ITC water station

Weather can’t stop
club’s support of
EC marathon
It rained. There was sleet. It even
snowed. But nothing kept a handful of
hardy ITC volunteers from staffing a
water station along the excessively breezy
shores of Half Moon Lake during the third
annual Eau Claire Marathon May 1.
Eau Claire native Pat Russell, now living
in St. Paul, Minn., returned for his second
marathon victory in 2 hours, 50 minutes.
Russel won the inaugural race in 2009.
Flying finisher. Former Blugold national
champion Chris Wirtz handily won the Eau
Claire half-marathon May 1 in 1:15:45.
Lisa Tavares of Colfax won the women’s
title in 3:21.
In the half-marathon, it was former Blugold Chris Wirtz winning in 1:15 for the
men and Erin Manlove of Minneapolis in
1:27 for the women.

Nothing to see here, officer. A vehicle made its way onto
the bike trail that conveniently served as a windbreak for ITC
water station workers. Anyone know who’s the owner?

Greetings again everyone,
Through my term as president, I have shared with you
some of my aspirations, goals and objectives for our club.
In this article, I want to share with you my take on
group/social runs. I have run with a group for several
years. The advantages that I have experienced seem to
have no end. During these runs, I have had the opportunity to meet many great people.
At times, the groups that I run with have varied, and
they could be small or large. With the larger groups,
they seem to separate as people adjust to the pace. It
seems that someone pushes to the front, and several
people follow and some stay back to chat. So if you feel
like you want to run fast, there always is someone ready
to join in and match your pace.
During my long group runs, I have received great tips
on racing tactics and training. Each person who I have
run with always has shared something. One of the
biggest things is the conversation about injuries. With so
many people, if you have a running-related injury,
someone probably has had it before you.
They can give you suggestions of what they did to fix
the problem. Many times self-help techniques, such as a
new stretch or stretching routine, can come out or a
good medical referral.

This has helped me because several years ago, I was
complaining about some IT band problems. Several people indicated they had a similar issue, and they used a
foam roller to take care of the problem. So I purchased
one and started using it. However, they did leave out
the part that it could be painful at
first.
I also love hearing of new

However, I don’t always run in groups, and I would
never want to do all my runs in a group. There is something nice to be said about running on your own, just
putting everything out of your mind.
Good running (whether by yourself or in a group),

Running’s growth linked to trail system
If you do any of your training in Eau Claire, there’s a
pretty good chance that you do at least some of it on a
trail.
If you do any racing in Eau Claire, there’s a very good
chance that you do at least some of
it on a trail. Just about every
run/walk held in Eau Claire, it
seems, has at least a portion of its
course on a trail. And in recent
years, there have been more and
more of these events.

of the trail. Two of the events were starting in Carson
Park, and the other near Owen Park.
Of course, it’s not just runners and walkers who use
the trail. Nobody knows that better than Dave
Bohlinger, Eau Claire Parks maintenance supervisor.
“The trail is so many things to so
many people,” said Bohlinger, who
recently completed his first 13.1
miler in the Eau Claire halfmarathon that runs a portion of its
course on — you guessed it — the
trail. “It’s used by bikers, walkers,
roller-bladers and runners. The trail
has become my favorite asset of all
our park amenities.”
“There’s just been an explosion in
the number of races in recent
years,” says Mike Salm, who as the
ITC Webmaster, volunteers many
hours posting these races on the ITC
Web site.

Trailblazers
Apparently the trail has become a
favorite of many other area residents as well. Bohlinger says a trail
counter revealed that a little more
than 130,000 people passed through
the Owen Park portion of the trial
last year. That’s roughly twice the
population of Eau Claire.
A big reason for this explosion of
area run/walks in recent years is the
growth of the trail system during
that time.
Leave the grilling to us. Make plans to attend the 2011 ITC Picnic this
summer. The event typically is held mid-July. Details will be available at

