Dear RunMinnesota Readers,Grandma’s Marathon narrowly averted thestrong possibility of cancellation this year. Justthree days after June 16, the day of the marathon,Duluth and the northeastern portion of the stateexperienced torrential rainfall and flash flooding.

The National Weather Service reported that Du-luth, Minnesota, experienced the highest two dayrainfall ever on June 19 and 20, and second wettestcalendar day on June 19, when flood producingstorms deluged northeast Minnesota.

Portions of Old Highway 61 and areas down-town, where the race is run, were washed out orseverely flooded. The race would not have logisti-cally been able to take place because of resultingclosures and conditions, but fortunately this wasnot the case. So, all were treated to another greatweekend of running.

That the race was run was particularly fortu-nate this year as Grandma’s hosted the U.S. HalfMarathon Championship. You’ll want to readAlex Kurt’s article for race weekend highlightsand results.

Reid Plumbo, a relatively new runner, tells anengaging story about his inspiration for, trainingfor and running the Ice Age Trail 50K. Despite thefact that Reid had run only two marathons prior tothis, he chose his third long race to be an ultrama-rathon. Talk about jumping in feet first. Fortunately,he used the MDRA marathon program as a base,with a bit of tweaking, which certainly was instru-mental to his success at the race.

Candy Patrin takes a nostalgic look back overthe last 40 plus years of running in, “Back then:when ribbons told the story.” Particularly interest-ing is the evolution of race awards and race t-shirts. As much as I am a huge fan of studying andlearning the history of running, I never knew thatrunners received their finishing times on Popsiclesticks and index cards.

Now that the running season is in full swing,you can glean some important and relevant infor-mation in Joe Uhan’s “Stop the bonk.” Bonking isthe term he uses to articulate the process of thebody breaking down, cramping, nausea, dead legsand generally slowing down to what he calls “TheShuffle.” First informing the reader of how and whythe body is breaking down, he then offers severaluseful solutions to help fix such problems.

Now, lest you are thinking the race season hasdrawn to a close, there are plenty more qualityMDRA and other races left to run. Some of theseare listed in News and Notes in this issue. I think Imay just get out there and run some of them my-self. So lace up your shoes, and maybe I’ll see youout while training on Calhoun.

I hope you enjoyed reading this issue, and Ilook forward to hearing from you. Please let meknow what you liked, what you didn’t and whatyou’d like to see in future issues. You can send yourcomments to me at mark.syring@syringlaw.com.

3 JULY/AUGUST 2012

Dear RunMinnesota,I really appreciated your highlighting this year’s Mud Ball with the ex-cellent cover photo of the women’s winner, Kaelyn Williams. However, Ms.Williams’ spotless appearance gives one the impression that she had just fin-ished a run on the Metro Dome’s faux turf.

A race such as the Mud Ball to be run under what would appear to be nearlyantiseptic conditions, hardly lives up to its grimy 40 year history. We started thisrace back in the early 70s to replicate the cross country running as done in Eu-rope and the UK, not the moronic slime fests that we see touted today, repletewith live electric wires and belly crawling through mud under barbed wire.

All this said, I still find an immense satisfaction seeing so many of the orig-inal MDRA races (Fred Kurz 10 mile, Hopkins 7 mile, Ron Daws 25K, to men-tion a few) still being run. Thanks, and keep up the great work.

Sincerely,

Pat Lanin

Another Legend Passes the TorchBY KATHYRN BENHARDUS

And now, at age 87, Alex Ratelle is gone. It’s hard to imagine that someone so possessedof the fires of life could have slipped away. His life story is a tale of grit, determinationand an inner strength that did not shirk from hard effort.

How much courage does it take to fly 60 missions as a navigator on an Army Air CorpsB-17 during World War II? What does it take to survive crash landings and go back up todo it again? Most of us will never experience those life and death moments, but Alex did.And perhaps it was those experiences that gave Alex Ratelle the drive to excel in runningas well.

Born in International Falls, Minnesota, Alex ran track at Washburn High School in Min-neapolis, but didn’t return to running until his 40s. He was a graduate of the University ofMinnesota Medical School in 1951 and founded the anesthesiology department atMethodist Hospital, where he practiced for 38 years.

These ordinary facts do not begin to evoke the fire that he brought to the sport of run-ning. Those who knew him well, people like Scott Keenan, race director of Grandma’sMarathon, Alan Page of Vikings fame and long time runner Tim O’Brien, describe himwith words like relentless, incredible, amazing and obsessed. He gave to running a singlemindedness that resulted in greatness.

Tim recounted the 1981 Grandma’s Marathon, where he finished just behind LorraineMoeller, who set a women’s course record of 2:29 that stood for over 15 years. Then cameO’Brien, age 28, with a 2:30:30. Behind him was Alex Ratelle, age 56, running a 2:30:40,an age group course record that still stands today.

In all, Alex ran 161 marathons, and an uncountable number of shorter races. He domi-nated his age group so thoroughly that his opponents had to pick other races or resignthemselves to second. The Minnesota Running Data Center still lists him as the all timerecord holder in the 50s and 60s age groups in a multitude of distances. He also foundeda charitable 5K known as Nana’s Run, which was contested throughout the 90s and al-ways drew the best of the elite.

Alex will be missed by his loving wife, Patricia, his children and grandchildren, but hewill also be missed by the Minnesota running community. He taught us how to live andhow to run the good race.

As Tim O’Brien said, “RIP…Run in Peace.”

