President

I

t is time for another Footnotes article and Spring. I vote for those warmer events. After a long dreary winter, they are most welcome. I am pleased to announce the selection of two new KTC Board members. Patrice Wolfensberger, a top world ranked Triathlete and holder of many state running records, as well as co-race director of the Dogwood Classic, has accepted an invitation to join the Board. The second new Board member is Tony Cosey, a 1996 Olympian in the 3000 meter steeplechase, a member of the National USATF Board, and a former runner in the KTC Youth Athletics Program. They will provide a great insight to the top level of our sport and future of the KTC and are a good balance for the Ultra Slow President. HA! My hat goes off to the city of Birmingham Alabama in the excellent job they did with the entire race weekend surrounding the Men’s Olympic Marathon Trials. Several KTCers made the trip to watch one of our own club members, Bill Kabasenche, finish well ahead of many runners who had qualified with faster

times. Congratulations to Bill on a great run! The weekend started on Friday with a 50 foot run contested by children with disabilities under the age of 3. On Saturday there were three running events. First was a 3 mile free fun run, the final leg of the Mercedes Kids Marathon where over 2,300 children participated (fun to watch), and the Men’s Olympic Trials (it was great to watch as they came by our location 4 times and not breathing hard!). On Sunday was the Mercedes Marathon and Half Marathon event. All events were well managed and supported. Believe it or not, it does get cold in Alabama. As part of our education and training initiative, several KTC members enjoyed a very good presentation at the Copper Cellar Restaurant by Patrice Wolfensberger. Patrice provided tips on how to improve running and Dr. Farris Jordan offered motivational tips. We had a good turnout despite the weather and conflict with the Lady Vols basketball game. Indications were that more of these type activities are wanted. An update on the Executive Directors search process: A job description has been

posted on the KTC web site. Announcements have been sent to the Knoxville News Sentinel, Running Journal, University of Tennessee, Greater Knoxville Sports Corp, various regional running clubs, the AARC and others. We have developed a method to screen and evaluate resumes, as well as to conduct and evaluate interviews. Further, we have developed an overall process and timeline, and a selection of panel members to conduct interviews is underway. As part of our next KTC Board meeting, we have included in the agenda topics to address the obesity issue and how the KTC can help. This is a major area of concern in our society and ties in well with our existing and upcoming programs. Did you know that about 300,000 Americans die each year from obesity and its complications? That’s about 6,030 per year in the State of Tennessee alone. Remember that all Knoxville Track Club members are welcome to attend this most informative meeting. The location for the KTC Board meetings will be changing in the near future based on the relocation of the Greater Sports Corporation. When a location has been established, the address will be published.

The Bottom Line

A

ccording to Bob Neff, one of KTC’s longtime Board Members, the bottom line at KTC is its volunteer work force. Bob should know. He and Hal Canfield, both charter members, have volunteered thousands of hours since they helped formed the Knoxville Track Club back in the 1960’s. To my knowledge, neither has ever been paid any stipend for their contribution to the club. And Bob would have it no other way. When I became KTC’s Executive Director back in 1986, I changed that. I proposed a paying position. Today I still get paid, perhaps setting the precedent for others as well. In case you are curious, in our volunteer organization, here’s who gets paid. My base salary is $35,000 plus a retirement fund, health reimbursements, and a travel allowance. I am the only full time employee. In fact I am actually KTC’s only “employee.” Everyone else who gets paid is an independent contractor offering specific services. Marty Sonnenfeldt, who manages our ever expanding youth program receives $16,600 per year. Michael deLisle maintains our web page and edits Footnotes for $700 a month. Angie Manis or Angelique Blankenship, is reinbursed 50¢ per registrant for registration/results services. Richard French receives $125 per event for event sound system management. Jerry Tipton our club’s accountant, is paid $150 per month. Typically summer youth program site directors and certain track and field officials also get a stipend. That’s it, to my knowledge. Club officers, board members, committee chairs, race directors, officials coordinator, finish line/registration coordinators, volunteer coordinator, social chair, etc., do not get paid. Other demanding positions also re-

by by

main volunteer. Membership is a good example. Ken St. Germaine, our current chair has spent countless hours in dealing with this huge job. Same goes for Greer and Bruce Fox, who sell KTC apparel, and our social chair, Anne Wahlert. It’s interesting to note that all positions, save the job I created, were originally volunteer positions and all folks now getting paid were once volunteers. The evolving philosophy has been that we have been willing to pay for certain key functions that seem to go beyond the “normal” range of volunteering. The fact that we pay certain individuals for highly specialized and demanding work is reflected in our 2004 budget which was recently passed at our February Board Meeting. Since we’re talking about the bottom line, I thought I would share with you a few general comments about the budget as well. We have projected revenues over $350,000 and expenses even more than that. Where does our money come from? Based on the past year, we project that over $32,000 will come from membership dues, $43,000 in event sponsorship, $25,000 in race assistance to some 30+ organizations, $103,000 in race entry fees, $12,000 in Footnotes and web page advertising, $2,000 in KTC apparel, $8,000 in interest income, and over $128,000 (fees, sponsors, Adopt a Kid, Physicians for Kids Fitness) in youth athletics. Where does it go? $5,000 in membership goes for mailing, cards, calendar, brochure, $86,000+ for race expenses, $6,000+ for non-KTC race expenses, $28,000 for Footnotes and website expenses, $4,200+ for dues and liability insurance, $10,000 for new equipment, $4,000 in office expenses, $3,000+ for social and travel expenses, $1,500 for grand prix and volunteer awards,

$5,000 for donations, $6,000 for a possible audit, $50,000 for two executive directors with two months of overlap, and finally $150,000 for youth athletics. We have projected a deficit of over $15,000 but with over $100,000 in our treasury we feel we can, if necessary, accomodate that red ink. Like any business our projections are also just that. We can’t really know for sure whether race participation or membership or sponsorship will continue at the rate it has. We do know that, unlike the first six months of 2003, we now are riding the crest of a surge in KTC race particpation with record turnouts at BSF, Autumnfest, New Year’s Day, Strawberry Plains and Whitestone. But back to membership. It’s, of course, where you come in. That $32,000 brought in through membership comes from your $20 or $30 (family) dues and $103,000 from your entry fees at KTC races. What kind of investment is your $20? Nevermind Footnotes and your 2004 wall calendar, the camraderie, the neat KTC apparel, the sense of belonging and supporting one of the finest running, clubs in the country.... Let’s just talk about $$$$. For simplicity, let me offer this hypothesis. Say you’re a recreational runner who runs a modest half dozen races a year. As a KTC member, you take your $3 discount. (6x$3=$18). Because you like other KTC folks and because you feel some sense of responsibility, you also volunteer at three races a year and collect three $5 volunteer coupons. (3x$5=$15). Because your dresser drawers are already overflowing with shirts, m,x

in three of the six races, you choose the noshirt option and save $5 at each. (3x$5=$15) Since you’re a “recreational” runner, you also buy a couple of pairs of shoes during the year. You buy one at Runners Market and one at New Balance and take the 10% discount and pocket $10 per pair. (2x$10=$20) You also are into nutrition to a modest degree and buy a good multivitamin and glucosamine for your joints and an occasional health bar. All told, your annual bill comes to about $200 but you buy everything at Health Shoppe because you like Eddie Reymond and, besides he gives you a 10% discount. (another $20 saved).

deLisle,

A

nother page fallen off my calendar, another issue of Footnotes, another day spent sweating the deadline. Will that article magically show up in my email inbox today or not? Well, by now it either happened or it didn’t, because you’re reading these words either online or on paper; the 69th issue of Footnotes I’ve produced. Whew! That’s a lot of deadlines.....

