weather cooperated with cool overcast conditions.- ideal for racing

Kendall Square who finished in 28:03. For the women it was Meghan Phillips

NYC Marathon
Experience of a Volunteer - Chris
Troyano
Another New York City Marathon &
another volunteer session for Maria Vanora & myself. Despite having
bronchitis, I kept my volunteer commitment, especially with the weather making
it bearable for me to be outside but being a tad warm for a marathon. This time
we were course marshals on Central Park South by 7th Avenue, near Columbus
Circle. A course marshal makes sure all goes well for the runners & provides
assistance, if necessary.
We were stationed on the course with
all the marathoners. This was quite a change from the family reunion & chip
clipping volunteer duties we had over the past several years. We reported to
Columbus circle before 10:30AM. Sometime around 11AM all the course marshals
were placed @ their stations. Our position was a half mile from the finish line
& we had a great view of all the elite runners along with the rest of the
marathoners. Of course, with the bulk of the crowd passing by us between 2 &
4PM, it was quite a challenge to spot any of the JSRC runners. However, the few
that I did see on Central Park South, I shouted out encouragement & each
runner acknowledged with a kind gesture.
Being out on the course enables one
to really see the marathon experience, outside of running a marathon (not since
2001 for me). I was reminded of all the determination, the effort, the energy,
the strength, & the struggle to get to that distant finish line. Marathoners
were jogging, running, stopping to stretch & walking. Some collapsed, while
others felt ill but continued to run. Medical staff offered assistance to
numerous runners. NYC Police offered encouragement via a megaphone. The runners
had the common goal to reach the finish line. They had to run the entire
distance on their own, but they were far from being alone with over 35,500
runners, 2.5 million spectators & 12,000 volunteers.
Maria & I eventually left
Central Park South after 4:30PM after a very full day. I'm not sure if it was a
100% good idea for my bronchitis, but it was a fun idea for the two of us. Now
we have another marathon poncho & T-shirt to add to our collection along
with some photographs. Many congratulations to all the JSRC marathoners this
fall! We hope you are well on your way to a full recovery.
We Get Letters

It was a great day for the 25th
Annual Hashathon held in Cheesequake State park this past Sunday, November
14th. The cool crisp fall weather was a delight to the 300 plus runners
who participated. Most all the participants made it to the finish in one
piece on a very challenging hilly trail course through the scenic woods in the
park. The overall winner was Joe Pawlish (on the left) of Asbury Park in a time
of 39:20. For the women it was Lauraen Rhatigan (on the right)of Brant
Beach in a time of 47:23. Many of the runners made it over to the post race
festivities at a local establishment outside the entrance to the park where they
were treated to refreshments and a cool band. Congratulations to Mark
Griggs and all the volunteers from the JSRC and the Rumson Hash House Harriers
for another great race. It is sure to last at least another 25 years.

We finished 2nd! We finished 2nd!
And a lot of us PR'd that course!! (What about Scott and Jeff running the thing
in 14:xx minutes!! How about that?!) We scored 43 points with HOHA scoring 44.
The bonus points made a big difference. Again I want to thank our wonderful,
faithful team members. All of you!!
We had 18 JSRC team members there on
Saturday. Go team! Marilyn (a two point bonus scorer) came out yesterday after a
recent surgery. Now that's a dedicated XC champ! Bob Both, who hasn't missed a
single start, scored again as a much needed bonus point. Thanks Bob! And
finally, Larry Jones ran his first XC race this season (with or without the
doctor's approval) and scored as a bonus point. Thank you, Larry!
A special ATTA GIRL goes out to a
woman who has consistently finished as the FIRST JSRC XC female. Karen Charles.
Karen hasn't missed a single race and leads the way every week finishing up
there with the leaders. Many, many thanks Karen-your dedication is appreciated.
It was great to have John Brodsky join us for his first XC race this season, and
good to have Scott, Mary Beth, and Raman back. And you may or may not have
noticed a Phill Hinck look-alike floating around there on Saturday. We can
always use a cheering fan or two.
We are back at Tatum next week for
the Halloween Handicap race. Should be interesting. These are the scorers as I
understand it: Open Men: Jeff, Scott, John Papp Females: Karen, Charlotte
Masters: Gary, Mark Bonus: Marilyn, Bob, Larry.
Congratulations to Charlotte Barry
who has kept the spirit of the team up throughout the Series and has encouraged
many runners to come out. She has guided us all the way from a last place
finish the first week to second place.

Jersey Shore Relay Update
We Need Your Help to Continue This
Event
The Ninth Annual Jersey Shore Relay
to benefit Special Olympics is scheduled for April 16, 2005. An application will
be posted soon so save the date.. Last year's event drew over 1200 participants and over 200
teams but more importantly raised over $35,000 for Special Olympics. This
year's event will most likely be even bigger and better. The committee
planning the event will be holding its kick off meeting very soon. Yes, it
does take this long to plan and we need your help to keep the event going. If anyone would like to participate on the
committee please let us know. We can use help in many different areas and
the more volunteers we have the easier it is for everyone. No experience
required. If interested or to be placed on the distribution for the
meeting notification just drop us an email at jsrc@hotmail.com.
