Buffalo Chips' Western States Entry

It's that time of year again! Because the Chips run an aid station at the Western States Endurance Run (Devil's Thumb), we have one entry to give to a club member. This year, the Buffalo Chips Board slightly re-jiggered the criteria the 2004 Board adopted and will be using these to select our lucky entrant.

If you are a current member of the Buffalo Chips and are interested in this Western States entry, please read the following carefully.

Buffalo Chips' Western States Endurance Run Entry Prerequisites

The Applicant Must:

1. Be a current member of the Buffalo Chips Running Club in good standing.

2. Be a current member of USATF and have #104 (Buffalo Chips) as their club.

3. Have represented the Buffalo Chips in a USATF race during the calendar year.

4. Have met all of the criteria for Western States Endurance Run (WSER) entry and have entered the regular WSER lottery, and not been selected during the regular drawing.

5. Have exhausted all other "special consideration" opportunities as prescribed by the WSER Board of Directors.

6. Notify the Buffalo Chips Board of Directors, either by email or phone, within three days of the WSER lottery to express their intent to request the Buffalo Chips’ entry.

7. Submit a résumé describing their contribution to the Buffalo Chips and their relevant racing history. (Keep it short. We're slow readers.)

Additional Selection Considerations:

When more than one qualified member requests the Buffalo Chips WSER entry the following guidelines should be employed:

1. First consideration should be given to club members who have contributed significant time to the club during the current or prior year as determined by the current board. Club members such as the Enquirer editor, club Race Directors, Board Members and others who volunteer significant amounts of time to the betterment of the club, and the running community, should be considered in this group.

2. Second consideration should be given to those who have requested Buffalo Chips entry in prior years and have been denied. Also, if all other aspects are deemed equal and one or more applicant has used the exemption in the past, then the member that hasn’t used the exemption previously would have priority.

3. Third consideration would be past WSER performances. The Buffalo Chips Board will consider the likelihood of the applicant finishing the race or scoring USATF points for the club. Also, if an applicant needs a WSER finish to achieve a major milestone, such as a tenth finish, they may not qualify for an automatic entry through the WSER Board of Directors but should be considered for the Buffalo Chips entry.

4. Fourth consideration would be "The good of the Sport." Would granting a certain applicant the exemption enhance the WSER event as well as promote the Buffalo Chips?

5. At its discretion, the Buffalo Chips Board of Directors may select multiple club members as being qualified (i.e., create a "short list") and draw the final name at random.

Good Luck!

Weekly News Update

Upcoming THIS WEEKEND !!

California International Marathon, Folsom to Sacramento, Sunday 3 December

Buffalo Bash, Club Party and Awards Banquet, 5-9 pm Sunday, 3 December

CIM EXPO, Friday PM and all day Saturday, Downtown Convention Center

Whew ! One gets tired just thinking about all this “action.”

Quad Dipsea, Saturday, 25 November

Doug Arnold, showing that turning 60 is not a real burden to the inspired, finished with distinction the QUAD DIPSEA this past weekend. Also in the finisher’s column was the ever young 73 year experienced Lee Rhodes. Congratulations to all finishers there and especially to our senior inspirations !

Run To Feed The Hungry, 20,000 and more each year !

The 2006 edition of this wonderful event was staged in perhaps an almost IDEAL Fall day. If you were one of the perhaps dozen or so Sacramento area runners NOT there you missed a most incredible morning group workout.

The men’s event was highly contested and the order of the final paychecks was only decided at the finish line by a 2 second margin between first and second for the men. It had been a solidly contested battle from the second mile onward in that front of the pack group in the 10k. For women, it appears that the general order of finishers was probably decided by the end of the first mile with out-of-towners Kristen Anderson (first) and Heather Gibson (second) taking solid claim to those pay totals, but local CHIP MARY COORDT put her claim in for 3rd quite early in the distance and turned a solid 37 minute effort into that payday for 3rd woman.

Master’s Chip female Jenny Hitchings broke 40 minutes for the VERY FIRST TIME to claim the 40-49 best effort with another impressive Chippee in Angela Tanghetti finishing at 6:53/mile in her first race in a couple of years ! Welcome back Ms. Tanghetti! Diane Kato and Linda Hall also placed well in their respective divisions.

On the men’s side, High Dunger John Blue WON the men’s 40-44 with the creative John Nichols close behind in 3rd for that division. Dennis Early took a 3rd in the 50-54 divison and the 55-59 age group was WON by Chris Enfante. Craig Newport was 3rd in the 60-64 age set with the legendary Gordon Hall claiming 3rd in the 70-74 group. Congratulations to all finishers, of course.

In the fast field 5k, Kirsten Schneider was 2nd in the 35-39 division; Florence Fong was 2nd in the 65-69 and Po Adams WON the over 80 age range. On the men’s side Roger Fong WON the men’s 70-74 and Tim Jordan and Don Spickelmier went 1-2 in the 65-69 set as they continue to duke it out with no clear pattern yet resolved as that battle goes back some 35 years !

Congratulations, of course to ALL FINISHERS!

Reportedly the BIG WINNER on Thanksgiving was the Sacramento Foodbank with around $500,000 generated from this wonderful event for their programs.

THANK YOU SACRAMENTO !

I was wondering if you could assist me by sending the attached pdf to the Buffalo Chips mailing list. I am the designer who created the Buffalo Chips Club logo. My good friend Sally Edwards (see below) suggested I contact you she is out of the country and is not able to facilitate her idea to send this invitation to the Club's mailing list. Have a look and let me know. The show is free, fun, and attended by fit folks at a fitness club! Refreshments. Thank you in advance for considering my request.

