Trying To Take The Joy Out Of Announcing The Texas 10 Series

As I've shared much here lately, I've cleared many dates from my announcing calendar to free up some time.  Some of those were The Woodlands Township races as well as the Pearland Half Marathon and 10K, which was today.

All of those races were great to work with the respective race producers and when I walked off the grounds, I had a check waiting for a job well done.

I've ended up announcing, however, the last two races of the Texas 10 Series -- Bridgeland last month and Huntsville today.

The one in Huntsville was the very last one ever.  

I announced the very first one in 2013 and did the following two - 2014 and 2015, before I took a break from the Series.  

These two races here in 2022 that I've stepped in to help are because Nathan Beedle, who's part of the team that puts the races on, hasn't been able to announce.

I went out to Bridgeland to spectate and race director Willie Fowlkes said he was going to have to announce.  

He needs to be on the course.  

So I said, "Willie, do you want for me to announce?"  

We came to an agreement and I did and he was grateful and thankful.

In between, we had The Woodlands Marathon on its two weekends and had a great year.  

The owners were overly pleased with my performance and I'm looking forward to 2023.

Fast forward to today's race.  I had no plans to announce before yesterday morning.

I had reached out to Willie very early Friday morning and asked him if there was a place on the course that he needed somebody strong to help with traffic control.  

He shared some challenges that the event was having and that he was going to Huntsville that day to go through the course for construction and would let me know.

Sometime Saturday morning (yesterday), he reached out and asked if I could announce.  

I said that I would.  Honestly, I love doing it, but not as many times a year as I used to and I like to be the one making the choice on a one-off basis as opposed to making a multi-race commitment for an entire series all at once.

I had good days at both races.

At Bridgeland, it was cold and the timer couldn't get the laptop going on the reader so I was only able to announce the names of the people that I knew.  (Best to get to know your announcer in a situation like that if you like your name announced.)

For the remainder of the time, I just kept making general announcements and offered encouragement to all of the other runners.

Today, we missed a few of the 5K finishers' names because the data file on the laptop only picked up the numbers of the bibs and not the names with it.

RunFar's Raul Najera got the issue resolved in a very quick fashion.

I'm pretty much universally well-respected for my ability and talent.  

And for the most part, I believe that I'm generally well-liked.

I have some very dear friends, who either make it a point to come say Hi! - Ray Sarno is one of them that comes to mind, while others - like James Griffis did today - make a positive comment on Facebook.  They're both nice and well appreciated.  

At Bridgeland, James Griffis was Mike Kuykendall.

Also at Bridgeland, I got a friendly hug from somebody in my friend Bill Dwyer's group who has lived out of the country for a few years and I haven't seen them since their family moved back here to The Woodlands.  While I didn't interact with them much, it was good to see them - and they were friendly to and with me and had a short, positive and pleasant conversation.

For all of those good things, I usually have a challenge that nobody ever really sees.

This challenge has existed since just after Thanksgiving 2020 and it isn't one of my own doing.

A person was a little loose with some words.  

I asked for some of their time in response to it - and I knew what the answer was going to be - and instead of a conversation, "Hey, I think I might have misspoke or misconstrued something," I was ghosted - in person.

It was one thing not to respond to a Facebook message - even though there had been communication just the Saturday before, but to show up in person at an event a week later and say nothing?  

Wow.  Pretty harsh.

There's a whole lot of stuff between then (end of November 2020) and today that I won't go into, but I've never been as disrespected, devalued and dehumanized as a person as this one participant has done to me.

I've taken measures in between that time, as well as years in the past before, to protect myself in similar fashion.

All I can fathom is that they didn't like that I chose to protect myself from their behavior.

I have my assumptions what the definition of the person's behavior is, but I can't say.

I offered to meet face-to-face to resolve it, and they claimed that there was nothing to resolve, totally discounting my concerns.  (Again, it was still some of their time.  I mean I don't know how else to resolve a problem if you had or wanted to desire a friendship.)

So they boxed me in a position that if I pushed the envelope, they could wildly make a claim of stalking (which I would never put myself in that position) so I kept my distance, even though they 1.) acknowledged my presence on the course of a race in April in Conroe (I didn't respond) with a single "Jon" and then 2.) made a post of a picture of me talking with a friend - who has helped me immensely through this - and put it on their running group's Instagram story.

Because this individual is in my best friend's group, and even though I'm not officially in the group, I have some support roles for his group.

I totally left that group for 90 days from mid-May to mid-August.  

