Dick Barrett Trophy Winner – Mike Bordoni
Mike Bordoni took the early lead and held it all of the way to win by about 30 meters. There were many note-worthy performances behind Mike. Jorn ran his fastest time on this course since he ran 20:32 in February 2011. Brian Davis, Tom O’Connor, and Norry recorded the all-time #8, #9, and #10 60+ bests. Dino said that he would take it easy this morning but when fellow 60+ runner Paul Taylor came up on him, he shifted gears to the hard-running mode to hold off Paul. Paul did improve his 60+ best for the the 2nd time in a row. This time his improvement was 67 seconds. He also took a 59-second lead over Bob Kemp in the C division of the Cum Sat contest. Todd Hayes knocked 8 seconds off his 65+ PR. Dave McIntyre improved his 55+ PR by 45 seconds. Uyenthi Tran edged her 40+ best by over 8 minutes. Don Packwood improved his 75+ PR by 4 minutes. Nancy improved her 65+ best by 16 seconds but missed her all-time PR by 2 seconds. Jim Myers became the 22nd club 70+ member to complete the Farwell course but he also joined the 200% club in that he more than doubled his all-time PR of 21:00. Thanks to Chris Blue, Danny Moon, Jim Bordoni, and Rich Hahn for their help at the finish line.

Phantom Dick Barrett Trophy Winner
Norry sprinted away from Paul Taylor during the last 100 meters to score the win for his team. When interviewed after the race, Norry explained that he was pleased to be able to overcome the deficiencies of his teammates with his great performance this morning. The Lee team started last and maintained their position throughout the race. They were awarded the phantom trophy because they came closest to their projected finishing time of 19:00. Thanks to Madelyn Moon for handling the finish line. Rick Kananen provided the commentary, primarily about his 51:47 time when walking the Farwell course this morning, which is the event that Rick thought that we were doing this morning. Rick was particularly happy to break the walking times of 53:58 that Becki Kriege and Kari Cornwell posted in December of 2010, a day or so after major surgery on one of them. Rick did run this course in 19:46 in February of 1984, which got him 8th place that day in a field of 24.

Sheldon started with a 73, which gave him a 7-second lead after one lap. He dropped to a 78 for a 2:31 at the half for an 11-second lead. Ben knocked 3 seconds off the lead during the 3rd lap and 8 more seconds during the first 300 meters of the last lap and they then raced together over the remaining 100 meters with Sheldon slightly edging Ben for the win. Scott ran by himself to finish 3rd. The next 7 finishers were tightly packed throughout the first 3 laps. Geoff and Norry pulled away from the pack and had a very close sprint over the last 100 meters, finishing as close to each other as did Sheldon and Ben. All in the group of 7 broke 6 minutes except Souza,who had to slow when he strained his hamstring during the last lap.

One 70+, one 75+ and one 80+ runner showed up for this apparently unpopular relay. I think that Dave took home the weekly trophy as he was on the bottom of the pile clutching the trophy at the end of the fight for the trophy. These runners predicted their times prior to the workout. Bill predicted 11:00 and ran 10:03, Alvin predicted 13:00 and ran 10:16, and Dave predicted 12:00 and ran 11:36. I don’t think that we’ll use any of these guys to do future handicapping. Don Packwood and Kat Powell threw in a few solo 200s during the relay.

Norry ran 17:30 to move to #8 on the 60+ list, just behind Ken Napier and just in front of Joe Hurtado. Robert missed his PR by 2 seconds. Missy improved her 45+ PR by 4 seconds. This kept her #9 on the 45+ list but moved her to within 2 seconds of 8th placer Liz Nast. Liz’ time this morning put her #9 on the 55+ list. 55+ runner Tim Souza missed his all-time PR of 14:25 but was pleased to announce that he had knocked 28 pounds off his high water mark of 210 pounds. Tim Rostege missed joining your editor in the 200% club with his time of 28:18. He has a PR of 14:20. He has improved his performances greatly lately and is after fellow 75+ runner Dave Norlander. Don Packwood, another 75+ runner, walked this course 3 months ago in 33:28. Today, he ran the course in 33:28, improving his yearly best by 7 seconds. 80+ runner Bill Dodson worked late last night and ran 38 miles last Sunday but still ran faster than any other club 80+ runner has run but missed his own 80+ course record.

Dick Barrett Trophy Winner – Bob Kemp & Kristina Park
The Park and Navarrete team had a close race throughout the middle of the race before the Park team got away during the last 3 laps to win by about 100 meters. All teams were rated to finish near 17:45 and all but the Norlander team came close. We run this relay just once a year so that club members have a reasonable amount of time to recover until we run it again. Dave keeps track of his splits in most years. He ran 10:18 for this relay in 2012, 10:04 in 2011, 9:59 in 2010, and 9:22 in 2009. However, age has caught up with him during the past couple of yeas and he ran 12:30 this year. Unfortunately, the unidentified handicapper did not take Dave’s decline into account and kept his rating at 10:00 and his team finished 2+ minutes behind the pack. Thanks to Carl Petersen, Danny Moon, and Jim Bordoni for helping at the finish line.

