When We Grow Old, We want to Run like Ron!!!
Wineglass Marathon 2006
Ron Moore shattered all Groton Gophers running accomplishments in this years Wine Glass Marathon. His time of 3:37:11 is just about 7 minutes off of a Boston Marathon Qualifying time. Ron took off at mile 1 in his usual fashion. We all figured we'd see him on the sideline at about mile 22. It never happened. A miscalculation of thinking he only had 7 miles left at 14 miles kept Ron running strong through the whole race. Congratulations Ron.
Stephen Codner described this as his transistional marathon. He has a 3 year plan for qualifying for Boston. (Editor's note, He'll do it before the 3 years.) His plan was to start very slow for the first 10 miles. He was running so slow that he was back with Gallow. From there he'd pick it up to an 8:30 pace to about mile 20 and then push it. Codner had an incredible run with a 3:45:42. With this under his belt, there's no holding him back next time. He's on his own now. Expect big things from this runner.
A couple of quotes come to mind for Steve Gallow. "Just when you think you have this marathon thing figured out, it comes back and bites you." S Gallow 10/1/2006 Wineglass
Marathon. Gallow bonked at mile 18. He started out with Codner and George Hade at what seemed to be a comfortable pace. (~8:5?) Mile 10 Codner left the slow pokes to continue on
with his race. At around mile 13 Gallow took a pee break. When he returned to the marathon he attempted to catch George Hade. (A Big Mistake). At mile 18 his legs had no more energy. They were not sore at all. It's such a strange feeling. The last 8 miles took forever, and he came in with a 4:15:26. The second quote that comes to Gallow's mind is by Thomas A. Edison "I have not failed. I've just found 10000 ways that won't work." Gallow is going back to work on a new strategy for the Philadelphia Marathon on November 19th.
The Gophers also had a relay team in this years Wineglass Marathon. Gideon Gal flew all the way from Israel to join Groton Gophers Ray Wagner and Gary Rightmire. Gideon stated, "I've always dreamed of being able to run with the Gophers. Today I have acheived that dream." All 3 members of the relay team had a fantastic run with a time of 3:31:07.