Didn't even talk to my best friend during that time.

In late November, we were at Texas 10 Conroe together and I continued to maintain my no contact position.  

I hate(d) it, but if you're going to take advantage of me and not be a genuine friend I can't let you in.

A week later at a little club race, I was there and they arrived after me.  

I was prepared to positively engage, and extend grace, but they chose to walk off.  

Because they had their high school age daughter there with them, I left after the race once it started for there not to be a potential scene in front of her child.  

I have too much respect for that young lady to be involved in a situation that I didn't choose to start.

Not a thing transpired, other than writing some things for my best friend's running group, which included them, until after the Bridgeland race.

The last finishers were coming in.  They had come up from behind and presumably waited until I turned around and asked if I wanted something to drink.  I didn't and I shook my head.

They said that they just wanted to thank me for the shout out and I said, "It is what I do."  I'm professional.  I don't hold any personal difference in the doing of my "job", even if I volunteered.  

(I had, for full disclosure, not with this individual, limited what I said at a race for poor behavior aimed at my best friend in the community more than two years ago.)

I realized that it might have been curt so I tried to reach out during the week via Facebook Messenger - and I didn't notice until right before The Woodlands Marathon that they were ignoring them.  

My message said "Sent" and not "seen".

I took some measures to protect myself once again.

And then today happened.  

They never made eye contact.  

Even with me standing in the chute and before I announced their name, I tried to extend grace and say, "Go Runner!" and I got no eye contact.  

Nothing.

I have prayed as much as I can for this individual and their family that God will meet their needs.

I will have to double down my efforts.

I would meet anywhere, any place, any time to discuss and resolve whatever it is they have.

I'm a very simple man who attempts to respect and care for everybody that I come in contact with.  

I know that you can't please everybody, but I'm not going to give up the things that I love to be involved in.  And the natural "fight or flight" response is to give up.

Nor am I going to give up the friendships that I have with other people because of their behavior, but it is the hardest thing that I've ever gone through in my life.

If all happens accordingly, I won't announce another race until high school cross country season and then the Houston Half and Run Thru The Woods.

I will be out at Barry Blanton's Ironman aid station as I support his efforts much like I have done Steve and Paula Boone's Texas Marathon over the years because they tell me what I do is something that the athletes enjoy.

Those of you who are friendly to me, I genuinely thank you.  

I covet those friendships and I enjoy when I get the chance to interact and engage.

And for anybody else, I have no more words for, but again, I'll just pray to ask for God to meet your needs.  He's not going to love you any more or any less so it would be a waste of my breath to ask Him of that for you, but He knows what you need in your life and I just pray that He will do that for you.

Leskow easily wins men's We Are Houston 5K while Sorensen edges Schrader for women's title

Embracing the cooler weather and windy conditions - as if it were a home course advantage - to win Saturday's We Are Houston 5K in downtown Houston was Conshohocken, Pennsylvania native Aaron Leskow.

The 30-year-old, who was a middle distance specialist at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia, easily grabbed the title over Sugar Land resident J.P. Machemel with a commanding 39-second advantage in 15:27.

Machemel, 37, the former Texas A&M Aggie who like Leskow ran the middle distances there, finished in 16:06 with more of advantage - namely a minute and seven seconds - over third place finisher Zachary Madsen, 14, of Houston.

Madsen is a freshman at Clear Lake High School where he won the UIL 6A District 24 junior varsity cross country title in a similar time of 17:14 -- a second slower than today's showing.

Former University of Houston Cougar cross country and track athlete Meredith Sorensen, 24, held off former Baylor Bear Bree Schrader, 28, by two seconds to take the women's title in 17:55.

Third overall in a time of 18:21 was 35-year-old New York City resident Jessica Chichester, who is running tomorrow's Aramco Houston Half Marathon.

Fifth overall at the 2018 Boston Marathon, Chichester qualified for and finished the 2020 United States Olympic Marathon Trials in Atlanta, Georgia in 2:45:49.

Wheelchair division winners were Kingwood's Jacob Allen, 20, and Tucson, Arizona's Chelsea Stein, 18, in times of 12:39 and 17:11, respectively.  Both athletes will be competing in tomorrow's Chevron Houston Marathon.

Winning the Handcyclist division were Cypress' Jeff Chaffin, 41, and League City's Alyssa Brodeur, 24, with marks of 12:16 and 20:53.  Chaffin is entered in the handcycle division of the Chevron Houston Marathon on Sunday.

