Threatening skies and high humidity didn't deter the many women and girls, ages 11 to 70, who ran and/or walked our 23rd annual TCRC Women's Distance Festival 5k at Otsiningo Park last Thursday evening. Just under last year's record field, we had a great turnout with 75 registrants and 72 finishers.
Congratulations to repeat winner, Murhpee Hayes; although she didn't quite hit the course record time she set last year, she still ran an impressive 18:47, only 4 days after her strong finish at Chris Thater 5k. 25-yr-old Lindsay LaRose, from Oneonta, who ran for Wellesely College, finished 2nd in 19:32. We had 13 mother-daughter teams (Myettes won and Gates placed 2nd) and 1 sister-sister team (Gates won that one). The 4 Gates women had an impressive family showing - in addition to their team placements, Karen, Erika, Carly and Lauren all finished within the top 15 Overall. The fastest first timer (in a 5k) was Madeline Staiger, 11, sister of CF xc and track athlete Michele Staiger; Madeline ran her first 5k in 26:24 - another Staiger on her way!
As many will attest, the highlight of this race is not only the female camaraderie, male support and the chance to participate in a women's-only event, but the food afterwards ... the picnic tables under the shelter adorned with tablecloths, candles and wonderful baked goodies (and Donna's hot coffee), provided a nice atmosphere for TCRC, FLRC and high school and middle school girls to socialize. The club presented a gift basket and gift card to Diane Sherrer, as an acknowledgment and thank-you for her contribution to and support of women's running over the past few decades.
I have many people of all ages and both genders to thank:
THANK YOU...
Donna Russell and Debbie Grassi, my co-race committee women, who did a tremendous job in the baked goods department and table spread set up...
Grace Tabeek, for helping me with Registration;
Sue Cain, for her blueberry jam and general support;
Barb Morrissey, for her organization and presentation of our club gift to Diane Sherrer;
Cathy and Natalie Hawkes, for baking all day Thursday;
Greg Amend and Todd Votapka, who did an awesome, efficient and fast job with the computer results;
The Finish Line Crew of Kevin Pasterchik, George Joseph, Skip and Tom Hamlin, Dan Dougherty, Ed Jenner and newbie Chris Pilotti;
Dave Cody, for all of his help with the golf cart setting up the course and water stop, plus being our "turnaround" marshal;
Dan Young, for being Mile 1 and Mile 3 timer;
Donna and Phil Russell for donating the Mid-pack award;
Barb and Joe Gwizdaloski, for their help at various locations;
Fran Fitch, who had the smarts to ride his mountain bike so he could be a "road" marshal out on the course;
XC Coaches Tom Carter, Gary Fancher and Mike Cordi, for bringing some of their xc girls and for side-line cheering and encouragement for everyone;
Harland Bigelow, Tony Mazza, Lee and Jeremy Anderson, Vince Kelley, and Ellen Jenner for their help out on the course, water stop and finish line cheering.
And finally, a big thank you to many of the above-mentioned people who stayed till the very end in the very dark and helped with the cleanup!
It was an honor to be both the Race Director and winner of the Mother-Daughter team. I look forward to next year and already have some new ideas for the event. If anyone has any comments or suggestions, please feel free to E-me.
