2007 Results
December 8 and 15, Second Saturday Racewalk, Green Lake, Seattle, Unjudged. 2.8 Miles. A few missed the news that we slipped the second Saturday race to third due my 25th anniversary trip to Mexico so we had a split race. The earlier weekend had the better weather as 15th it was cold and windy with intermittent rain but luckily the rain held off during the race. 15th racers deferred to the weather and just did a social workout as Bob was a few minutes slower than prior month and kept me company.
Anne Tuberg,
47, 26 plus something as reported by Richard Z.- raced on the 8th.

November 10, Second Saturday Racewalk, Green Lake, Seattle, Unjudged. 2.8 Miles. Surprisingly nice day for November with cool calm conditions. Dan Pierce was visiting from Colorado for the weekend. I was out with sore knee from running - so much for my new 60 age group running comeback!

October 13, Second Saturday Racewalk, Green Lake, Seattle, Unjudged. 2.8 Miles. Very foggy, damp and cool, mid 40's temperature. Fog started burning off as we finished and became a beautiful 60's day. Had 3 very enthusiastic ladies for the clinic after the race. Times are a little slow as Bob and I started chatting after a first decent mile so just a good tempo walk versus a race.

August 11, Second Saturday Racewalk, Green Lake, Seattle, Unjudged. 2.8 Miles. Nice warm morning again with minimal breeze. PS. I'm not in the results as tweaked a hamstring on Tuesday and the leg wrap only held off the pain for about 2 miles so I dnf'd at 2.5. Back to the ice packs for a few days. That's the problem with training. If you do it you risk injury, if you don't, you're slow. Finding the in-between is the art to the science.

September
16, Fairhaven Runners 15K race, Bellingham, WA. Advertised
as a flat fast course. Wondered where that came from
as we lined up at the start and looked up at the two
block hill we were ready to start up. Hit the crest
and then rolling road for next two miles. Then went
downhill to flatter land but had numerous twists and
turns and changes of surface, from concrete, to wooden
slats, to gravel. At 7 miles Bob and I were still
on pace to break 1.5 hours. Then we went uphill to
halfway up the crest and ran into 2 miles of gravel
road. I was feeling pretty good and tried to chase
Bob down but could only do 10 flat miles. Wow. Disappointing
for the effort. Then at mile 9 marker we had a 100
yard steep bridge up from the waterfront again
and finished on the gravel. I don't think this would
be a fast running course and for racewalking it was
terrible. It's going on my list of never do again
race courses.

Friday's 5K took place on a record setting heat day where it reached 98 and muggy. Someone said temp was 92 and radiant heat on track at Men's 30-59 race at 9:10 am was 119. Enough said.
Sunday's 10K was on a hilly course although temperature was only 76 or so. My body clock at 7 am was still on 4 am Seattle time but I had a good race effortwise. Tommy Aunan takes the prize for coming closest to his Seattle times in those conditions. He medalled as well as Bart Kale.

he did a fast time and was just ahead of Ann. Debo

in Seattle. Was high 70's but felt like 100. 60:54
(Personal worst 10K) although did match my race number,
154, for one hour, 54 seconds. Next,
June 3rd did the California State Senior Games
5K racewalk at Cal Tech in Pasadena. Was
81 degrees as pulled into the parking lot at 8:15
am. Was 91 as left at 10 am so race temp at 9 was
about 85 and track was way hotter. Finished 2nd to
Larry Walker in 28:54. Was happy to finish only 26
seconds slower than last month in cool Oregon. Now
I have a feel for what Charlotte will be like in August
only with humidity, or like my mom says, humility.
Yes, it will probably bring some of that too.
May 13, Second Saturday Racewalk, Green Lake, Seattle, Unjudged. 2.8 Miles. A warm morning with a little breeze. Fast times for most.