Popular HalfMarathon Returnsto StillwaterThe Jon Francis Half-Marathonwill return in 2012, under the man-agement of the Jon Francis Foun-dation and UpTempo RaceManagement. The 2010 race at-tracted over 900 runners the lasttime it ran alongside the StillwaterMarathon.

The Jon Francis Foundation (JFF)was created in 2007, after a lifechanging, personal tragedy in thewilderness. The foundation’s workhonors the memory of an amazingyoung man, Jon Francis, who

touched and inspired others. Jonwas a Bible Camp Counselor inIdaho, a youth minister in Utah, amountain climber and a remarkableathlete and human being.

The 13.1 mile course, which isUSATF sanctioned, will follow abeautiful and somewhat challeng-ing route on rolling hills and ruralroads past lakes, farms, forest andopen fields. The half marathoncourse was chosen, not only for itsbeauty, but also because these arethe roads that Jon Francis ran for 10years while training for high schooland college cross country competi-tion. A shorter 8K race will circleSquare Lake. In addition, there willbe a family friendly fun run.

This is a nonprofit charity event.The Jon Francis Foundation is dedi-cated to saving lives throughwilderness safety education, em-powering families who have suf-fered the loss of a loved one in thewilderness and advocating for legalprotection for missing adults atwww.jonfrancis.org.

Jon was raised in Stillwater, Min-nesota, where he was a three sportathlete, a four time state champion,a national champion runner andteam captain at Stillwater HighSchool. After college Jon moved toOgden, Utah, to serve as Director ofYouth Ministry at AscensionLutheran Church. He was on his wayto seminary to pursue ordination.

Tragically, Jon never completedhis journey. At age 24, Jon Francisdied in a mountain climbing acci-dent in the rugged Sawtooth Moun-tains in Central, Idaho, on July 15,2006. Awards and prizes will bepresented to top finishers in allmen’s and woman’s age groups. Ittakes a village to raise an amazingchild and to organize an excep-tional event. Runners, volunteersand sponsors will be greatly appre-ciated and rewarded.

R unning competitionshave come a long waysince the first runningboom in the 1970s.Sometimes it is hard

to figure out whether all of thechanges in the past 40 plus yearshave been for the better, a topicthat probably gets people talkingduring group runs. In reality, a lotof runners judge a race by theirtime. You rarely hear someone say,“Oh my time was lousy, but I lovethe medal or the t-shirt.”

For newer runners, t-shirts andmedals have always been a part ofthe race scene. Their runningmemories do not go back to thedays when runners received theirfinishing times on Popsicle sticks,index cards or ribbons indicatingthe overall place.

“Back then” there was typi-cally an open, and maybe, in thelarger events, a senior division forover age 40 runners. There wereno age groups typical of racestoday. You were either one of thetop runners or a finisher. Therewere also fewer runners in therace, so you might finish twelfthoverall and in last place.

No one back then displayed aheavy medal hanging from a rib-bon around their neck. There wasno competition between races forthe most original or memorablemedal or articles about the topmarathon finisher medals, such as

the one in the May/June issue ofMarathon Guide.

Many of the top 25 medals men-tioned in the Marathon Guide arti-cle picture something about therace location or form a uniqueshape such as a surfboard, a spaceship or a bottle opener. One won-ders if these current day medalscould at some point be confiscatedby airport security as beingdeemed potentially dangerous.

Of course, no one back thenthought much about how theywere going to display or store allof their awards. If you were an avidrunner/collector who wanted tokeep your race awards organizedsomewhere, all you really neededwas a container about the size of a shoebox.

MDRA member and runner,turned race walker, Bob Stumm, of St. Paul, Minnesota, keeps his116 multi-colored ribbon collectionin an old shoebox. Stumm’s collection tells the story of his running career that happens to coincide with the main ribbonaward era. Stumm can easily takeyou through his running history ashe fingers through the shoebox,pulls out a ribbon and casuallygives some commentary on a par-ticular competition.

Stumm began running in thefall of 1971, after being a track andfield spectator during his schoolyears. Aerobics, a book written by

Kenneth H. Cooper, was the cata-lyst for Stumm to start running.Once he could run two to threemiles, Stumm saw a notice in thenewspaper about a two mile racein New Hope, Minnesota, and de-cided to try it. In 1987, Stummswitched from running to racewalking, which is his choice ofcompetition today.

The ribbon collection mainlyspans a timeline of November1972 until 1983 and represents 45races that took place in 37 differ-ent towns. Roughly a dozen of theribbons are race awards, while therest of Stumm’s collection is forparticipation, ala the t-shirtshanded out today.

Within his collection, there areseven ribbons from the four mileGoose Chase run in Rochester,Minnesota. In the 1970s, whengeese within Rochester’s city lim-its were a bit of a novelty, the run-ners often brought food for them.The Goose Chase was part of aninformal circuit of races, which in-cluded a couple of races in EauClaire, Wisconsin, as well asevents such as the Hopkins Rasp-berry Race.

Stumm’s ribbon collection in-cludes the Skyline Parkway fivemile in Duluth, Minnesota, the Ex-celsior Firecracker race, the AnokaHalloween race and the Como Re-lays, to name a few.

The race organizers were often

Give-aways a microcosm of the changes in running eventsBY CANDY PATRIN

When RibbonsTold the Story

8JULY/AUGUST 2012

running clubs, local businesses orsmall towns, as part of a local fes-tival. Some ribbons display onlythe name of the running club thatsponsored the event with a smallcard on the back to add in racespecific information, e.g., name,date, time and place. Other rib-bons indicate the runner’s finish-ing place. “Many of these raceswere ad hoc affairs,” recallsStumm.

