Coming This Weekend

The ninth annual Gusher Marathon, Half Marathon and 5K and its two companion events will be on Saturday in Beaumont.

And the seventh annual The Woodlands Marathon, Half Marathon and 5K will also be on Saturday.

And I'll be at neither of them.

For the past seven years, I've been in Beaumont.  I ran the half marathon in year two and announced the race the past six.

Last year, both events were on the same day as they are this year.

I was on The Woodlands Marathon race committee for its first four years (2012-2015), but stepped away in 2016 when I didn't know if I would be able to fulfill my duties on race day (as I was working for a hospital that was going to bring live a new EMR on race day weekend).

I ended up jumping in and helping at the last minute when my replacement had some last-minute conflicts -- and assisted the race in handling a crisis involving the SAT being on the same morning with the testing site right along the race route (early in the race).

I was told by Gusher Marathon co-race director Richard James at the conclusion of the 2016 race that they were going to go back to their original date - the first Saturday in March - for 2017.

I informed Richard that I would be there.

Sometime during the summer of 2016, I was asked - via text - if I was interested in announcing The Woodlands Marathon.

My primary reason that I declined is because I gave Richard my word, but my thought was, "Really, you couldn't pick up the phone and ask me?"

I got wind of some other changes that the race was making and I thought that I was being asked because I was cheaper than the two individuals – great announcers – that they were bringing in from Austin.

Cheaper fee, I’m sure, and no hotel costs needed.

Nonetheless, it was hard to be away last year.

My best friend, Bill Dwyer, manages the finish line.

After I had a flat at about mile five on race morning of the 2016 - and after walking my bike back, I just hung out with Bill for the remainder of the morning and early afternoon – encouraging and cheering on runners.

I thought about doing the same, but I've pared my announcing down so that I could go out and race more.

Therefore, even though it isn't a race in a new city or town, I'll be running the FRESH 15K in Tyler on Saturday morning.

It is Brookshire Grocers' fifth straight year to produce the event and each of the last three, their numbers have grown.

They have more than 1,000 finishers in both the 15K and the 5K.

So why not in Beaumont?

I’m not sure that I can answer that well.

Richard kind of gave me an out in November when he asked if I was still coming for their Pleasure Island Bridge Half Marathon.

For that race, I’m a luxury (meaning that it doesn’t need me to run well).

Other than announcing, the thing that I think that I contribute well is that I manage the start line timeline as well as anybody out there.

So I opted out of that and then I struggled for about a month before I told Richard in person that I wasn’t planning on returning for the Gusher.

The biggest thing is that working the Gusher is an almost all-day proposition – two-hour drive over, 30 minutes setup, an hour pre-race work, six hour race time, 30 minutes break down and two-hour drive back.

As I’m getting older, I’m more wiped out the following day.

I can perform and nobody knows any different, but I’ve dropped races because I’m just not having the kind of fun that I’ve had in the past.

Does it mean that I’m afraid of work?  Absolutely not.  Announcing and the prep to do so very well is work – and some more than people realize.

So we’ll see.

Nonetheless, it is nice when I go places, like Fleet Feet at Hughes Landing on Monday afternoon, and when I walk in and they go, “Are you announcing The Woodlands on Saturday?”

To those reading and running either The Woodlands or Gusher tomorrow, run well and have fun.

I’m going to try and do the same where I will be.

Texas' Fastest Marathon Courses: Updated

Back on December 17, 2015, I inspected the average finishing time of each and every Texas road marathon (but maybe not every trail race that has a marathon distance).

Most races are listed in marathonguide.com and the data is able to be obtained from their site.  Three marathons -- Amarillo, Irving and the Hill Country Marathon -- I obtain the results independently.

And as I stated before, the debate over a "fastest course" would only be settled if the same person ran all of the courses in the exact same conditions (training, race day temperature, field, etc.).

And that, of course, just isn't going to happen.

Since the last time I calculated the totals, six races have gone by the wayside (see the list below) and Beach To Bay Marathon in Corpus Christi added an individual competition in 2016.

Frankenthon Monster Marathon was unable to get "permits and permission worked out" last October and we'll wait for an update if they'll return in 2018.

Harlingen goes from a half to the marathon distance, moving from November to February.

Lubbock is adding a marathon - its second, following the Panhandle Marathon, which was a Mellew Productions race that ran for three years from 2012-2014.

