Saturday
was Earth Day and in Humboldt County it was a beautiful day for our annual Clam
Beach Master’s 10K Run. Jurgen Giessel
and Myrna Weburg lead off this year’s group of forty and
over runners followed little by little by the younger and younger ones. This is
an age adjusted race with the older runners getting a time advantage at the
start. The last runners started 17 minutes after the first.
In
the men’s race John
Zinselmeir dominated yet again to take
home his 20th Master’s title with no end in sight! It was a close
race for second & third with Paul Kinsey coming in about a minute ahead of Alan Grau. They will both find their names enshrined
on the prestigious Hobart Brown trophy for the first time.
In
the women’s race the trophy has found a new home after spending the last seven
years with either Lanore Bergenske
or Laura McNulty. Tami Beall has completed the progression from
3rd two years ago to 2nd last year and now 1st
this year with the best time of the day OVERALL
and the potential to win for many years to come!!
Kathleen
Brubaker and Marlene Allen fought it out for 2nd
and 3rd and will be on the trophy this year!
Thanks
to everyone who helped out this year. President Timek
stopped by to bless the race but had to get to his weekend Whitehouse for much
needed relaxation. Once again Paul took care of the permits and road signs.
Thanks to Marlene
for helping out when registration got crazy. Gayle was out at the turnaround
with water and encouragement for the runners, and this year’s food and beverage
hostess was Lavender
who did a great job! Thanks!! As usual, thanks to Yoon for photos, results, and
personally testing all the postrace snacks to make sure they hadn’t been
tempered with by North Korean Madman Kim Jong Un!!
The
Master’s Race is always two weeks before the Avenue. See you next year. – Bob T.
