LESSONS LEARNED AT THE CHICAGO MARATHON

On October 11 2015 I ran the Chicago Marathon one of thelargest marathons in the US Also running were fellow ESR mem-bers Jordan Andersen and Laura Zeffer Although I had a fun tripseeing the sights of Chicago my race didnrsquot go very well I learnedsome valuable lessons in Chicago though Yoursquod think Irsquod knoweverything about running a marathon since Chicago was my 49th

marathon but a lot can happen over 262 miles A marathon is agreat way to learn about racing and life

The most important thing I learned was not to be too dependenton technology I have worn a Garmin GPS watch for years startingwith the 205 graduating to the 305 and I now have a 220 A GPSwatch is great as it let you know your pace (average and current)distance and time elapsed It can also tell you the elevationnumber of calories burned cadence lap time etc I have becomevery dependent on my watch for pacing I check my watch a coupleof times per mile Itrsquos so automatic I donrsquot even realize Irsquom doingit But being so dependent on your watch has a downside you losethe ability to pace yourself by feel The Chicago Marathon windsthrough streets full of tall buildings - very tall buildings At mile 2my watch had trouble finding the satellite and got out of synctelling me I had run 1 mile when I had only run about 8 miles Ittold me I was running a 745 pace when in reality I was probablyrunning a 920 pace My watch was out of sync for 25 miles Thisfreaked me out and I spent the whole race wondering how fast Iwas actually running Pacing is so important in a long distancerace At each mile marker I tried to do math in my head but by thetime I hit mile 20 I could barely add two numbers together Theterm ldquomarathon stupidrdquo is very true All of your effort is going tomoving your legs and your brain goes into a fog Then it got hotand I did the ldquodeath shufflerdquo for the last six miles What I learnedis that I need to do some of my runs without my watch (or cover itup and not look at it until Irsquom done running) so I can train myselfto run by feel This is a valuable lesson for anyone who races anydistance

Another thing I learned the hard way is to pay attention to raceshAdeadlines I was mistakenly seeded in a corral with people who runmarathons one hour slower than I do In a race with 40000+runners thatrsquos a long way back from like-paced people It was 12long miles of weaving and passing people which used up a lot ofenergy I missed the deadline for requesting a corral change It wastotally my fault and I paid for it

The other important thing I learned was that sometimes your racejust doesnrsquot go the way you want it to You donrsquot feel good theweather doesnrsquot cooperate or it just isnrsquot your day Instead ofrunning with your head down and grinding it out relax slow downand enjoy the atmosphere Give some kids a high five admire thescenery chat with your fellow runners (if you arenrsquot too out ofbreath) read the signs spectators are holding up and thank thevolunteers Be thankful for the ability and the opportunity to runA fast time at a race isnrsquot everything Therersquos always another dayand another race

I learned a lot about Williersquos life duringhis memorial in Lacey on September12th There were at least 200 inattendance at the memorial includingover 40 Eastside Runners despite thelong drive to the outskirts of OlympiaHe played a big role in Eastside Runnersrsquohistory dating back to its inception in1981 Willie was a founding memberclub president and newsletter editor formore than 10 years before I took overthe latter role in 2000 He then took onthe role of race director for ESRrsquos Mt SiRelay and Ultra Runs for the next 9years

Willie had a heart of gold and wonderfulsense of humor that endeared him to allthat knew him Hersquos been in the club 19years longer than I so my memories aremost recent and Irsquom missing a lot ofgood Willie stories

Shortly after I joined the club Willie waslooking to retire from newsletter editor

When he discovered that I had an artbackground he would ask me everyweek if I wanted to take it over Hewas persistent and finally I relentedAfter each newsletter was publishedI would get email from Willie sharinghow much he enjoyed it Irsquom surewhat he enjoyed the most was takinga break from the newsletter

Almost every club newsletter datingback to 1981 has been scanned andarchived on the club website atwwweastsiderunnerscompageThe-Runner-Mumbles Take a walk downmemory lane or learn about ESRrsquospast including Willie and Suersquoscourtship and marriage

The winter newsletter will bededicated to Willie Please share anymemories you have for the next issuebefore Dec 13 Let me know so I canplan for it You can reach me atbobwismerus

The Eastside Runners were well represented at the 2015 Iron GirlSeattle Sprint Triathlon on Sunday August 23 2015 ESR membersLynn Erber Carol Ladd Janet Rumer Kristen Park and LauraZeffer joined experienced triathlete Kate Iiams to brave the refresh-ingly cool waters of Lake Washington and the hot pavement ofInterstate 90 to meet the Iron Girl challenge The womenrsquos-only raceconsisted of a 13 mile swim a 12 mile bike ride and a 5 K run withstart and finish lines at Genesee Park in Seattle

