PRESI DENTS COLUMN - LEE SAROKEN
It's hard to believe that two years have passed since I became the President of
Taconic, It has been an incredible term for me and I hope all of you realize how many
things have changed and how many things have remained the same. Our membership
has grown 15% in the last two years. This might be because of our www.runner.org
website which Greg Diamond has spent endless hours initiating and keeping current.
We have a newsletter, Taconic Running Life, that is one of the most professionally
done running club publications in the country due to the hours put into the project by
Katy Quinn and Tina Cullen. The total number of participants in TRRC races are on
the rise after a number of years of at or declining turnouts. All the race directors:
Gerald Radlauer, Barbara Brittan, Jack Brennan, Owen McCrudden, Tony Galfano,
Ed McLaughlin, Nancy Young, Greg Diamond, Bill Foley, Larry Lenahan, Scott
Abercrombie, Deb Kenney, Fred Reger, Christine Reger, John Hallinan, Gene
Cadman, Ken Martin. Steve Calidonna, and Pete Meisler put their hearts and souls into our events. That's what makes
them happen. TRRC has members that we can depend upon. Ken Martin gives up much of his precious spare time to
represent TRRC at MAC and took the bull by the horns and put together a men's open team that competed in both the
NYRRC and the MAC Grand Prix series. His efforts provided the answer to the nay-sayers who thought that TRRC was
just an OLD TEAM that couldn't put together an under-40 team that was competitive. We did it!Jack Magrone is always
there to organize registration with Joanna Nash. The nish line always seems to appear and then disappear after each
race. Rich Nash and Joe Porcaro just always seem to be there. Eileen Davis shows up at the post race refreshment area
and gets all the runners re-Iueled and happy. Of course there are all the volunteers that come race after race and help in
all the capacities that we need. Thank you all for being there. If you didn't show up at these events they would not have
happened. Thanks to Bob Daubenbis and Joanne Bertram for making sure we all had water on Saturday mornings. Thanks
to Vincent Juiliano for making sure we had food and a place to have our meetings. Thanks to Christine Reger and Margie
Jeraci for the dinner dance that everyone waits till the last minute to RSVP and then we all have a ball.Thanks to Doug
Miller tor making us run a little harder and a little faster. It's always a little tricky to mention names and thank people on
an individual basis because I will probably leave someone out. But. I will thank all the members of Taconic, new and old for
the best two years. I do have to thank some people from the bottom of my heart for all the time, wisdom and support you
have given me personally. Ed McLaughlin. Greg Diamond, Nancy Young, Rich Adamski, Debi Kenney, Fred & Chris
Reger, Scot Abercrombie, Rich & Joanna Nash and Carol Hansen. You are the greatest group around. Thank you. So in a
nal thanks to all Thanks for the positive, thanks for the opinions and the controversy. I made my decisions for what I
felt were the right reasons. Thanks for the ride. Lee

Pr esi dent Leaves Of ce a Wi nner !
By Tina Cullen
Running became a hobby soon after college. Many hours were spent running along the roads at FDR Park. I had
heard of the laconic Road Runners Club from working the last ten summers at the park. I had assumed that you had to be a
fast, long distance runner to be involved with the club. I would nd out how wrong I was after I decided to run my rst laconic
race, "Mudders and Grunters,"
I didn't know anything about the race except that It was an off-road, ve mile course held at FDR. Being quite
familiar with the dirt roads at the park, I expected a relatively "normal" ve mile trail run. When I showed up that freezing
morning in the month of March I should have known that this wasn't going to be a typical race. Everyone was dressed in old
clothes, sneakers (some wore cleats!), and hiking boots. Some even had electric tape wrapped around their pants! 1 had a
feeling my new Nike Air Max sneakers were not going remain bright white.
The race started and so did the chaos. Before I knew it I was knee deep in mud, crawling under branches, pulling
thorns out of my hair, and picking my body off of the cold ground. I couldn't believe this was a legitimate race. Finishing
seemed impossible. The nal part of the course involved crossing a stream about three feet deep (keep in mind the editor is
only about 5'+). I was just about to give up when one of the few women in the race generously offered to pull me through the
deluge and up the last hill of the course. Together we nished the race and I was thrilled to have survived my personal "Eco
Challenge."
