Our Southern Rock!!
Paces Friend in 8Km Trail Run
Panther Creek, Morristown Tn.
When asked if she
would pace a friend to a personal best our Southern Rock, Karen
Beaulieu, definitely hesitated before replying in the affirmative.
For those who know Karen, she doesn't like to follow, she doesn't
like to pace and she definitely doesn't like to lose - especially
on purpose. In the end she did the right thing and sucked up
her pride and dutifully ran one encouraging step behind her
charge. The result was an excellent 2nd place age group finish
for her friend, Bev Leamon, and a third place finish for Karen.
Was she happy? I'll let Ms. B. explain:
Karen writes:
Hey guys thought I should
drop ya'll a line and let you know whassup.. ran the panther
creek trail race this morning with Beverly and yes Vince I did
stay behind her the entire time including the finish line. AND
I have decided NOT to blow another race to allow someone to
finish ahead.!! I
was very tempted to move ahead but did not bite. Of
course Monique was not happy to hear that I let Bev come in
ahead but I know that she would not like to win a race handed
to her on a platter as there is no true sense of accomplishment
in such a win. You know that victory would not be sweet if I
"let" you win. You know that you truly want to earn
your bragging rights ...if you insist i would let you come in
first but then again I know how much we value our friendship
so I must save you from a fake victory. Anyway's Monique you'd
be so psyched out constantly checking over your shoulder , wondering
when i was going to sneak on by.... in case people don't know
Monique and I have a friendly rivalry that has been going on
forever and there seems to be no end in sight. ha ha or should
I say he he.. It was a great race and a great day. I am so looking
forward to running on trails when i get back home and also joining
the old gang on the roads for an occasional run . Next Sat.
i run my last race here before packing up and coming Home..
C ya Ms. B
Congratulations Ms. B. You
did good

Worlds Harmony Run Visits
Sudbury
Members of the Sudbury Rocks!!, the Running Room
and the Greater City of Sudbury welcomed the World Harmony Run
Group to our City. The Run is a global relay that seeks to promote
international friendship and understanding. As a symbol of harmony,
runners carry a flaming torch, passing it from hand to hand
between members of thousands of local communities, traveling
through over 70 countries around the globe.
Vince Perdue, Monique Fournier and Donna Smrek
were honoured to escort members of the Harmony Run in a 5Km
jog from the Running Room to City Hall. Flags and the torch
were exchanged numerous times on the course and there were lots
of positive honks and waves as we made our way through the city.
The Group was met by at City Hall by Councilor
Rivet who officially exchanged the torch and wished the Group
well on their further journeys. And we all wish the Group well.
They are a positive inspiration to all they meet.
Paul Washchuk volunteered to be our support driver
on the day ensuring all runners were returned to the Running
Room safely.

Spring Announcements
Due to the fact that this Sunday May 8th
is Mother's Day (be good to you mom!), I am rescheduling
the 2005 Tri Season Kick-off BBQ and Talk for FRIDAY
MAY 27. The idea is to host the event
after whatever YTri workout gets scheduled for that day.
The event will take place at the home of Paul Graham,
726 Hillsdale Crescent, off York St. in Sudbury.
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=726+hillsdale+crescent+sudbury+ontario&hl=en
As planned, this evening will be a chance to get together
socially and meet other folks interested in triathlon,
plan our summer season and coordinate rides to some of
the events many of us will be going to.
Stay tuned as more details about this event will be sent
your way shortly. In the meantime, please RSVP your attendance
to mike@discomfortzone.om
Happy training,
Mike