Oops! I wasn't paying attention when this post came to me. So, to set the record strait ...

The designer of the Logo most of us are familiar with and see on all of the clubs literature and mailings was designed by Laura Yasso (Kulsik) back in 1991/1992.

Weekly News Update

Clarksburg 30k and 5k and Half-Marathon and 20 Miler

Wow, what a set of alternatives! While I am the biggest “fan” of the 20 mile distance at Clarksburg, since it is the original “long road race” in all of Northern California, I would encourage Chips to run the 30k as it is the PA-USATF championship event. ONLY the 30K distance scores runners for team and individual awards in the Grand Prix series as Linda Hall also notes in her report….

The Clarksburg series of races had one of the largest turnouts that I remember probably because they offered so many options this year:

5k, half marathon, 30 k (the PAUSATF race), 30 k relay, and 20 miler. The day started sunny and cool and never really warmed up making it perfect long distance running weather. This year's shirt was a technical fabric T shirt and those who signed up in advance, were able to get their preferred sizes while the procrastinators were swimming in the larger sizes.....a real reason to register early.

Chips participated in most or all of the races. It’s just too bad that those who ran the 20 miler, didn't just run the 30 k and then add on 1.4 miles at the end so that we could count them for team scoring...Oh wel,l maybe next year.

While the race went very well for some of us, there was a group of us who turned the wrong way just after the 20k mark due to a negligent course monitor. We went 1 mile or more in the wrong direction before a firetruck came by to tell us we were going the wrong way and to offer us a ride. Guessing that taking a ride would be against USATF rules, we all turned around and went back past the monitor who allowed us to go the wrong way. We had some choice words on the way back for the monitor who claimed he "did not see" us.....

When we complained to the race director at the end, he said: "How could you go wrong, it is an out and back course!" I don't know about the others, but I was just keeping my eyes on the folks ahead of me, trying to stay with them or catch up. Besides, I remember running by open fields and ditches filled with green water and those were also found on the "wrong way" course. Anyway, the good news is that we all still finished and were able to add 2 unexpected miles to our log books at the end of the day!

The Chips I saw were:

30 k Women
Jenny Hitchings (1) 2:05:28
Liz Ware (13) 2:39
June Montuori (2) 2:46:17
Chris Wellins (ageless.....come on Chris, you have to tell them your age so we can score you!)

And a super senior women's team of
Barbara Elia (1) 2:49:17
Cynci Calvin (2) 2:58:24
Linda (wrong way) Hall (5) 4:00:26

30 k Men:
Mark Murray (11) 2:03:00
Dennis Early (9) 2:12:16
John Nichols (16) 2:09:22
Ernie Takahashi (5) 2:19:04
Tony Alvarez 3:07:59

5k
Nova Poff (age group 1st) 26:29
George Billingsley (age group 1st)
Half marathon
Lindsay Pears Dickson (8) 2:07:39 (a significant PR for her!)
Mike Schwartz (14) 2:07:40 (looks like Lindsay out-sprinted him at the end!)

20 miler:
Sharon Lindeque 3:04:24
Frank Slachman 3:22:20
Mike Villierme 3:52:02
Art (wrong way) Smith 4:25:31
Ron Adams also ran, but I don't know which race. I know there were others that I missed. Sorry.

Helen Klein 50k Almost a “Chip Sweep”

Taking 2nd (Erik Skaden), 3rd,John Blue, and 4th (Mark Murray), the Bison completely dominated the top of the finisher order in the 50k event. FIRST WOMAN was Kirsten Schneider in 4:19 (8th overall) and Dennis Early rounded out the top 10 overall in that 50k distance. Also on the finisher list: Dan Cox, Ron Peck and Becky Johnson to note just some of the other buffalo running 31 miles.

Mark Lantz was 5th in a solid 6:57 in the 50 mile division, and Ron Tabler, Cynci Calvin and Linda McFadden were easy to find on the 30k finisher record.

The really unfortunate element of the 30k at Saturday’s Helen Klein races is that it was started….EARLY. Yikes ! It is one thing to start a race a few minutes late, but another entirely to send off the main field while some are still checking sweats, finishing their last porta-potty time, etc.

Dean Karnazes Finishes 50-50-50 with a FLOURISH!

Running the NYC Marathon as the last element in his 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days, highly promoted Dean Karnazes showed his critics that he IS one pretty tough animal. Running 1:30:31 for the crowded first 13.1, dramatic Dean closed his last 13.1 in a slightly negative 1:29:59 to finish at 3:00:30, which was by far his fastest 42km in any of his 50 finishes and he ALMOST caught the highly touted Lance Armstrong (2:59:36). Lance was about TWO MINUTES ahead of Dean at around the 30km point, but Dean was simply MUCH STRONGER than Lance and finished much better over the last 8 miles.

Congratulations to ALL NYC MARATHON FINISHERS including our own Sara Heintz and at least a couple of other Sacramento based Big Apple Masters.

Great job, Chips, at the Helen Klein Ultras! I think we made our point with the solid showing, in numbers and placement, in all the races.

The Rules:

* You must be a Buffalo Chips member in good standing on race day;

* During the race, you have to be identifiable as a Chip (i.e., run in a Chips jersey); and

Marine Corp. Marathon, Washington, D.C.

Ernie Takahashi showed his solid marathon credentials with a 3:39 finish as sponsored in his participation there by VSP, one of the race supporting commercial foundations.

The women’s field at Marine Corps this year was a bit slow with an overall winning time of only 3:00:22, while the men’s was a bit better at just over 2:21.