However, I was more impressed with this woman's generosity and camaraderie she provided to help me get through
this race. It wasn't until about an hour later (and a change of clothes donated by other female members of the club) that I
realized my new friend was the President of Taconic Road Runners Club, Lee Saroken,
When I discovered Lee was President of the club I had heard so much about, I knew this was an organization I
wanted to become part of. She is a person who gives over 100% of herself to the organization. Lee has been a great
motivator and leader. There hasn't been a race, a meeting, an event, or any kind of outing where Lee has been there to help
us out. Like many of us, she has a job and a family. In addition to these responsibilities, she has managed to provide
leadership to a club that is growing and changing everyday.
As a runner turning 50 this year. Lee was hoping to enjoy some success in her new age group. She is an excellent
runner, but her tireless efforts as president of TRRC made it impossible for her to compete at the level she could have. It was
disappointing to her, but a sacrice she made without any whimper for a club she loves. Her efforts on behalf of TRRC have
been recognized by other organizations and runners. Lee Saroken brings humor, camaraderie, and knowledge to Taconic
which has enhanced our reputation as a club in the Tri-State area. These qualities have encouraged other runners, like
myself, to join the club and get involved.
Over the last two years of Lee Saroken's term as President, membership for the Taconic Road Runners Club has
increased 15%. It is probably unfair to say that Lee is the direct cause for this increase, but her neverending efforts to
promote the club to all runners has made an enormous impact. The club has improved in many ways and we've all made new
friends in the Taconic organization during her term as President. Thanks for a great job Lee!

The 5K Tr ai l Race At Teat own
By Scott Abercrombie
This year's Teatown Lake Reservation trail run, held on September \ was not the usual low key event it has been in the past. Participa
tion increased by a full one third! One hundred ve runners negotiated the scenic route along the Teatown Lake and through the woods.
Although a relatively at, course it provided excellent cross country running along strenuous terrain of narrow trails, rocks, tree roots, logs
and ruts. Great stuff! Although I like to play in trafc as much as any dedicated road runner there is nothing as much fun as trail running.
Once you get used to the footing you realize that dirt is much more forgiving to the body than running on pavement. Nature also is much
more appealing to the eye as well. On the trails the turns and elevation changes haven't been plowed out, terrain features and trees are
rapidly passed, and the result can be an exhilarating feeling of running very fast.
The Double Arch Trail Run held earlier this year along the aqueduct in Ossining and this race were combined as a cross country series for
a free pair of running shoes donated by Bob's Army & Navy store on 159 Main St. Ossining. The winners were Scott Mosenthal and Joy
Jawor owski .
The Teatown Trail Race is a fund raiser for Teatown, and after you subtract the cost of food, beverage, shirts, awards and other incidental
costs from the entry fees collected the money is all spent. Therefore, we are most grateful to our sponsorship for making a signicant
contribution to Teatown possible. There was Club Fit, represented by Gllen McCarthy, who is one of the better marathon runners on our
master's team, Salerno Chrysler Plymouth Dodge of Yorktown, which also contributed to the Columbus Day Children's Race, my favorite
store Yorktown Beer & Soda, Yorktown Pizza & Pasta, which is another favorite and well frequented place, Yorktown Tire & Auto Care,
which has contributed to so many local causes, Midway Hardware in Yorktown owned by Taconic's Steve Levine, and nally Dn Peter
Roppolo, another runner, from The Roppolo Family Chiropractic Center in Briarcliff Manor.
Co-director, Debra Kenney, and I are also most appreciative of all the volunteers who gave up a beautiful Saturday morning to help out.
There was Pierce Brennan, Josh Knight, Lee Saroken, Glen McCarthy, Ed McLaughlin, Rich & Joanna Nash, Joe Porcaro, Fred & Christine
Reger, Marci Smith and Gary Steinel.

On Saturday October 3rd, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Taconic Road Runners Club members, once again, supplied
the volunteers for the Teatown Parking at the IBM lot on Route 134 in Yorktown for the Teatown Fair. The following
members donated part or all of their day at this event:
Bob Davis, Joe Porcaro, Vinny JuHano, Jack Magrone, Marci Smith,
Rudi Einhorn, Pierce Brennan, and yours truly.