Among Stumm’s collection area few races with a “shtick.” TheLake-Land Striders from Byron,Minnesota, put on a seven milepredict-your-time race. In April1979, Stumm did the Smelt Run, asix mile race off of Highway 61near Duluth, Minnesota. He re-members the race, an out-and-back route. The three miles outwere tough and into the wind.

After he had earned 50 ribbons,Stumm decided on a goal of 100.He began to look for races that

specifically handed out ribbons asawards. However, somewhere dur-ing his ribbon odyssey, Stummlost track of the ribbon count.

“It occurred as I morphed into arace walker. There got to be apoint where I forgot about this 100goal, and then I surpassed it. Itwas no longer something that Iwas reaching for,” says Stumm.

As Stumm looks at his ribboncollection, he cannot help but re-member some other major differ-ences between the races backthen and now.

You have to look hard today tofind races that hand out ribbons,although there still are a few to befound. There is something thatlinks the running years together.Back then, and now, the mostmemorable part of a race that getstalked about by most runners istheir time. And maybe theweather.

When a ribbon was enough...• Most of the races attracted less than 100 runners and were primarily

hosted by track clubs.

• There were not many female runners, and even fewer, if any, satellite toilets.

• Friends or relatives, who came to watch their favorite runner, wereeasily recruited as instant volunteers.

• The start times were typically late morning or early afternoon togive runners from across the state time to get to the race.

• For the majority of races, there were no road closures or security sup-port along the route, which meant that many routes went throughparks or around a lake.

• And, the registration fees were in the $1.00 to $2.00 range.

T R A I N I N G

Although it’s only July, the fallmarathon season is on the hori-zon. This is a wonderful time ofyear as the air cools, the leavesturn colors and we get to see thefruits of our summer labor: thescores of miles, tempo runs, inter-vals and weekend long runs, bythrowing down at our favorite fallmarathon.

The marathon can be a crapshoot, or as I used to call it, a spinof the roulette wheel. You put allyour money on one number, a sin-gular road marathon, and you spinthe wheel, hoping that fitness,health and rest and race day con-ditions all come together to pro-duce a PR.

So it’s a bummer that, when allthose things come together, thatthe wheels come flying off, almostpredictably, 30K into the race:cramping, dead-legs, slow-down.The Bonk.

Bonks are not random. Crampsare not random. Neither is a pre-cipitous slow-down only minutesafter “feeling fine.” This is yourbody telling you something iswrong. And when they come,you’re not powerless; you need todo something about it. Ultra run-ners have learned the lessons as amatter of survival. But these samelessons can, and should, be ap-plied to the road guys to ensure aconsistent performance.

The Bonk can result from fourdifferent reasons:

Problem #1: Mechanicalbreakdown.The fatigue of a marathon effortcan cause mid-race mechanics todeteriorate. A common result iscramping with the calves and ham-strings being common culprits.

Solution: Be mindful of your me-chanics, both during long runs andlate in the race. If cramping (or the“pre-cramp blips”) begins, adjustyour mechanics: stride out more,drive your hips or lift your knees abit more to alleviate. Though diffi-cult, a slight adjustment in me-chanics can stave off cramp issuesalmost immediately. Practice theseadjustments in your long runs andbe aware of your “habits” whenyou fatigue.

Problem #2: Burning up glycogen.We train, both easy and hard, in aphysiological sense, to make ourbodies more efficient at energyuse. We teach it to use fat asmuch as possible, and to build upglycogen stores in muscles andliver tissue. The key is to budgetglycogen for the duration of a

marathon. Going out too hard canblow through your glycogenstores prematurely.

Solution: Supplement early andoften with additional sugars. Forglycogen, you can’t truly restore it:once it’s gone, it’s gone. Supple-mental energy sources can help,especially starting early with aregiment of gels that the body canuse concurrently with glycogen.

A true glycogen bonk is farmore rare than people would haveyou believe; you train for fitness,you train for pace. If you blowglycogen, you’ll blow it in a bigway by going out too hard at apace you can’t sustain. A trueglycogen bonk is exceedingly rarefor the smart, well-preparedmarathoner.

Problem #3: Dehydration. You lose a ton of water in amarathon, no matter the tempera-ture. Moreover, for the fallmarathon, you tend to lose evenmore and notice it less. The lowerhumidity saps the moisture fromyour body and, as you’re no longerdrenched in August humidity, youtend to notice it less.

The body requires water formuscle function and sugar break-

Stop the Bonk

I don’t claim to be a coach or physiologist.Most everything I write for the pages of RunMinnesota are based upon

my own personal experiences. Last year, I wrote an article about bonking

during a marathon, saying, “Once a bonk arrives, it can be a miserable

shuffle the rest of the way. The only thing we can do is watch the mile

splits get slower and slower.”

Even though I typically take three to four gels per marathon, while

pacing myself according to my training, I’ve found myself having to deal

with bonking from time to time. And by “dealing with,” I mean watching

my splits get slower and slower.

An ultra marathoning buddy of mine, Joe Uhan, who has degrees in

Chemistry, Kinesiology and Physical Therapy, read that article and said

that I was wrong. He wrote a great rebuttal on his blog, stating the things

we can do to overcome The Bonk, rather than just taking a passive ap-

proach. He’s agreed to share his thoughts here, so that we can incorpo-

rate his ideas into our summer training plans as we prepare for fall

marathons. - Chad Austin

Strategies to avoid dreaded, helpless shu!ing late in racesBY JOE UHAN with forward by Chad Austin

down. No water, no fuel, no mus-cle contraction.

