Mark your calendar for the LITF Outdoor Championships. They will be held on June 11^th and 12^th at Farmingdale H> S. There will be some great competition that day since it is also the Open Empire State Trials. You can compete in an event, officiate or volunteer. To officiate you will need your official’s card which you can get from LITF (see Joe Cordero for details on how to become certified). To volunteer contact the LITF office and give your name or just show up. They always need help at registration, and, of course, there is the “zem gardening” as Pat Satenstein calls the raking of the pit for the long and triple jump.

Masters Corner

Congratulations to all who ran and puddle jumped the ½ marathon and marathon. Once again BTC had a great showing at the awards table. Starting with Rudy Afanador’s third place over-all finish of 2:50:27 to the 1^st place age group finish of A Denis (W50) 1:49:11; Betty Horstmann (W60) 1:45:33, and Joe Cordero (M65) 1:36:11. The third place finish of Jose Mendez (M65) 1:42:51, Rene Marcucci 3:13:27 and Frank Pellegrino 3:23:43. Unfortunately, the picnic was frozen out, damp, rainy and cold. The ½ marathoners could not hang out waiting for the marathoners to finish. Hopefully, we will have better weather next year. The full results for all BTC runners can be found in the race results section of the newsletter.

Here is a challenge to all: Form a Team

It is not too late to form a team for the 2006 WALT DISNEY WORLD* Marathon Weekend. Form a group of 3-5 runners and compete for team awards! (Please note that this is not a relay). To register as a team, all runners must register for the same race individually). Team members then must complete a team entry form. In addition to being eligible to compete for team prizes, team members will receive a special team bib number, acess to the Team Reunion area at the Finish Line and exclusive Team “Check-In at Disney’s Health and Fitness Expo.

Goofy’s race and a Half Challenge

Are you Goofy enough to take on the biggest challeng in WALT DISNEY WORLD* Marathon history? With the Half Marathon taking place on Saturday, and the Marathon run on Sunday, several athletes are taking the ultimate challenge and running them both. If you are looking for a new way to experience the WALT DISNEY WORLD* Marathon Weekend, we invite you to be a part of Goofy’s Race and a Half Challenge. Athletes who complete both the Half Marathon and the Marathon will receive the first ever Goofy Medal, in addition to receiving the Donald Medal for the Half Marathon and the Mickey Medal for the Full Marathon. The challenge has been made, you too can be Goofy enough to accept! To be a part of the first ever Goofy’s Race and a Half Challenge, simply sign up for both the Half Marathon and the Marathon.

I have already signed up for both. Who will join me??? Rudy?, Tim?, Betty?, Alex?, Joan?, Mike?, Jose?, Jay?

The May meeting: I had a tentative program scheduled for May. However, the person had a change in her work schedule and cannot make the meeting. Unless someone steps up and talks about some amazing “feat” he/she have participated in, there will be no guest speaker this month.

MEMBERSHIP NEWS

MAY 2005

Randy Salamone designed a software program for race results. It was tested at the last meeting and is now ready to use at our upcoming “Buddy Run.” The BTC thanks Randy for all of his work.

Rudy Afanador, Jay Masten and Charlie Watts recently ran in the Boston Marathon. We know how hard they must have trained for this hilly course.

I received some news from Barbara Galpin, who now resides in Florida. Barbara is the swim captain for the Relay for Life team in the Villages where she lives. Barbara is also doing the Senior Games in Florida and in June she will be in Pittsburgh for the Nationals. She qualified in a number of events. We look forward to seeing Barbara this summer when she visits Long Island.

Many members have memberships which are expiring. Please check to see if you have paid your dues. It would make my job much easier if your dues were paid January 1^st. You can pro-rate your dues if you paid at another time of the year. Call me now at 803-0589 if you have any questions about your membership.

BTC SPEED SESSIONS 2005

Join us at the Connetquot Track for speed work this year. We will begin our official workouts on Wednesday, June 22 at 6:15pm. Plan on your warm-up and stretching until 6:30. Bring water, a towel and clothes to change into if you plan on going to Saviano’s for pizza after the workout. Estella Clasen and Joe Cordero will be running the sessions.

The workout is for all levels! Walkers are also welcomed. We will be breaking into several groups according go ability. The following are some suggestions for the speed training.

1. Always warm up before doing anything fast. A light jog or fast walk is the best way to warm up. Follow this with some light stretching.

2. This is a speed workout, not a race! The goal is to learn pace and maintain pace. Run your 400 meter lap at 5-10 seconds faster than your 5K race pace.

3. We usually do interval speedwork. The interval actually refers to the rest interval. The rest interval can be a jog or a walk. As you become fitter, you can decrease the amount of rest you take.

4. All of your 400s should be about the same. If you do six 400 meter intervals, all six should be within a couple seconds of each other.

5. Try to run the intervals with several other people. Misery loves company.

6. Please stay to the outside lanes when doing your recovery lap. Watch out for other people on the track.

7. Cool down like you would warm up, jog or walk and then stretch.

8. Join us at Saviano’s for pizza. Who feels like cooking after all that hard work!

***Every week there will be a suggested workout. Feel free to modify the workout. Remember to listen to your body

RUDY RACES UPDATE MAY, 05

Besides dodging ice and snow this winter Rudy did keep busy doing a few races and keeping in shape for the upcoming race season. At the Caumsett 50 K he ran a 3:41 to come in 4^th overall and 1st master. At the Ocean Drive Marathon in New Jersey he ran a 2:50, again 4^th overall and 1^st master. At Boston Rudy, with a time of 2:48:45, placed 216th overall the 201st male and 28^th in his division. As those of us who were at the finish line at the Long Island Marathon saw, Rudy was 3rd overall, and 1^st in his age group with a time of 2:50:27.

Badwater isn’t on the agenda this year but we will keep you posted once his plans are completed.

Email Newsletter

We are sending some members their newsletter by email. This effort will save the environment by using less paper and it will not clutter your house, unless you choose to print up a hard copy for yourself. at the same time it will save the club a few bucks in paper, envelopes, ink and stamps. Should you chose to join this email group simply email me at fwh2@aol.com and you will not receive any more mail from me.

Betty Horstmann

Don't forget the Buddy Run on May 22nd. Please join us either running for volunteering or better still - BOTH! We will be gathering again at Dowling College at 7am and hope to have wonderful weather and a great crew of volunteers and lots of buddies to do the running - my son and daughter will be there running! As always, thanks for all of your help with this classic race.