Volunteers were treated to a party at the Carriage House after the days activities. The days activities resulted in a prot
of $20,000.
Thanks to all the volunteers.

The Columbus Day Races For Children
By Scott Abercrombie
On Monday October 12"' we held the thirteenth annual running races for elementary school children in Depew Park, Peekskill. Four
hundrend ninety-ve children ran! The mechanics of the races are simple. All races are one-quarter mile. We begin by assembling all the
rst grade boys on the eld and dividing them into heats of about 16 runners. Once they have raced then the rst grade girls are brought
onto the eld, and the process is repeated until all 6 grades have nished. The entire event takes two and one half hours.
There were some exceptional performances this year. Fourth grader Chia Hudson, who we frequently see on the Yorktown track training
with her sisters and father, ran the quarter mile in 77 seconds! Fifth grader Andrea Nash, who we know has natural speed in her blood, ran
a second faster. Both girls beat their male counterparts! The fastest time was a 73 second quarter by sixth grader Mario DeSilva.
Every child received a ribbon at registration, which they like to pin on their shirts. The rst third of the nishers in every heat were
awarded medals. Also, the children represent their schools for team trophies. In every heat 5 point are awarded for rst, 3 for second and
1 for third. This year we had 4 trophies for the public elementary schools and one trophy for the rst parochial/private school. The winners,
in order, were Van Court from the Lakeland district, Woodside from Peekskill, Thomas Jefferson from Lakeland and Lincoln-Titus from
Lakeland. The rst parochial school was Saint Augustine's from Ossining.
With this event we raised money for the Peekskill Ambulance Corps and the Matthew Moore Fund. Matt Moore was a physical
education instructor in Peekskill who helped me set up the rst children's race held in May of 1985. Subsequently he was badly hurt in an
accident playing rugby.
The entry fee has been nominal at $2 for the rst child and only $1 for additional siblings. Without sponsorship we could only cover the
cost of awards. We were very fortuate to secure funding from many local businesses. This year Salerno Chrysler Plymouth Dodge on Rt.
202 in Yorktown provided a check for this race and the Teatown Trail Run! Taconic member Marty DiCola of Peekskill Paint and Hardware
on Main Street in Peekskill helped us out. My dentist, Dr, Ronald Worth on Rt.202 in Cortland Manor, was very pleased to participate. Also
generous were Jeremiah's Restaurant on Welcher Ave. in Peekskill, Reliance Auto Body on Washington St. in Peekskill, American Cycle &
Tire on 9A in Montrose, Heroes Delicatessen on Rt. 6 in Lake Mohegan and nally there was a little money left in the Peekskill/Cortlandt
Running Fund for the Race.
John Hallinan co-directs the race, and we received lots ot help on race day. The volunteers were great. We had my wife Debra Kenney
and son Tyler, Joanne Bertram, her husband Bill and daughter Erin, Don Ettinger, Tony Galfano, Leo Gormley, Mike Cosset, Ken Martin,
Pete Meisler. the Nash family, Joe Porcaro, Fred & Christine Reger. and Gary Struve.

Piriformis Syndrome
A Real Pai n i n t he But t
by Dr. Tim Maggs
September 1998
If you've ever felt pain in the hip, pain in
the center of the butt or pain down the
back of the leg, you likely are suffering,
at least partially, with piriformis syndrome. The piriformis is a
muscle which runs from your sacrum (mid-line base of spine)
to the outer hip bone (trochanter). This muscle truly works
overtime on anyone who runs at all. The muscles in and around
the gluteal region help with three areas; 1) rotation of the hip
and leg; 2) balance while one foot is off the ground and 3)
stability for the pelvic region. Needless to say, all of these
characteristics are highly needed by runners. Conclusion
the piriformis muscle is pretty important for all of us.
Injuries to the Piriformis
This muscle is a prime candidate for repetitive motion injury
(RMI). RMI occurs when a muscle is asked to perform be
yond it's level of capability, not given enough time to recover,
and asked to perform again. The typical response from a
muscle in this situation is to tighten, which is a defensive re
sponse of the muscle. This tightness, however, manifests it
self in several ways to a runner.