Athletes with Disabilities with Guide winning athletes were Jackson, Michigan's Lucas Crisanti, 24, and Houston's Briana Fuller, 33, in 21:40 and 28:38.  Crisanti will be in the marathon on Sunday while Fuller will compete in the half marathon.

The Mobility Impaired athlete division was won by Saratoga Springs, Utah's Jeff Waldmuller, 37, and Houston's Sagirah Ahmed Norris, 32, in 21:39 and 33:27.  Waldmuller will be in the marathon while Norris will be in the half marathon tomorrow.

St. Louis, Missouri's Nick Silver, 36, and Houston's Kellie Dewveall, 54, won the Visually Impaired athlete divisions in 25:12 and 32:32, respectively.  Silver will run the half marathon tomorrow while Dewveall will compete in the marathon.

Just Some Notables For This Weekend's Races In Houston!

Just some notables that have bibs for this weekend's We Are Houston 5K, Aramco Houston Half Marathon and the Chevron Houston Marathon.  And just because someone is in the database doesn't guarantee that they'll run!

Enjoy!

Former KTRK-TV Channel 13 anchor and current KEYE-TV anchor (in Austin) ADELA UCHIDA will be running her sixth career Chevron Houston Marathon - to go with three Aramco Houston Half Marathons.  Her marathon PR came here in Houston in 2012 with a time of 3:53:29.

KTRK Channel 13 reporter JESSICA WILLEY will be running the marathon on Sunday, which will be her fourth Chevron Houston Marathon after finishing in 2016, 2017 and her Boston qualifier in 2019 of 3:38:36.  She also has fourth in-person Aramco Houston Half Marathons to her credit (2013, 2015, 2018 and 2020).

Harris County Judge LINA HIDALGO will be aiming to finish her third Chevron Houston Marathon - not counting last year's virtual effort.  She ran 4:14:26 in 2019 and 4:12:05 in 2020.

Last year's winner of The Woodlands Marathon who was disqualified for not going to a turnaround spot midway through the race MCKALE MONTGOMERY will be running the marathon on Sunday.  She later finished the Grandma's Marathon in 2:36:56 and the Chicago Marathon in 2:43:04.

Humble's STEVE BOONE has drawn bib number 800 as he will be running his 800th career marathon on Sunday.  He has run 34 consecutive Houston Marathons, dating back to 1988, including last year's virtual effort.

Also going for a milestone marathon is Houston's SUZY SEELEY as she will toe the line for her 300th career marathon on Sunday.  She has completed 25 Chevron Houston Marathons - consecutive from 1995 to 2019 - as well as the Aramco Houston Half Marathon in 2020.

BCS Marathon founder and race director CHRIS FIELD will be aiming for his seventh Chevron Houston Marathon finish.  Three years ago, Chris ran his best time at Houston with a sharp 3:08:42, down from his debut at Houston in 2010 which was a time of 4:46:09.  He has also run the Aramco Houston Half Marathon once in 1:30:18.

Former University of Houston Cougar and The Woodlands Christian Academy head cross country and track and field coach TOM EARLE.  He is running in the event for the first time since 1986 when he ran the marathon in 3:37:06!

Waco Miracle Marathon race director NANCY GOODNIGHT is on deck - a week after doing the 100K at Bandera and running the Texas Marathon the Saturday before - for her fourth career Houston Marathon.  Her first was in 2002, where she ran the race in 4:12:37.  Her last two outings in 2019 and 2020 were times of 3:49:14 and 3:28:32, respectively.

San Antonio Central Catholic and Providence Catholic head cross country coach GARY BRIMMER will be running the Aramco Houston Half Marathon on Sunday and will be in his first event here since 1998 when he ran the marathon in 2:49:49, good for 78th overall.

Not listed in the event's press release announcing its elite fields (which could mean also that she's withdrawn) is 2016 Olympics gold medalist in the triathlon - and two-time Olympian - GWEN JORGENSEN, who would have brought a 1:10:58 PR to the half marathon field.  But super sleuth Ed Fry went to Gwen's Instagram for more:  "Thrilled to be back to pain free running. After almost a month of mystery pain I had a bursa drained next to my plantar. This was causing a ton of pain that was assumed to be plantar fasciitis but my gut told me that wasn’t true. I’m grateful to people around me that never give up."

