Bowlegs 5K Winners, 1985-2009

The Billy Bowlegs 5K "Run For Scholarship" was started in 1985 by Dr. Leitch Wright. After his tragic and untimely death, Bill Hillison and Larry Giunipero took over race director duties in 1987. The 1987 race was billed as the "Wright Run For Scholarship," but after that year the race reverted to its original name. In 2002 the event became a Gulf Winds Track Club race.

The earliest editions of the race were run on a course on Florida State University's main campus (USATF FL88014BH), starting and finishing near Tully Gym. Eventually the directors moved the race to its current location, a course through Innovation Park (USATF FL95008DL) with the start and finish at the Florida A&M University / Florida State University College of Engineering. The Bowlegs 5K has always raised funds for scholarships awarded through the Faculty and Friends Club of FSU.

As best I've been able, I've listed the date, the top male and female overall, the fastest male and female master overall, and the number of recorded finishers. In some years the published results did not include the runners ages, so I wasn't able to determine who fastest masters were. Where possible, though, I always listed the fastest masters, and not who would have been given a masters' trophy based on a no-duplication-of-awards rule. I could argue that this is so later historians can more easily determine the masters records for the events, but it's really just my personal preference.

A big thank you to Rex Cleveland and Fred Deckert for their invaluable help in completing this list.

Patrick Swain wins 2009 "Breakfast on the Track" Mile

Holding off a homestretch challenge by John Robida, 2008 FHSAA-1A cross-country champion Patrick Swain won the annual "Breakfast on the Track" one-mile run, hosted by Gulf Winds Track Club on the Maclay School track on Saturday morning, 15 August 2009. Swain's time was 4:43.40, less than a second ahead of Robida's 4:44.04. For Swain, it was a payback of sorts--in the 2008 edition of the "Breakfast on the Track" he had finished fourth in 4:43.12, a single place behind Robida's 4:41.43. In this year's mile, Robida had led much of the early stages of the race, with Swain taking over the pace on the final lap, then fighting off Robida's surge in the last hundred meters.

The male masters also had a dramatic finish, but at the finish line it was Michael Martinez inching out defending masters' champion Jay Wallace for the title, 4:58.15 to 4:58.56. Martinez and Wallace finished fourth and fifth overall, respectively. Finishing sixth overall and winning the 2009 women's title was Jana "Stretch" Stolting of Maclay School, running 5:05.66. Stolting was less than four seconds ahead of women's runner up Stefanie Kurgatt, who finished tenth overall in 5:09.21. Kurgatt also runs for Maclay, and will start her freshman year there later this month. The top woman master was Jane Johnson, 45th overall in 6:12.37, well-ahead of the next over-40 woman, Nancy Stedman, who was 65th overall in 6:39.73.

The "Breakfast on the Track" is an annual track meet with one event, the one-mile run, run in multiple sections based on projected time. This year there were 177 finishers in nine sections. With the exception of women's master champion Jane Johnson, all of the titlists ran in the first section (runners projecting a finish time under 5:15), which somewhat later than the scheduled time of 7:45 am ET. Temperatures were mild for mid-August in north Florida with intermittent cloud cover. Athletes (and anyone else who happened by) were treated to a pancake breakfast after their race. Spectators saw some fine racing, and even the annoying pop music blaring over the public address system while the running was going on could not spoil the morning.

Reflections on the current state of the Apalachee Regional Park cross-country loop, 14 August 2009

While making a late afternoon stroll around the new cross-country running loop out at Apalachee Regional park, I made a few observations.

The starting area is still very nice. The ground is rough under the grass, but this isn't supposed to be a golf fairway. The grass itself is long, which is to be expected in Florida during a summer with nearly normal amounts of rainfall. If your grass wasn't mowed this morning, it probably needs mowing right now. There is really no way to keep all the grassy areas of the course mowed all year round, short of installing a large herd of sheep or goats in the park.

Speaking of ruminants, I saw my first deer on the course, a large doe that bounded across the starting area, proving that a talented runner can cover that part of the loop at a good clip. I've always seen deer tracks all over the loop, but had never actually seen one of the animals until today.

At the end of the starting field, there is now a 100-foot wide opening through the oak hammock, and the live oak canopy is undisturbed. However, the leaves and loose mulch need to be removed from the opening before athletes can use that avenue to run from one field to the next. Once that's done, the course should be able to accommodate races with hundreds of starters.

The crushed oyster shell surface on the third quarter mile of the loop is holding up well. The rain has washed very little of it away, and the loop here is more like a track than a cross-country course. On the fourth quarter mile, the meadow and the piney woods could use some mowing--but we've already discussed mowing.

Starting near the end of the first mile, a lot of small branches were down, most of which I picked up and threw off the trail. This is going to always be the case, especially on the jungle portions of the fifth and sixth quarter miles. In fact, after a big storm, you'll probably need a team with chainsaws to go in and clear the course of fallen limbs. This is the price you pay for running in the woods, and the only way to avoid paying that price is to have everyone run around treeless fields.

The causeway across the lowest spot of the course is still in great shape, over a hundred yards of fast running through the jungle over crushed oyster shells. The rest of the route through the jungle is holding up equally well except for the last hill, where the crushed oyster shell is being carried downhill toward Lake Lafayette during every rainfall. This stretch is either going to have to get a new load of oyster shell periodically--say once a year--or it's going to have to be dirt-and-leaves like the rest of the jungle.

The loop is easy to learn, but you have to be taught by someone else who already knows it. Without a few signs, anyone venturing out to Apalachee Regional Park on their own is not even going to suspect that there's a running loop on the grounds. And even if they know the loop is there, they're not going to be able to find it. Pin flags are a possible temporary way of marking the loop. Blaze marks painted on trees would be another, or strands of surveyor's ribbon. One Day there will certainly be handsome permanent signs and mileage marks on the loop, but right now there's nothing.