The rst symptom suggesting piriformis syndrome would be
pain in and around the outer hip bone. The tightness of
the muscle produces increased tension between the tendon
and the bone which produces either direct discomfort and pain
or an increased tension in the joint producing a bursitis. Again,
a bursitis is an inammation of the uid lled sac in a joint
caused by an elevation of stress and tension within that joint.
The second symptom suggesting piriformis syndrome would
be pain directly in the center of the buttocks. Although
this is not as common as the other two symtpoms, this pain can
be elicited with direct compression over the belly of the but
tocks area, A tight muscle is a sore muscle upon compression
due t o a r educed bl ood How t o t hat muscl e.
The third symptom suggesting piriformis syndrome would be
a sciatic neuralgia, or pain from the buttocks down the back
of the leg and sometimes into different portions of the lower
leg. The sciatic nerve runs right through the belly of the piri
formis muscle and if the piriformis muscle contracts from be
ing overused, the sciatic nerve now becomes strangled, pro
ducing pain, tingling and numbness.
Simple Physiology
Any muscle repetitively used needs to have an opportunity to
recover. This recovery can either be on Nature's clock, or
can be facilitated and sped up with proper knowledge and treat-
14
ment. Since the muscle is tightening due to overuse, contin
ued use will only make it worse. This injured muscle needs
to relax and have increased blood ow encouraged to it for
more rapid healing. This tightness that exists also reduces
the normal blood ow going to the muscle reducing the speed
with which the muscle can recover. To encourage fresh,
oxygen-rich blood to the muscle is the most powerful means
of getting the muscle to begin to relax and function normally.
Multiple massages per day to this area is greatly encour
aged.
The next step in this "recovery" process is to use a tennis
ball under the butt and hip area. While sitting down on the
oor, roll away from the side of involvement and place a
tennis ball just inside the outer hip bone under the butt area.
As you begin to allow your weight onto the tennis ball, note
areas of increased pain and soreness. Trigger points will tend
to accumulate in a repetitively used muscle, and until these
toxins are manually broken up and eliminated, the muscle
will have an articial ceiling with regard to exibility poten
tial and recovery potential. So, if it's sore and hurts while
your sitting on it, you're doing a good job. Let the ball work
under each spot for 15-20 seconds before moving it to an
other area. Once you've been on the ball for 4-5 minutes,
now put the ankle of the involved leg over the knee of the
non-involved leg (crossing your legs). Now place the tennis
ball just inside the outer hip bone again and work the tendon
of the piriformis muscle. While this pain is typically excruci
ating and takes some time to effectively reduce, the benets
here are huge. Be patient, be consistent and good things will
happen.
A d d i t i o n a l Tr e a t me n t s
Due to the fact that the sciatic neuralgia and the hip bursitis
or tendonitis are both inammatory in nature, ice, or cryo
therapy, over the involved area 15-20 minutes at a time will
be benecial. This should be done multiple times per day.
Stretching of the hip muscles should not be done until the
acute pain is gone. At that point in time, begin with gentle
stretching, such as the cross-legged stretch while pulling up
on the knee. The muscle should have increased exibility
before an active return to running.
Finally, Tm always discouraging the use of pharmaceutical
anti-inammatories. Not only do they greatly aggravate the
intestines, but they also suggest an articial wellness that
can lead to bigger problems. Proteolytic enzymes, such as
bromelain, are both natural and extremely benecial with no
s i de ef f ec t s .
Until next time, remember, they can't throw dirt on you if
you're moving, so keep on running.

the URGE will get you there
by Dave Pacchiana
I got the urge while watching Josiah Thugwane win the gold at the '96 Games in Atlanta. He looked like he was
having fun and I decided right then that I wanted to give it a try. In 1987,Iquita 14-year smoking habit. During that period
I was also a bar-closing party animal. In the early 80's, I battled a weight problem. That was 53 lbs. ago.
Thugwane may have been having fun on that day, but 1 am sure that was not always the case. There is always a lot of pain,
sacrice and suffering that comes with achieving lofty goals. Perhaps the best feeling of all is experiencing the struggle,
creating self-discipline and ultimately, the reward of self-fulllment.
