BRRC VALENTINE'S DAY 5K, Brooklyn, NY (February 16, 2003)

CPTC Victory Again Snatched Away by Big-Money Interests
Brooklyn NY - February 16, 2003

Less than six months after their heartbreaking "loss" to the Hutchens ASICS running team in the Reach the Beach relay in New Hampshire, the plucky orange underdogs from Central Park have again been denied their rightful place on on the victory podium by the champions of corporate America.

Kevin Arlyck, a CPTC member who ran for the Orange Crush relay team on that fateful September weekend in New Hampshire, set out in the bitter cold this morning in hopes of bringing greater glory to the Orange. Though wind-chill temperatures hovered around the 0 degree mark at start time for today's Valentine's 5K Run, Arlyck bravely donned his orange singlet in hopes of adding an early-season notch to the CPTC victory list for 2003. He recognized that the cold would discourage many redoubtable local harriers, perhaps opening the door for a victory. A brief survey of the miniscule crowd at the start confirmed Arlyck's suspicions, as the usual Brooklyn-based opponents were nowhere to be seen. How right, and wrong, his aspirations would prove to be.

At the first mile mark, Arlyck was running comfortably in the lead, despite a blazing sub-5:00 downhill effort, with what sounded like one or two challengers sitting behind, letting him do all the work. Soon, however, Arlyck heard someone approach on his left, and looked over to see a runner he did not recognize pass him rather easily, apparently untroubled by the fast pace and weather conditions. Accelerating smoothly, the runner proceeded to drop Arlyck like a bad habit over the course of the next mile, and disappeared from view entirely as the runners climbed the "big hill" on the Prospect Park loop course. In fact, the only reason Arlyck caught another glimpse of his nemesis was when he stopped and started jogging in place at the Grand Army Plaza entrance, unsure of how to proceed. Ever the gracious competitor, Arlyck directed him with a orange-gloved wave, and the interloper quickly reestablished his gigantic lead.

After the race, the unknown opponent introduced himself as "Jerry" (an alias, perhaps), and asked if Arlyck had participated in the RTB relay.  Jerry explained that he was on the ASICS-sponsored team that had been mightily crushed by the Orange team that day, only to be awarded first place in the aftermath of the infamous Brownie incident. A triathlete and pro duathlete living and training in New Hampshire, he was visiting his girlfriend in New York and discovered the race via the Internet. Having underestimated the subway ride to Brooklyn, he arrived at the race literally as the horn sounded, and ran the race without a number. Despite the snafu, he was justly awarded the victory by the good people of the Brooklyn Road Runners Club, leaving Arlyck in second place with only the small consolation that Jerry is actually a very nice guy. The ASICS man assured Arlyck that they would be fielding another team for the RTB this fall, and would welcome a rematch with CPTC, having greatly enjoyed the competition in last year's race. Suffering doubly from the cold and disappointment, Arlyck winced and responded "We'll see."