To all at Indianhead Track Club,
I have to let you know that it made my day to come across
the Beer and M&M marathon and Indianhead Track Club
Web page. I am one of Dick Kennedy’s daughters (Margaret, No. 3 and the one who gave him the most trouble —
I am sure some of the older runners remember hearing all
about me...), and I just wanted to pass along that all of the
stories about the early marathon are true.
I used to drive the “beer car,” my dad’s old, green Land
Cruiser, and pass out M&Ms along the way. I was also
the one who was assigned the task of picking out all of the
Reese’s Pieces the year that they were dumped in the big
blue bowl with all of the M&Ms.
And, yes, the road kill story is true, too.
Someday I will make it back to Eau Claire and will run
this ‘race’ (with a few of my sisters) in honor of my dad.
Thanks for the smile today! Margaret (Kennedy) Poast
Eau Claire got its first stretch of

Tecumseh Marathon
‘Challenging course’ an understatement for trail marathon
By Steve Thon
ITC foreign correspondent
I felt like I had just bought a pack of
cigarettes. The package was emblazoned with warnings:
n “This is a humbling course,” said
one.
Another added: “You think you are
well-trained….but this is a challenging
course.”
n
n My favorite warned: “Challenging
course is pure modesty.”
But I was not about to engage in
some passive, cancer-causing activity
like smoking a pack of cigarettes or
eating a pound of fried bacon. I was at
the registration desk of the Tecumseh
Trail Marathon and about to engage in
what would turn out to be a memorable experience.
As I reviewed the
race information, it
slowly dawned on
me that I was a victim of impulse buying.
hardly a trail run that is not written up
as the “most something (insert: hilly,
demanding, muddy, scenic, etc) in the
world.”
palpitations, but that just added to the
attraction. And so I clicked on the
“Register Now” button and sent in my
money.
And the course profile? Well….in
10th grade, we all learned how to adjust the scale of any graph to get the
desired affect. So, without a careful
analysis of the vertical scale and then
some point of reference, the profile can
Now I was faced with actually completing the task at hand, and it seemed
daunting.
Information provided by the organizers described an undulating course
It all started in late

Thon
the notion to run
one more marathon before the ski season started. A nationwide Web search
produced two likely candidates: Las
Vegas and/or the Tecumseh Marathon
in Bloomington, Ind. Having done
Vegas, I knew it would be hot, dry and
packed with people running down The
Strip and around the city.
And, by the way…it was still deer
hunting season, so shooting was possible, and we were all advised to dress
colorfully.
On the other hand, the landscape
around Bloomington was beautiful, in
a southwestern Wisconsin sort of way,
and the City of Bloomington had the
feel of a small city with a large university centered in it.
Tecumseh was a small trail marathon
within reasonable driving distance
from west-central Wisconsin.
The 2009 photos showed runners
going along heavily-wooded, leaf-covered trails, in pleasant late-autumn
temperatures. I vaguely looked over
the course description and even
glanced at the course profile. But ever
since my first off-road endeavor at the
1997 Glacial Trail 50K, I have come to
realize that trail runners like to talk
trash about their courses, and there is

be confusing.
I’ll admit that this one did look like
the EKG of some old guy with heart
with a couple of major climbs. Overall
climbing would reportedly total 3,500
feet, and there would be numerous
stream crossings.
Having driven almost seven hours
due south from the Chippewa Valley, I
was surprised to awake on race morning to 6 inches of wet, heavy snow,
stalled traffic and road closures.
What started out to be a pleasant (but
challenging) run through the woods
was turning into a survival test. As if
“challenge” were the theme of the day,
shuttle buses could not get to the finish
line due to heavy snow on the rural
back roads, so the point-to-point
course was modified to an out-andback run from the starting line.
Apparently this would not change
the overall elevation climb by much,
but it would mean that the racers
going in both directions would have to
share the narrow course.
The race was limited to 700 participants, in part due to the nature of the
course itself. The vast majority of it
would qualify as single-track mountain biking trail.
To pass someone would require both
etiquette and determination, as it
would typically involve charging
through the brush around other racers.