After my rst seven months of solo training, the goal of running a marathon did not seem possible. Then a friend recom
mended Taconic, and the runs from the Pump House began. I was welcomed into the group and it was now my job to put in
t h e e f f o r t .
I failed in my rst attempt at Atlantic City in October of 1997. Knee pain stopped me at mile 18. However, back at the Pump
House I received nothing but encouragement. The decision was easy to try again. More injuries slowed my progress in the
rst part of the year but I started getting stronger by mid-spring. A summer lled with long runs set the stage for my second
attempt. With my wife being due to give birth in November and other club members heading to Chicago, both timing and
companionship directed me to the Windy City.
Arriving the evening before the race, I became overwhelmed with excitement as I entered the Expo to pick up my number. It
was thrilling to be among thousands of other runners all there for the same purpose. The excitement continued at the pasta
dinner where I sat with fellow Taconics, Greg, Nancy, Ed, Lee and Tina. The atmosphere was electrifying.
As the race began I hoped to break 4 hours. At mile 20 I
thought I would make it, but by mile 22 there was pain, by mile
24, agony. It was difcult to determine what hurt the most, the
pain in my left knee, the cramp in my right calf or the stitch on
the right side of my stomach. I set an outside goal of 4:20 and
paced myself to break it. At this point, it was the crowd and
the other runners who kept me moving toward the nish line.
As I nished the last quarter mile, the suffering disappeared as
the enormous crowd cheered us home. They understood all of
the preparation that each of us had put into that day. Upon
nishing (4:18:19), my sense of accomplishment overrode the
queasy attacks of nausea.
The continuing support of the Club motivated and inspired me
to achieve my goal. Special thanks to Nancy Young and Gia
Boulos for pulling me along on those 20-milers, Greg Diamond
for providing invaluable advice on diet and training patterns,
to the guy at mile 25 who screamed at the top of his lungs that
I was "totally awesome" and that I "could do if, and most of
all to Debbie for being my biggest fan and supporter.
Now I have "the urge'' to break 4 hours. See you at the
Pump House.

Your Fi rst Tri at hl on
By Robert Walters
TransitionTimes.com Triathlon Magazine
So you are a runner and you are happy just
running. You get your short runs in at the
park, a track workout with Doug, and a long
run at the pump house. Why in the world
would you want to do a triathlon? Why, because they are three
times more addicting than running.
Triathlons come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Sprint triathlons
generally include a quarter to half mile swim, a 10-15 mile bike and a
5k run. Olympic distance is a I.5k swim, 40k bike and a 10k run.
Ironman distance is a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and a marathon.
Speaking about Ironman Triathlons. Congratulations to Chuck Creel
who just completed back-to-back Ironmans. He rst did the Cana
dian Ironman in late August where he qualied to race in Hawaii in
early October. He fmished both races well and hopefully is taking it
easy as this season comes to a close.
Below I have put together a list of tips to get you started for your
rst tri athl on next season.
General Tips
You are not doing the Ironman so don't panic about the race.
Talk some friends into doing the race with you. That way you
have a support group throughout the year,
Pick a local sprint distance race to set as your goal,
Start by including a swim and bike ride into your workout sched
ule, They are both excellent cross-training options to comple
ment your running,
Work your way up to the distances in the race and then work
towards doubling those distances. This way you will build up
the condence needed on race day. Try to do at least two
swim and two bike workouts a week as well as your running.
Try some dual workout days. First do one workout in the
morning and one in the evening. Then try mini biathlons. Do
a swim workout followed immediately by a bike ride. Or as
soon as you get off your bike go right into a run ranging from
1 mile up to the race distance.
If swimming definitely isn't your thing then try out a biathlon
which includes running and cycling.
Swim Training
Find a pair of swim goggles that fit your face and are comfort
able. Make sure to try them on before you buy them.
Find a pool that is at least 20 yards long to train in. There are
several clubs and towns that have large enough pools in the
a r e a .