At one of the races, you also hang around to the end of the awards ceremony and, lo and behold, you walk off with a gift certificate to our Autumfest sponsor, Riverside Tavern, worth ($25). And finally, for the first time ever, you sign up to run one of KTC’s sponsored travel races. By proudly wearing your KTC singlet, you get the club to pay the entry fee of ($15).

By the way, I want to thank ace columnist and cartoonist Randall Pierce for creating - on very short notice -- a custom cartoon which accompanies Bob Godwin’s article on page 17. Randall has been creating toons for his own articles for a couple years now, but this is the first time he’s done an on-demand for us, and it’s pretty darn good. Thanks!

So you shell out $20 to be a member but do OK by noting a modest return on your investment: $18 + $15 + $15 + $20 + $20 + $25 + $15 = $128).

Lots going on in the KTC these days. Probably more than I can ever remember. In fact, I’m sure of it. There are spectactular goings on every where you look:

In fact it seems like such a good deal, that you resolve the next time you renew your membership, you’ll renew for three years and save a few pennies more. After all, it’s an election year and all the politicians, including your Executive Director are talking about saving you money.

The gigantic 600-pound gorilla that is the KTC Youth Athletics Program lumbers on and on, getting bigger and better all the time.

But back to Bob Neff. Once you get beyond the $, what do you have left that makes the KTC such a wonderful place to hang out and give of your yourself? Maybe it’s your sense of modest investing, but, in addition, it’s probably the fun you have helping out some of the coolest folks on the planet in a sport you care about. “Volunteer Spirit at its Finest,” a sound investment, the bottom line of course.

Resulting from 2003’s Strategic Planning Initiative, many new committees have been formed and much work has been started on projects of which we only dreamed a few years ago. That mysterious pendulum that is race participation has swung strongly back towards record turnouts at most KTC events (knock on wood). The electronic age has enveloped the club, as evidenced by this magazine being distributed to club members over the internet, the massive amounts of information disseminated via the KTC website, and online registration either in place or soon to be active for many, if not most KTC events, including youth athletics activities. That highly coveted and very elusive gem

of a Knoxville Marathon is rumored to be edging closer to actuality, in answer to the long held dreams of many local runners. Stay tuned for more info on this one. Anne Wahlert has put together such a wide and wild social schedule that no one other than Anne can possibly attend all the events. Everyone, however, should pick a few and get on out there. C’mon down to Runners Market on Wednesdays at 5:30 for the group run. That’ll pique your interest and maybe get you coming out a lot more often. There’s not one, not two, but seven new trail races on area calendars this year, and four open cross country races. The Mayors’ Cup series promises to be a refreshing and challenging alternative for runners who are tired of the same old 5K’s and age groups. We’re probably going to be putting mileage markers out on the greenways and cleaning up the trail at Big South Fork. We’re sending dozens, if not hundreds, of marathoners to Nashville next month. With the help of mayor Bill Haslam -- Asics Kayano size 9 -- the city has changed its mind of paving the median strip at Cherokee Boulevard. There’s so much going on that, not only do I not have enough room here, but I can’t even remember it all. All I know is that it’s never been this exciting to be a runners in Knoxville. Big things are happening and we’re all a part of it. Me, I can’t wait. I’ve gotta’ strap on my go-fast shoes and get out in this delightful spring weather. See ya out there! P.S. For those awaiting another Trail Running column, my apologies. Not only have I been way too busy to write about trail running this time, unfortunately I’ve also been too busy to do much trail running lately. There were a couple good runs at Guard Shack, and a dandy at Haw Ridge, but, heck, you guys already know how great those trails are. So my promise is this: next issue, a new story about a new trail. And that’s one promise I will have a ton of fun keeping!

I have absolute confidence in you. Me: Exactly. No worries. Tony: Well – OK – just don’t get lost.

ASSISTANT TOUR DIRECTOR by

T

Randall

here I was, on my bicycle, leading both the race and a guy named Lance. How ever, it was not le Tour de France; but rather the Fall Creek Thaw 15k. And, the Lance in question was not that bike guy, but Lance Winders – one of the better runners in the state.

This is the same Lance Winders who, at age 39, can run a sub-2:30 marathon, finish 43rd at the Boston Marathon, and occasionally knock out a low 15-minute 5k. Did I mention that he is 39? Are you kidding me? But, I digress. Why was I leading the race? It was merely one part of my duties as the Assistant Tour Coordinator of the Tennessee State Parks Running Tour. A heady title, to be sure, but a position that really only involves helping the Tour Director in any way possible. The Tour Director, incidentally, happens to be my best friend and longtime partner-in-crime Tony. * Shameless Plug Follows * The Tennessee State Parks Running Tour is a series of 15 races run in parks across the state, beginning in late October and going through early March. Each race has its own awards, but points scored in each accumulate for the grand prix standings. Run five races to qualify, and count a maximum of your eight best races for the overall awards. Great scenery, challenging courses; what more can a runner ask for in the winter? Go to http://www.state.tn.us/environment/parks/RunningTour/ for more in-

Pierce

formation. * Shameless Plug Ends * * Public Service Announcement Follows * As we all know, volunteering at a race is a great way to give back to the sport; and this ideal is represented by the KTC’s “Run Three and Work One” philosophy. Volunteering gives you a feeling of accomplishment; and the perspective of seeing how difficult, detail oriented, and time-consuming it can be to put on a road race. Its a tough, often thankless job and race directors deserve our support and our help. There are all sorts of important jobs that anyone and everyone can do. * Public Service Announcement Ends * Those aren’t the jobs I do. So what does a sidekick, flunky, righthand-man, jack-of-all-trades, second-banana do at a race? Let me tell you about my day. OK, back to leading the race. I was voted the person most likely to stay in front of a guy running 5:15 miles on hilly terrain. The fact that I needed a $2,000 road-racing bike to do so is entirely irrelevant (and even then it wasn’t easy), but I digress. Tony had perfect confidence in me. Tony: Just don’t get lost. Me:Whatareyou talking about? I marked the course this morning, I’ve run it many times, I’ve led the race before. Tony: I’m sorry. I know you can handle it.

