One of the Five Starts at this
Year's Jersey Shore Relay
It was a bright sunny day
along the Jersey Shore for the 9th Annual Jersey Shore Relay. The winds
were certainly a factor coming directly from the North into the faces of the
runners as they made their way from Seaside Heights to the finish in Asbury
Park, The first pace team was The Rutgers Road Runners, captained by Eddie
Jimenez of New Brunswick. They traversed the 27 mile course in a time of
2:40:47. They were followed closely by the College of New Jersey Alumni
who competed in the School Division and finished in 2:43:57. The Open
Women's Team was Runner's High which completed the course in 2:52:27. The first
Iron Finisher - completing the entire course on his own was Christopher Bannitt
of South Orange who completed the course in 3:37:12. After the Relay
runners were treated to a huge party at the Stone Pony. The place was jammed
with runners who were entertained by Hunter Hayes.
Chris and Bernadette Wilcox were
recognized as the top fund raiser for the event. Photo above on the right
with one of the checks - Chris personally matched his sponsors donations for a
total contribution of over $25,000.

the skies were bright blue. the air we breathed crisp and clean as we
rounded sandy hook with vista of new york city and sightings of an occassional
yachtsman or boater with their crafts launched for the first time this season;
and cow bell boy clanging and clanging and clanging. the sun warm on our faces
and bodies. affordingwith ocean breezes wafting. the waves crashing and
splashing sparkling mists that twinkled and sparkled in all that brilliant
sunlight.
just reeeeeeeeal special for me to be running through the finish line area
headed south as the marathon winner headed north to break the tape. kind of cool
to watch him lift his arms and break the tape.
hey look, there's todd byers, the barefoot runner who made me do it six miles
of the frederick marathon last year. "hey! how ar ya's?" to the www.marathonmaniacs.com
at the start and whoo hooing the black and yellow clad maniacs along the 6 miles
of the out and around the buffet table in deal.
i relished being on my surf and turf and hearing my name yelled by friends
and the jersey shore running clubbers and clubettes.
"theres no place like home. there's no place like home." i
exclaimed with glee at the well attended finish line.
and later... after a celebratory bar-b-que in point pleasant. click clicked
the heels at mix til 2 am.
YES! THE ADVIL WORKED.

Nike to Offer New Shoe to JSRC
Members
Quota Filled - Shoes to be
Presented by Nike Director of Research at Manasquan Fools Run
You may have read in the press or
many running magazines that Nike will be introducing a brand new running shoe
late this year which takes advantage of revolutionary nano-technolgy.
Basically the shoe has millions of very tiny springs embedded in its heel and
forefoot.. These tiny springs made out of space age materials originally
developed by NASA for use by astronauts on planets with gravity greater than the
earth provide a positive return of energy and in preliminary tests have shown a
20 to 30% increase in overall performance. The shoes will most likely be
banned from competitive events such as the Olympics but for the recreational
runner it will allow slower runners to keep up with their faster friends. Before
they release it to the general public they are going to be performing
unprecedented testing to determine the effect the shoes have on runners as well
as their safety and any health risks.
The Jersey Shore Running Club has
been selected as the exclusive tester of this revolutionary shoe. If you
would like to participate in this test, just write an email to us at jsrc@hotmail.com.
In the email provide your shoe size, how many miles a week you run, and your 5K
pace. This offer is limited to JSRC Members in good standing who have their dues
paid. All participants will be required to sign a waiver, promise not to
use the shoes in any race where prize money is offered, have periodic medical
exams and maintain a detailed running log.
Spring
Training
JSRC
members, Elaine Hartung and John MacGillivray are conducting several training
programs this spring to help runners of various levels get ready for spring
running and racing. The programs range from the true beginner
looking to run their first 5K, such as the JSRC Pre-Father’s Day Run on June
11 to more advanced programs helping runners train for 5 mile races such as The
Spring Lake Five, George Sheehan Classic and Belmar Five. To
view the entire listing of programs, please visit their web site www.geocities.com/Jmacrunning.
You can contact Coach Elaine and Coach John at JMacRunning@yahoo.com.

Ocean Drive Marathon
Sutah Robins
hey all! i drove down to sea isle city yesterday morning to run the ocean
drive marathon. parked my car at the finish line and took the trolley to the
start in cape may.
speaking of starts... the trolley driver announced that we could
stay warm on board or start early. START EARLY??? i was all starved up to have a
big pancake breakfast at uncle billy's pancake house, but start early???!...YES,
get me out of this trolley and up the windy rain soaked road.
about 15 of us lined up at 8:15 ish. (official race start 9). ed, the race
director gives a few instructions about turns and writes down our bib numbers.
we are running in the rain moments later. i can't believe it! an early start.
all this space. all this wind. all this time.
three guys and myself settle into a 9 minute pace, alternately passing each
other or lagging back. on mile 13 we are single file a few blocks from one
another.
at mile 16 i heard a truck slowly gaining on me. the flatbed passes me and i
note the time clock in the bed. sure enough here is the lead male runner jamming
by. reeling in the early birds.
here's the thing... once the lead male runners go by, i now look like the
lead female. as i grab gatorade at each water station the volunteers eagerly
announce to me that i am lead woman. mile 17. mile 18. mile 19. mile 20. mile
21. mile 22. mile 23. mile 24. at mile 25.!!! i am wondering "where is the
lead woman!!!!!" i am also freaking out. am i supposed to break the finish
line tape or stop running and wait for her. i ask one of the male runners as he
zips past where the devil is the lead woman and he replies "blocks
back."
at mile 25 and a half we are all pretty much still single file. i hear
footsteps approaching. i turn to see with relief that it is a woman. oh thank
god. and she yells incredulous "did you start early?" (well duh, i
would have been pretty hard to miss in that pink short set) "yep!, go! go!
go!" i scream at her.
i also screamed "run!" to the second woman as they crossed the
finish line one, two and me three! yes, howdy. that was fun.
debbie's time on the clock 3:16:13.
heidi's time on the finish clock 3:16:17.
my time at the time 3:19 something.
my official time 4:04:44.
who says you can not bring back a base in two weeks and kinda, almost, sort
of win a marathon? didn't get a trophy, but i got a story. AND a filet mignon at
mcloone's rum runner.