Solution: Take some fluids…butnot too much. Elites have the lux-ury of “bottle service,” where theyget to pick up their own bottle ofchosen fluids at several points inthe race. In ultramarathons, run-ners carry their own bottle andtake in a bottle an hour or about12 to 16 ounces of fluid.

How much are you getting dur-ing your marathon? None? Ormaybe too much? In his new book,“Waterlogged,” running sportsmedicine guru Tim Noakes ad-dresses the dangers of overhydra-tion in distance running.

He recommends a maximum of250 to 400 milliliters (eight to 12ounces) per hour of fluid in en-durances races, even in the hottestconditions. Any more and you riskhyponatremia, which is a danger-

ous and sometimes lethal conditionof too much fluid in the system.

Symptoms of hyponatremia,which include dizziness, nauseaand vomiting, can mirror those of“The Bonk.” Be very careful not toover-drink, especially if race dayconditions are mild and your paceis slower. If you feel these symp-toms in absence of thirst, stopdrinking. This includes electrolytedrinks, such as Gatorade.

Perhaps the most important jobof in-race fluids is to process yourin-race sugars. I recommend onesmall cup of fluid (four to sixounces) after each gel to helpprocess that vital fuel.

Problem #4: Electrolytedeficiency. This is, in my opinion, the numberone reason for the nasty bonk:cramping, nausea and The Shuffle.Your body primarily requires

sodium and potassium for musclecontraction. Nerves and musclesfire via cascading movement ofsodium in and out. These firingsare recharged with potassium.

However, the body must alsocool itself. With perspiration goesthe salt.

Cramping is not normal in en-durance events. Again, you trainfor duration, you train for pace. Doyou cramp in workouts? Not nor-mally. Precipitous drop-offs inpace, say anything exceeding 20to 30 seconds per mile for a fourhour marathoner, at the end of amarathon is not normal.

Solution: Supplemental salt.This is anecdotal from ultra run-ners and from me, but I believeeveryone would benefit from 500to 1000 milligrams of supple-mental sodium during amarathon, above and beyond

what is provided in conventionalsports drink and fuels.

Again, it is widely accepted dur-ing ultra races that the ideal sup-plementation of electrolytes is 100to 400 milligrams of sodium orbroad spectrum electrolytes perhour for events lasting over fourhours. For the ultra runner, thiscan come from a variety ofsources: fluid mixtures, salt cap-sules or “real food” at aid stationsladen with salty food like chips,potatoes, broth, etc.

For marathoners, you couldcarry something as simple as oneor two salt tablets in a baggie. Popone in your mouth (with or withoutwater) in the second half of amarathon, and The Bonk, the slow-down, the cramps, the dead-legs,could be gone within seconds.

Common QuestionsI can’t handle eating or drinking anything in arace. How am I going to take that stuff?You train for the distance, the pace, the shoes, the clothing, etc. Andyou need to train to fuel. Train to carry the least amount of suppliesnecessary to maximize performance.

Train to take fuel, whether its gels, blocks or “real food,” and trainhow to carry it. Carry salt tablets in tiny zip-lock bags. Put them in yourpocket or staple them to your singlet. Do whatever it takes.

Train to drink. Practice drinking from a cup while moving, and thenpractice drinking while moving at your goal marathon pace.

Carry supplemental salt. Here are some terrific options:

• Succeed! S-caps. These are the gold standard for ultra runners.Packed with more than 300 milligrams of sodium, they’re thequick fix salt boost that ultra runners consume. Just one of thesetabs has the potential to reverse the nastiest bonk within seconds.

• Hammer Endurolytes (“E” caps) capsules. This capsule is a moreconservative, broad-spectrum supplement that contains only 40milligrams of sodium, but also contains potassium, magnesiumand calcium, which are also essential electrolytes for perform-ance.

• Clif-Blok Margarita flavor gel blocks. These tend to be the best ofboth worlds: a fuel and salt multi-tasker. They’re useful becauseyou don’t have to worry about carrying extra supplies. However, ifyou want fuel or salt only, you’re out of luck with these. I like tocarry one sleeve of these during a marathon.

All of these contain salt above and beyond conventional gels.They’re to be used sparingly, perhaps two or three times over thecourse of a race or when you get into trouble.

How do I know what or how much to take?Trial. Practice. Train. Try everything in training before you race with it.Simply go out on a long run and bring one of the above products. Asyou start to bonk, or even just feel bad, wait a few miles and then takeyour supplement. Ideally, you want to do this with little or no stopping.

Now your job is to monitor how your stomach and legs react. Formost, just the slightest bit of salt can feel like a B12 shot. Within sec-onds you’ll be saying, “I’m back, baby!” Experiment, learn and train.

We train extremely hard for many months, if not years, to reach ourmarathon goals. Don’t let The Bonk blow all that work, when all it maytake is a mere half gram of salt.

We have a saying amongst our ultra group: “Solve your problems!”This applies to marathoners as well. When The Bonk comes, be pre-pared to do something about it.

I ’ll do it, if you do it.” Theseare the words that put me onmy path to running my first50K trail race. Interestinglyenough, these are also the

same words that swept me into myfirst marathon, which I ran in June2011. It seems I am quite sug-gestible when it comes to racing.

Anyway, I will celebrate my twoyear running anniversary in Octo-ber of 2012, so the perspective of-fered in this article is that ofsomeone very new to running withonly two marathons under his belt.Whether it’s idealistic, or idiotic, torun a 50K as your third big race isleft to the reader, but this shouldprovide context as I tell this story.

