BMW GREENWICH CUP TRIATHLON, Greenwich, CT (July 29, 2001)

• Shelley Farmer, 1:16:30, 3rd place overall female
• Laura Miller, 1:28:15, 8th F40-49
• Jonathan Allen, 1:32:20
• Sandra Scibelli, 1:38:22, 69th overall, 24th age group

The most significant happening was that this was Sandra Scibelli's debut triathlon!  Ditto for Jonathan Allen (who's that?  we'll leave you to figure who this VIP is ...).  Shelley Farmer was 3rd female overall and 13th overall (including the men!).  Among the eyewitnesses were Jerome O'Shaughnessy (about to be bitten by the triathlon bug?) and Josh Friedman (already  hopelessly infected with the triathlon bug).

Live report from your team triathlon rep Ramon Bermo:

• Let's start by saying "GREAT RACE by Olivier!!" Our French triathlete put together what we must call The Perfect Race --- very good splits, looked great at all times, and looked even better after he finished and confirmed what he already knew --- that he has earned a qualifying slot for the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii.   For those in the triathlon world, you know what a 9:51 means, and especially on this very tough course.  For the less fortunate who are mere runners, you can compare this to a sub 2:30 marathon (minimally).  More amazing if you take in consideration that this was his Ironman debut.  Good luck on October 6 in Hawaii.
• Another person who will be taking a Hawaiian vacation is the "Papa" of triathlon.  Most of you know Mr. Papa as Mr. Galitsky, others as Ross.  He put together a very steady, very Ross-like performance, and his time of 10:40 is a 35 minute PR from his 1999 race.  If you ask him, he'll tell you that he would rather do a double or triple Iroman.  If you ask everybody else, they tell you that he looked very good at all times, and made it look too easy.
• Guillermo Rojas, another amazing performance !! This is his Ironman debut, and also his second triathlon of the season.  Our NYRRC employee did what he come to do, which is as he puts it, to 'finish without killing myself'.  If there were an award for best performance with the least amount of training, G'mo would have killed the competition !! He was very steady very within himself the whole race, I know !! I have the pleasure of running 21 miles with him, and I tell you, This guy can talk !!!
• I know that Jay Borok was not too happy with his performance, but how many of us would have even started the race, just weeks after hurting our back in a accident?  I think he put a very good performance considering the circumstances.  We all know that he could have done much better, and we'll know he'll do just that in 2002.
• David D'Adamo is another Ironman rookie.  I still have to figure out how a doctor can find time to train for an Ironman competition.  So if you runners think you have it rough, you may want to talk to David.  I did see David during the running portion and he was all business. He did what he came to do, and the question is "Will he come back ?"
• As for yours truly, two words, "Tough Day!" I would have drop out, but I promised a mother-to-be, a first-time parent and my new best friend Wells, that I'd cross the finish line, and that I did !! At least I can say that I had the pleasure of enjoying the company of my good friend G'mo for 21 miles, and I know that I was in the advance poster of the 2001 Lake Placid Ironman.  Many thanks to Shula Sarner and Isaya Okwiya for the cheering.  I will report that these two are closer and closer to crossing the red line to go over to the dark side of triathlon.  Before the event Shula was saying that she'll be doing a triathlon in a couple of years, while Isaya was giving himself 4 years.  After  the race, Shula can't wait to do her first, and Isaya moved up his triathlon debut to 2002.  Yes, people, triathlon is addictive !!!!

Addendum from Ross Galitsky:

• J.P. Cheuvront's hip flexor (pre-existing injury --- doubt from running!) flared up right on the swim, and it's a blessing that he was able to finish even the bike segment. What is a bigger blessing is that J.P. had enough good sense and maturity not to be swept away in the Ironman culture's "finish at any cost" mentality. He had crossed "that finish line" before in many Ironman distance races, and the ability to be active soon again was more important than just another finish.