Due to the fact that every other handoff for each team was about 200 meters from the start/finish line, we were only able to get a few splits (one person on two of the teams timed themselves and, thus, we were able to back into some of the other splits.

All teams were rated to finish at 46:15. So, the ratings were not too good. But, remember – When something is wrong, it must be Becki’s fault even though she did not do the rating. Joseph had a good day to lead all of us with an 8:33 average. Kristina led the ladies with a 9:11 average. After reviewing the times, Jim Bordoni should have been given the weekly trophy as he ran very well and the first two teams were given very generous ratings. Thanks to Carl Peterson and Don Packwood for helping at the finish line.

Dick Barrett Trophy Winner – Norry McAllister
Calvin took off fast and the only runners that got close to him after that were the runners that he lapped. Kristina led the ladies. Robert beat his all-time 5K best by 30 seconds. Don exceeded his goal of race walking faster than 12 minutes per mile with a 11:53 average. J.R. ran a Saturday workout with us for the first time in many years. Thanks to Don Packwood, Dave Norlander, and Norry McAllister for helping us at the finish line. Incidentally, Norry did not bring an excuse note from his mom. But, he did produce a couple of weak coughs as evidence of his very bad cold.

Dick Barrett Trophy Winner – Gary Waggoner
Cold weather again (high 40s) but tolerable. Gary and Scott ran together for the first 2 miles of the race before Gary finally got away from him and then cruised to an easy win. Gary noted after the race that he had intensively practiced during the past two weeks on downhill running in preparation for running against Norry McAllister on the downhill portions of the course. However, when he told Norry about his training on the night before the race, Norry suddenly started coughing and mentioned that he might not be able to run the next morning. Norry sent Gary an email the next morning, stating that his mom was preparing a note for him that would explain how serious his cold was and that he would bring the note with him to the next club run. It should be noted that Norry’s mom previously wrote a sympathectic note for Norry requesting a favorable rating for Norry for our annual handicap race. Some club members suspect that it is Norry who has been preparing these notes and not his mom. Other notable items about our race this morning included – Kristina missed her 45+ PR by 7 seconds, Dino temporarily put the brakes on his rapid decline by running only 2 seconds slower than he ran this course last July, Robert Navarrete missed his 60+ PR by just 12 seconds, Becki (still recovering from recent injuries and illness) ran within 18 seconds of her 50+ best, Paul Taylor, who has been running this course for 9 years, ran a PW (personal worst), and Don Packwood race-walked 68 seconds faster than he did last year for this course. His pace per mile of 12:24 was faster than the club president’s pace per mile when running this course. Thanks to Jim Bordoni and Dave Norlander for helping at the finish line.

Cold this morning (high 30s), which is not good for fast times for short-distance runs. Alvin Jackson ran 36:44 last week and then ripped off a 27:27 for 2.67 miles of running in this relay to lead his team to victory, Fortunately, his teammate ran slow for his ability level to make the margin of victory a respectable distance. All teams were rated to finish in 45:45 with the Nast/Waggoner team getting closest to that rating. We had 6 teams scheduled to run but due to a screwup by an unidentified handicapper the two members of the 6th team got started separately. Despite this screwup and constant harassment of the timers – Todd Hayes and Chris Blue – they did a perfect job of timing and got everyone’s splits. Norry led the runners with a time of 15:26 and was followed by new club member Sheldon Ah Sing at 15:31, Gary Waggoner at 15:44, and Kristina Park at 15:47. It should be noted that 81-year-old Bill Dodson ran for 2½ hours yesterday, ran the workout this morning, and was planning to go out to Los Gatos to run several events in the all-comers track meet this afternoon. Thanks to Dave Norlander, Danny Moon, Chris Blue, and Todd Hayes for helping at the finish line.

Dick Barrett Trophy Winner – Norry McAllister
This was a rotten morning on which to run as it rained and was predicted to rain very hard at any moment. Still, 11 runners showed up to run and several others showed up to help or to go for a long training run. Norry displayed his vastly superior downhill running talent (I think that was how Norry explained it during his hour-long description of his race at breakfast) to come from 10 yards behind Gary as they started their downhill run just past the double-gate area to grab the lead and then ran as hard as he could for the remaining 2 miles to score the win. Thanks to Dave Norlander, Jim Bordoni, and Ken Camet for helping at the finish line. Fair-weather runners Nancy Kirk and Mark Goldman showed up for the breakfast.
