October 4 2016. Top Masters Long Distance Runners from all over the US came to Tulsa on October 29th to contest the USATF 15K Championships at the Federal Credit Union Tulsa Run. The historic 15K course here was relatively flat and fast but since 2014 the course was rerouted due to redevelopment of Tulsa’s riverfront area. It is very hilly. Sometimes the weather cooperates and we get a gorgeous day for running, like last year. Other years, like 2014 and this year, the weather turns sunny and warm, not so good for fast times over a 15K. And there were 10 mph winds.

As usual, the Federal Credit Union Tulsa Run was a great host in this repeat of an annual event since 1978. Some runners were cautious in their approach to the hills and the weather, hoping for better days ahead, while others threw caution to the wind, resulting in some inspiring performances.

NATIONAL RECORDS
Two athletes went for a US 15K record despite the hills and
weather. Libby James claimed the US
5K record for Women 80-84 on October 2nd at the Masters Championship in Syracuse. She was going for two in a row with this race, undaunted by
the hills and weather. Based on her time this year in the Bolder Boulder 10K
it looked as if she had room for error. The record is 1:29:01. Using the
Age-Grading calculator, one can conclude that James’s 10K performance of 55:06
was roughly equivalent to a 1:24:37 in a 15K race. Of course one does have to
run the extra 5K, not a piece of cake.
Brian Pilcher had much less room for error. Like James, he broke the US
5K Record for Men 60-64 on October 2nd but he also broke the US
record for the Marathon on the 9th of October in Chicago with a
2:42:44. Using the same age-grading approach, that Marathon is roughly
equivalent to a 54:17. Of course, Pilcher acknowledges that he did not run a
smart race that day and was, in that sense, lucky to get the record; he expects
to lower the Marathon record in the coming year. Nonetheless, the existing
record of 54:20 is only three seconds slower than that indicator. The
combination of a hilly course and tough weather would make breaking the record
a daunting task. And let’s not mention that most marathon experts would argue
against any record attempt a mere 20 days after setting a Marathon record. But
Pilcher was determined to give it everything he had. Pilcher’s plan was to run the
first 10K with a pack of 50-54 runners, who had broken 54 minutes last year,
and then see if he could kick it in for the record. In the end the hills, the
heat, and the wind held Pilcher back enough that the record still stands. He
hit the first 5K in 18:05 and the 10K in 36:16 but he could not find the 18:03
he needed over the final 5K. Pilcher will need to go after it in another race.
He was less than a minute away, but could get no closer. Pilcher
summed up his effort, “It’s definitely doable to get the record here
but not today—the combination of wind, heat and all the hills made for a tough
day. If I haven’t gotten the 15K record by next fall, I’d like to come back to
try again.”
James on the other hand, got her record. She hit the 5K in
27:17, the 10K in 54:41 and brought it home in 30:25 for a final time of
1:25:06. That last 5K split shows that the heat and the wind took its toll on
James too, but she had enough in the tank to break the record by nearly 4
minutes. It was another phenomenal performance by James. Ever gracious, James reminds us to enjoy and take advantage of our healthy times...and to be patient when necessary, "I am so delighted to have had the chance to come to Tulsa and do
the race. It was probably more meaningful to me because a year ago last
summer I was training for it when I injured my Achilles. It happened in
August and I couldn’t run much at all until March. Feel so fortunate to
have been able to train for it this fall. It is a famous race and one
I’ve wanted to do for quite a while. I did know the course was hilly—and
it lived up to its reputation! A personal
sidelight that made it special was driving nearly 12 hours to Tulsa with
my daughter, Kristin, who leads a busy life and loves to run. She did
the 15k also and we had a rare few days to hang out together—in the car
and in Tulsa. She lives in Cheyenne, Wyoming. One of my favorite things
about running is the fact that a high percentage of my four kids and 12
grandkids are runners. I’d like to think I’ve had something to do with
that."

OVERALL CHAMPIONSHIP
The race to be the first Masters Athlete across the finish line was a
dandy for both Men and Women. Defending Champion, Greg Mitchell, at his first National Championship race since the 8K
in February, led a 3-athlete pack out from the start. Last year’s second place
finisher, John Gardiner and newly
minted Masters Runner, David Angell
right on his shoulder. All three crossed the 5K mat in 16:15. Shortly after
that, the race swings around a 180 degree turn and heads back on the opposite
side of the road. That’s where Mitchell made a decisive move. He hit the 10K
mark in 32:43 with 14 seconds on Gardiner who, in turn, had another 14 seconds
on Angell. There was one tough uphill in that stretch. The last 5K is pretty
flat until the runners cross first the Arkansas River and then the interstate.
After the River bridge there is a sharp, short hill, followed by a gradual incline back up
into Tulsa’s downtown. And that is where the heat finally got to Mitchell and
the wheels came off.
Gardiner passed him on the incline and collected his 2nd
National Championship in 3 months. A 1 Mile and a 15K championship make nice bookends!
Mitchell made an incredible effort to keep his race going all the way to the
finish line where he was immediately escorted to the medical tent. [Luckily no
permanent damage as Mitchell was hobnobbing with his peers at the Awards
ceremony.] Gardiner’s gun time was 50:01, over a minute faster than his 2015
time, so he definitely earned the win! Mitchell got the Silver Medal
in 50:47, with Angell 11 seconds back and closing fast in third place.

