This isn't news -

the worst season for nimiing in
many vears. As a consequence,
many of us have had the unpleas
ant experience of increasing
poundage and decreasing mileage.
But fear nt)t, relief is in sight. The sure cure for the winter blues
is coming. Of course Em rcfemng to Sybil. It's time to stail
thinking about a nice, wann Spring marathon. Some place
scenic: like Boston or Burlington or Long Island, or maybe
Camiel (not the one by-thc-sea, the one by Lake Glcnida.)

On Febrtiaiy lOlh, a contingent of 24 Taconics at
tended the NYRRC Cltib Nile Awards banquet. We witnessed
the highlight of the niglil, the crowning of two Taconics as
Runners of the Year in their age group, NICK CASWELL and
ROB BRIGLIO. Both Nick and Bob had outstanding years in
1995. Nick consistently scored high in the middle and shorter
distances, while Rob tended to excell at the longer distances.
Guest presenters for their awards included liw "Mr.G" Gikofsky
and Mort Kail from the Gannett newspaper group.
In the team categories, Taconic walked away with
three of the seven crystal bowls to be awarded. (.)f course,
Taconic captured the Mens Masters Division (40"s) led by
stand-out individual award wiimers, Nick Caswell and Rob
Briglio, and Joe Porcaro (who was nominated foi" an age group
award and who was presented the team bowl by his teammates.)
The Mens Veterans (50"s) award was picked up by Rich Nash,
Budge Huntoon, and Jack Brcnnan. Rich Nash's relentless
organizational efforts were recognized by being presented the
50's crystal bowl. Sarah Collins, Joan Deitrick, Debbie
Teiranova, Tara Maguire, Lcc Sarokeii, Kate Glynn, Melanie
Benvenue, and Kathleen D'Oltavio were on hand to collect the
Womens "B" Di vi si on award. ' I ' he Women' s t eam bowl went
to Lee Saroken as she was recognized for her outstanding team
leadership, iirepressible enthusiasm, and consistent perfor
mances. Kate and Mel ani e were al so honored wi th i ndi vi dual
age group nominations.

"overheating. " and I went home to Hastings. My phone rang,
ami it was Craig saying. "Grandma, your name was pulled out
of the hat. " and I the recipieent of the free trip for tsvo to
I r e l a n d .
I never expected that. What a beautiful .surprise on
my 70th birthday!
Last June, my husband and J went via Aer Liingus to
Ireland for two weeks. The staff were .so kind and gracious. I
hate ying, but I always feel very relaxed and clo.se to God on
Aer Lingus.
My thanks to Bob Davis and his staff at the Taconid

Rest r i ct Fat I nt ake
According to a study from the Nutrition Program and the
Sports Medicine Institute, School of Medicine and Biomedical Sci
ences (Buffalo, NY) and reported in Club Industry. Jan. '96 by Kathy
Feeney, highly t runners may perform better if they don't overly
restrict fat in favor of carbohydrates.
The study measured three groups of runners' aerobic capacity
and running time to exhaustion alter 7 days on the following diets:
high-carbohydrate (3,500 cal/15% fat), normal (2,700 cal/24%fat)
and high fat (3,500 cal./38%fat). The high-fat diet produced the
greatest aerobic capacity and longer running time, followed by the
high-carbohydrate diets.
Researchers concluded that because the runners were already
physically t, they were better able to utilize the high-fat diet's free
fatty acids as an available energy source. Past studies of the diet/
aerobic capacity connection had used individuals who were not as
highly t as those included in this study.
Fat intake in the diets of non-competitive athletes should
not exceed 30% of total calories. According to the authors of this
study, however, elite athletes should not severely restrict fat intake,
because it may adversely affect their performance

Why Strength Training?
It prevents muscle loss & increases muscle mass. (Adults lose
an average of 6 lbs. of muscle per decade. Resistance training
preserves muscle mass & strength.)
It increases the body's metabolic rate. (During each decade,
the average adult has a 2-5% reduction in metabolic rate. Adding
3 lbs. of muscle, however, can increase metabolic rate by 7%.)
It increases bone-mineral density. (Studies show that older
people who strength train can increase bone density in the spine
and upper femur.)
It improves glucose metabolism. (Researchers found that
glucose uptake increases 23% after just 4 months of strength
training.)
It reduces body fat. (In a recent study, researchers found that
people who strength trained for 3 months lost 4 lbs. of fat. even
though they upped their daily calorie intake by 15%.)
It increases gastrointestinal transmit time. (This can reduce
the risk of colon cancer.)
It lowers resting blood pressure. (And when done in tandem
with aerobic exercise, it can improve blood-pressure readings
even more.)
It can improve blood lipid levels.
It can reduce low-back pain. (People who experience low-
back pain report less pain after 10 weeks of strength-training
exercises that target the lower spine.)
It can reduce the pain of arthritis.

