CLUBHOUSE:I T ' S A G O F

The Olde Hideaway took a beating as a possib le s i t e fo r ou r p roposed c lubhouse , bu t t heoveral l response generated f rom the quest ionn a i r e c o n t a i n e d i n l a s t i s s u e ' s n e w s l e t t e r d i de n d u p o n a p o s i t i v e n o t e .

Consensus of club members opted for seriousconsideration in procuring a permanent meetingplace. However, the choice of the Baldwin Roadbuilding was not overwhelmingly received. Its e e m s t h a t w h i l e l a c o n i c h a s h a d i t s r o o t s i nMahopac country the vast majority of membersn o w h a i l f r o m t h e Yo r k t o w n - P e e k s k i l l a r e a .

Cer ta in ly February 's meet ing a t the LanternPub did nothing to enhance the view of popularlocal support as most Mahopac members chose tom i s s t h e s e s s i o n f o r o n e r e a s o n o r a n o t h e r . I naddition the lure of FDR State Park;yorktown'snewly la id t rack ; and the access ib i l i t y toboth from nearby Downing Park, were persuasivel o g i c i n o p t i n g f o r c o n s i d e r a t i o n o f a n o t h e rs i t e , p a r t i c u l a r l y i n t h e Yo r k t o w n a r e a .

As a result, the Investigative Committee,headed by Marc Oxman, reported back accordingly, recommending the c lub not cont inue fur therpursuit of the Hideaway. Club President, DanCaffrey, informed a large contingent of clubmembers at last month's meeting of the recommenda t ion and o f the poss ib i l i t y o f a d ras t i creduction in price - down around the thirty-fi v e t o fi f t y t h o u s a n d d o l l a r l e v e l - b u t t h erecommendation was accepted without a quibble.

The following is a collection of thoughts from a Taconic Road Runnerwho has been to Green Mountain Running Camp.

Question: How can Green Mountain Running Camp meet f t ie needs of aTa c o n i c R o a d R u n n e r ?

Answer: "The vacation aspect. - The ability to train in a wonderful energyfilled atmosphere without the strains that limit one in daily life. Thefood, three meals a day, resemble eating at a healthy gourmetr e s t a u r a n t . "The movltatlon is there. It flows from the camarada of the youngsters, adults, staff and world class competitors."

"The daily experience allows everyone to indulge in and sharerunning without inhereht distractions and negativity"

"A Week of Play"

"It provides the opportunity to consolidate and thoroughly absorbtraining theories and practices into what can work for one as anindividual. My consistent improvement is a credit to the whole campexper ience."

Our Manhattan to Mahopac has caught on, indeed.Twenty five teams, including a ladies division fivedeep, wil l take off from New York Road Runners ClubHeadquarters on 89th Street, at nine o'clock Sundaym o r n i n g , J u n e 2 4 .

Guinness Breweries has come through as sponsor.This wil l aid immensely since it means we won't havet o l o s e m o n e y. A m e r e c o n s i d e r a t i o n . ( W h i l e w e ' r eclassified as a nonprofit organization, i t doesn'tnecessarily follow we have to be a losing one.)

Ser ious ly, the boost f rom Guinness wi l l a id immensely in adding quality to the event, and we aret r u l y g r a t e f u l o f t h e i r c o n s i d e r a t i o n .

Quite a few teams had to be sent letters of nonacceptance, a nice problem in one light, but ratherdisturbing in another. We have to thank Eddie Coyle,New York Daily News running columnist,for putting usinto such a position. Eddie's article was, no doubt,the catalyst in putting the race on the map.

For any members unfami l ia r w i th the deta i ls . . .Eight legs will be run: Manhattan-Bronx (8.5 miles);Bronx-Yonkers (5.5); Yonkers-Hartsdale (5.6); Harts-dale-Elmsford (5.6); Elmsford-Briarcliff(7.3): Briarcliff-Yorktown (5.9); Yorktown-Amawalk(5.3);Amawalk-M a h o p a c ( 8 . 0 ) .

Top ten teams to finish qualify for automaticinvitat ion to next year's event. (Determination ofladies future qualification has not yet been finalized .) Runners receive commemorative t-shirt and arehosted at dinners award ceremony upon completion ofthe race. Entry fee is $100 per team.