Gardiner
summed up the experience, “Fun race over that tough Tulsa
course. Greg Mitchell was dishing out the punishment as usual and pulled away
from David Angell and me after 5k. Greg seemed to be gone for good, but he had
some heat issues and I managed to catch him a couple of blocks from the
finish.”
Melissa Gacek, Masters Winner of the 2016 Fifth Third River Bank 25K Run, knew
she had two tough runners to beat. Fiona
Bayly took the Masters title at this year’s New Balance Bronx 10 Mile Run
and the Brooklyn Half Marathon. Melody
Fairchild was the 2014 Masters 15K
National Champion and, four years ago, took 8th place in the World
Mountain Running Championships. Gacek wasted no time as she created a small gap
after the second major hill. At the first 5K Bayly was tracking Gacek only 5
seconds back. Fairchild was a half-minute back at that point. One mile later
there is another major hill and then a reprieve as runners coast down toward
the 10K mark. When they got there, Gacek had widened her lead to 22 seconds.
The last 5K is fairly flat until runners re-cross the Arkansas River and kick
up toward the downtown area. That is a stretch where runners who have held back
on the hills can sometimes stretch it out and catch an early leader. But not
today, as Gacek held strong all the way to the finish to win in 58:44, with
Bayly second in 59:40 and Fairchild third in 1:00:00!
The winner, Gacek, offered her perspective: "So honored to end the season on a high note with a national title in a great field. It was definitely the most challenging race I've done. I am thankful to Heath Aucoin at Tulsa Run, my coach Stephanie Bruce, and my sponsors, including Discover Strength, for all their support this year!"

AGE-GRADING CHAMPIONSHIP
Naturally Libby James
topped the Women’s Age-Grading competition and Brian
Pilcher the Men’s. James and Edie Stevenson both had World Class performances, over 90%. James
hit 96.5% and Stevenson 90.41%. It is quite impressive to turn in a World Class
performance on that course on that day. Age-Grading makes no allowance for the
difficulty of the course or the weather conditions. Stevenson kept her streak
going; she has had a World Class performance in each of the 5 National
Championship races she has run this year. Jo
Anne Rowland returned to the Age-Grading podium with an 88.55%. Nat Larson ascends the Age-Grading
podium in almost every race he competes in and this race was no exception.
Pilcher registered a 90.73% but Larson was next at 87.68%. William Moore upped his game this year; he ran two minutes faster
and captured 3rd with 87.
AGE DIVISION
NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
The top 3 finishers in each
division are given below. I focus on the Division races that were tight contests or had another element that caught my attention.
The Men’s 40-44 race was as above
for the Overall Race in that Gardiner, Mitchell and Angell are
all in that group. The top of the Women's 44 was the same as above with Gacek
claiming the win but Fairchild moved up to second in the division because Bayly
is in the W45’s. Christy Peterson, who finished 5th at the 5K
Masters Championships, found the longer distance more to her liking as she
fought off two tough competitors, Kristina Pham, an ultra-marathoner,
and Jennifer Pfaff, who, like Peterson, had a strong half marathon
earlier in the year. Peterson took 3rd in 1:02:43, with Pham 20
seconds back and Pfaff, on an off day, 2 minutes behind Peterson.
The Women’s 45-49 race was taken
by Fiona Bayly who also finished 2nd overall in 59:40 but Terri
Rejimbal showed that she was all the way back from an injury that kept her
off the roads for much of the spring and summer. Rejimbal made it surprisingly
close with a 1:01:03, losing by less than a minute and a half, beating her 2014
time by 42 seconds.

The Men’s 50-54 race was a
humdinger! The lead pack was expected to be Rob Arsenault, Nat Larson,
and a fellow from Texas who rarely runs in national championships, James
Jackson, Jr. No one really anticipated the terrific
performance of William Moore, another Texan by the way. So at the 5K mark, Arsenault and Larson thought that Moore, who
was right with them, was Jackson but they had no idea who the ‘other guy’ ahead
of them with the M50 on his back was. That was Jackson who crossed the 5K mat
in 17:43, some 25 seconds ahead of the chase pack consisting of Arsenault,
Larson and Moore, all crossing the mat in 18:08, along with special guest,
Pilcher. The chase pack hoped to cut into Jackson’s lead over the next 5K but
instead Jackson upped his lead by another ten seconds, crossing the 10K mat in
35:24 with the 3-athlete chase pack 53 seconds back now. Larson went after
Jackson but the runner from Texas held onto a 26 second gap at
the finish line in 53:43, with another 17 seconds back to Moore. Arsenault
cruised in 19 seconds behind Moore.
The Women’s 50-54 was interesting
in part because it was a tight contest between Mary Alico and Kathleen
Cushing-Murray. But it got a whole lot more interesting when, about 100
meters into the race, Alico got tangled with or clipped by another runner and
went down hard on the pavement. With blood dripping from her face and legs, one
might have thought she would call it a day. But she is a fighter; she got up,
dusted herself off and took off after the rest of the competition. Alico caught
and passed Cushing-Murray in the first 5K and was never headed after that,
winning in 1:02:45 to Cushing-Murray’s 1:04:00.