Former marathon winners who have a bib and are listed in the app:

225 - Clent Mericle (1975 tie, 1977)

915 - Benji Durden (1982)

6306 - Adriana Fernandez Miranda (1996)

103 - Biruktayt Eshetu Degefa (2016, 2018, 2019)

In the We Are Houston 5K on Saturday,

51720 - Montgomery Lake Creek's Carter Gordy (12th in UIL 5A XC)

2022 Chevron Houston Marathon and Aramco Houston Half Marathon Women's Single-Age Race Preview

The last four years, The Woodlands High School freshman Stoya Laydevant has run the Aramco Houston Half Marathon and Sunday she's gearing up for her fifth trip of the course.

2017 - 10 - 2:24:18 (11th)

2018 - 11 - 1:55:07 (3rd)

2019 - 12 - 1:51:08 (2nd)

2020 - 13 - 1:45:29 (4th)

And when she runs on Sunday, she'll be aiming to see where she stands against the best of the 15-year-olds who have ever run the event.

Tulsa, Oklahoma's Terri Cassel, a physical therapist with a deep running and triathlon background, is registered to run the Aramco Houston Half Marathon and the 60-year-old age group mark could be ripe for the taking.

Cassel, who has run the Aramco Houston Half Marathon four of its last five runnings, has three single age marks -- 54, 55, and 58 - with times of 1:29:58, 1:32:51 and 1:29:34.

The top 60-year-old mark to date was by Houston's Joann Peeks in 2012 with a time of 1:39:58.

In 2018, Cassel had run the distance in 1:28:38 and held the 56-year-old single age mark, but Phoenix, Arizona's Susan Loken obliterated that mark with a 1:23:02 in 2020.

Speaking of Loken, who is running the marathon on Sunday in her second ever appearance here, she could easily grab the 58-year-old single age mark in the marathon.

Loken ran here in Houston in 2012 during the United States Olympic Marathon Team Trials, the last of the three times that she qualified.  She finished in 3:05:11.

According to marathonguide.com, her last two marathons were in 2019 where she ran 2:55:20 and 2:25:09 in the City of Los Angeles Marathon and Grandma's Marathon, respectively.

The 58-year-old single age best?  Beaumont's Joyce Gaskin ran 3:32:06 in 1996 with some great local names in the list behind her:  Pam Butler (2nd), Ann Erickson (3rd), Plano's Marylyn Patrick (4th), Suzy Seeley (6th) and Barbara Stoll (7th).

It is also very possible that Katy's Lynn Malloy gives the 61-year-old single age mark in the half marathon a test.

Two years ago, Lynn set the single age mark in the 59-year-old category with a time of 1:38:02.

Colleyville's Debbie Clark ran 1:37:29 in 2014, breaking the 1:38:00 mark of Ann Erickson's that had stood since 2004.

Lynn's progression as a runner at the Chevron Houston Marathon and Aramco Houston Half Marathon has actually been quite impressive.  According to houstonresults.com, here are those times:

2011 - 50 - 4:51:29 - marathon

2012 - 51 - 3:54:52 - marathon

2013 - 52 - 3:41:01 - marathon (10 AG)

2014 - 53 - 3:52:57 - marathon

2015 - 54 - 4:00:31 - marathon

2016 - 55 - 3:23:57 - marathon (1 AG; 6th all-time single age)

2018 - 57 - 1:38:09 - half marathon (2 AG; 2nd all-time single age)

2019 - 58 - 1:35:55 - half marathon (1 AG; 2nd all-time single age)

2020 - 59 - 1:38:02 - half marathon (5 AG; 1st all-time single age)

Spring's Peggy Yetman is entered in the marathon.

The last time she ran it was in 2020 when she set a single-age best for 51-year-old women with a time of 2:58:07, shattering the previous best of Newington, Connecticut's Josephine Marchetti, who ran 3:06:18 in 1995.

Sunday will be her fifth appearance in the marathon to go with three in the half marathon.

2007 - 38 - 3:06:05 - marathon (5 AG)

2008 - 39 - 2:52:18 - marathon (3 AG; 17th all-time single age)

2009 - 40 - 1:18:43 - half marathon (2 AG; 3rd all-time single age; 12th all-time 40-44 age group)

2011 - 42 - 3:01:19 - marathon (3 AG; 8th all-time single age)

2018 - 49 - 1:22:21 - half marathon (2 AG; 1st all-time single age; 9th all-time 45-49 age group)

2019 - 50 - 1:26:26 - half marathon (1 AG; 2nd all-time single age; 3rd all-time 50-54 age group)

2020 - 51 - 2:58:07 - marathon (2 AG; 1st all-time single age; 5th all-time 50-54 age group)

It's solid to say that Peggy will at least move into second in the 53-year-old single age mark for the marathon as Barbara Stoll's time from 2015 in 3:15:30.

