Central Park reservoir, December 14, 2003

Pre-Race

03joek101 Catherine Stone-Borkowski and Stacy Creamer, members of our masters women's team, turned out on this snowy morning to claim their championship in the final race of the year. While the team was comfortably ahead in points, they still needed to show today. This race was turned into a fun run because the snow made for some hazardous conditions on parts of the course. Catherine: "Good! Now that there is photographic evidence that I was here, I can rush home to New Jersey!"
03joek102 Long-distance travelers came back for this race from all over the world. The photographer came in from Hong Kong where they just had the coldest day of the year (59 degrees); Paul Stuart-Smith came in from England and so did Graeme Reid.
03joek103 Stuart Calderwood keeps his eyes protected.
03joek104 As Canadians, Lauren Eckhart and David Smith are distinctly unimpressed with this small amount of snowfall causing a points race to be turned into a fun run.
03joek105 If the two Canadians are unimpressed, what does that one Icelander, Toby Tanser, think?
03joek106 Running around the reservoir were Carol Tyler, Frank Schneiger and Norman Goluskin.
03joek107 Three runners with only three lucky duckies for company.
03joek108 Before Dan and Catherine Borkowski left, they made sure that they got a photo with their favorite NYRR official.
03joek109 Tony Ruiz and Kevin Arlyck. Tony: "Hi, you have no idea how much I missed you. [polite pause] By the way, can you be at the Armory on Tuesday to be a timer?" Yes, it was nice to feel wanted. Seriously, though, Tony said that things have gone well so far as he has four volunteer timers and he hopes that they will keep up the good work.