I’ve been training with MDRAsince February of 2011 along withmy friend and colleague, AlexStephens. Through the MDRASpring Marathon Training Group,the Fall Marathon Training Groupand the Polar Bears, I’ve met a lotof wonderful people and avoidedcountless running disasters bylearning from their vast experience(Body Glide, anyone?).

Over the summer of 2011, as Iwas training for the Twin CitiesMarathon, two things happenedthat set the Ice Age 50K in motionfor me, both of which occurred inthe same week. First, I read Bornto Run. Now, pause. Even though

this should be the part where Italk about dumping my Asics for apair of sandals, it’s not. I didn’t be-come a barefoot evangelist, butthe part about running great dis-tances did stick in my mind.

Later that week, while runningwith MDRAer Marty Humphrey, Iasked him about his ultrama-rathon experience, and he re-marked, “Ultras are way easierthan marathons. You just run [12minute miles] all day.” Little did Iknow just how deep Marty’s run-ning experience went, and that,what is easy for him may not beeasy for all. However, his encour-agement got me thinking, could Ireally run all day?

Equilibrium is a concept thatdescribes things that are in bal-ance. If you were to fill a bathtubwith an adjustable drain, youcould find a point at which theamount of water coming into thetub was the same as the amountdraining out. You could run the tublike this indefinitely and it wouldnever overflow or become empty.

Bringing this back to running, tome, it seemed that in order to runall day, I would need to find ananalogous state: a new equilibriumwhere I could run indefinitely. En-ergy in (food) would need to equalenergy out (running) and fluids in(water) would need to equal fluids

out (sweat). Easy enough. Scientifically, of course, this is

fantasy. One’s body cannot remainrunning indefinitely. For starters,you’ll need to do things, like sleep,which make this impossible. How-ever, the idea is a powerful one,because it differentiates ultrasfrom marathons.

For elite athletes, they run tothe absolute edge of their energystores over the marathon distance,with a goal of crossing the finishline just before empty. Ultra run-ners drain their energy stores, too,but they must find some way toslow the rate at which they drainthem. To do this they drink Coke,eat pizza, PB&Js, candy and chipsalong the run to replenish the pro-teins, fats and carbohydratesbeing consumed.

The search for this new equilib-rium, and the prospect of eatingM&Ms while I ran, was intenselyappealing and something amarathon didn’t offer. I think this,above all else, intrigued me themost about running this distance.

On our next long run, I men-tioned all this ultramarathon non-sense to Alex. Surprisingly, it wasnot flatly rejected. In fact, and asis usually the case, he was alreadyway ahead of me on this. He wasfinishing a book about how totrain for, and complete, ultrama-rathons of 50K or more titled Re-lentless Forward Progress.

When he was finished with thebook, he loaned it to me, and I fin-ished it the next week. I highly rec-ommend this book to anyone whois considering an ultra of any kind.Not because it’s the best, mostcomplete resource on the subject,but because it makes ultras acces-sible to people who haven’t yetconsidered this distance.

Knowing Alex and I were on the

same page, and that I’d havesomeone to commiserate with, Imade the decision to run almost inthat instant.

I wonder if other runners dothis: commit to a race in yourhead well before signing up, ortelling anyone else you’ve com-mitted. I did this with my firstrace and with the Ice Age 50K aswell. As soon as I had the idea inmy head, I absolutely knew I wasrunning, but I think I made mywife and everyone else wait amonth while I “considered” it.

My wife claims she knew Iwould be running this from the firsttime I mentioned it to her. I claim Ineeded the time. One morning dur-ing a Polar Bear long run, I proposi-tioned Alex thusly: “I’ll do it, if youdo it.” He said “game on” or somesuch. And so, with Alex as a part-ner, I officially made the decision.The next weekend, we were at Cari-bou Coffee hammering out ourtraining schedule.

For training, we decided to shutout most advice from the Internet,books and magazines and focussolely on the guidance provided byMDRA members. This had atremendous upside, because if wefailed miserably, we knew squarelyat whom to point the finger. Ofcourse that would never be thecase, because we knew we were ingood hands having our schedulereviewed by veteran ultrama-rathoners and MDRA coaches,Kelly Tabara and Nathan Campeau.

Our formula for the 50K racewas fairly simple: use the MDRAmarathon program as a base, butinstead of doing three 20 milers,do one 20, one 22 and one 24miler. We also did most of ourweekly runs on trails, neverskipped a Sunday recovery runand then added a serious “back-

to-back” on one weekend. A“back-to-back” is a long run onSaturday, followed by another onSunday.

In our case, Alex and I com-pleted a 22 miler, followed by a 16miler over Easter weekend. Look-ing back on that weekend, Alexsaid, “By the end of the 16 milerun, my body was pretty fatigued,but it helped me get used to run-ning on really tired legs and gaveme confidence I could strugglethrough on race day.”

Keri Peterson, the thirdMDRAer in the Ice Age field, had asimilar approach to training andsaid, “My training schedule hadme run long miles both Saturdayand Sunday to prepare my bodyfor lots of time on my feet.”

The last ingredient in our train-ing plan was significant hill workthat we did mostly at Murphy-Han-rehan Park Reserve in Savage,Minnesota. A particularly tortuoussix and a half mile loop throughMurphy offers around 1600 feet ofvertical elevation. Two timesaround this loop guarantees agood hill workout, and doing thisover many weekends greatly en-hanced our preparedness for theIce Age trail.