If you can't find a pool, do a race that is late in the season so
that you can train in a local lake during the summer,
Start out by setting easy goals for yourself. Such as just doing
10 laps the rst time you go. Increase it by ten laps every week
until you work yourself up to the race distance. For most run
ners just surviving the swim part of a triathlon is good enough.
You will nd in your rst day of swimming that after your rst
lap you are gasping for air and want to get out. Stick with it, you
16
will be swimming like a sh in no time.
Don't borrow a surfers wetsuit. They will slow you down. You
are better off without one. Many companies manufacture
wetsuits designed for triathletes. Quintana Roo and Ironman
Wetsuits are on the high end while Performance makes a less
expensive but good wetsuit.
If freestyle is not your thing and leaves you gasping for air then
swim breaststroke. There is no rule on how you have to swim,
just a rule of nishing. Take your time.
If you are uncomfortable about swimming with one hundred
others, then step to the back of your heat and let everyone else
ght for the top spot. (You'll gel them back in the run anyhow)
Bike Training
Any bike will do for your first triathlon. You are not out there to
win so even a mountain bike will do just ne.
The North County Trailway is a safe place to start cycling. It is
less crowded earlier in the morning and on weekdays.
Try short distances at first. (5-10 miles) Work your way up to
20-25 miles and even more as you feel comfortable. You will
begin to realize, as in long runs, that a 40-50 mile bike ride is not
out of reach.
Make sure to pace yourself during the bike portion of the race.
The run portion of the race is where you should do the best
given your background.
Always wear a certified helmet. You can't race without one, but
it is always worth mentioning.
Running
I don't have much to say here since you are all runners,
You will most likely experience a feeling going into the run that
I can't even explain. Prepare for this by running a mile after
your longer bike rides.
The run is your strong event, so pace yourself during the swim
and bike to prepare for it.
Make up time and enjoy passing all the fast swimmers and
b i k e r s .
I generally run 30 seconds slower per mile than in just an ordi
nary road race. Your times will vary according to skill and
conditioning.
Finish strong. You will be surprised on how much of a kick you
have at the end of the race.
As with any race make sure to hydrate and replace your body's
nutrients. Most races offer food and fruit at the end. There are
several useful resources on the internet about triathlons including
Transition Times.com Triathlon Magazine, www.transitiontimes.com
(shameless plug). New York Triathlon Club www.nytc.org,
Triathlantic Association, www.triath.com, and of course there is the
Taconic Road Runners Club Run-Swim biathlon in August.

Should you care about your lactate level?
by Greg Diamond
Athletes and their coaches have used many measures of tness and
improvement over the years. If you were lucky enough to be at the
elite level, you could have gone to a lab and had your V02 Max
measured, in addition to a group of other pertinent values. For most
of us, until a reliable heart rate monitor became available we could
only monitor how we felt, our perceived exertion, our breathing.
This is a time honored method and still the favorite of many coaches.
The heart rate monitor allowed us to more accurately set paces to
train at, compare one workout with another and monitor our im
provement over time. But it suffers from several problems such a
weather factors and hydration level inuences. Now, perhaps the
most important lab value, the blood lactate level, can be measured
during a workout at a very reasonable price.
One of the primary processes of activity is the production of energy
from glycogen stores in the muscles and glucose in the blood. Pyru
vate is formed from the breakdown of glycogen. Depending on a
number of factors, pyruvate is either used to produce energy or
breaks down into lactic acid. When one is exercising at a low level,
pyruvate mainly converts to energy, but at higher levels, more and
more lactate is produced. The lactate itself is not much of a problem,
but the hydrogen atom that goes with it causes function to deterio
rate. Training appropriately causes the body to produce less lactate
and to be able to clear more of it, both leading to reduced levels of
lactate at a particular level of activity. Lactate is always being pro
duced, but at lower levels of activity, like an easy run, it can be
cleared easily and does not build up. There is a level of activity
above which lactate can't be cleared as fast as it is produced and
this level has been given many names. Above this lactate threshold,
lactate begins to build up in the blood. This is a critical level and
training to raise this level is possibly the most important factor in
improvement in endurance events.
