NEW YORK CITY MARATHON                        November 6, 2005

Last year the women's race was the closest ever for the event and this year it was so for the men. Second place finisher, Hendrick Ramaala, who was first last year in 2:09:28, crashed to the ground at the finish line in almost a tie after making the mistake of looking back to see where Tergat was in the final sprint. Never look back ... especially if Paul Tergat is in the race! The women's winner was fifth last year and claimed a big victory for her small country of Latvia this time out and is now a national hero!
The weather was described as warm and sticky (temps 54 to 62-degrees/ humidity 97 to 77 percent) with fog shrouded bridges. Kevin led our small contingent this year through the finish line. He used to own a miniature golf course in the heart of this great city when he was a young lad starting out in the business world!

PACE 5KM                                                            November 12, 2005
Centro Ybor      Downtown Tampa, Florida

A good race with all the costly amenities of the high profile ones that draw tons of runners. Surprisingly, this event to benefit and heighten prostrate cancer research drew numbers more in line with a low key event. Even though fast times were plenty on this cool morning making for fun race conditions, there were no PR performances among our ranks on this certified course. Kris and Mike came the closest to theirs.
Christy was first Master and pleased with her first performance at the 5KM distance since March. David is back winning his age group three weeks after his marathon at Casino Niagra!
137 male and 111 female finishers.

SNEAKER STREAKER 5KM                             November 12, 2005
Paradise Lakes      Lutz, Florida

A bit nippy this year, this event lost a few of it's usual fast local male participants to the Pace Run in downtown Tampa. Alexa Gemma, the usual women's winner from South Daytona Beach claimed back her first place spot lost to a visitor from Wisconsin last year. Dan Niles has won it for the men ever since we have been reporting results. Our guy Chuck did not miss this event and enjoys it most every year.
The 46 male and 9 female finishers.

Mary Ann earned an entry into this race and a trip to Ibigawa, Japan, the sister city of St George, Utah for herself and her husband Bill. A nice reward for a fine performance at the St George Marathon last month. In her usual style, half way around the globe, Mary Ann won the Masters division!

XC 1/2 MARATHON                                          November 19, 2005
Alafia River Park       Lithia, Florida

The advertising said wonderful views and grassy trails. Jim says he missed the views because he had to watch the rough trail to keep from falling or turning an ankle.  
Walt got a little dirty on the run when he encountered a mud hole. Rather than jump the gooey mass he apparently decided to negotiate it horizontally. Thinking at first he would fly over, but realized he was in for a swim!
129 male and 108 female finishers.
The accompanying full marathon had 34 finishers with the male winner clocking 3:05:51 and the female winner with a 4:43:08.
Past members Dori Iten and Kathleen Wheeler participated.
There was also a 5KM with no one from Forerunners entered.

PAUL DEBRUYN 30KM & 15KM                    November 19, 2005
High Bridge Park       Ormond Beach, Florida    

A good day for the small group of team members despite hot, humid and windy weather conditions. In the 15KM; Karen PR'd by two minutes and fourteen seconds and finished third overall behind women nineteen and ten years younger than herself. If they had triple dipped awards, she would have won Masters by three minutes and 50 seconds and also her age group by seven minutes and forty nine seconds! Lenore won her age group by six minutes and ten seconds and was pleased with her pace.
In the 30KM; Somehow, Steve was listed in the official results as first in age group 25-29... odd since he will be 35 on November 23! Don was pleased with his will to keep pushing after short mileage the week before due to the trip to New York to bring his father-in-law to Florida for the winter.
107 male and 54 female finishers in the main race - 100 male and 114 female finishers in the fun run.

WING DING 5KM                                                November 24, 2005
Clearwater HS       Largo, Florida

A record 13,049 runners participated in all three of the events besting the previous record of 12,608 set in 2002. Since only the first 100 male and female runners are scored in this race, we may need your input for complete results. We got some of these times at our traditional tailgate breakfast where the day of feasting begins! Lot'sa running two or all three races easy with friends and family happened. Also, "push your friend 'til they puke" activity was reported and viewed at the finish line of both this and the 10KM longer races! Sue Fleshman walked this race three weeks after her shoulder surgery.
The 5KM, as usual, got the majority of that total at 7,457.