Living in Savage, Alex was a fre-quent visitor at Murphy. Alex “ranat Murphy one to two times in themiddle of the week, encompassingabout 20 percent of [his] totaltraining mileage on hilly trails.”

One 80 degree Sunday after-noon, a 13 mile Murphy endeavortaught Alex and I an important les-son about pace and terrain.

At this point, we were weeksinto our training schedule andfeeling a bit overconfident, so weset out trying to kill this loop andprove how tough we were. We ranup every hill at marathon paceand at the end of the first timearound, we were both feelingsluggish and tired.

As we started the second loop,we quickly realized that our topspeed approach to these hills wasnot sustainable. Less than halfwaythrough, we were reduced to walk-ing up even the smallest gradesand many flats as well.

We continued this way, dead on

our feet, until we completed thesecond loop nearly 90 minutesafter we began. By trying to keepour marathon pace and running upthese hills, we were completely ig-noring everything we’d read andeverything we’d been told aboutrunning trail ultras: you must walkup the hills. Walking up hills iscommonplace in the ultra commu-nity, but being newcomers to thesport, we ignored the advice andwere subsequently forced to aslow, labored walk.

Both Alex and I independentlylook back on this experience asthe most valuable to us in all thetraining, because it taught usabout hills, pace and grit: the un-willingness to accept defeat nomatter what. We ran over 700miles preparing for this race, andour best training was getting de-stroyed by one 13 mile run.

Keri Peterson had a similar en-counter with grit. Keri recalled,“One very cold Saturday morning[in January 2012], my water frozeup well into an 18 mile run. I knewthis was hard core, and I wasbuilding my mental toughness,and I was loving every minute.”While Keri was empowered by herencounter with grit immediately,neither Alex or I learned the valueof this day until after crossing thefinish line.

Alex, Keri and I each dealt withinjury at one point or another dur-ing the course of the training. Forme personally, this taught me yetanother lesson about grit (there’sa theme here). As I peakedaround 60 miles per week, Ibegan to have pain along my rightkneecap. I could run through it,but it didn’t feel right. I had tomake a very difficult decision toskip four days of training, whichincluded my final long run of 24miles. I was devastated.

Everything I had worked forover the last four months seemedto be in jeopardy, and I was inpanic mode. Anyone who’s trainedfor a race knows how much emo-tional and physical investmentgoes into it. To have all that work,and all that effort threatened byinjury was spiritually debilitating.

The first person I turned to in

“For this road runner, the terrain was amajor shock... I knew when I saw a hillsidethat had railroad ties on guard against ava-lanches that I was no longer in Kansas.”

13 JULY/AUGUST 2012

this case was, of course, Alex. Hehas a way of laying things out verylogically with a dose of pragma-tism that keeps me grounded. Isent him a few frantic text mes-sages, and at the end of the ex-change, he replied, “You could notrun from now to the start [of therace], and you’d be fine physically.It’s your stupid brain. We’ll powerthrough.” Well said, Alex.

I instantly felt better with thislittle bit of external validation. Inmy panic, I also reached out foradvice to coach Kelly Tabara, whooffered a very grounding, longterm perspective. She encouragedme to relax, review my mileage logand assured me the miles were inthe bank.

I anxiously took the time Ineeded, saw the doctor, rested upand returned to training. Ulti-mately, this was the right decision,but it was difficult to make withouta long term perspective. In reality,I only missed five percent of myscheduled mileage; I still had 95percent of my miles in by race day,and I was fine.

“Race day came so quickly,” re-called Keri. “I hoped my trainingwas adequate.” The three of usshowed up at the start, and we im-mediately knew this was com-pletely unlike any marathon we’dever done. There was no musicblaring, no line for the bathroom, acampfire burning at the startingline and maybe 150 people stand-ing around very casually.

Keri remembered, “The atmos-phere was very laid back and lowkey.” What struck me the mostwas the actual start of the 50K.The race director got up on a lad-der, literally a step ladder, andgave a few brief instructions. To-wards the end, he said, “Okay,we’ll start in five.” We assumedthis meant that in five minuteswe’d have an official start, until hebegan counting,“Five!...four!...three!...two!...”

Instantly, I loved the atmos-phere of this race. We were off.

The first leg of the Ice Age 50Kis a six and a half mile out andback on undulating, single tracktrail. Making up 13 miles of therace, this is the most technical

part of the course. We scaledcraggy hillsides, single track dirt,sand, grass, gravel and trails stud-ded with rocks about the size oftennis balls.

For this road runner, the ter-rain was a major shock and hadme relying heavily on my trainingat Murphy, even if it was minimal.I knew when I saw a hillside thathad railroad ties on guardagainst avalanches that I was nolonger in Kansas.

The first 13 miles were a semi-nar in ultramarathon culture, mostnotably in two ways. First was thatonly 90 seconds into the race, weencountered our first hill, and theentire field slowed to a walk.Everyone walked up that first hilland every hill thereafter. Thiscame as a significant relief, be-cause we had read about this, andit turned out to be true. Luckily, wehad trained, or had been forced totrain, to walk up hills.

Alex explained the secondpoint of ultramarathon culture bril-liantly. “Early on in the race, someof the leaders of the 50 mile racewere coming towards us on thesingle track portion of the course.These guys were just bombingthese downhills, but were yellingout encouragement to us 50Kersas they screamed by.