The early part of the race went really well – I didn’t get lost – but at about the 6 mile mark the course turned onto a bike trail. While most of the roads are closed to traffic during the race, this trail is still open for use by cyclists and walkers. I led Lance down the path and as we passed a group of hikers a large dog jumped his leash. I could hear Lance yelling up to me, “DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG!” I slowed, let Lance by, and then blocked the path with my bike (Lance had over a minute lead by that point). The dog came bounding down the path with his owners in hot pursuit (at that speed they should have been in the race). The dog – some sort of pit-bull/wolf mix – lept at me, bowled me over, and promptly drowned me in a waterfall of thick doggie-lick spit. Then he swallowed my arm up to the elbow. Fortunately, he was friendly; otherwise I would now be known as ‘Lefty.’ Still, I’m a trooper, so after extracting my forearm from his stomach I warned the walkers of 200 more runners to come, lubed the bike chain with his snot (thick stuff) and took off after Lance. At 7.5 miles, I kept the oldest woman in the world (estimated age: 113) from running Lance over. She was driving a battleship of a car – circa 1977 – and looked like she needed one more phone book on the seat in order to see over the dash. Lance had made the loop through a parking lot and was about to cross the road when she blew by a worker trying to stop traffic. 15 mph may not be fast enough to be considered “blowing,” but it is fast enough to crumple a runner’s fender. I stuck the bike out into the roadway and started waving and shouting at her. She stopped, barely, and I could see her say to an even older passenger, “That’s a big deer.” Other miscellaneous duties ensued back at the finish: I handed out water, did the men’s results, and helped with the awards ceremony. Normal race-day duties. I’m hell with the trophy-handing-out. However, if you’ve ever wondered what runners truly obsess over... it is points in a grand prix series. Therefore there is, in m,x

reality, only one person who ultimately keeps the Tour going – the official scorekeeper. This job is probably more thankless than that of race director, but YOU try keeping track of 2,500 runners through 15 races and see how you do. Oh yeah, you also have to do it accurately. I am thankful that this is NOT my job. The runners are also thankful that this is not my job. No, our scorekeeper is Amy; a steady voice in a hurricane of activity, an excellent runner in her own right, and the official wife of Tony, the Tour Director. She keeps track of everyone’s place all year, and at the Fall Creek Thaw (the last race) has to finalize the standings after the race award ceremony and before that evening’s banquet. About 3 hours. Usually, my only connection with this process is to check the math, look for mistakes, and not add to the stress. This year, though, as I entered the war-room Tony told me, “You need to learn how to do calligraphy. I brought some pens.” Turns out that the lady who handles the

Tour’s design, art, and certificate-filling-out was not able to attend. Fortunately (for me), she had made a certificate for anyone who had even a remote possibility of placing; and all that remained was to fill in the actual places on the certificate. I practiced the numbers a couple of times, worked especially hard on my st’s, nd’s, rd’s, and th’s; and knocked ‘em all out. If they don’t look closely, they’ll never know.

Plus, as an added bonus, I now calligraphy all my own cards and notes. But, again, I digress. The Tour Banquet is the highlight of the year. Food, speakers, camaraderie, awards, and, for the people working the Tour, more work. I help hand out the overall awards, and then the special awards for everyone who places in their division (over 100 people!). Like I said, I’m hell with the award-giving-out. And afterwards? The big sigh of relief that all volunteers give after a job well-done, a race well-put-on. So, that’s it; my day as Assistant Tour Coordinator. No big deal, right? On second thought, I think I’ll start listing that on my resume´.

How to Improve 10K Performance

A

s the days get longer and the mercury rises, spring is definitely in the air. For the Knoxville runner that can mean many things, but one thing is for sure – our premier 10K road race, Tennessee Sports Medicine EXPO, is just around the corner. You’d like to do as well as possible, but trimming your 10K time requires a smart, systematic approach to training…there is so much more to it than just mixing in a few intervals with long runs on the weekend. So what do you do? Is there a simple scientifically sound way to optimally prepare for 10K competition? Scanning the literature one comes across little evidence about the effect of training programs on actual race performance. Instead the field of exercise science focuses on VO2max, running economy, lactate threshold, or some other variables obtained in the laboratory under controlled conditions. This is really quite reasonable, as there are so many different factors that may play a role in your overall time in a 10K road race. However, that still doesn’t satisfy the quest for an optimal training program. So I’ve decided to share a few thoughts from highly respected resources and investigate the results as well as the implications. Tempo

vs.

Intervals

Snell et al (University of Texas Southwestern Human Performance Center)

This study consisted of ten runners training for a period of 16 weeks. The runners were tested in the 800m and 10K distances before and after the 16 week period. All of the runners logged 50 miles of steady running per week the first six weeks. During the final 10 weeks the runners were divided into two groups. Group A carried out two Jack Daniels style “tempo” workouts per week, which in-

the 10K performance gains while carrying out half as much “quality” training. This appears to be a much more efficient and productive way to improve your training and performance. Great news for those of us on a tight schedule.

volved running for 29 continuous minutes at roughly lactate-threshold pace (usually 1215 seconds per mile slower than 10K race pace). Group B completed two interval workouts per week. The distance of these intervals was either 200m or 400m and they were conducted at three different intensities: 10K race pace, 5K race pace, or faster. A total of about 3 miles of interval training (24 x 200m or 12 x 400m) were performed at each workout. Aside from these differences the training schedule of the two groups were identical and consisted of medium to long, moderately paced runs. At the end of the study, the runners were tested again during 800m and 10K competitions. To no-one’s surprise the interval-trained runners outperformed their counterparts in the 800m race improving an average of 11.2 seconds compared to a 6.6 second improvement by Group A. But the real surprise came in the 10K – Group A improved their time by an average of 1:06 while Group B shredded 2:06 from their previous times. A full 10 second per mile advantage to the interval group! The take home message: To set a new personal best in the 10K you must run more quickly…duh!! And, to race faster you must train faster. The interval trainees did train faster than the threshold people and thereby developed better economy, coordination, and comfort while running fast. Group A spent 58 minutes per week with threshold running while Group B spent just 31 minutes per week carrying out their actual interval running. Thus, the interval individuals achieved double

Veronique Billat et al analyzed the training diaries and physiological profiles of 13 male and six female Kenyan 10K runners. The major significance of this study was that these particular subjects were elite athletes competing on the international circuit. This study focused on training time spent at three discrete physiological paces:

♦ vLT (velocity at lactate threshold). Also

known as “tempo running” with a normal run duration between 30-70 minutes.

♦ vVO2max (velocity at maximal oxygen

uptake). A very intense pace that can only be maintained for about six minutes. Also known as “interval workouts” such as 20 x 400m or 6 x 800m. Previous research by Billat has shown that vVO2max is associated with superior 10K performance.

♦ vÄ50 (the intermediate pace between vLT

& vVO2max, which has been shown to be very close to 10K race pace). Long interval sessions – 4 x 2,000m – with short recoveries. By means of reviewing the training habits of these Kenyan runners, it became evident that vVO2max and vÄ50 were the two biggest predictors of 10K performance. The most successful runners (i.e., best 10K times) divided their weekly mileage as follows: 6.9% vLT, 4.3% vÄ50, 5% vVO2max, while the rest of their running was performed at a relatively easy pace on typical 90 minute runs (less than vLT). An interesting side bar is that the best of the best actually logged 10% less total mileage per week. Once again, more good news for those looking for efficient training methods. This research confirms previous findings of the importance of training at vVO2max pace and also shows that interval workouts appear to be better able to improve 10K performance than tempo running. By training at these higher intensities you learn to produce the force required to boost economy m,x

level athletes with years of running behind them. It is critical that before attempting to adjust your routine to fit these guidelines you must have an adequate base to build upon. But, if you have a solid foundation, tweaking your program a bit towards the Kenyan philosophy of interval training may just result in a personal best this May 29 at EXPO…good luck!

at race pace, and speed. The lesson here is that to run at your target race pace (and faster) you have to train at these paces rather than simply training your aerobic system. running physiologist Professor Tim Noakes “Aerobic training alone cannot prepare distance runners for this feat (10K race); instead, training needs to focus on developing the neuromuscular system to produce the running speed required.”