It looks like the Silo District Marathon ($150 registration) in Waco will come into being on Sunday, May 6 - course unseen for the moment - and Dane Rauschenberg is going to produce a 104 times around the track marathon ($110 right now) in Texline, Texas on a Friday (no they don't play football in Texline) - the opening weekend of Texas high school football in 2018 - as part of a series of five marathons in five states in five days.  All on oval tracks.

You'll see in the list below two times for The Woodlands Marathon.

Last year, the course turned out to be short after a lead official missed a turn cutting 0.8 miles off the course.  I took the average time of those grabbed by marathonguide.com and ran it through the pace calculator that I use at coolrunning.com to get a new adjusted time for The Woodlands.

All that said, these are the average times by races within the same groups of numbers of finishers using the data from their last completed race:

1,000 finishers or over
4:27:26 - Chevron Houston Marathon (2018:  6,710 finishers)
4:38:39 - BMW Dallas Marathon (2017:  2,818 finishers)

2017 Year in Review

66 - Races Run
27 - Races Announced (counting Seabrook as three as there was a race on three days)
  2 - Media (Chevron Houston Marathon and TX State Homeschool XC Meet)
  2 - DNS (10K, Marathon at time of Hurricane Harvey)
  2 - DNF (10M, Marathon)
  3 - Cheering runners on
  1 - Volunteer (Announcing at Barry Blanton's run aid station at Memorial Hermann Ironman Texas)

So basically, I appeared in some way, shape or form at 103 races in 2017.

And, actually, the races run and the races announced could have been a few more.

Honestly, the number was a little elevated this year because of my work northwest of Fort Worth. 

Seven times I stopped to do the Thursday night 5K on the Trinity Trails that was produced by the Cox Running Club. 

Although one other year here recently, I was at 104; therefore, it isn't a record.

36 - Races that were new to me.
11 - Races run in new Texas cities or towns, bringing the total to 137.
  4 - Races run in new North American cities or towns, outside of Texas, bringing that total to 163.

I tried to get to 50 "new races to me" this year to match the number of years old that I turned in January, but going down with a tight piriformis muscle that pulled my pelvis out of line in mid-September limited that some.

Performance-wise, things all went down hill after the 2:06:09 Revel Mount Charleston Half Marathon in Las Vegas the last Saturday in April.

Had a 2:13 and a 2:15 half on pretty flat courses in cold weather in late January and late February, respectively, in Sugar Land and Victoria.

I think the most fun that I had all year was the wazUPwidis 3.25-mile urban run/1,000 stair climb on a very cold morning in Roanoke, Virginia this February with Waverly.

We also had a good time at the seventh annual Cutters 5K in Williamsport, Pennsylvania in late June when we went back to visit my 92-year-old grandmother and her great-grandmother.

Another interesting and fun event was the Dam Night Run 5K in Arkadelphia, Arkanas - a fast downhill 5K.

I would give a Race Director of the Year award to Lauren Stroud, followed closely by Nancy Goodnight.  I ran two races of each of these ladies. 

Lauren does a really good job and just needs to get her help into a routine and gaining the confidence to know what decisions to make - to lessen her load a little bit.  That comes with time and experience.  You owe it to yourself to run one of Lauren's races, if at a minimum because the courses are pancake flat.

Nancy, on the other hand, will make each one of her races uniquely difficult, but she is about the only person that I know that has as much exuberant energy as Nancy is Patty Godfrey.

Good move by Robby Sabban to pick up Patty to announce for his Running Alliance Sport races. 

I know that some people are disappointed I no longer work RAS races, but Patty does an admirable job.  Great voice, a lot of excitement; different approach, but committed to the same type of professionalism and excellence that I seek to create.

I was really fortunate to get an opportunity to handle the finish line for the Houston Half Marathon.  I'm certainly eager to have that chance again in 2018.

And, of course, my most cherished races are the two cross country meets that I do for Sam Houston State University and the two that I do for The Woodlands High School boys program.

They wear me out more than any other race, but the way I see it:  there's only four UIL Region meets (and I get to do one) and there's only eight NXN Regional meets (and the same thing ... I get to do one).

Not really sure what 2018 has in store for me.

Honestly, my energy level is waning. 

And I've been through some situations I wish that I hadn't had to deal with.

I'm certainly excited, though, to support Waverly's debut marathon effort in two weeks.  I will start with her, running the first 5-6 miles, peel the timing device off my bib and then meet her at mile 20 and running her in. 

Because I have a bib in the same race and I start that race, my pacing her is legal and doesn't subject her to a DQ.

My plan to get ready was short-circuited by my injury, but I've finished 54 marathons - and it will be Waverly's day regardless of what the time is on the clock.