The loop is certainly not perfect, but it has a lot going for it and very little wrong with it that can't be fixed.

Questions about heat acclimatization and athletics

We're in the final laps of the southern summer, which means that I've had several months to think about the heat and how the body adapts to it. It's clear that the body does indeed adapt to performing in hot conditions, and I know what a few of those adaptations are, but there is a lot that I don't know about heat and athletic performance. I'm not sure if anyone knows.

How do you adapt to heat?
Obviously you're going to adapt to running in the heat if you get out and run in the heat. But is there anything else you can do? World-class runner Benji Durden had a reputation of getting out in the heat of the day and running in double sweatsuits. I can't say that I ever saw him actually doing this, but it's one of those great stories that the truth is never going to kill. Would such training increase the degree of heat adaptation, or cut down on the time required to adapt to heat? Durden was also rumored to sleep in a warm-up suit. This brings up the question of whether spending more time in the heat either hastens or increases heat adaptation. Should you avoid air conditioning? Wear flannel shirts? Drive around with the heater on?

Does a greater volume of training help?
If you run a lot of miles, it seems like it would increase metabolic efficiency (cutting down on the waste heat your body produces). At the very least, though, it should lower your body mass, decreasing the amount of energy your body needs to run and giving your body a more favorable surface-area-to-mass ratio for radiating heat (beach balls have a poor shape for heat radiation, so the less you look like one, the better). Are there other heat adaptation mechanisms that would be triggered by high mileage?

Does training in heat only get you ready to race in heat?
Assuming that the best way to prepare to race in heat is to train in heat, is there a more general benefit to training in the heat? This is an attractive idea if you're sweltering on the coast without the means to relocate to an altitude training camp. Altitude training seems to have some general benefits, so why not heat training? I've asked around, though, and haven't come up with any answers. I once spoke with Chuck Amato, an assistant football coach at Florida State University, when his players were in the middle of two-a-day August workouts, and asked him about the possible benefits of heat training. He shrugged. "We have to do the workouts, and it's hot." Maybe the University of Minnesota football squad is missing out on an advantage that the Florida schools have in the pre-season, but there doesn't seem to be any research that indicates so.

Does ability to adapt to heat decline with age?
This is something you start to think about as the miles and the years behind you add up. You'll find many older runners who say that they don't handle the heat as well as they did in their rosy youth, but is that true, or are their recollections blurred by the foggy lens of memory? Assuming that it is true, though, there are other age-related variable to consider--lighter training loads, slower pace (the same number of miles has you out in the heat longer), and, um, increased body mass. If there is a separate age-dependent factor in heat adaptation, it would be interesting to know what it is.

Those are some of the questions I think about when I'm sweating. If they haven't been answered yet, then they're going to need someone with an exercise physiology lab (and maybe some grant money) to settle. Budding scientists are welcome to any of these puzzles; send me a link to your dissertation when you've got a solution.

Modest Proposal #3,978

Clearly, the following signs have been less than effective in promoting safety for bicyclists:

Perhaps they should be replaced with these:

After all, it's clearly just a matter of putting up enough of the right kind of signs. Placing speed limit signs along the highway results in traffic moving at a safe speed; enforcement has never been necessary.

• Lots of new signs

Ninth annual Florida State University Cross Country Invitational, 4 October 1980

Back again with more "results from the attic." These are from the 1980 Florida State University Cross Country Invitational, held 4 October 1980 at FSU's Seminole Golf Course. This was one of, if not the, first year that college and open women and high school girls competed at the FSU Invitational, although it would still be one more year before women's cross country became an NCAA sport. So far as distances, the men ran 10,000 meters, the official NCAA distance, and the women ran 5,000 meters. The official FHSAA boys' cross-country distance was still three miles in 1980, but at the FSU Invitational the boys ran 5,000 meters, anticipating the current official cross-country distance in Florida. The high school girls ran two miles in accordance with the official FHSAA distance in 1980.

For the first time in many years, the FSU men won their own invitational. Perennial powerhouse Largo took the title in the high school boys race. Perusing the results of the races will reveal some names that will interest anyone familiar with Florida distance running in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

I've included team results generated by RaceTab, even though they're not identical to the team results published in 1980. I have a feeling the RaceTab results might actually be more accurate. At any rate, no titles seem to be involved.

Without further adieu...

• University Men 10,000 Meter Run
• Junior College Men 10,000 Meter Run
• Open Men 10,000 Meter Run
• University and Junior College Women 5000 Meter Run
• High School Boys 5000 Meter Run
• High School Girls Two Mile Run

2009 Fallen Heroes Run, Tallahassee, Florida

FSU distance runner Christian Minor cruised around the roads and trails of Tom Brown Park on the morning of 1 August 2009 to win the inaugural Fallen Heroes Run, an event organized by the North Florida chapter of Operation One Voice. Minor clocked 17:02 over the approximately 3.3-mile long course. His closest challenger was Maclay School cross-country coach Gary Droze, the top master finisher at 18:23. The fastest woman in the race was Olivia Swedberg, who finished ninth overall in 22:07. Teresa LaFleur was the top master woman finisher in the Fallen Heroes run at 25:30.

Like many of the runners in the race, Minor was surprised to learn that the course was longer than the posted 5K. "I passed three miles in 15:15, which is 5:05 pace," said Minor. "And then I was 17:02 at the finish, which would be a lot slower." The course was variously described as 3.26, 3.27, and 3.3 miles long, all of which are significantly farther than 5 kilometers, which would be 3.11 miles. Most of the course was on the Tom Brown Park section of the Goose Pond Trail, a ten-foot wide paved multi-use trail.

There were 164 recorded finishers in the race.