It does seem to make physiological sense to train at all three of these paces. vLT training will optimize your aerobic system, vÄ50 will help you to be economical at 10K pace, and training at vVO2max and faster will help you to generate the force required to speed up at the end of races and develop a greater VO2max capacity.

he development of five miles of additional greenways finally appears to be getting off the ground in Knoxville, with contracts being issued or close to issuance for most of them. Indeed, 2004 will be the best year ever in terms of greenway construction; we have never completed five miles in one year. The Haslam administration is obviously proving to be a strong supporter of greenways in Knoxville. The greenways that are pretty much done deals (construction contracts having been signed) include the following, with construction generally to occur in the spring/summer of this year:

When a couple of private greenways are included (All Saints Catholic Church and US Cellular Greenway), Knoxville currently has 31.3 miles of greenways and walking loops, and the above additions will expand this system by at least 5 miles to around 37 miles. A listing of all our local and metropolitan area greenways will appear in the next issue of this newsletter. Regarding the City’s proposed paving of a portion of the Cherokee Boulevard Greenway discussed in the last newsletter, we’ve got good news to report. The proposed paving was from the fountain to Kingston Pike. Representatives of KTC (Allan Morgan, Doug Anderson, Carl Sexton, Will Skelton) and Sam Roberts (West HS Track coach) met with Sam Parnell and David Harrell of the City Engineering Department on January 15. We generally supported leaving the trail as a soft surface trail and got a good reception. We walked some of the most eroded sections of the trail. Several KTC runners and West HS students, coincidentally, ran by and gave their input for keeping it a soft surface, which helped. The consensus seemed to be to put larger gravel on the bad spots since that seems to have been working in portions of the greenway where it’s been tried.

The pending greenways with a few issues still to be resolved are:

Subsequently we were advised that the City has decided not to pave the Boulevard and instead plans to go with the larger gravel and see how that works. That work may be completed by the time you read this.

Mayor Haslam, who is a runner and runs on Cherokee Boulevard, was very interested in this issue and was involved in the decision not to pave the Bouvelard.

he indoor track season is well under way. There have been four meets already this year at UT’s Stokely Athletic Center: the Tennessee All-Comers Meet (college, Jan. 9); Volunteer Indoor Track Classic (high school, Feb. 14); Tennessee Indoor Classic (college, Feb. 20); and AAU South Indoor Track and Field National Championships (youth, Feb. 27-29). The KTC Officials Association provided its usual superlative officiating at all these meets. The 2004 Niswonger Foundation Track and Field Invitational was held at East Tennessee State University on January 23-24. Several KTC officials including Robert Armstrong, Richard Batt, Greg Duthey, Donnie Graham, Marc Hicks, Bob Lotharp, Stanley Underwood, and yours truly helped put on a quality, fair competition. At the Niswonger, Alan Webb ran a sterling 8:01:29 in the men’s 3,000 meter invitational, and Bobby Holcombe, former Marine, and star Knoxville runner, ran a fine 8:56:51 in the men’s 3,000 meters. I’m proud to announce that UT’s track and field website, tenntrack.com, received the 2003-2004 Golden Web Award from the International Association of Web Masters and Designers. Websites are evaluated for their design, originality, and content. Congratulations to Coach Charles Oliver and his staff at UT, and to webmaster Michael Brown. Three KTC officials – Bill Buttermore, Thomas Shinnick, and Stanley Underwood were selected to officiate at the USATF Indoor Championships in Boston on February 27-29. Ten other KTC officials were selected for the 2004 Olympic Trials in track and field in Sacramento from July 9-18: Brint Adams, Bill Buttermore, David Kroese, Jim McKee, Ken Morton, Dick Moss, Murray Sanford, Thomas Shinnick, Stanley Underwood, and John West. Plaudits are due Kenny Fleming, who was

Brown, and Tommy Cureton. They are all very helpful in putting on meets. It is a very good thing that UT provides this practical training for so many students.

recently certified as a Master USATF Official in the pole vault. Master officials are the crème de la crème of track and field officials since they have the ability to manage/officiate all the details of a particular event, in Kenny’s case the pole vault. And, believe me, conversance with all the details of one event is no small trick, especially an event as complicated as the pole vault. Plaudits also to Donnie Graham, long-time starter at high school and college meets. Donnie’s exceptional diligence and competence have deservedly been recognized by his receipt of the 2003 Robert L. Neff Service Award. This award was established in 1997 to recognize KTC officials who have demonstrated the kind of loyalty and dedication to track and field exemplified for over five decades by Bob Neff. It is quite an honor to be compared in any way to Bob Neff, so Donnie’s service has indeed been superlative. The UT Event Management Office has an active program for practicum students, student interns, and student workers. Practicum students get hands on experience in the sports management major, typically for a semester. Student interns have full-time jobs in sports management, usually for a year, and may be UT students or in some cases students from the Troy State University in Alabama as part of a UT-TSU joint prograrm. Student workers, typically sports management undergraduates, normally use their track and field experience as part of required course projects. There are usually six to eight students in these programs each semester. Some 50 individuals have participated over the last five years, and the programs seem to not only teach the students about sports management, but to stimulate their entrepreneurial juices as well. Several students have actually established their own businesses. This semester there are three practicum students: Blake Sabo, also a UT decathlete, Michael

Herrell Akers and Barbara Winters are the featured officials this month. Herrell and Barbara have been officiating about 15 years, and, though they have officiated one time or another at almost all the track and field events, they specialize in the high jump and pole vault. Herrell, a former football player at Maryville College, and Barbara have both been runners for over 20 years. Herrell and Barbara have lived in the Knoxville area over half a century, and both officiate because they enjoy the useful volunteer work as well as the camaraderie provided by associating with other officials and athletes. Here is some practical information. If you are interested in masters track and field competition, i.e., competition by those of us over 40, please have a look at masterstrack.com. There are lots, repeat lots, of competitions available for masters track and field athletes including many meets in the Southeast. One example among many is the Carolina Masters Invitational to be held on Saturday, April 3, 2004 at the John C. Smith University, Charlotte, North Carolina. For that specific meet, check carolinastrackandfield.org. Also, please note that the Event Management Office at UT has moved from the Stokely Athletic Center to 120 Thompson-Boling Arena. Coach Charles Oliver’s office is in Room 205. Telephone numbers remain the same. Coach Oliver: (865) 974-1226. Officials: (865) 974-3556. Special note for officials: there will be a rules clinic in Room 120, Thompson-Boling Arena at 3:00 PM, Sunday, March 29. The clinic will cover the rules of the National Federation of High Schools so that officials are properly prepared for the Knoxville Interscholastic League Track and Field Championships to be held at UT’s Tom Black Track from Tuesday, April 20 to Thursday, April 22.

THE GOOD SAMARITAN by

I

Bob

Godwin

n the early 1950s we had a Boy Scout meeting one afternoon at a friend’s house a block from the Smithwood intersection in Fountain City. When I was a boy, you could safely ride your bicycle anywhere. All of my boyhood friends had bikes and rode them constantly. I carried the morning paper on a bicycle, as well as used it for transportation and fun. My bike was my beloved “English 3 speed” which I had bought with paper route and odd job earnings.

were my teeth. The pharmacist and a customer saw the wreck and rushed out to help. Mama was at home without a car, as Daddy had our only car at work. Our family physician at that time was Dr. Payne, whose office was on Essary Road just around the corner from the accident. My friend identified me, the Good Samaritan put me and my bent bike in his car, took me to Dr. Payne’s, went to our house, got Mama and brought her back to the doctor’s office.