If you know of a good race that I should do that is fairly local, please let me know.

I'm certainly partial to races that are new to me and are in places that I've never run before. 

I don't know if I'll get to a race in 400 North American cities or towns or not, but I do hope to make some progress on running a mile in every Texas county (as a race in each is unlikely). 

I got to 106 today with eight in total on this short trip.

And, of course, I continue to look for a reason to not run as many races, but until that improves, as I tell many people, I have nothing better to do (and I need to try and keep the weight in check.)

In the meantime, I'll do my best to encourage you in what it is that you like to do.

If you count me as a friend, I'm honored. 

And more importantly, thank you for being my friend.

Have a great 2018 in just your life in general as well as the things that you do to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Space City 10-Miler Race Story

HOUSTON -- It was a double danger kind of race morning at Sunday's Space City 10-Miler.

Not only were runners able to see the humidity at the start, but they also felt the heat at the finish line as conditions worsened through the morning -- despite sunny skies.

However, Georgetown's Alfred Kiplagat and Houston's Hillary Montgomery navigated the hexagon-shaped course in times that seemed a bit of a paradox.

Kiplagat, the 28-year-old, who wasn't pushed by runner-up Todd Van Velson, ran the slowest winning time of all 16 Space City 10-Milers in 52:34.7, while Montgomery, the 24-year-old former Texas A&M Aggie and 2016 US Olympic Olympic Marathon Trials qualifier, seemed in top form.

Even though Montgomery's margin of victory over Madison Brown - the former University of Houston Cougar - was more than twice that of Kiplagat's.

Her winning time of 56:45.8 was the fourth fastest in the race's history -- one that she holds the course and event record from two years ago in 55:11.8.

Both Kiplagat and Montgomery walked away with $800 each -- $500 for the win from title sponsor One Main Financial and another $300 from Nationwide Insurance for being the first runner at miles 2, 4 and 6.

Van Velson, 33, and Brown, 22, were second overall in 54:27 and 1:00:53, respectively, earning $300 while Luis Armenteros, 45, and Lauren Stroud, 26, were third - taking home $100 each -- in 56:18 and 1:01:55.

It was Armenteros' third show finish to go with a win in 2003, second place in 2004 and masters' victories the last three runnings of the race.

Meanwhile, Stroud has finished on the podium in each of the last five years, including winning the race last October and three consecutive second-place efforts in 2013-2015.

The masters' titles - and $200 in prize money - were won by a pair of Houstonians in Peter Lawrence and Stacy Holden.

Lawrence's winning time of 57:29 was actually the fourth best of nine consecutive finishes, including five 40-44 age group wins in the race's last six runnings, while Holden defended her title -- the fifth women in race history to do so -- in 1:08:17.

Montgomery, Van Velson, Armenteros and Holden were four of nine runners who earned entry into January's Chevron Houston Marathon or Aramco Houston Half Marathon as part of that race's Local Elite Invited Runner program.

Runners who live in a 19-country area surrounding Harris County can earn a free entry at each of the four Houston Area Road Runners Association's (HARRA) Fall Series races if they are the first to finish in a time that beats a pre-determined qualifying standard.

(UPDATE:  Montgomery declined the entry - or lives outside of the area now - and it rolled down to the former Cougar, Madison Brown, according to the Chevron Houston Marathon website.)

Kingwood's Stewart Everett, 51, and Katy's Lynn Malloy, 57, represented the Grandmasters with finishes of 1:05:02 and 1:12:30 -- beating the 1:06:19 and 1:17:06 standards.

Houston's Miguel Lopez, 66, and Sabra Harvey, 68, earned the Senior Grandmasters entries with showings of 1:11:29.7 and 1:11:34.5.

Harvey was a week removed from winning her age group at the USATF Masters 5K Championship in Syracuse, New York in a time of 20:44, which age grades to 99.04%.

The final Local Elite Invited Runner slot went to 70-year-old Ben Harvie, who finished in 1:17:14 -- easily more than two minutes under the 1:19:42 standard.  It was Harvie's sixth age group win in 11 career Space City 10-Miler finishes.

Harvie was one of 43 runners before the race who had finished 10 or more Space City 10-Milers since 2003 -- and another 12 on Sunday finished their 10th race (in 16 runnings of the race).

Runners will have the opportunity to earn up to 10 spots in each of the next three races of the HARRA Fall Series - the Houston Half Marathon, the Fleet Feet Sports HMSA Classical 25K and the Fort Bend Kia 30K.