It was the first triathlon forCarol Laura and Janet andonly the second triathlon forLynn and Kristen Lynn lastcompeted in a triathlon whenshe was 30 years old Shesays ldquoI am happy to say thatover 10 years later I am astronger athlete I beat thetime of my 30 year-old selfrdquo

Carol commented that ldquotheevent is obviously aimed atthe beginner triathlete and theemotional support was greatrdquoJanet relied heavily on the volunteers during the 13 mile swimresting at most of the kayaks along the route and feeding off thesupport of the volunteers to give her the confidence to finish theswim ldquoThe volunteers in the water were just fantasticrdquo said JanetldquoI am a very weak swimmer and could not have completed the eventwithout the encouragement and support of the volunteersrdquo

Although most of the ESR ladies competing thought that the swimwas the most challenging Kristen commented that her favorite partof the event was ldquocharging into the water at full speed with the othergirls in my wave after the gun went offrdquo

Carol added an extra challenge to her bike ride and run having beenso excited to get started on the swim that she forgot to put hergoggles down over her eyes Carol said ldquoI went into the water andimmediately flushed my contacts out of my eyes I am pretty blindso by the time I got out of the water I was thinking that I would haveto drop out I couldnrsquot possibly ride my bike without sight But I didAnd I finished I could probably have done better if I could seerdquo

The ESR Iron Girls received training advice from Kate Iiams (whofinished second in her age group and 50th overall) and from ESRmembers and experienced triathletes Kim Boekelman and Aleksan-dra Taylor Kate Kim and Aleksandra trained with them during theweeks leading up to the Iron Girl event Everyone enjoyed the swim

training this summergiven the unusuallywarm summer thatheated the lake waters The Iron Girls trained for the swim at variouslocations including Beaver Lake Lake Sammamish and LakeWashington

Laura commented that she really enjoyed the variety of all threeevents the pace of a shorter race and seeing all the husbands andsignificant others on the sidelines cheering their gals on for achange (We noted that many of the husbands and supporterswatched while attending to babies in strollers) Laura also observedthat strong legs from running can somewhat transfer over to stronglegs for biking

Janet admitted that shersquos not much of a swimmer or biker But shewas the fastest in her age group in transition time to the start of therun She said ldquoI couldnrsquot wait to get back to something that I knewthat I could do I couldnrsquot wait to just runrdquo

The tri babes celebrated their accomplishments with a celebratorydinner at Purple in Bellevue All of them plan to do another triathlonin the near future so if you are interested in joining the ladies insome triathlon training over the next several months they wouldlove to have you join them

Lake Joy is a small lake in a quiet wooded area not far fromCarnation No wonder Trish Ostertag and Paul Schmitzselected this enchanted setting to join hands and share witheach other their magical wedding vows filled with love andrespect for each other Trish escorted by her son Mikecalmly walked down the path from the charming lake cabinAt the bottom of the hill Mike presented his mother to herfather Ted Trish smiled radiantly from ear to ear Herbridesmaids were her daughter Marianne and her long-time friend Connie Broidy Paul stood proudly on the docklooking back at his bride smiling like a little boy in lovePaulrsquos brother Roger and Paulrsquos friend Rich Busch stoodwith him

Following the perfectly planned and executed ceremony onAugust 8th Trish and Paul danced everyone applauded andthe party began in earnest And then Paul and Trish cametripping down the same trail where they had sedatelywalked to the dock at the beginning of their weddingceremony But this time Trish and Paul flitted onto thescene in swimming suits Trish wore a white veil and awhite swim suit with a white flounce around her waist Onher backside was written ldquoJUSTrdquo and on Paulrsquos backsidewas written ldquoMARRIEDrdquo They danced their way to thedock flipped their bums up in the air turned around andjumped into the water And the true Trish and Paulemerged from the lake

How did Trishrsquos and Paulrsquos journeys beginTrish grew up in Wisconsin with two older brothers Shealso lived in Michigan for 15 years in a restored farmhouseon 10 acres Paul grew up in Everett and moved to NewOrleans for a couple of years when he was in his twentiesLater he joined the military with stints in the US as well asPanama Korea Japan Germany Italy Holland DiegoGarcia and Australia

Trish loves to run on trails When asked why she runs Trishexplained ldquoRunning makes me feel young and strong andfit and hopefully keeps me from getting fatrdquo Her favoriterace is Sunflower a trail marathon in the Methow ValleyThis event is held the second weekend in May every yearldquoThe mountain sunflowers are in bloom along with purplelupine so the hills are covered in wildflowers and arestunning The marathon winds its way through trails andhills (lots of hills) along Patterson Lake and finishes atTwisp River Pub for a celebratory pitcherrdquo she laughed