There are now two methods available to the average runner to mea
sure lactate levels at home. Binax, a biotechnology company based
in Portland, Maine, has developed a method of testing lactate in a
portable fashion. I bought and used their kit recently and found the
experience to be easy and very informative. For $29.99 they will
send you a kit that includes fairly easy to understand instructions.
lancets to prick your ngers for blood (no pain no gain!-you get
bandaids), gauze, a 5 sample testing strip and a prestamped return
envelope to send the test to the lab. They return a report via email
and snail mail very promptly. The instructions lay out a variety of
ways to do the test. Accusport is a portable lactate analyzer that is
available to buy for about $500 from a local rm that will test an
unlimited number of lactate levels and give you results within 60
seconds. Once you have purchased the unit, you need only to
purchase test strips (and lancets, bandaids, etc, which are low cost),
which you use once per test. It appears that the kit is useful for
those testing themselves once in a while. The more expensive unit
woul d be useful for coaches.
There are various ways to use lactate testing. It's primary purposes
are to predict proper training paces to enable you to get the most
improvement without overtraining and to predict marathon pacing
to avoid the number one error in marathoning: going out too fast.
After warming up for 10-15 minutes with easy running, you do a mile
at about your regular long run training pace, then check the lactate.
Rest for 2-3 minutes (necessary anyway to do the testing), then run
another mile. In all ve miles will be run ranging down to your 5K
pace or faster. When the lactate levels are plotted the lactate thresh
old can be estimated and from there pacing for training and racing
predicted.
A great discussion of the whole science of lactate physiology and
training is at www.lactate.com. These folks are marketers for a por
table lactate analyzer, the Accusport, costing under $500. You can
also get the book. The Blood Lactate Response to Exercise by Arthur
Wel t man avai l abl e f rom Human Ki net i cs.
Lactate testing is this generation's heart rate monitor and will pro
vide serious athletes with the newest best way to monitor training
than ever before. Of course, among coaches, there are differences of
opinion about its usefulness: some believing it is the cornerstone to
a training regimen, like the Ironman world record holder's coach, Jan
Olbrecht. And others believe it is just another thing to know. Where
it will fall in the future is anyone's guess.

The Open Team Fights On
By Ken Martin
When last the open team was heard from, they were locked in a dogght for second in the MAC Grand Prix standings. Despite
an enormously successful summer, the close battle continues with four races remaining. During the summer and into the early fall, the
Men's Open team experienced a roller coaster ride throughout ve different races.
The summer began quietly with a reasonable performance at the Bronx Half Marathon. While the team nished only eighth, tiie
performance was strong enough to give the team an 18-point lead over the Bellmore Striders with POBRRC and Runner's Edge in close
pursuit. The open team owes this largely to the efforts of two master's runners: Steve Calidonna (1:15.35) and Greg Diamond (1:17.33).
They were followed closely by Tom Piazza (1:17.59) Also helping the open team that day were Seth Denenberg (1:23.24), Ken Martin
(1:22.30), Gerry Radlauer(1:26.36), Nathan Treadwell (1:38.25) and Marc Diamond (1:38:41).
Not in our Backyard
The next week the open team demolished all comers at the Jan Peek lOK. Scott Brown, a newcomer to the team, left the eld way
behind en route to his second Jan Peek victory clocking a 32:39 on that difcult course. In thu*d was last year's winner, Alonzo Rendon(34:03),
with Tom Piazza close behind in fth (35:34). Again the team was assisted by an outstanding effort from Steve Calidonna(35:34) nishing
sixth. Rounding out the scoring was Mauricio Venegas in eighth(35:51). John Albanese also posted a ne performance nishing tenth in
37:51. Obviously the team score was a "no contest".
Competing in its third race in two weeks, the open team went to Roosevelt Island and captured fth delivering points which have
improved the team s fortunes as September unfolded. Despite competing in miserable conditions, strong performances were turned in Greg
Diamond, Alonzo Rendon, Gerry Radlauer and Marc Diamond allowing the team to gain some much needed points. Alonzo had now
climbed into fth overall in the individual standings.
