I t w a s reported that the winner Cam Dauler fell twice during the race. Thank goodness he heard the advice of Owen (Sal) McCrudden concerning falling in races. (Owen's advice for the rest of you that didn't hear is to "get right up!") Cam's winning time was 1 6 : 5 3 , w h i l e L a u r i e ' s w a s 2 0 : 5 4 . The Five Mile race was run on February 23 with a temperature of about 55 degrees. (I guess that makes it a Freezer Five Five Five Miler.) Jim McDermott suggested we rename the race the "Global Warming Five Miler." Scott's winning time was 27:40 while Laurie came in with a fine 33:06. Of special note was Nick Caswell, who placed second overall only 5 seconds behind. It won't be long 'til we see Nick win one of our races as a master.

North County News hasbeen very generous to us for many years andALL OF THE PROCEEDS come d i rec t l y to TRRC.The tu rnou t ove r the las t few years has beensteadily declining, and I don't want to seeus lose another sponsor.

D e a r Ta c o n i c s :Just received a letter with some clippings from the
newsletter. You don't know how much I miss the club,the races, the park, and all of you. By the time you getthis, the holidays will be over and I hope they were greatfor all of you.
Took a flying leap, well, maybe flying fall is more likeit, last week while running. I swear the pavementmoved! Anyway, my training has been curtailed a bit,but I hope to be at it again in earnest soon. The injurieswere minor, but, alas, infection sets in right away here.I'm on the mend though.
Almost none of the races here have women's divisions, although near Bogota, a woman won a recent racein 38:40, so they must be out there. I guess I won't beable to use heat as an excuse anymore, I'm sure 111 beable to think of something else by July.
Let me thank Carmelo for keeping the roads safe forracing in Dutchess. I hope you're not too badly injuredand you're getting lots of recognition and sympathy.
Hope the masters team had a great run in Boston,You guys are still my heroes. Saw a few of the timesfrom the Yorktown lOK. Great going! And great performances at Dutchess. Go Green!
I love my job here and Colombia is definitely an experience. I guess a break from Polypro and Gortex isgood for me, and I even have a tan of sorts.
I may not get back in time for the relay, but I'll try.Sign me up for Father Mooney, though. Can't wait tosee you all then. I've got lots of stories to share, and I'msure you've got tour war stories piling up too. Justthink; someone you haven't told all your '91-'92 PRs to,who actually understands what you are talking about.Even in Spanish.
Ed, I would really appreciate a newsletter. Can weafford that? You're a great group, even if you neverw r i t e .

I cannot waive this rule for the Taconic Road Runners Club asit is a rule which applies to all Clubs in all of our eventsa n d m u s t b e a d h e r r e d t o .
