity to race and always compares his / her time against past performance and against others in his/her age group (especially close f riends). A runner "carbo l oads " before races (and sometimes "beer loads" after races) and tries to follow a low fat, high carbohydrate diet in general. A runner gets cranky if she / he has missed a few days or is laid up with injury or illness. And a runner always refers to him/herself as a "runner" - and is insulted, at least inwardly, to be called a "jogger" •

An obsessive-compulsive (o-c for short) runs in any kind of weather. He or she will brag "1 haven't missed a day of running in the past 12 years, even after that lightning tickle in '82". An o-c wears the latest, highest-tech running gear available neon Teflon tights, new shoes every time a new model becomes available, and Gore-Tex unde rwear. An o-c times him/ herself, knows ·to the nearest tenth of ·a mile how far she/ he has gone, always enters the data into a training log, and has a watch with capacity for twelve splits underwater (to 90 meters) in every time zone. An o-c does weekly track and hill repeats. An o- c races every

If an o-c does not get out for a daily run, he/she is impossible to live with. If an o-c is injured and can't run, get out of the way I An o-c hates to be called a "jogger" and will always correct anyone who does so - although few who know such a person would make that mistake.

Indoor Meets in Buffalo

So, are you a runner, a jogger, or an obsessive-compulsive? (I'm sure we all know some of each.) From the sound of your program, I would classify you as a runner. For whatever reasons, any runner may have to change his/her activity profile at different times of life. As long as you are flexible and sensible about limi tations, whatever works is fine with me.

If you have a question related to your running program. send it to GRTC COACH, P.O. Box 92123. Rochester. NY 14692.

Lilac City 50K

Stoy healthy and sound see you oround.

The ninth running of the Lilac City 50 k was held at the West Irondequoit High School. The event started at 12 30p , in a steady driz z le which was to co ntinue for most o f the afterno on. The temperature was fairly const ant rangin g fr om 54 to 56, hu midity at 100 \ of course, very little wind. The c inder track was completely filled with water at the northeast curve, and did not drain away until near the end o f the race. The race was won by 33 year old George Hartell of nearby Niagra Fall s, who was trying his first Ultra in Rochester, beating out Don Grim closely followed by Robert Rodriguez on his first Ultra experience .

Nex t year will be the 10th run, and effo rts will b e made to draw as many o f the pa st pa rticipants as poss ible to this anniversary occasion. The tentati ve date is Sunday , October 13 , proba bly at the sam e location in West Irondequoit.

The Third Irondequoit 60k was taken by Neale Burkhardt 1n 6 43 01.

Oshier beats Olyznpic tizne; DeCian tis close

Two of GRTC's top women runners turned in the best marathon limes of their lives during October with masters slar Nancy Oshier qualifying for the O lympic Trials and Beth DeCiantis missing by less than half a minu te .

Both c redited consistency of training. with alten­tion to areas they'd under-emphasized in the past, rather than any major change or increase in volume as the reason lor improved results. That and the positive altitude that they could do it.

Nancy, at 42 one of the lop women masters runners in the country and one 01 the leading money winners, qualified. for the trials with a 2:41 in the Twin Cities Marathon between Minneapolis dnd 5t. Paul Oct. 14 . She was 10th woman overall and second master. about two minutes behind Laurie Binder.

"{ was really just hoping to go under 2:45, and I was pretty sure I could do it," Nancy said. " I just started out to run 6-minute miles as long as I could. I did it for 16 miles or so, then dropped off a little."

She maintained about the same mileage as usual - 50 to 70 a week - but added longer runs of 20 to 23 miles to prepare lor the marathon. Regular speed work has always been part of her training . "I think part of it is that I've been real healthy for the past year and a half dnd have been able to build on the work I've done. "

Nancy set a single-year-age record for 30K last year and won the Mercedes Mile masters race in New York for the second year in a row, proof of her versatility, but she'd only run the marathon once before, a 3: 13 in the Lake Ontario Marathon five years ago.

Beth is best known as a marathoner - she won Rochester two years in a row - but her previous best was 2:58 before she cracked a 2:45:28 in Detroit Oct. 21 . "I was definitely trying for 2:45 (the O lympic qualifier cutoff), and I'm sure 1 can do it," she said . She's got a year and a half to try again, and may do it as soon as January, perhaps in Charlotte, N.C. AI 28 she doesn't feel she's close to her peak.

She ran 70-75 miles a week - sometimes 80 -as marathon preparation. running twice d d ay on many weekdays. "I did a lot more speed work then I ever did before because people told me improving my 10K (her best is 36:06) is the best way to run faster marathons," she said. Speed work met repeat miles (about 5:45 pace), 200s, 400s, and sometimes "Iodders" of 200, 400, 800 and down again .

She was second woman, behind Barbara Rem­mers of Brookline, Mass. , who ran 2:44:56, "but r never really saw her," she said. "People told me r

closed the gap in the last pari of the race . Maybe if I got contact lenses I could see further ahead in the race.

While Na.ncy is a.mong the leading money-win­ners in women 's running, the $1 ,000 for second is new 10 Beth, and she likes the idea.

Derek Frechette, with 2:37:29, a nd Dave Edney, with 3:29:55, also ran in Twin Cities.

N ieznczak just znisses in Chicago Marathon

Antoni NiemcZdk, who broke a siring of second­place fin ishes with a win this year, ran the fastest marathon of his life Chicago Oct. 28 but lost in d

lean at the tape to Mexican Martin Pitayo. The pair matched. stride-far-stride after they took

the lead at the 24-mile mark from Mexico's Dionicio Ceron, who was running his first marathon .

In the final 100 yards , Niemczak took a hall·step lead, bul Pilayo caught him , moved ahead and lunged forward at the finish line 10 win in 2 hours , 9 minutes, 41 seconds.

PHayo's lime bettered his previous personal best of 2: 10:27 in the 1984 Chicago Marathon.

NiemcZdk, who had the Sdme lime as the winner, also beat his previous personal best of 2:10:34.

Portugal's Aurora Cunha led all the way in winning the women's division in 2:30: II.

Wineglau Weekend Mike Fogel of Canandaigua was the

top area finisher in the Wineglass Marathon Oct. 14 between Hammondsport and Painted Post, running 2:56:03 , 20th overall. Dale Keenan of Selkirk (south of Albany) was the easy winner in 2:25 : 56.7

Vicki Ash of Boulder, Colo., was fir s t woman in 2:56:55.
