Dick Barrett Trophy Winner – Sheldon Ah Sing
We had a large group who ran this morning with great conditions. Sheldon and Scott still continue to battle it out for the win, but Sheldon overtook Scott right before heading into the college. There were several PRs including 2 all time PRs Sheldon Ah Sing and Dwayne Spencer, plus 3 age group PRs Paul Taylor, Radha Nambula and Rich Hahn. Thanks to our timers, Carl Peterson, Dave Norlander, Willie Liu and Danny Moon who is back after his Hotel stays at Kaiser Hospital during the month of March.

Your editor spends 1-2 hours before a relay, preparing ratings for everyone. And, rarely do we have a close race. Today, a bunch of amateurs put together the three teams in a few minutes and they finished within 15 seconds of each other. I want the names of those handicappers so that I can put them in charge of putting teams together each week. They did a great job.

Dick Barrett Trophy Winner – Scott Bang
Becki Kriege reported on this race, stating that Sheldon and Scott had a good battle over the final 300 yards with Sheldon getting the win. However, Scott got the weekly trophy as he ran very well in his first race as a 50+ runner. Becki did mention that there were a few non-disclosed mishaps. So, if you notice any bogus times, let me know and I will correct them. And, Norry, if you claim that your grandmother states that you ran a sub-13 on this course, we will have to convene a meeting of the club committee to determine whether we should accept your claim. I’m still suspicious about that handicap recommendation that she allegedly wrote for you a few years ago.3/24/18 – Triangle – 4.76M

Another cold morning (39 degrees?) with broken clouds and occasional light showers. The Ah Sing team with great help from Rich Hahn finished first. Rich was rated at 26:30 but claimed that he could only run at 10:00-10:30 per mile pace. So, his rating was changed to 9:30 per mile pace and he then ran the workout at 8:47 per mile pace. Joseph Aubuchon and Sheldon Ah Sing had the two best averages at 2:43 and 2:45 per run. Kristina averaged 2:55 per run. All teams were rated to finish in 46:45. Don Packwood did a super job of recording all of the splits under difficult conditions. Danny Moon did not come to the workout with the clock because he is presently in bed. He had a cold or the flu, starting on Monday, that has transitioned into pneumonia.

Dick Barrett Trophy Winner – Roberto Palos
54-year-old Roberto became the first senior runner to win a Saturday road run (not including all courses days) since Norry won in March of last year as he pulled away from 52-year-old Dwayne Spencer 3½ miles into the run to win by about 200 meters. There were many good performances despite the 35-degree weather when we arrived at the college. Dwayne PRd by 56 seconds, John Huang Huang PRd by 87 seconds, and Bob Kemp PRd by 86 seconds. An age-group PR was run by Dino (15 seconds). This put him #12 on the all-time list. Other age-group PRs were run by Paul Taylor (80 seconds under his 60+ PR), Dave McIntyre (1 second under his 55+ best), and Neil Gelblum (157 seconds under his 65+ PR). Ken Camet missed his 55+ best by 1 second and Scott Graham also missed his age-group (65+) best by 1 second. We were not sure what time to give Neeraja. She was leading Don Packwood when she incorrectly took the Chester turnoff on Sobey while following a jogger not in the race (a runaway from the nearby old-folks home?). She then got a ride from Norry to get back on course. She claims that she covered 7.91M (Did this include the car ride?). Thanks to Danny Moon, Jim Bordoni, Rich Hahn, and Nikhita Saldi for helping at the finish line under the freezing conditions.

Dick Barrett Trophy Winner – Norry McAllister
Easy wins by Akito for the men and Kristina for the ladies. There were many highlights on this cold morning (40 degrees). Norry broke his 60+ PR by 28 seconds to move into 8th place on the all-time list for that age group. Norry credits his improvement and ability to train harder on his recent cortisone injection into his rear end. Paul Taylor improved his 60+ best by 17 seconds. Dino recorded the 13th best-ever time by a 60+ runner out of the 62 runners in that age category who have run the course. Kristina tied her 45+ best to remain in 2nd place on the women’s 45+ list, 24 seconds behind Sue Francis. Missy improved her 45+ best by 20 seconds. Scott Graham improved his 65+ PR by 56 seconds. John Huang PRd by 1 second. Bob Kemp missed his PR by a mere 2 seconds. Chris Blue bettered her 2017 best by 39 seconds and Heather Rohrer ran 12 seconds faster than she did in 2017. Your editor ran 8 minutes slower than his previous PW but was outgunned by Rich Hahn who added 9 minutes to his previous PW. Thanks to Carl Petersen, Willie Liu, and Jim Bordoni for helping at the finish line.

The Akito team started first, briefly gave up the lead at the end of the 7th leg, and then Akito spurted to a final leg of 3:21 to give his team a 200-meter win. The Akito team was greatly aided by an overly-generous rating by the handicapper as Dave had run this workout in 24:41 when we ran this relay on 10/28/17 but was rated at 27:30. All teams were rated to finish in 42:30. Slim Pickens ran with us in a club run for the first time in possibly a couple of years. Slim ran this workout in 13:36 back in November 2001. Sub-15 minute runners today included Akito at 13:42, Jorn Jensen at 14:22 and Sheldon Ah Sing at 14:52. Jim Bordoni has been very sick with the flu the past two weeks. He attempted to get the double flu shot for individuals who are 65+ but he was denied because he didn’t turn 65 until January 8. We had a great crew helping at the finish line – Jim, Nikki Saldi, and Carl Petersen. We would have had one more helper but Nandini Saldi, a high school sprinter, was put on a team at the last moment.