A friend and I heard that the 5&10 in the stone building at the corner of Hotel and Broadway next to Fountain City Park, had a new shipment of peashooters. As soon as the meeting was over, we raced our bikes the 1½ miles to the store to get ours before they ran out. Of course, we were supposed to go straight home after our meeting, but figured we could make it back in plenty of time.

I had landed on the right side of my face, tore off a lot of skin, chewed up the inside of my mouth and poked my teeth through my cheek in a couple of spots. Dr. Payne cleaned me up, sewed me up, and sent me home with Mama— courtesy of our Good Samaritan. In the excitement, we failed to get his name.

I bought a peashooter and a pack of dried white peas and loaded my mouth with the peas. We then took off at top speed to get home. Unfortunately, I rode into a drainage grate which lacked cross pieces. My front wheel dropped in, and I went face first into the rough pavement. Everything from here on is what I have been told, as I was knocked out and had some memory loss. It happened right in front of a drug store which no longer exists, although the grate is still there. As I lay motionless on the pavement, the peas rolled out of my mouth, causing my buddy further panic as he thought they

My folks were supposed to keep me awake and watch me because of the blow to the head. Later that night, after I repeatedly asked what happened and generally acted dopey, they took me to St. Mary’s Hospital where I was admitted for a couple of days. At some point the next day, I woke up and went to the bathroom. As I caught sight of my face in the mirror, I was horrified. My entire right cheek was a swollen, raw, purply mess with the black threads of stitches protruding here and there. I was released after a day or two and eventually recovered just fine, except for periodic tremendous headaches from the concussion which gradually disappeared over several years. Daddy, who could fix practically anything,

bent the front fork of my bike back into proper shape and it rode well thereafter. 25 years later, I gave it to the YMCA for a yard sale after putting on new tubes and tires. Our family often recalled the Good Samaritan and wished we could thank him. How many people would put a bloody kid in his car and spend the rest of the day making sure that he was cared for and was reunited with his family? P.S. Many years later, an older man came to my office for some legal advice about a home-based business he had. As we concluded the conference, he casually mentioned that 35 years before, he had helped a boy named Godwin who had a bike wreck. At last! We had found our Good Samaritan, and I was able to express the years of pent up gratitude for his kindness and generosity.

hen one runs on a daily basis, it can be difficult to find unique places to exercise that are not far from home. Sometimes I believe time spent traveling to a different place could be spent more efficiently running than traveling. After considering the distance, weather, traffic and amount of daylight left, the same old course always seems to be the last and only option. Some days I dread running due to the routine of it all and not having enough time to go anywhere else for the miles I desire. One afternoon in late December 2003 was one of those days. I was running the Adair Park Greenway trail on a beautiful warm 65 degree run in the bright sunshine, strange for that time of year. It was the same course, but at least it was a fine bright day. I enjoy traveling the greenways because there are always people walking dogs, children playing on swingsets, or families having picnics. It may seem like the same old route, but at least the people and the dogs are different. As I was turning the bend of the park, I noticed a walker, who caught my attention more than others on the trail. One notices all different types of people when running, but after a while they all start blurring together,

especially after the first five miles have clicked away. This walker was different, but I couldn’t quite tell why. When I first noticed him, he appeared to be walking around the mile loop like everyone else. He was a little younger than most, in his early thirties, I suppose. He was trim, but not overly muscular. The walking looked routine for him, as if he had done it many times previously. He was dressed in a long sleeve plaid shirt and looked like someone you’d expect to see hiking the Appalachian Trail. Looking around him, I noticed a small girl and boy, both probably under the age of eight, laughing, playing and racing around him as he tried to keep pace on the course. You could tell this man was there for a purpose. Everyone else on the trail was enjoying the warm day, and, like myself, trying to remove a few extra pounds gained over the holidays, but he was not. The children ran ahead and around him, enjoying keeping up with their father and making a game out of it. I could tell the father was enjoying his children’s company, and the children his. When the man passed the swing sets, he quietly told his wife there were only a few more laps, and he’d soon be finished. Both he and his wife seemed to be preoccupied with

I noticed he was carrying a pack. The heavy pack was bulging, but not with baby paraphernalia. Rather, it was a military pack, and the man was walking in what appeared to be large heavy military boots. Could he be a US military reservist, soon being deployed overseas, or was he on leave, enjoying the short time he had with his family? In either case, I had a sense of their preoccupation, and their grief touched me deeply. As I contemplated this scene, I thought of what the Bible said were the two greatest commandments. The first one was “Love the Lord your God with all heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.” 1 Thinking about the couple, I could see they were applying the ‘Love your neighbor as yourself’. If the man had been headed for combat in Iraq, he would be protecting his neighbors here and overseas, along with his comrades in service. These sacrifices can be easily overlooked; the sacrifices of not only the man, but also his wife, sons, daughters and parents. Even if he comes home safely and physically unharmed (but not unchanged), they have still given a part of their lives and even a part of their family that can never be replaced. I will be praying for that man and his family because I do appreciate what it has cost them to “love their neighbor.” 1 Matthew 22: 37-39, NIV Study Bible.

MINIMAL INCISION SURGERY

T

wo recent trends in orthopedic surgery are minimal incision surgery (MIS) and cosmetic foot surgery, which I will now briefly yet beautifully describe. Minimal incision surgery means several things, some of which are better, and some worse. MIS can be performing a standard “old” operation a new way - that is, by limiting the length of the incision and the resultant soft tissue dissection. Arthroscopy is an example of successful minimal incision surgery. MIS can also be a smaller variation of a standard operation, thus employing a smaller incision, or it can be only a partial procedure which doesn’t address the problem, yet makes a visible difference to the patient, at least initially.

patients for this surgery, in my opinion, are few. The incision is smaller because the implant is smaller. Not so much minimal incision surgery, as minimal implant surgery. It sounds good to the unsuspecting patient though. Some years ago, it became popular to have minimal incision foot surgery (not to be confused with cosmetic foot surgery, which is discussed below). The doctor would insert a motorized burr or saw through a small incision, and ... do something. I don’t remember seeing good results from this. I think it’s done far less now.

Performing a tried and true operation a new way can be a good thing ... or not. Usually if an operation can be done through a smaller incision, it’s already being done. Some total hip and total knee replacements are being done through smaller skin incisions. These are highly technical procedures with large implants. Visibility has traditionally been critical to exacting technique. Results of these joint replacements in some studies have been as good as the standard ones. The error here, as I see it, is trying to improve something that’s not the problem. Hip and knee replacement patients are most commonly dissatisfied when their implant breaks or wears out, and it needs revision (repeat replacement). I don’t hear patients complaining about their incision.

Endoscopic carpal tunnel release arose more than a decade ago as an alternative to traditional open carpal tunnel release. Here a small scope is inserted through a small incision, and the carpal tunnel is released from the inside. (Some patients refer to this as “laser surgery”, but it’s not, and lasers have very limited applications currently in orthopedics.) Visibility is often poor, and instead of my standard 1.25 inch incision, you’d get a 0.5 inch one. Unfortunately, the risk of nerve damage is increased, and I think all trained hand surgeons in this area have abandoned this technique. When the specialists dump a procedure, be wary of it.