The 53-year-old record holder is Leon, Mexico's Regina Yamin, who ran 2:57:42 in 2018.

Just this past October, she won the 55-59 age group at the London Marathon in a time of 2:57:56!

Houston's Ute Eisele is registered for the half marathon at the age of 78.  

She has finished 12 Chevron Houston Marathons, the last one coming in 2017 when she posted the best 73-year-old women's mark of 5:25:58.  The only time that she ran the half in Houston as in 2006 when she finished in 2:04:38 at age 62.

To date, there's only been six women - Pamela Willmon (2018), Marsha Smith (2014), Adeline "Addie" Kephart (2007), Marcie McCaskill (2003), Rosie Elgueta (2017) and Betsy Chapman (2020) - to have finished the half marathon at the age of 78.

Willmon, who last Saturday ran the Texas Marathon as an 82-year-old, holds the best time in the single age division in 2:46:36.

It is uncertain if Willmon is for sure registered for the half marathon on Sunday.  There's an entry in the Chevron Houston Marathon app for a "Pame Willmon".

She ran the marathon in 1996 and has run the half marathon six times, not counting the 2021 virtual time that is in the Chevron Houston Marathon's results database.  

She would record a finish in her fourth different decade on Sunday.

Speaking of Kingwood's Chapman, she is registered for her 12th half marathon, with her first one coming in 2008 at the age of 66.  The last nine have come in consecutive years, 2012-2020.

Likewise, when Chapman finishes, she will be just the seventh female to record a finish at the age of 80 in the half marathon.

Inaugural Vintage Park New Year's Day Classic A Success

2022's the year Ron Stitt is becoming his own man.

He always was in the physical sense, of course, but from the event producer perspective, the Vintage Park New Year’s Day Classic 5K and 10K was the first where the buck stopped with him.

After having left the company that acquired the Run Houston Race Series and the Bayou City Half Marathon Series, as expected, Stitt’s first event under his new HTX Events brand was a smashing success.

Prior to the pandemic on New Year’s Day, Stitt was the caretaker of the Run Houston! Sam Houston Race Park event, which debuted with 823 finishers in 2015, hit a high of 1,700 in 2017 and had settled in with 1,110 in 2020 (352 in the 10K, 722 in the 5K and 36 in a Kids 1K/1M).

Observers were waiting to see how many Stitt would be able to carry with him to his new company – and, apparently, nearly half, even though it still seems that those who raced regularly before the pandemic haven’t completely returned to live racing.

The brand-new Vintage Park New Year’s Day Classic saw 156 cross the finish in the 5K, including four in the wheelchair division, 255 in the 10K and another 19 in the Kids’ 1K.

Spring’s Tyler Blackburn, 27, and Cypress’ Martina Dujic, 37, were the initial winners of the 10K with respective winning times of 36:12 and 42:59.

A pair of master’s runners – Spring’s Patrick Wills, 41, and Tomball’s Brian Gray, 55 – rounded out the men’s top three as they followed in times of 37:45 and 39:10.

The ladies followed suit as Houston’s Tuongvi Cao, 46, and Katy’s Yan Liu, 51, were second and third overall for the women in 45:10 and 47:30, respectively.

In the 5K, Hockley’s John Brown, 24, and Houston’s Daniela Castillo Sabido, 21, captured victories wih efforts of 18:17 and 19:36.

Brown held off 43-year-old Cypress native Curtis Hale by 15 seconds as he crossed in 18:32 followed seven seconds later by Tomball’s Mark Coalmer, 51, in 18:39.

Sabido, who finished fifth among all competitors, was never challenged by the rest of the women in the field.

Second place overall went to former Cypress Creek HS athlete Rachel Goebel, 19, from Houston, who finished in 22:43 – 15 seconds in front of former Houston Cougar Erika Sampson, 48, who stopped the clock in 22:58.

Michael Saldivar, 24, of Houston and Spring’s Chelsea Stein, 18, won the wheelchair division of the 5K in times of 19:30 and 35:34, respectively.

Enzo Nunez, 9, and Houston’s Launa Flore, 10, were first in the kids’ 1K in 3:46 and 4:11.

HTX Events’ next event will be on Sunday, April 10, 2022 with the Vintage Park 13.1 Half Marathon.