May 7, 2006. The Month of May 5K Racewalk
was held on Sunday morning May 7, 2006. The event
was held at Banks Oregon which is nestled next to
the eastern foot hills of the Coastal Mountains that
protect the valley from Pacific Ocean winter storms.
The 5000 meter racewalk was held on the Banks High
School 400 meter track. The well constructed asphalt
track seems to never have puddles or standing water
when it is raining.
The weather at the 10:00 AM start time for the race was 45 F (7 C) under a cloudy sky with clouds just covering the tops of the Coastal Mountains and with a very strong wind coming toward the participants on the finishing straight away.

Thank you to the 5 judges and the 15 volunteers that made this a very smoothly run event and an enjoyable time for the competitors. Also, thank you to Bev LaVeck for providing lunch and a wonderful cake for everyone after the race.
April 8, Second Saturday Racewalk, Green Lake, Seattle, Unjudged. 2.8 Miles. A good turnout on a reasonable day. A little cool but not bad considering it rained all weekend on and off. Bob and a returning walker, Karl Johansen, did the double loop in nice times. I started out planning on both but was dehydrated and at 1/2 mile had to stop as got lightheaded. Strolled to the mile mark and then recovered and finished at good pace but skipped the second lap. Accidentally had real coffee on Thursday night so had only 5 hours sleep and kept urinating all night and didn't make up for the water loss on Friday. Shows how finely tuned the body is. Or is it old age?

14th, Second Saturday Racewalk, Green Lake, Seattle,
Unjudged. A nice morning with some wind but
good conditions and even a bit warm when the sun came
out. Bob Novak was under the weather so skipped this
and his projected race in Riverside, Cal. We had a
good turnout as several walkers from last month's
clinic did their first racewalk race. Congratulations
Del, Bob, and Kelly. Also joining us was Gordon who
has been walking for a while but just decided to hook
up with our group. My sore foot is responding to new
orthotics so I'm hoping to train pain free soon. Today's
race was faster than I expected and it's amazing what
happens when you can focus on walking versus pain...
Ann also had a cold today and Joslyn suffered from
lack of training syndrome.

The

Open
10KM Racewalk was held on April 16, 2005. The racewalk
was held at
West Seattle WA. The race is held a few days before
or a few days
after Bev LaVeck's birthday. This year the race was
held a few days
before Bev's birthday. This racewalk is also known
as the Bev LaVeck
Birthday Party 10KM Racewalk. After the race, Bev
also provides
lunch and cake for judges, volunteers, participants,
spectators and
everyone else.
The
race was held at the West Seattle Stadium on an excellent
400
meter track. This year was the first time in many
years that there
was rain during the race. The weather at the 10:00
AM start time was
very cloudy, raining, windy and cold. The temperature
at the start
time was 43 F (6 C). Although the competitors wore
only shorts and a
shirt, the competitors quickly warmed up. However,
the judges,
volunteers and spectators were the people that really
suffered during
the race.

Bart went past Bob and me about mile 2 but his form
was ragged as he emphasized speed over form to get
some work in before the Indoors in Idaho. He graciously
declined to take the victory after I unofficially
dq'd him and was glad to know what to work on before
he gets into judged races. Had four ladies attend
the clinic, several of them tri-athletes looking for
an alternative to running.

Probably makes a difference if we consider it a race at all out speed versus finishing and actually enjoying the experience. I know I've had a sore foot for the past year limiting my mileage somewhat but it's more laziness and lack of desire than other drawbacks. Ah, nice to have youth (it's all relative in our mainly masters sport) and enthusiasm. Maybe the enthusiasm is a good goal for the New Year.

July 10, 2004, Second Saturday Race (SSR), 2.8 miles unjudged. A nice cool day for July, 60 degrees, with only a slight breeze. We did have to contend with the milk carton derby at the south end of the lake and it cost us a few seconds of dodging and weaving. I started off too fast but then the rest chased me and got fast times. Guess we need to hire a rabbit.Bob and I are about right on pace for 27 flat 5K so hope we can break that at the 5K on the track in two weeks. I'm healthy to run again so will try and do the 5K run after the racewalk there. Hope they have two divisions so I have the break in between, not like last time where there was only 10 minutes to recover.