Standard knee joint replacement resurfaces/replaces both “knuckles” of the upper knee. A recent technique replaces only one knuckle (unicondylar arthroplasty) for arthritis limited to one area. The appropriate

Cosmetic foot surgery is becoming all the rage. The patients for this simply want to wear small stylish high-heeled shoes, no matter what they have to do. They WANT the incision, don’t usually have pain or functional defor-

mity, and are going for good “toe cleavage”. As you imagine, these patients are women, who ironically have insurance, although it does not pay for cosmetic foot surgery, so these well-heeled patients happily pony up the required cash, which may be the point anyway. Toe straightenings, toe shortenings, and collagen injections are some of the techniques being done, and chronic pain is not an uncommon result. Some of my unhappiest patients have had standard foot surgery resulting in pain and stiffness, despite being successful in removing the bunion or correcting the deformed toe. It’s like the toe wants to be crooked, and nobody’s gonna change its mind. As my career has progressed, I’ve found that successful foot correction requires more surgery, not less, and again, these patients don’t complain about the incision. As I often say to my foot patients, you’ll recover from open heart surgery faster than bunion surgery. That’s because you don’t have to walk on your heart or stuff it into a leather corset, and bones heal slower anyway. After you make the difficult decision to have surgery, you should want your surgeon to get in there, open it up to do what’s necessary, and not feel constrained by a short incision with less than perfect visibility. As you might have guessed, MIS can be only a marketing tool at times. Think about it: Do you want the standard operation the way it’s usually done, or do you want the new thing, done by fewer surgeons, with a shorter track record? Beware of newer techniques, including some minimal incision surgery, and get your money’s worth if you can’t run from my knife.

The minutes of the December meeting were approved as amended. Membership report, 1975 total. The treasurer’s report as of 12/31: Cash in AM South Bank $3,386.92 Vanguard Investment Fund $84,926.24 Allan Morgan presented the Executive Director’s report to no comments. Marty Sonnenfeldt reported that Youth Athletics now has 160 kids running indoor track. The high jump coach, Tim Bell, will be moving back to town and will be on-board basically year-round. The Mayor’s cup off-road series doing well and Mike Ragsdale is on-board for support (a webpage is now up for the event also). It was announced that Lea Ann has decided not to be a member of the Board, but will handle the position of Volunteer Coordinator and attend some Board meetings. Robert Neff gave a positive report and stated that word was getting around that we have an excellent Track Officials Association. Bob felt that one room for improvement of the group is that of ‘umpires’ or those that watch for infractions – it was requested that board members look for those that would be interested in participating as such. Marty offered to include a call to parents wishing to be trained officials in the Youth Athletics publication that will be mailed to approximately 1100 people. Edward Leaver was unable to attend but did send a Safety Director’s report. Martin Coleman provided information regarding the ChampionChip. The company times approximately 75 races/year, mostly in the Southeast. Martin mentioned timing Expo and Fireball and pointed out that an exhibition will take place at the Calhoun’s 10 miler. By using this system, results for shorter races would not be available that much quicker, but

Knoxville Track Club

for longer races it is helpful by being able to post times/results as folks come in. The system runs on battery power, so if the box should fail a new battery would be connected. One pad could be used for gun and chip time if the start and finish locations are at the same place. If start and finish are at different locations two pads would most likely be needed. Discussion ensued as to whether protest could take place due to timing issues if someone crosses with wrong foot first, and someone slightly behind is the winner. Should placement protests occur, a video camera would be required to decide on protest. Nashville Striders (per Doug Anderson) has used ChampionChip for a number of races and Dave Holder stated that they agonized over chips for two years and decided to buy the system and 1000 logo chips, a financial game plan was created to pay it off in 5 years and the payoff was actually achieved in 2 years. Mr. Holder volunteered to visit and talk to the KTC Board. It was estimated that the break-even point to rent vs. buy chips was about 1000 people. Allan Morgan reiterated that initial plans of using the ChampionChip system for EXPO and Fireball with a trial use at Calhouns was the decision of the December LDC Meeting. Decisions on moving forward on renting/ buying/using ChampionChip for future efforts will be made at the February Board meeting. Michael deLisle reported that the website now has a yearlong racing calendar that can be accessed by month in PDF format. Offroad racing section of the website was put online 1/20/2004 and will be built up much more over time. Pictures/maps/etc. on race pages were expected to be updated by early the week of 1/26/04. The database computer, per Keith, has crashed and it will be difficult to bring back (and may not return per Michael). The link has been disabled for the foreseeable future. A liability concern has been raised regarding insurance for officials beginning in April 2004. The issue is being looked into. A m,x

certification process does exist as a workaround and Stanley will volunteer for such if necessary. Patrice Carol Wolfensberger has been approached regarding Board membership. She will be invited to the February meeting for consideration and a copy of the bylaws is being sent immediately. Tony Cosey will also be invited to the February board meeting for consideration for Board membership and a copy of the bylaws is being sent. Carl Sexton announced that per bylaws all committees are dissolved and will be reformed. It was requested that Allan speak to Richard Dobson about the procurement of a wheelbarrow for the Adopt-A-Creek program. Cherokee Boulevard has been contracted for paving from the water fountain to Kingston Pike. A meeting was held in which it was requested that water bars or some other method be utilized to move water rather than paving and they are taking this under consideration. Mileage markers on Greenways are also being explored. One suggestion is for the KTC to purchase the markers and put them up (can be purchased for $15/sign, 28 miles to cover). It was recommended that a proposal be drafted that would outline the KTC providing upkeep for the portion of Cherokee Boulevard that is to be paved, if paving could be stopped. The proposal would also cover the KTC proving mileage markers on Cherokee Boulevard. Carl Sexton will email a packet to the Board for revision/approval. Consideration was giving for adopting a portion of the trail at Big South Fork. The needs would include several volunteers following regulations of the park on upkeep. Michael deLisle discussed the fact that Todd Williams is leaving town permanently as of June 1 and would like to do something to recognize him. The idea of a tie-in with the Expo was discussed.

A committee has been formed to pursue a new Executive Director and draft documents have been created pertaining to the search. Ads will be placed around February. The budget draft was dispersed. Since reported revenues for 2003 were below $300.000, KTC will not be subject to an audit by the state in applying for its solicitation permit. The year also ended in the red due to timing issues and deferred monies that were deposited in January 2004. Although KTC was behind in Spring 2003 things were turned around due to increased sponsorship, fewer costs in youth athletics, increased attendance at road races, and the stock market rebound influencing our Vanguard account. 2004 is beginning fiscally solvent. The 2004 proposed budget was outlined. Items of note include: ♦ Entry fee income is up due to projected sizable increases for 2004. ♦ Track officials were listed on the budget in two locations, it was decided that this item would be located only under YAP. ♦ Increase in expenses includes a raise for Richard French from $100 to $125/event. ♦ Equipment increase in costs includes sound equipment, vehicle, and trailer expenses. ♦ Another item was found in two spots on budget, and it was decided that this item would remain in YAP. ♦ Stanley requested that the KTC fund a portion of his trip to USATF to the level of an additional $500. ♦ ChampionChip was included in the budget for planning purposes. An audit was included in the budget for planning purposes. The budget will be voted on in February. The meeting was adjourned at 9:35 P.M.

I

t seems only yesterday that Christmas had come and gone and, other than a few 5K’s and the KTC long distance series, it is the time of year that going out for a run takes a little more effort. Sitting inside wrapped in a blanket watching basketball games is so much easier to do. It’s just human nature to want to hibernate when it seems to get dark so soon after it gets light.