Brrrrrrrr - February 4 - The Freezer 5K
By Jerry Rudlauer
On Sunday, February 4. the New York Metropolitan
Area, like most of the northern reaches of the United States, was
entrenched in a deep freeze. For most, the concerns of the day
involved staying home and keeping warm, while worrying about
costly heating bills and damaged water pipes. Early morning
temperatures hovered at around 5 degrees Fahrenheit throughout
the region, and stiff winds accompanying the low temperatures
made a wind chilled temperature of around -25!
While bitter cold conditions kept the great outdoors
uninhabited and serene, a curious rush of activity was brewing at
i'DR State Park in Yorktown. A remarkably hearty group of
men and women gathered for a yearly ritual organized by the
Taconi c Road Runners Cl ub: "The Wi nter Freezer Fi ves Seri es."
Over 60 participants gathered around the registration
area before the start of the race, eager to test their physical limits
on a 5,000 meter course featuring rolling hills, slippery terrain
and bone-chilling head winds over 3/4 mile on the course's back
s t r e t c h .
Until the nal moments before the race, it was not
known whether or not a formal race would take place, in the
past, adverse conditions converted a Freezer Fives Race from a
competition to a "Fun Run." where participants would run the
l " r ec / c r 5K - I " uhr i i ar v 4. 1996
course, but no scoring would be conducted. I lowever, on the
morning of the race, the roads were only minimally slick, thanks
to a diligent and skillful plowing job done by the staff at FDR.
The runners expressed concern over slick road surfaces, but not
the cold weather, for this was the 1-reezer Fives Series.
Cancelling a Freezer Five race on account of cold weather would
be like cancelling a swim meet because of wet water!
Although traditional runner rivalries and friendly
competition existed on race day, the feeling that predominated
on this day was testing one's perseverence against the harsh
elements of the day. On this day, one was not pressured into
living up to PR standards.
In addition to the runner's stellar performances, the
volunteers need to be recognized for making this event run
without a hitch. The volunteer core pulled together when a
certain race director brought ample beverages but forgot to get
cups(Duh!) Thanks for the bail-out! The spirit of seless
participation in running this event under trying conditions points
out how special this club is and that the good-willed feelings
club members have for each other and for the sport of running
are worth being nurtured. Happy running, and I hope to see you
all in the Spring!

Heel Pain Relates to Tight Calves
Have you been plagued by Achilles tendon problems or plantar fasciitis (a nagging inamma
tion along the brous band running from your toes to your heels)? If so, do a wall push-up. That's
what American Running and Fitness Association's Editorial Advisor Gary Gordon, D.P.M., suggests.
The plantar fascia connects to the Achilles, which in turn connects to the calf muscle. If your
calves are tight, which is the case for many runners, you will put too much pressure on your Achilles
or plantar fascia. This can result in pain behind or under the heel, or along the bottom of your foot.
"I had severe plantar fasciitis in 1982 and nally had to have surgery," said marathon runner,
Pete Ptzinger. "The problem started to come back when I resumed training. That's when I was told
to start stretching my calf muscles. I've never had a problem since."
To do a wall push-up, stand an arm's length from a wall, hold your arms straight, shoulder's
width apart, in front of you so your palms are against the wall. Keeping
your knees straight, lean into the wall, bending your arms (if you have to
move your feet, you're too far from the wall). You should feel a stretch in
your calf Hold the stretch for 15 to 30 seconds. Push away from the wall
to return to your starting position. Repeat six to eight times. Do the same
stretch again, but with your knees slightly bent.

Looking Good at the Freezer 5M
57 fun-seeking runners came out on Februarv' 18 for the Freezer 5 Milcr. Braced for frigid temps and icy winds, not to
mention slick spots on the road, these runners set off for a two-loop trek through FDR Park.
Here are some lips from 365 Health Hints on how to protect ) Our skin in all kinds of weather to protect those good looks:
Shower or bathe with a mild soap or transparent glycerin soaps to prevent dr\'. flaky skin. Don't use deodorant soaps on your face-
they're too harsh for sensitive facial skin.
Avoid alcohol-based astringents, toners, or after-shave lotions, which dry the skin.
Apply a moisturizing lotion immediately after showering or bathing, (Dry skin makes wrinkles more noticeable, so using a
moisturizer makes wrinkles less noticeable.)
Use a room or furnace humidifier during the winter months, to further pre\ent dr> skin.
Apply sunscreen lotion with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher whcnc\'er you go outdoors.
Here are some lips from fellow runners:
Cover your skin, idiot. The wind is a killer, unless you like the leather-look.
Grease up with vaseline. It keeps your face from cracking when it turns to ice.
Hold the pose. Smile lines look good - if you keep smiling!
No. your eyes aren't
deceiving you.