Best Ever
One week later, at the Marathon Tune-Up in Central Park, the team announced its presence with authority. In a race of over 3000
athletes, Taconic placed ve in the top 18 and seven in the top 37. We did it with style and we did it running as a team. Scott Brown and
Mike Slinskey worked in tandem to capture fth and seventh with times of 1:44.35 and 1:46.09. Also running together for much of the race
were Phil Richey( 13"'-1:50.27), Steve Calidonna( 15"" -1:50.58), and Alonzo Rendon( 1S*** -1:51.18). Rounding out this awesome performance
were Mauricio Venegas(33"' -1:56.30) and Greg Diamond(37"' -1:57.12). These outstanding efforts gave them a team win over such
powerhouses as Warren Street, West Side and Westchester. (Taconic 24, West Side 31 and Warren Street 57). This race gave Taconic an
enormous lead over the third place team and even put the open team in striking distance of Warren Street.
The Relay
In September the open team ran the Ocean to Round relay for the fu-st time. They surprised many and learned a lot. Steve
Calidonna led off bringing the team through the rst leg in
sixth. Then Mike Slinsky ran an amazing leg placing the
team in rst. People are still talking about this incredible
performance. Scott Abercrombie was able to keep the team
in the hunt and by the end of Alonzo Rendon's strong
effort it was apparent that the team would not go away;
much to Warren Street's chagrin. Scott Brown ran the fth
leg. Taking the stick 3 minutes behind, he ran a monster
leg handing off with a lead. Countless people want to
know who was that guy on the fth leg. Doug Miller then
took the stick and ran well handing off in second. Sean
Lockhart, a new Taconic addition, ran a great race and
then Ken Martin rounded out the team's effort. Despite
the outstanding efforts, the team was disqualied for go
ing off the course at one point. Still, Taconic's effort has
gained them tremendous respect among all of the distance
c l ubs .
Now with two months left Taconic is locked in a
tight race with Bellmore, POBRRC and Runner's Edge. We
are a few points behind and need to come through in the
clutch at races on November 21, November 28 and Decem
ber 19. If you want to help the open team in its struggle
please contact Ken Martin(open captain).

Women^s Team Report
By Debra Kenney
On Sunday, September 20th, the TRRC women's running teams traveled to Staten Island to compete in the Staten Island Half-
Marathon. This half-marathon is part of the New York Road Runners Grand Prix Series. What was supposed to be a race,
turned out to be more like a journey on a 90 degree day with high humidity. Women who ran (persevered) for TRRC were Debra
Kenney 1:45:00, Lee Saroken 1:49:10, Carol Hansen 1:50:09, Nancy Young 1:50:17 and Adrienne Thompson 2:05:23.
For the rst time ever, the Taconic Road Runners elded a Masters Womens Team to compete in Long Island's 50 mile Ocean
to Sound Relay Race sponsored by Plainview Old Bethpage Road Runners Club on September 27th. The relay consists of
eight legs of a little over 6 miles each and I am thrilled to tell you that we came In third place with a team time of 6:29:59! We
met at Rocky's Deli at 5:30 in the morning and headed out to Jones Beach where the race started on the boardwalk at 8:00 a.m.
There were a total of 137 teams with co-ed, masters, open, veterans and physically-challenged categories. It was each team's
responsibility to provide water and support for their runners. We had a great time making sure we each had enough water when
it was our turn to run and we were particularly good at lending vocal support. The spirit of friendship and support that prevailed
throughout the day was exceptional. It was indeed an honor to be the team captain of a womens masters team that consisted
of Nancy Young, Carol Hansen, Robin Maloney, Melanie Benvenue, Lee Saroken, Lucia Chapman, and Nancy Vasta. After the
race we hooked up with the TRRC men's masters, veterans and open teams to attend the post-relay party which had lots of
food, beer and even a band! It was a tired but happy bunch that arrived back at Rocky's Deli at 7:00 p.m.
There are some new women's team captains. Lee Saroken is now the Captain of the Women's Veterans Team and Maria
Calidonna is the Captain of the Women's Open Team. If anyone is interested in running with us, there are no qualications other
than you have to be a member of TRRC. If you are 39 or younger, call Maria at (914) 736-7607, if you are 40-49 call Debra
Kenney (914) 245-9629 and if you are 50 and above call Lee Saroken at (914) 244-8544. I look forward to seeing you out there
running with us!