Thinking I needed to get something written for the next Footnotes, I started to make a list of upcoming races and all of the sudden I realized after I had written down eleven events scheduled for the next few weeks, that the groundhog was wrong, spring is here! I quickly put on my running shorts, shoes and shirt and headed out the door. After all, it wasn’t even dark yet. Okay, so I didn’t even make it to the end of the driveway until I had to turn around for warmer clothes and, of course, ear muffs. But I know better weather is near and soon we’ll all be outside remembering when we stood out in 15-degree weather at Calhouns.

Tales from Third Creek

W

hile not as macabre as the HBO series “Tales from the Crypt” I have encoun tered a few rather unusual situations in 14 years of running Third Creek Greenway. The Third Creek Greenway is probably my favorite place to run during the hot muggy days of summer. From Neyland Drive to the apartments on Sutherland, the trail winds along Third Creek through a canopy of oaks, maples, locusts, bamboo and a variety of other trees providing a cool cover from the summer sun. For me, it’s a great place to put in five to six miles after work. Running the trail has also proven to be at times somewhat puzzling, occasionally frustrating and once or twice, downright unusual. I have never understood this whole deal with cell phones, probably an indication of my generation gap, but why would anyone walking through the beautiful surroundings of the greenway want to spend it on their cell phone? Or why is it that three people walk side by side like the trail is a one way street and you’re going the wrong way? How about the biker coming up from behind who gives no warning of his approach other than the wind whistling through his spokes that you

hear about a second before he speeds past? Or the person who looks right past you when you meet them like there’s no one on the trail but them? (I try not to take that one personally.) Once about five years ago I came upon a cyclist lying prone beside the trail with a couple of people in attendance. A heavy rain earlier in the week had caused the creek to overflow and left the trail surface with a thin slippery residue. Most trail regulars are aware that these conditions frequently occur after a summer storm and accordingly reduce their speed but this guy was a visitor to the area. He didn’t make the turn at the bottom of a short hill and laid his bike out falling and landing on his hip. His ride back out was on a stretcher so I volunteered to take his bike to his car at Volunteer Landing thus completing my one and only run-bike-run duathalon. Perhaps one of the strangest runs I have experienced on the greenway occurred about four years ago. No more than five minutes into the run I passed a guy walking in slacks, longsleeve shirt, gold vest and street shoes which seemed a bit odd for the middle of July. He gave

me a big smile as I went by and I nodded appreciating his friendliness but, being a little wary of the look in his eye, I did give him a little extra space. On my return I spotted the same guy farther along the trail. As I approached him I realized that he was holding a part of his anatomy not normally grasped in public…and he was still smiling. Gazing straight ahead and picking up the pace I practically ran off the path giving him as much distance as I could. Now that in itself would have been enough for one run but not more than a half mile later I heard someone yelling, or at least what I thought was yelling. As I rounded the corner before one of the bridges I found a man standing on an old abutment, facing east and chanting something in a strange tongue. I considered the possibility that he had encountered the guy with the big smile but decided he was just exercising his religious freedoms. Speaking of religious freedoms, no less than a week later I again heard someone loudly proclaiming his religious beliefs. A young man was singing and praising Jesus as he walked the trail enjoying the afternoon and his freedom of religious expression. I considered joining him but I have found it difficult to carry a good tenor line while running even the pedestrian pace that dominates the majority of my jogs. Most runs along the Third Creek Greenway don’t provide material for tales such as these. Instead they are simply pleasant jaunts through a cool urban forest and the trail continues to be my favorite location for sultry summer afternoon runs.

Testing the Waters by

L

iving in the South and, most particularly, East Tennessee, many of us are pretty familiar with NASCAR. Rough and tumble racing, holding onto tight banked curves and trading sheet metal when vying for position. NASCAR is exactly what comes to mind when I think of Indoor Track. The great Indoor Track Meets of years past included the Milrose Games at Madison Square Garden, the Sunkist Invitational in California with its distinctive multi colored lanes, and a classic closer to home, the Mason Dixon Games in Louisville KY. For a number of years, Indoor Track flourished in Knoxville with regular high school meets and a KIL Championship contested each season. For a variety of reasons, indoor track was shelved in Knoxville sometime in the late 1970’s or early ‘80’s. This left a huge void in preparing kids for the outdoor track season, especially in the cases of sprinters, jumpers and throwers. The KTC Youth Athletics Program jumped into this void three years ago to test the waters and to see if there would be enough interest to justify having an Indoor Track and Field program. With little fanfare and a huge boost from the University of Tennessee in allotting practice times at Stokely Athletic Center, we ventured into the unknown. Thirty kids participated the first year, traveling to meets in Bloomington IN in preparation for the AAU National Indoor Track and Field Championships in Merrillville IN. Out of this small group we crowned two National Champions. With this early success we hoped the program would grow in 2003, and grow it did with 75 kids participating. KTC boasted five National Indoor Champions while hosting our first Youth Indoor Track Meet. This year I guess the word must’ve spread far and wide. After the first two weeks of

practice, we had 148 kids ages 6-18 practicing on two difficult nights: Sunday and Wednesday. We ventured to a new meet at Virginia Tech with our high school athletes and experienced 3400 athletes on a 200 meter track for two days of competition. In addition, we hosted the Volunteer Indoor Track Classic which brought close to a thousand high school athletes to town for some excellent competition. Eight performances in this meet made the top 10 marks posted in the nation for their respective events. Another 20 merited rankings in the top 30 national marks for the year.

T

he Volunteer Indoor Track Classic has become a fixture on the high school track and field circuit over the last several years, generating some of the best performances of the indoor season for high school athletes. This year was no exception. The 2004 VTC Indoor held at Stokley Athletic Center produced some of the best high school indoor track marks in the nation, according to Dyestat.com’s national ranking system.

91 local athletes represented KTC at Stokley Athletic Center for the first ever AAU South National Championships. KTC Athletes took to the tight turns of Stokley like Dale Junior at Daytona, crowning 64 individual medalists (top 8 finishes) and 11 National Indoor Champions. To top the season off we had 4 athletes qualify for the Nike National Scholastic Indoor Championships in Landover Maryland — a first for KTC.

Among the VTC performances listed in the top ten marks posted in the U.S. this year were:

We have come a very long way in just three years of “testing the waters.” Indoor Track and Field is alive and we hope will continue to grow in interest and participation. 2004 will certainly not be the end of KTC Youth Athletics testing the waters, as we embark on some innovative ideas this year.

he Nike National Scholastic Indoor Track and Field Championships stands as one of the most prestigious High School Track and Field meets in the country. KTC’s Indoor Track and Field Program is proud to have four of our athletes invited to compete in this prestigious event on March 13 and 14. Carter High School senior and 2003 AAU National 100m Champion, Stephanie Woodfin qualified in the 55 dash with a 7.07 clocking, making her one of the top 10 performers in the nation over this distance. Joining Stephanie in the 55 is Jenae Anderson, Austin East freshman who won the AAU 100m title as an 9 year old for KTC in 1998. Jenae’s identical 7.07 clocking makes her one of the fastest freshmen nationally at this distance. Bianca Blair, another Austin East freshman and one of KTC’s standout hurdlers, qualified in the 55H as a result of her performance at the Volunteer Track Classic. Finally, Karns High School senior Yarrick Kincade will run the 1600 as a result of a quality 1000m race he ran at the Virginia Tech indoor meet. Kudos to these athletes for their outstanding achievements. HELP

Guest

Speakers

Seventeen individuals attended, enjoying locally catered vegetarian lasagna and lots of red wine and homemade bread. The talks started a little late and ended a little late due to pleasant conversational exchanges before and after. The speakers, Jasmin Keller and Jack Neely, were well received. Jasmin presented an informal exchange covering winter workouts which included hand-outs on “traditional cold-weather training rules,” interspersed with personal experience and preferences. Jack shared researched historical data regarding possible road races and/or group runs around the downtown area containing lots of Knoxville history!

event would be cancelled if there was inclement weather. We might try a change in the presentation when advertising the zoo social run, presenting it concisely as an invitingly healthy and fun venue for the whole community. At this point, however, I would not plan another zoo social run for next year due to the factors of cost, time, and low turnout, even though the concept does invoke promise. The KTC social activities calendar continues to provide tradition and innovation. Take a look!