“It amazed me that these guyswho had been on the course forthree plus hours at this point wereso positive. This attitude was notisolated to a few, but nearly everyperson on the course, and it wascontagious. Pretty soon, I foundmyself giving encouragement toanyone I passed or passed by me.It felt as if everyone was in therace together all trying to tame therelentless beast of a course wehad come to run. It was truly anexperience like no other.”

The 13 mile mark puts you backat the start/finish line. From here,you go out on two nine mile loopsof a Nordic ski trail in KettleMoraine State Forest. This loopstarted with a short break from theterrain and at first offered three tofour miles of gently rolling grassytrails. I felt a huge sigh of relief,because I thought the worst wasbehind me. In truth, it was only a

brief respite before returning tosignificant ups and downs.

In some cases, the terrain wasworse than the first out and back.“I was expecting hills for the firsthalf of the race, but I was not ex-pecting it to remain hilly duringthe second half,” Alex said. “Thehills were relentless.” He was rightbecause the next three miles ofthe loop were full of steep climbsand descents. Up and down wewent until miles 18 to 22 wherethe course tempered slightly. Wewere treated to soft paths throughold growth pine forests with onlyminimal grades to battle.

By mile 22, I had completed myfirst loop of the Nordic trail. I wasback where I started and staringdown one more nine mile loop. Igot some encouragement from mywife, ate a banana and set offagain. The first time around hadgiven me a mental map of thecourse, so at least I knew whatwas in store. However, all I couldthink about by this point was thesweet release of the finish line.

By the last time through thehilly section, I couldn’t wait for thenext hill, because it meant achance to walk. Comparing notesafterward, each of us admittedlooking forward to the hilly sec-tions of this loop, just so we couldwalk it. This type of warped think-ing is apparently common after 20odd miles on the Ice Age trail.

Anyone who’s trained for andcompleted a race knows the feel-ing of seeing the finish line comeinto view. When I saw the finish

line, I felt that huge rush of emo-tion that everyone feels: accom-plishment, relief, pride, pain. Therace director was cheering me on,along with a hundred or so specta-tors, and sharing the love thateveryone in the race had offered.

When I crossed the finish line5:22 after I started, I felt a realsense of achievement. I was ex-tremely tired, but still felt goodenough to stand around, chat andeat some fruit and pasta salad.True to the casual nature of thisrace, I even enjoyed a pour fromthe kegs of local beer they had outfor all the participants.

I am really proud of my fellowrunners, Alex Stephens and KeriPeterson, who also finished therace with ear-to-ear smiles on theirfaces. Alex finished in 5:43 andKeri finished in 6:36.

Our finish times are merely amarker of completion; the factthat we trained for and com-pleted this race at all was thereal accomplishment. On May 12,three MDRAers achieved a newgoal that was six or more monthsin the making and had fun doingit. This is vastly more importantthan the times.

After the race, we sat together inour hotel room, trading experiencesof the day, generally basking in theglow of what we’d all done. Accom-plishment and satisfaction drippedfrom the walls while we enjoyed adrink we had really earned. At thatmoment it was obvious why thiswas a great event.

While thousands of runners took part inGrandma’s Marathon and the GarryBjorklund Half Marathon in Duluth, June16, a smaller group of elites was compet-ing for additional accolades at the U.S.Half Marathon Championship.

One of Minnesota’s biggest and best showcases of running served asthe host event for the championships, which drew a slew of elite competi-tors hunting for a national title and a piece of the $82,000 purse.

They included many of Minnesota’s top runners and others with Min-nesota roots, including women’s champion Kara Goucher. The Duluth Eastgraduate returned home to win the national half marathon title in 1:09:46.

Abdi Abdirahman, of Tuscon, Arizona, took the men’s and overall titlein 1:02:46, edging fellow Arizonans, Brett Gotcher, of Flagstaff, and IanBurrell, also of Tuscon, by three and five seconds, respectively.

“We knew we would lose a cer-tain number of athletes whoskipped the half marathon cham-pionships to compete in the U.S.Olympic Track Trials, but all in allwe couldn’t have asked for a bet-ter field,” said Grandma’sMarathon spokesperson BobGustafson. “Fortunately, the tim-ing was ideal for Kara and Abdi asthey prepared for their Olympicmarathons.”

The top Minnesotan at the racewas Michael Reneau, of St. Paul,who finished tenth in 1:04:37. Hewas five seconds ahead of TeamUSA Minnesota member MattGabrielson, who finished eleventhin 1:04:42.

“I’ve gone back and forth onhow I feel about my race,” saidGabrielson, who competed in theOlympic Marathon Trials in Houstonin January, where he was in the firstchase pack before dropping out.“I’m a little bit disappointed, but atthe same time I realize it was apretty decent race considering thetraining I’ve gotten in this spring.”

Gabrielson also noted he devel-oped a side stitch near the fivemile mark, which persisted untilnearly the 12 mile mark.

“I might have been out toofast,” he said. “I did feel reallygood and thought I might be in thetop three or five, so I’m disap-pointed I didn’t hold on.”

Joe Moore, of Minneapolis, fin-ished twelfth, one second behindGabrielson. And fellow Team USAMinnesota runners, Josh Moen, ofEden Prairie, and Matt Llano, ofMinneapolis, finished nineteenthand twenty-second, in 1:05:25 and1:05:38, respectively.

In the women’s race, the topMinnesotan (discounting Goucher,who now trains in Portland, Ore-gon) was former Team USA Min-nesota runner Michelle Frey, ofMinneapolis, who finished third(eighty-fifth overall) in 1:11:45.