Post-report report from your team NYRRC representative Guillermo Rojas:

• I'm not sure if you know this but Ramon Bermo had a hard crash on the bike during the Ironman.  Some other triathlete was having bike problem and collided accidentally with Ramon and forced him off the road.  Ramon flipped over his handlebar and landed on his side and hurting his knee.  This all happened around mile 60, so he rode another 62 miles and ran a full marathon on a hurt knee.  I ran next to him for 21 miles, and I knew that he was in a lot of pain.  I know many elite/pro athletes and I don't think any of them would have continued.  Ramon is one of the toughest people I know.  While his time was not what he wanted, but he finished on one leg ahead of 90% of the participants.

CORPORATE CHALLENGE (3.5 MILES), Central Park, NYC (July 25, 2001)

From Stuart Calderwood:

Some results from yesterday's 90-degree Corporate Challenge "fun" run:

• Stacy Creamer--4th Female overall, 1st master, 22:28
• Amy Sheeran--5th Female overall, 22:32
• Stuart Calderwood--7th Male overall, 1st master, 19:28
• Rich Hollander--22:35
• John Gleason--23:00, very pleased with his race while pontificating in O'Hurley's Pub in the aftermath

Sarah Gross, Maureen Elmaleh and Rick Shaver are also believed to have run this race, but they were not located amongst the 13,000 milling rehydrators afterward.  Enthusiastic spectators: Rob Zand, Frank Schneiger, Irene Jackson, Bola Awofeso, Toby Tanser, Mel Washington, and Philippe Elmaleh (on a bike, with Andre in a baby bike-seat).

VAIL HALF MARATHON, Vail, Colorado (July 22, 2001)

I spent six days in Colorado vacationing, taking a week off from running.  On my last day there I ran the Vail Half Marathon.  The course started at the bottom of a ski lift (7,000 ft) with the race gaining 3,000 feet during the run. The race temperature ranged from 80 to 55 because of the elevation gain. The first 4 miles was a steady incline, similar to running up Cat Hill for four miles. Then the course got worse. The next four miles was basically a hill climb. The elevation made people dizzy and drained.  All in all, a tough run. My time was 2:24:25. I placed about 113th out of 237 runners.  I'm very glad to be back running in the relatively flat roads of Central Park.

TAVERN ON THE GREEN BREAKFAST RUN, Central Park, NY (July 18, 2001)

Blair Boyer's annual report:

After running the speed workout last night, I didn't exactly expect to have fresh legs for today's run but who can turn down the once a year opportunity of walking into Tavern On The Green in running gear dripping of sweat and whatever else and asking which way to the bathroom and hearing "Right this way Sir"?  As for the race, I was able to see Toby Tanser for about 15 blocks until he got into the "elite" lane.

I did see someone challenge Toby in the first 200 meters but in the next glance Toby had about 30 yards on the guy.  I did hear Stacy Creamer cheering on her bike going down Harlem Hill as I was going up.  Audrey Kingsley was on the course cheering and at the finish line.  Audrey is saving herself for this Saturday's Run to Home Plate 5K.  She asked if I knew of any fast women that will be running I said I heard a rumor that Dr. Kim, Gordon, Zofia & Alexa were sharing a ride together.  After the race, I spoke with Gary Murcke, the owner of the Super Runner's shop, who said he was just coming back after taking 5 years off from being thrown from a horse.

As for the rest of the report, I will submit the below e-mail I received this morning from a world famous book editor.  "I understand from the workout report that you plan to file the report on the Breakfast Run.  In case you weren't in a position to see, the other CPTCers I saw were: Toby Tanser (obviously), Vincent Trinquesse, Patrick Cowden, Mary Rosado, Jesse Lansner and NYRRC Board of Directors candidate Alan Kipust (who ran the 3.4M).  Not sure which race Patrick and Mary were in, but they were running together -"

Technical note:  With this victory, Toby Tanser moves ahead of the rest of the team by a score of 15 to 14.