MEMBERSHI P FOR MARCH 1996
Compiled by Joanna Nash
Welcome to the following new members.
Please join us at Taconic races and/or functions in the near future.
Jai me Gomez
Terence Byrne runs locally in the Pumam area and around reservoirs. He likes to run for stress relief and to get exercise outdoors,
anytime. Terence would like to run a 3:30 Marathon. Good luck!
Kerry Cahill started running last year. She enjoys trail miming. (Why don't you try the Mudders and Grunters coming up at the end of
March?!) and sets her sights on mnning a Marathon. (There is a group that trains on Saturday mornings at the Pumphouse, if you're
interested. Call a board member for details.)
Daniel Levy just completed his rst Marathon and would possibly like to try a Triathlon. (We'd recommend Taconic's Biathlon in
August). Daniel can be seen mnning on quiet trails, but his favorite race is the Tavern on the Green Breakfast mn.
James Nortz mns primarily in the midday and would like to set his sights on mnning the NYC Marathon.
Pete Rivera just started mnning. His favorite distance is 5 miles and Pete likes to mn in the parks in the evenings.
Gregory Sautner mns in FDR Park in the mornings, as do many Taconic members.
Wendy Summer (Rich's sister who visited during the Share-A-Walk last October) was very impressed with us "New Yorkers". She
went back to California with a changed opinion. She was more than happy to lend a hand while she was here to that very worthy cause.
Chris Tippin looks forward to mnning with his friends where it is scenic and there are no cars. He would like to increase his speed in
5K and lOK mns. (Try the track workouts in the summer with Doug Miller a.k.a. "Killer Miller"). Chris likes to compete in
Tr i ai hl ons.

Mel ani e Benvenue l i kes t he now
defunct Ti ti cus 7 Mi l er. That i s a
beauti ful Reservoi r! She runs i n the
early a.m. in Central Park (very
brave). Melanie has set the goal of
getting back into shape (Quite a goal
when she was nominated for the
second year in a row by the NYRRC
as Top Woman mnner 50 - 59.)
Karole Colebro enjoys the Harry
Chapin Run for Hunger. Her favorite
race distance is 100 m. (Meters or
Miles?)
Bob and Eileen Davis can be seen
very often behind the scenes working
at one of the many Taconic events.
Bob (and Eileen) agreed to take over
the St. Patrick's Day race (coming
soon) along with Jim Whalen last year
and will continue for this year. Great
job! Bob's goal for the year is to beat
Murphy and Whalen at least once this
year!!
Christopher Feehan would like the
St anf or d Hal f Mar at hon r evi ved.
Chris' goals are to cut his couch time
in half and get out there and run 4X a

1996 NYC Mar at hon.
Lawrence Flood is looking forward to
the St. Patrick's Day 2M but his
favorite race is the Bay to Breakers.
Lawrence would like to start running