Fred Zalokar took a break from his quest to win his age group at
all of the Major World Marathons to compete in Tulsa. So far he has won all but
Tokyo. And he was not denied here although there was a strong Men’s 55-59
field. Zalokar took 1st in 55:25 with William ‘Hugh’ Enicks
in second place two minutes back. Those 95 Individual Grand Prix points,
however, give Enicks 440 total and an almost insurmountable lead in that season
long race. No one else has even 300 points.
Local Tulsa runner, Terri
Cassel, got a solo win in the Women’s 55-59 group but ran a very creditable
1:05:00 that generated the 6th highest age-graded score among all of
the women running.
Men’s 60-64 was of interest, in
part, because of Brian Pilcher’s attempt for the US record. His presence made
the race for the individual gold medal almost a forgone conclusion but the race
for the remaining two podium positions was tight and, more importantly for the
participants, the M60+ team prize was fiercely contested by two teams. The Cal Coast Track Club’s M60+ team
entered the race leading the Boulder Road Runners by 20 points in the
Club Grand Prix and Boulder was determined to take at least a ten point bite
out of that lead by defeating them in this race. Boulder was pretty confident
until they learned that one of their top three runners would not make the race
due to sickness. That made it a pretty close contest in their minds. Every
runner would matter. It was Kyle Hubbart, Bruce Kirschner, and Dan
Spale for Boulder vs. Perry Forrester, John Holcomb, and Keith
Witthauer for Cal Coast. Boulder also had Mark Donelson as insurance
in case any of their first 3 ran into trouble. Holcomb and Forrester went out
like they expected to claim the victory. They hit the 5K mark in tandem in
19:53 with their teammate, Witthauer 19 seconds back. The Boulder runners were
more conservative with Hubbart 19 seconds back from Witthauer, Kirschner 3
seconds back from him and Spale 10 seconds behind them. I learned later that
Spale’s shoelace came undone; it must have been in this first 5K. Once Spale
caught up with Hubbart, those two pushed in tandem to catch and then pass the
Cal Coast guys, leading Forrester by 7 seconds and Holcomb by 14. But
Witthauer, their last scoring runner came across the mat nearly two minutes
ahead of Kirschner. Since the team race is determined by adding the times of
the first 3 runners, Cal Coast was still in the lead at this point. Spale and
Hubbart pulled away over the last 5K with Spale claiming the Silver Medal in
1:00:26 and Hubbart 11 seconds back with the Bronze medal. The question then was
how far back to the Cal Coast guys and how the battle between Witthauer and
Kirschner ended. It was very tight; in the end Kirschner took a half minute out
of Witthauer’s lead and Boulder took the
team Gold medal by two and a half minutes!
Andriette Wickstrom, the strong Marathoner from Storm Lake, Iowa, took
the Women’s 60-64 title in 1:10:55 with a wide margin over Jill
Miller-Robinett. But Miller-Robinett
was happy with the silver medal and helping her Impala team to another Team
title and another 100 points in the Club Grand Prix contest. Her teammate, Jo
Anne Rowland, had the same incentives in mind but also got a little closer
to the remarkable Edie Stevenson in the Women's 65-69 division than she has in the last few races.
Stevenson clocked 1:12:30 to Rowland’s 1:15:11.
Tom Bernhard put it on cruise control once he found out how warm
it was going to be; he won the men’s 65-69 division by 7 minutes in 1:00:45. Richard
Kutzner took the men’s 70-74 by a large margin. Paul Carlin, who
bested Kutzner at the 5K, had an off day and did not challenge. Last year Phillip
Kroll ran a minute slower than Fay Bradley when they were in
different divisions. This year Kroll moved up to the 75-79 division and ran 4
minutes faster than Bradley to win in 1:28:08.

TEAM CHAMPIONS.
Beside the Men’s 60+ race discussed
above, where the Boulder Road Runners
came from behind to beat the Cal Coast team,
the closest race was the Men’s 50+ where LRC
Racing of Lincoln Nebraska, gave the Cal
Coast team all they could handle. The absence of Matt Ebiner reduced Cal Coast’s margin for error. Rob Arsenault gave Cal Coast a three
and a half minute advantage by clocking 54:42. Thomas Schumann came in next for Cal with a 12 second advantage
over LRC’s Craig Christians. But
then LRC got their 3rd runner in next, Bret Daugherty in 1:03:34. Vincent
Lowder came as an insurance runner for Cal Coast and did not expect to be
one of the scoring trio. Would he come in within 4 minutes of Daugherty? Indeed
he would; Lowder crossed the finish line 2 minutes behind Daugherty to give the
Cal Coast guys yet another win and a big lead in the Club Grand Prix. They have
480 of a maximum possible of 500 points.
