DEATH VALLEY, DECEMBER 2 - DEATH VALLEY MARATHON:
From John Fetcho - ÒHereÕs a report
on the Death Valley Borax Marathon held on December 2. I was able to run a lot
quicker than I anticipated, especially considering I only had one 20 mile
training run and did not have any weeks with more than 35 miles. I went
into the race hoping to break 3:30 and qualify for Boston. I beat that time by
9 minutes so I was pleased after I finished but not while I was running! I
finished 12th overall, 1st in my division (50 to 54) in 3:21:04 out of 156
finishers. The course was all below sea level (the lowest point being 246
feet below sea level) but don't let them kid you that it is flat! The
elevation chart makes it look like the hills are gentle but when you have run
22 miles, any uphill is nasty! It was in the 23rd mile that I had to walk
about 100 yards but there were so few participants that no one passed me while
I was walking. I was able to jog most of the rest of the way and only
walked one more time for a short distance after the last aid station. The
weather was gorgeous, about 45 degrees at the start and up to about 55 when I
finished, with no wind. I must have looked a mess when I finished because
one of the finish volunteers walked me over to the Gatorade table. They
tell you to take extra water with you and I didn't. So, even though it was a
very long drive (6 hours one way), it was worth it. There was no way you
could get lost in the crowd because there wasn't one! Now I have to start
training for my cross country ski trip to Glacier Point in February. See you at
the workouts!Ò

SAN DIEGO, DECEMBER 9 - FOOTLOCKER NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
CHAMPIONSHIPS (at
Balboa Park):
Girls - 10. Jordan Hasay 18:14. . . Jordan Hasay of Mission Prep had a chance
to become the fourth girl to win two national titles but faded down the stretch
and finished 10th in 18:14, more than a minute slower than her winning time
last year. Kathy Kroeger of Franklin, Tenn., won in 17:29. "They tried to do what I did last
year and it worked," said Hasay, who pulled away in the final mile last
year to win her title in 17:05. "I felt really good the first two miles
and then I just died." Hasay said she blamed her performance on a long
night in her hotel room.
"I've been really nervous," she said. "I didn't sleep
very much last night so I was tired." Hasay said she did come away with at least one lesson.
"I learned how to lose," she said. "I'm disappointed, but I'm
not going to let it get me down." - /LA Tiimes/ -