A nice day at the lake with a perfect temperature
- cool but warm enough to stay loose. Most walked
their PR for the year. The good competition helped
too as Bob and I pushed each other well to a tie and
there were several other close finishes. We had two
Bellingham rw's attend as Doug Ermini and Kathy Henley
attended their first SSR. Also, Phoebe, Emily's 10
year old sister, did part of the course to prep for

director and she has her birthday close to the race
day, this event
is fondly referred to as the Bev LaVeck Birthday 10
KM Racewalk

The

West Seattle
Stadium track. The weather at the 10:00 AM start time
was 50 F (10
C), mostly sunny with a light breeze coming toward
the participants
on the back side of the track. Half way through the
race, the sky
became a sunny azure blue cloudless sky. There were
very close races
between Doug Ermini and John Backlund as well as Dick

Richard Zerbe
took a trip to Arizona in February and shares these
results. I did a 1 minute 46 second racewalk quarter
in AZ and was told it was a record though I don't
know exactly what kind. I won my age group and was
second by only 3/10's of a second to a 53 year old.
The conditions were very bad, raining, cold (45 degrees)
and windy. I went all out in the 400 so had little
left for the 1500 racewalk - as you know endurance
is not my strong point. I did about 9 min and 30 seconds
which was also good enough for a win. The timers didn't
work and the judging was loose so I can't say if I
was completely legal or not. (Wow, that's a fast 1/4).
April 10th, 2004, Second Saturday Race (SSR), 2.8 miles unjudged. Nice day but almost a little too warm. No one seemed to do a fast time. Had several newcomers. Welcome to Emily and Jesse on their first SSR race. Bob was under the weather so with no one to push me, I was slower then last month, not a good trend. Maybe it was the 6:31 pace I ran around the lake course on Tuesday? Does it take more than 3 days to recover? Darn this old age is getting to be hell. Gregg had his knee injured when a skier ran into him on the slopes and had surgery so it will be the summer until we see him out again. Get well quick Gregg.

A nice warmer morning after the cold and snow of the

races. Most took it as a good workout. Ann is having
toe surgery in two weeks to remove some bone spurs.
We hope to see her back about when the weather improves.

I (Stan C.) racewalked the Super Jock n' Jill half-marathon Sept. 1st in 2:04:45 (9:31 pace). It was a fair course on a warm morning although the middle section went up and down several times through the UW Bothell campus. The last 3 miles were flat along the river trail as were the first 5-6 miles. They also have a 4 mile race. There used to be a racewalk division in this race however our numbers have dwindled and I was the only racewalker in the run although Simon walked the race in the walk division. Unofficial reports have Steve Frederickson passing him at about 11 miles. Steve went on to finish in 2:14 so Simon was probably in the 2:15 range.
National Masters Track and Field Championships, Eugene, Oregon, August 7-10.
The weather in Eugene was cooler than expected, making for some good racing. The 5Ks were held on the Hayward Field track on Friday morning with 6 separate races by age groups. Bev was first out of the blocks at 8 am and smoked the field in the women's 65-89 race. She took the lead and gradually pulled away for the win, setting an age 67 record in te process.
Bob Novak and I were in the 10:15 race, men's 50-59. One side of the track was still in the shade so conditions were good. We walked our best 5Ks of the year which held up for 4th place for both of us in our age groups.
Bart Kale raced last at 11:40 am in the men's 30-49 group. He held on for 5th in a very competitive race but gained some notoriety when he stubbed his toe and took a header about 10 feet short of the finish line. He got up and did the last few steps to finish to the crowd's applause and his own embarassment.
In the 10K on the road on Sunday, only Bob and I from the Pacers competed. The women's race was at 8 am and the men's at 10:30. The course was a 1K loop back and forth in front of Hayward field. There was a fast start but Bob and I paced it well and passed quite a few walkers as I finished 4th (again) and Bob was 5th this time.