Frigid 8 thrives in 1980s
Editor’s note: The following is a continuation of an article chronicling the
history of the ITC’s second-oldest road
race: the Frigid 8.
The Frigid 8 continued to draw
large numbers of participants into
the 1980s. In 1982 John Vodacek, a
local runner, set a new course record
of 39 minutes, 47 seconds. He bested
his own record, set the previous
year, by more than a minute.
Emily Smith (now Blaskey), a local
runner, paced the women with a
51:34.
One notable change in the 1982
Frigid 8 was that the course was
now run in the opposite direction
from previous years for traffic and
safety considerations.
Two hundred, seventy-two runners
finished the 1982 race.
Winter racing continued to be popular in 1984. The Frigid 8 again introduced some outstanding runners
to the Eau Claire area. Among them
were race winner Karen Schoenrock
of Eau Claire and Jim Hanson of
Madison. A three-mile race, known
as the Thermal 3, resulted in an increase of 110 runners to the race at
this time.
Winter racing continued to thrive
in the late 1980s. In 1986, Tom Zimmerman of St. Cloud, Minn., was the
winning male with a time of 42:22.
Sue Wurl was the women’s winner.
The race featured more than 400
runners.
The winter of 1986 also saw the
growth of another run in Eau Claire.
This was the Frigid 5. It was organ-

ized by Sacred Heart Hospital.
Sue Wurl of Minneapolis.
In 1986, the Frigid 5 drew 172 runners. The course was a level, paved
course in the area of the hospital.
The Frigid 8 continued to be the
flagship run of the ITC in the late
1980s. Yet, one could see that the future of this race was uncertain.
Thanks to ITC member Lloyd Fleig,
along with Northwest Fabrics, the
Frigid 8 and Thermal 3 runs were
marked with a professional touch in
1987. Registration packets were prepared for registrants in each of the
two races. Each runner would purchase a packet, including a lunch
ticket and a long sleeve T-shirt.
Negrini’s London House would be
available for a post-race gathering.
The fee for everything, including
race registration, would be $8.
The winners of the 1987 Frigid 8
were Dan Held of Eau Claire and
As an officer of the ITC, I was made
aware of the concern that the local
police had for the safety of our runners (not just for the Frigid 8). We
met with members of the local police
force several times, and clearly, the
ball was in the ITC’s court to come
up with a route for our races.
The most reasonable option would
be to move the Frigid 8 northward.
After 10 years at North High School,
the race was moved to McDonell
High School in Chippewa Falls in
1997.

how to get her to say ‘yes’
Dear LeQuene,
I need a woman’s perspective. How do I find out if a woman
in my training group is open to going on a date with me?
If she turns me down, I’m afraid it might make her or me so
uncomfortable that we drop out of the group, and then I’d miss
out on what limited interaction we already have.
Forlornly yours,
Dear Fenced In,
Oh, please. Please pass her at the finish line of the next
race. Then ask her for a date. There is nothing more attractive in a man than his need to hurry up and finish.

Now the narrow course would be filled
with runners going in both directions.
By the time I made it to the starting line, I
felt like the credit card bill was due, and it
was time to pay the price for my indiscriminate shopping. In the end, it took a long
time to pay off the charges. The entire scenario made for a long, slow day.
The good news was that the trail never became too slippery, the streams were small
and readily passable, the “crowds” resulted
in lots of uphill walking, and the aid stations were plentiful.
Of the 700 registrants, about 550 participants actually made it to the finish line with
a winning time of 3 hours, 23 minutes and a
median time of 5:10. Surprisingly enough,
back in the Chippewa Valley, runners were
treated to almost similar conditions at the
Frigid 8/Thermal 3 held the same day.
I guess that when “Old Man Winter” decides to strike, even a long drive south
won’t get you much relief. Next year…
maybe Vegas??
1. You must anticipate and satisfy her every desire even
before she knows she has one. If she has to ask, then
you’re already too late.
2. You must worship her at every distance. 5K, 10K,
half-marathon. It doesn’t matter. If you’re not groveling,
then you’re doing something wrong.

NOT.
This is not rocket science, boys. You always make this
harder than it really is. If you want a woman to say
“YES” when you ask her out on a date, you must follow
3 simple guidelines:
3. You must follow her every rule even before you learn
she has one. If you’re not begging for forgiveness, then
you’re not paying attention.

Trails
proceeds from this fall’s Carson
Park 5 & 10/Boogie Run to the
trail.
The original plan was to help
Parks and Recreation purchase a
trail counter, but they found
other funding. So, for now, the
money we raise will go into a
general trail fund.
Both Bohlinger and Eau Claire
Parks, Recreation and Forestry
Director Phil Fieber say that they
welcome any suggestions we
may have for the trail. They
mentioned possibilities such as
benches, mile markers and exercise stations.
So if you have any suggestions
for trail improvements — and/or
on how to raise money for them
— please let me know. Send
your ideas to
[email protected].