Kevin Lowry as a running parmer at
wo r k .
Paul, Sue, Dan and James Furey

Helen Gordon calls TRRC "the tough reliable readiness crew". See you out there, Helen!
Joe Handleman's favorite race is the Sybil 50K. He would like to qualify for Boston, complete another Sybil and have a race total of
1,100. (He is currently at 10411!) Joe runs on dirt raods, trails and in the woods.
Thomas and Louise Lambert enjoy the Kingston Classic. Thomas trains on local roads and parks and runs for the physical
conditioning. (Say "hi" to Louise for me.)
The Nash family can be seen most anywhere and anytime connected with a Taconic event. Only two runners (better known as crazy
people) are in the family at the present time. Rich looks forward each year to the Club Team Championships and he would like to break
60 seconds for the 400 meters. He would like to remain injury free for the remainder of the year. (I would like that, also!)
James O'Brien runs in the FDR Park and the Croton Reservoir area. He would like to stay injury free (that seems to be a mantra of the
50+ age bracket.) Jim looks forward to the NYC Fire Police run.
Marc Oxman can be seen running early in the morning (rain, shine, snow, sleet, hot or cold!) around the FDR Park area. He wants to
keep running and stay in good health.
Keith Panzer (A.K.A. the manic marathoner) to no surprise, his favorite race distance is the Marathon. His favorite race is the Boston
Marathon. Keith would like to run a 100 miler (I'll drive it thank you very much!) and enjoys the post race refreshments.
Toby Reif enjoys the social aspect of running. Her favorite race is the Dutchess half-marathon. Toby can be seen running mornings.
Charles Sprauer looks forward each year to Sybil and the Turkey Trot. He would like to recover from a long time injury.
Debra Terranova can be seen early in the morning (wearing her headset) running in FDR Park or around her area. Her goals are to
keep up with Doug "Killer" Miller's track work outs and the crazy man Rich Nash (don't I know that!) Deb's favorite race is Mudders
and Grunters (of which she was one of the muddiest last year!)
Don Villenueve runs Sybil and enjoys the 50K+ distance, better known as an ultra marathoner. He does his training in the evening,
running in the woods and on trails, but is also part of the Saturday morning "pump house gang."
Pete Warner's favorite race is the Cold Spring lOK, which is also his favorite race distance.
Christopher Feehan and Mike Daley applaud Katy Quinn on her excellent job on the Taconic Running Life, as many of us do!!
Couples Relay
By Steve Calidonna
The 1995 Couples Relay capped off another ne TRRC
holiday/race season. Prior to the start, race director Steve
Calidonna quipped "As the nal event of the 1995 Taconic
calendar, the relay is typically a race at which people try to peak.
Many runners actually pass on the NYC Marathon in order to
give a complete, total, gut-wrenching, BTW effort." While that
may be a noble sentiment, the truth is that it usually snows the
night before the race and the only runners inclined to battle the
elements and hilly course are not at all interested in the
mar at hon.
In truth, the relay is a low key event. There are not mile
markers or water stations. The distance depends on the snow
(this year about 9 inches), and there is no clock. In spite of its
modest prole, the race has seen any number of epic
confrontations. (Especially those involving people who park in
the care-taker's driveway.)
This latest version brought 19 couples to the starting
line. While each team claimed to be more interested in a

pancake breakfast in front of a roaring re, they eagerly began
the savage battle which lay between them and it. At stake in the
6 combined-age categories was a trip to the merchandise table.
Once there, the eet would choose from top-quality head bands,
gaiters, hats, socks, golf balls and commemorative Couples
Relay pins. Also in place was the cheesecake and champagne
rafe. With his legendary generosity, Gary Steinel once again
baked and donated the cheesecake. Finbar Gurdy forgot to bring
the champagne, but it all worked out for the best. You see, Gary
and his race partner, Nancy Laun, won the rafe, so Nancy took
the cheesecake and Gary took a dozen golf balls in lieu of the
forgotten champagne.
Many thanks to Katy Quinn for the yer and to Ed
McLaughlin and Maria Bleasdale for the pancakes.
The running played out as a series of 2 and 3 person
battles. The men ran rst this year, and the women brought the
battle to its close. You had to be there to get the full impact, but
glean what you will from these nal standings:

TRRC Men' s
By Scott Abercrombie
1995 was an intense and wonderful year for our
Masters Team. Taconic's 40-49 year olds won the National
Cross Country lOK in Canandaigua, NY as well as the age
division in the 50 Mile, 8 man Ocean-to-Sound Relay on
Long Island, the New York Road Runners Club Grand Prix
and the Metropolitan Athletic Congress Grand Prix.
Nick Caswell and Rob Briglio ran so many
exceptional races that NVRRC honored both of them as
Runner of the Year in the 45-49 age category. Joe Porcaro
ran well enough to be a nominee in the same age group.
Combined, Nick and Bob had 18 age group wins in the City.
Caswell was also 8th overall in the Long Island Half-
Marathon with a time of 1: 14:28, but he feels his best race was
placing 46th out of 6,000 in the 10 Mile Cherry Blossom in
Washington, D.C. with a time of 55:08.
Briglio was on the winning American team in the
marathon at the World Veteran's Games in Buffalo, NY. He
was the second American nisher with a time of 2:45:10 at
Long Island. Theirs was a well-deserved tie for the NYRRC
Runner of the Year.
Ma s t e r s Te a m
The NY City Marathon is a part of the NYRRC
Grand Prix Series, and for the rst time ever, TRRC scored team
points in this race with Briglio, Caswell and Bob Hermesch.
That same week-end, Steve Calidonna, Joe Porcaro, Ken
Filmanski and Tony Galfano traveled to Long Island to win a
double points race in the MAC Grand Prix series, this
making it possible for us to win that series; which we did.. .and
the $600 that went with it!
On the week-end of the Canandaigua Nationals, TRRC
also sent a second team to NY City for a second place in one of
the NYRRC Grand Prix races. This ability to split the team and
successfully compete in two events at the same time is what
absolutely thrills me the most. We not only have several very
talented runners, but our team has a very large group of
dedicated runners, providing us with competitive depth,
friendship and spirit.
Anyway, this is a new year, and none of us is getting
any younger. This means there must be many more brand new
40 year olds anxious to run with us! So, if you would like to get
involved in team events, please call me, Scott Abercrombie, at
(914) 737-0872. Team competition adds to the rewards and
benets we realize for ourselves by being runners, not to
mention the added incentive to get out and do the training.
Taconic Masters Pick Bagg
Baldwin Place, NY - The Taconic Road Runners Club
Men's Masters 40-49 Team today selected Jim Bagg as their
Director of Public Relations, a new position. It became
necessary to create the post after the team's success, including a
USA Track & Field National Championship, during the 1995
season. In this position, Bagg will be responsible for all
interaction with the media (including the award winning Taconic
Running Life), negotiating with race directors for appearance
fees, and concluding various sponsorship agreements. "I am
delighted to have been selected over the other 1,000 applicants,"
said Bagg. "No doubt my unsolicited submissions to Taconic
Running Life showed the insight and concern I have for this
talented group of runners. I am already in negotiations for
sponsorship dollars. With our members having names such as
Calidonna, Porcaro, Galfano, and Briglio, I think we are a
natural t for a pasta company. However, I am pinning my
hopes on a toilet paper manufacturer. It seems one of our
runners is becoming very well known in the community for
having the runs-on-the-run."
A former competitive runner, Bagg is best known for
having the term, "bagged it," coined af^er him. This term is used
when a runner enters a race but then fails to nish it. Bagg is the
current worl d record hol der of thi s dubi ous di sti ncti on.
In a related development, the TRRC Executive Board
will vote shortly on whether to raise membership dues to $1,000
per individual. This move appears necessary in order to cover
Bagg's salary. For additional information, please contact the
club at P.O. Box 99, Baldwin Place, NY or call the club on 914-
923- 4665.

50's Team Captures Tri-State Title
By Rich Nash. 50's Team Captain
What a year, 1995! What a team!! TRRC's Veterans Team obliterated the Metropolitan Team Competition this past year 12? to

It wasn't easy in the beginning, even though we won our rst race in January (Northwind I OK). February brought bitter cold and
nasty road conditions for our rst defeat, to Withold's Running Club in the Bagel Run I OK.
March would surely bring better results in the Rites of Spring I OK, but to no avail. We suffered our second loss to the strone
Wi t h o l d Te a m.
The next month, at th Queens Half-Marathon, we showed our colors and comopetitiveness again, and. . . it's not over until "the fat
lady sings."
May - good weather-strong team-what could go wrong with the Central Park 5 Miler?! Withold's Running club, again, that's
what!! Our third loss was difcult, but we managed to maintain the point lead overall. Taconic suffered another setback in June, nishing
a distant 3rd in the Bronx Half-Marathon to Westside Runners Club and VanCortland Track Club, respectively.
July would be 'Tale of the Tape" with the Club Team Championships 5 Miler in Central Park. Taconic shined 1st. Yes! Yes!!
Forest Park 2nd, Westchester Track Club 3rd and so on down the line. How sweet the post race picnic was! We were on a roll and the
adrenalin carried us through 3 weeks later in August, defeating Millrose AA at the Hispanic Half-Marathon. We would be tough to catch
now, although Central Park Running Club prolonged the inevitable, beating us in the Fred LeBow 5K Cross-Country.
Our most impressive victory was the folowing Norwegian 5K Race, nishing rst (1st through 5th and 7th place) in October
The Championship Series geared down with the Pete McArdle I5K Cross Country in November and ending with the Holiday Run
25K in late December.
Taconic celebrated its stunning victory at the Mahnattan Center Club Night Dinner/Awards Ceremony February 10 1996
displaying our Tiffany crystal.
My heartfelt thanks and appreciation go to the 23 team members, of whom 17 ran 3 races or more races, dedicating themselves
for team excellence through injury, adversity, training, and temporary setbacks. How good are we?? Bring on the Nationals! I imagine we
can raise some cash!!