On a very cold Saturday morning with on and off again light flurries, a mixed group of four ran on the inside zoo pathways. A box of muffins and a box of bagels were sent home with runners & volunteers. Additional leftover bagels will be a gift for the next KTC road race. Several comments from a variety of sources were received, suggesting this type of social venue has/still has promise.

Program

Cold steady rain! Refreshments and various KTC literature (LD training program, 2004 KTC Social Activities calendar pads, winter workout handouts from Jasmin Keller’s talk, LD training program discount information for Country Music Marathon) were left near my parked car along with a soggy note ad-

The idea was this: My grandfather, Ralph Chism passed away the beginning of October 2003 at the age of 95 at his home near Knoxville. He was a strong advocate for conservation efforts both locally and internationally and did not hesitate to support various organizations for many years through memberships, additional regular donations and via timely personal correspondences. Plus, anyone who met him readily recognized his sincere and lifelong compassion for the welfare of all animals. In remembrance, I arranged the social run at our local zoo and open to the community to attend. I can’t think of a more appropriate and healthy place for experienced and beginning runners to celebrate the natural world and to remember Grandpa while on a winter run!...Grandpa, thank you for taking care of so many animals! Ed Leaver worked conscientiously as safety director for the course. We had a host of family volunteers and KTC volunteer members. Herb Gengler and Alan Cheatham proved invaluable. Special thanks to Dr Gregory Helton at Halls Animal Hospital and also to Agri Feed & Pet Supply for their contributions. Comments/goals: Low turnout possibly some relation to snow flurries and cold temperatures, and the announcement that the

Comments/goals: More centrally located site preferred, rather than at my place =”house concert-style”) but keep a “studio-like”, cabin-like atmosphere; substitution of guest speaker at the last minute proved well enough - Daniel Roop next time! Concerns were communicated, however, that changes in the agenda were not presented on the bulletin board, which might have elicited more interest in the event. “Art meets Science” theme shows promise, along with the identification of local artists. A request was received to not schedule KTC events on Lady Vol game nights, so I’ll obtain the Lady Vols 2004-2005 schedule when considering KTC social events for 2005; and a request was received to talk less at introductions.

he sound of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons floated through the foggy air as the runners prepared for the start of a running adventure through the scenic, challenging Roane County countryside. Sitting high on a hill overlooking Watts Bar Lake, the Whitestone Country Inn treats visitors to a breathtaking view of the lake when the air is clear. On this morning, however, morning fog obstructed the view. The gun sounded, the runners took off, and the sun gradually burned off the fog. The runners finished a few hours later in bright sunshine and enjoyed a magnificent view of the lake as they kicked to the finish line. These runners had earned that view. The relay, a new feature added this year, added excitement to the overall event and contributed to a record turnout of 176 registered runners (we had 152 in 2002). We all owe thanks to Eddie Reymond for suggesting the addition of this team event. At the starting gun, the first runners for each of the thirteen teams competing in this event headed out wearing colorful “scrunchies” (pony-tail holders) on their wrists as relay batons. Several of the leadoff runners competed also in the individual 30K event, meaning that they continued running after passing their scrunchy on to the second member of their team. The exchanges took place at approximately 6.9 miles and 13.7 miles, leaving about 4.9 miles for the third runner of each team. Runners Market #1 finished first in a time of 1:49:31. Placing second, third, fourth, and fifth were New Balance Knoxville (1:57:57), EBS Team Racing (2:04:53), Team Health Shoppe (2:12:36), and Cool Kids (2:17:37). The 30K race was won by Mikel Wagner of Cleveland (1:57:21), followed by Elijah Shekinah (1:57:52), who also ran the first leg for Runners Market #1, and Seth Ellis of Tellico Plains (1:58:30).

Greenville won the master’s title (2:02:12); Joe Axley of Decatur won grandmasters (2:18:20), and veterans crown was taken by Royce Sayer of Knoxville (2:22:17). Last year’s overall winner, Larry Brede of Knoxville, was the Clydesdale winner (2:09:41), nine minutes ahead of Dean Phillips of Franklin (2:18:53). Greg Shirley of Cookeville was third in (2:31:30). In the women’s division, Marsha Morton of LaFollette won the overall crown in a new course record time of 2:12:16. Second and third place were claimed by Penny Knight of Morristown (2:18:31) and Katie Markley of Knoxville (2:28:30). The masters title was taken by Betty Schohl of Knoxville (whose codirector husband kindly let her race on this busy morning) (2:28:34). Grandmaster winner was Kristy Newton of Knoxville (2:48:02), and veterans winner was Pat Denton of Knoxville (2:57:18). A dozen state records were set, many by unbelievable margins. Seth Ellis broke the previous record for 24-year-olds by an absurd 1:42:09. Other records and margins include Royce Sayer (62) by 23:02, Mikel Wagner (47) by 14:53, Rebekah Justice (24) by 12:13, Marsha Morton (38) by 11:53, Betty Schohl (50) by 9:52, Jeff Mires (40) by 9:02, Katie Markley (23) by 2:39, Steve Pastorek (27) by 2:02, and Beth Rice (45) by 29 seconds. Phyllis Sizemore (57) and Paul Barrette (68) established first-time state records for their particular ages. The clear lesson here, with so many records broken by sizable margins, is that the course is way too easy. We will see if we can toughen it up before next year. We thank Paul Cowell, owner and Innkeeper of the Whitestone Inn, for again hosting this event and providing a now legendary post-race breakfast. Thanks also to perennial supporter, Runner’s Market, for supplies and volunteer assistance at the main

zxc

water station, the Echota Beverage Co. for providing Mountain Valley water after the race, and the Roane County Sheriff’s department and Roane County Rescue Squad for providing safety monitoring on the course. Words cannot sufficiently express our gratitude to our 53 wonderful volunteers, who made this event possible and successful. You were all fantastic on Sunday morning. No runner got hurt. No runner got lost. They all had plenty of water. Registration went well. The finish line team performed flawlessly. The results were perfect. The relay exchange went well. We say it repeatedly, because it is true: A race of this magnitude (at the prices we charge) would be impossible without the competent support of many volunteers. We would like to name everyone, but in the interest of space, we will limit ourselves to listing those six who have now helped at all three Whitestone 30Ks: Doug and Gail Anderson, Liz Corbett, Herb Gengler, Ron McElhaney, and Tina Smith. Beautiful weather, enthusiastic volunteers, and eager runners were the key ingredients to a very successful third annual Whitestone 30K and 3-Person Relay.