Teams entered are: Athletic Attic,College Point,Farrell, Glen Lyon, Good Shepherd Boy's Club; J.C.Penny, Marine Park, Millrose, Millrose Masters, NYFire Dept, NYPD, Orange, Pelham, Plainview-Bethpage,Scarsdale, Turtle Trotters, Washingtom Square, and,o f cou rse , TRRC.

Meet one of the club's most durable members, Bob Rogan. Bob, 62,r e s i d e s i n S h r u b O a k w i t h h i s w i f e , A g n e s , a n d d a u g h t e r , P e g g y, a n d i sa r e t i r e d N e w Yo r k C i t y fi r e l i e u t e n a n t h a v i n g s p e n t m o r e t h a n t w e n t yy e a r s fi g h t i n g fi r e s i n H a r l e m .

B o b s t a r t e d r u n n i n g t o g e t s o m e e x e r c i s e b a c k i n t o h i s l i f e , l o s ea l i t t l e w e i g h t , a n d p u t s o m e c l e a n W e s t c h e s t e r a i r b a c k i n h i s l u n g s .L i t t l e d i d h e r e a l i z e w h a t h e l e t l o o s e .

W i t h f o u r B o s t o n s a n d a s m a n y N e w Yo r k sunder h is bel t - inc luding a PR of 3:10 in * 79 - he st i l l fee ls therei s r o o m f o r i m p r o v e m e n t .

Like most of us. Bob started slowly. In those days he admits thereweren ' t many runners ou t the re . "Today, regard less o f wea ther, the reisn't a day you don't meet someone," says he. Bob is a bel iever of LSDruns wh i le tak ing in the s igh ts and sounds o f h is env i ronment . By endof h is firs t summer he gradual ly had bu i l t up a so l id base of aerobicfi t n e s s ; t h e n h e f e l t r e a d y f o r h i s fi r s t r a c e . T h a t w a s t h e F r. M o o n e yClassic. When he finished he had a feel ing of exci tement and accompl ishm e n t . H e k n e w h e w a s " h o o k e d " .

"F rom then on , " he s ta tes , " i t was a l l downh i l l . " B i t ten by the bug ,the adrenal in flowed; he met new faces, i j^ade new fr iends, went di fferentplaces. There was no stopping him. By '79 he was ready for big time.He ran h i s fi rs t Bos ton , fin i sh ing i n a p roud 3 :30 . A week l a te r he ranSybil ("No lady, she") Ludington, completing the 50K in a credible 4:34.

His favori te distance is lOK, PR of 39:01, which he hopes to lowerp o s s i b l y l a t e r t h i s y e a r. P r e s e n t l y h e i s c o n c e n t r a t i n g o n t h e s h o r t e rdistances, training for NYFD's 5 miler in Central Park in May, where hehopes to break 31 minutes. He seldom does intervals, just some, "pick-m e - u p s , " w h i c h p r o b a b l y a t t e s t t o h i s r e l a t i v e l y f r e e i n j u r y r a t e .Stretching, he feels is overdone and mostly done improperly. "Startslow," he advises, "even walk to warmup."

Bob enjoys his club. "It has a lot to offer even if you're not anactive runner. The club is a great bunch of people where I have mademany new friends." Advice for undergraduates? "Be consistent in yourrunning. How do you know what you're capable of, if you don't give ita t r y ? G o f o r t h e g o l d . "

The commotion brought about by the so-called pacing of Joan Benoitdur ing las t year 's Bos ton mara thon is no th ing shor t o f absurd . A wor ldrecord was considered for d ismissal s imply because of pacing. I t shouldhave been that s imple. As i t turned out Benoit was not paced, but whati f she had? I t was good enough for Roger Bannister, good enough for ahost of world record achievers, but not good enough for Joan Benoit?

No, s i r. You see Joan Benoi t , i t was thought , was possib ly pacedby, o f a l l th ings , a man. Heaven forb id . Now there is movement a foot ,if you'll pardon the expression, to accept distaff records only in runsfo r women on ly. Fa i l i ng tha t , I suppose the re w i l l be an as te r i sk nex tto those records which were set in "mixed" races. Accordingly the males p e c i e s w i l l f o l l o w s u i t .

Age group records for men using leading female marathoners as pacemakers, wi l l have to be kept separate f rom those obtained in events formen only. Of course that 's preposterous for everyone knows the s t rongersex - that's the men - would not stoop to such tactics. Or would they?I mean when was the last time you saw a bunch of men keying on a Benoit,Grate Waitz, or Allison Roe to take them through a sub 2:25? Well...