“The race went perfectly,” saidFrey, who PR’d by over a minute. “Iwas kind of pressing the whole

time, and had that goal of a PR inmind the whole way. From 10 mileson I was just running scared that Iwasn’t going to PR.”

She was followed by Team USAMinnesota’s Emily Brown, of Min-netonka, who was sixth (eighty-ninth overall) in 1:12:44, and KimRobinson, of Bloomington, whowas twenty-first (one hundred six-teenth overall) in 1:16:05.

“When I felt comfortable withour pace, even through 10K, and Iwas still in the top six to eight, Iwas getting a little worried that mybody was going to give up on meat any moment,” said Brown, whowas running only her second halfmarathon. “But luckily the fatiguedidn’t really set in until we crestedthe hill and I hit the 10 mile mark.That’s when the chase packstarted to pull away from me, and Ijust tried to stay composed andhold my position even though Iwas hurting pretty badly.”

“My finish wasn’t pretty, but Iwas glad I pushed through and fin-ished the race, because I worked sohard to get there,” she continued.

Minnesota’s bestAmong the Minnesotans who com-peted at the U.S. Half MarathonChampionship, there was a univer-sal feeling at Duluth and theGrandma’s festivities acting ashost: pride.

“This was the first time wehosted a men’s national title race,so it was especially rewarding tobring both races to the samecourse on the same day,” saidGustafson, who noted that Duluthhosted the women’s half marathonchampionship in 2003 and 2004,and hosted the women’s marathonchampionship in 1987, 1990, and1994. “It was a wonderful day forrunning in Minnesota.”

It was a feeling the runnersshared. “There is absolutely nobetter place in the country for theU.S. championships,” Gabrielsonsaid. “It’s the best experienceI’ve had in 10 years running them

as far as the organization andhospitality.”

Gabrielson also said it wasn’tjust an in-state bias.

“Some of my friends from outof states, guys like Jason Hart-mann, were just shocked at whatDuluth was,” he said. “They werethinking it’s this Midwest, sort ofindustrial town. Then they getthere, and it’s a completely differ-ent world than they thought.”

Brown said she felt similarwhen the Twin Cities Ten Milehosted the U.S. 10 mile champi-onships last fall.

“I noticed while I was racingthat people were cheering for‘Emily’ instead of ‘Brown,’ whichwas what was on my bib,” she

said. “So I knew that those cheer-ing for me must have really knownwho I was and that I was one ofthe Minnesota runners. Thatmeans a lot to me and I think wasa motivator for me to run thatmuch harder.”

And as Gabrielson says, Min-nesota is a great place for running,and Grandma’s is a great show-case for that running culture. “Ilove training in Minnesota,” hesaid. “A lot of great runners arehere, either just running to get inshape or running to compete at arelatively high level. We have somany trails and bike paths to ac-commodate that.”

MEETING MINUTES

33 JULY/AUGUST 2012

R U N N I N G I N S I G H T S

I live in the country. Itseems that every house Irun past is home to a dog.Hunting dogs, guard dogs,dogs that sit on the porch

and impersonate hunting dogsand guard dogs. They’re every-where, roaming free.

I’m sure there are ordinancesabout such things, even in myrural area. I called our local policechief once to report a particularlyfrightening encounter. “Mr. John-son’s dog threatened to take ahunk out of my thigh,” I said. Heresponded vocally that he’d surelyhave a talk with Mr. Johnson, buthis look said, “If you weren’t run-ning down the street like a felonthe dog wouldn’t chase you.”

Now, there are certain inalien-able, undeniable facts in this life.The sun will rise in the east eachmorning. The moment I fix one faxmachine or printer at work anotherone will start acting up. All kidswant to see their names in the boxscore. And all dogs want to run.

Many of these dogs’ owners arenot runners. I pass by those run-ner-free houses and their dogschase me.

A select few track me down,barking furiously in a manner thatsays, “I’m going to drag you down,tear the meat from your bones,slash at your throat and watch theblood drain from your body whilehowling at the moon, calling all myfriends to join me in the feast!”

They’re not easy to dissuade.Some do it with a bark and a

demeanor that says, “Me! Me! Iwant to come! Let me come!”

“No, no!” I tell them. “Go home!Tell Mom and Dad you want to run.You can’t run with me.” That usu-ally sends them on their way.

I met a particularly determinedfour-footed athlete that was wor-thy of an exception. To him I couldnot say, “No.”

The day we met, he ran rightdown the middle of the road. I wasafraid he’d surely get one of uskilled. A car would hit him or hit

me trying to avoid him. As themiles went by, I started to worrythat he wouldn’t find his wayhome. I stopped and faced him,pointing in the direction fromwhich he had come, saying firmly,“Go home!” He turned and pre-tended to retreat, but once Istarted running again, he fell backin step.

After attempting to shoo himabout 10 times, he appeared togive up. Off into a stand of treeshe vanished, and I continued onmy way thinking, “Whew! Free atlast!” Suddenly he appeared outof the trees. He trotted up with aBurger King Whopper box that hecarried carefully and dropped atmy feet.

Well, that was it. I’d beengifted. I couldn’t say no. I insistedhe run in the ditch, and he obedi-ently did exactly as he was told.He ran two miles out and twomiles back. He turned down hisroad at the proper time. Gave me awag with his tail saying a friendly“goodbye” and that was it, for thatday. He joined me a few moretimes before we moved. He nevermade a sound, but for the “click,click” of his nails on pavement.One of the best running partners Iever had. I hope he finds another.

Trot on, runner dog, trot on.
