Ok Ok, It's me. I am the one selling the $125 copy of Once A Runner on eBay. I am only doing this because I heard that my teammate, the ever-present track nut Josh Seeherman bought a copy off of a rare bookseller for $150. AND that he bought it as 5 other people were clamoring for the same copy the very same day. Who could resist? So, there are a little less than 6 days left and if anyone needs a copy, you know where to find it.

I was at the Cal State Dominguez Hills complex a couple of weeks ago (my son ran in a HS XC meet there) and there were cranes and bulldozers all over the place- very dusty. Whether a "stadium" will be ready by May or not for the LA Open is anybody's guess.

The pair prevailed against strong fields, gusty winds and temperatures in the 30s. Ricklefs, 35, clocked seven hours, nine minutes and twenty-nine seconds for his victory - an average of 6:53 per mile. Hometown favorite Dusty Olson, 29, finished second in the men's competition in 7:17:02, with Bloomington, Minnesotas Charles Hubbard, 41, winning the masters competition with his third-place finish overall in 7:23:29. The win gives Ricklefs, a cross country skier-turned-biker-turned-champion ultra-marathoner, his third major victory in the last 12 months. The urban and regional planning graduate student won the JFK 50 Miler last November and set a new course record in winning the Leadville Trail 100 Miler last August. Gardner, 38, ran 8:30:31 for her win in the womens competition - roughly 8:10 pace per mile with Laura Nelson, 37, of Waynesboro, Md, the runner-up in 8:47:49. Ann Heaslett, 38, of Madison, Wisc., who sought to become ultrarunning's first three-time national champion in a single year, finished third in 8:53:03. Rounding out the top four for women was masters winner Tania Pacev, the USA's top finisher at the 2002 World Challenge, who finished overall in 9:04:08. The top three finishers in the mens and womens races earned automatic spots on the USA team for the 2003 IAAF World 100K Challenge in Taipei. The remaining three spots - for a total of six per gender - will be selected by the USA Track & Field Mountain, Ultra and Trail-Running Committee prior to the competition scheduled for next November. Over the point-to-point 100K course from Finland, Minn., to the outskirts of Duluth, 48 runners (38 men and 10 women) finished the race. Experienced U.S. womens team to compete at U.S. North American 5K Colleen De Reuck, Libbie Hickman and Sylvia Mosqueda form a strong U.S. womens contingent that will compete October 27 at the 2002 North American 5K Team Championships in Chula Vista, Calif. The championships will be held in conjunction with the Arturo Barrios 5K & 10K, an event which annually draws more than 4,000 participants to Chula Vista. The unique three-team international competition will be comprised of teams from the United States, Mexico and Canada. The U.S. team will be coached by legendary miler Steve Scott, who was recently elected into the National Track & Field Hall of Fame. De Reuck returns to this year's competition as the 2001 Arturo Barrios 10K champion. The former South African and Olympian is joined by Hickman, a 2000 Olympian and 2000 USA 5K Champion and Sylvia Mosqueda, who finished 3rd at the 2002 USA 5K Championships. The U.S. men's team features Clint Wells, third-place finisher at the 2002 USA 5K Championships. Rounding out the men's side will be Henry Dennis, who captured fourth place, just behind Wells, at the 2002 USA 5K Championships and Bolota Asmeron, who placed 4th at 2002 USA 5000m Championships. The North American 5K Team Championship pits squads of three male and three female runners from the U.S., Mexico and Canada. The athletes will vie for $21,000 in team prize ($12,000, $6000 and $3000) and $4000 in individual prize money ($1300 and $700 per gender). Scoring in the North American 5K Team Championship follows a cross-country format with the low total winning. Men's and women's placings are determined separately; the totals of the first two finishers from each team in both the men and women's races are combined for a final team score. In case of ties, the finishes of the remaining team members will be counted.

t-and-f: Re: Women's Vault Records Improved
When I posted a list of national record improvements under this subject heading yesterday, I said of Janine Whitlock's 4.41m mark at the Commonwealth Games trials on 16 June: >* - Whitlock was denied a further record improvement when she failed a drug >test at a later meet. I do not yet know of any formal action to >retroactively dismiss the 4.41m cleared at the Commonwealth Games trials >meet. Off-list, Mike Takaha has written to say that his memory of events was that the failed drug test was taken at that meet and non-ratification of the record would follow as a consequence. I had thought the failed drug test came a week later at the European Cup in Annecy. When I later checked the t-and-f list archives (as I should have done in the first place), I found that the most recent information posted on the matter was a note from Martin Dixon on 16 July, quoting a bulletin by UK Athletics on 14 July, confirming that Whitlock had failed a drug test following a meet on 21 May, and that she had been suspended, with opportunity for appeal of the suspension. If anyone knows of further developments, perhaps he or she would update the matter for us. Otherwise, the GBR record would appear to revert to Whitlock's 4.40m in 2001. Also, Michel Saint-Raymond, who maintains a set of national records on his website at http://www.athlerecords.net/, has written to advise of two additional 2002 improvements: Colombia 3.90Milena Agudelo 2002-10-20 Asuncion Italy 4.31Arianna Farfaletti 2002-09-29 Conegliano I don't know how I missed Farfaletti's mark. I'll plead slow reading speed for not having the 24-hours-old Colombian record. Thanks to Mike and Michel for setting these straight. Other corrections will be similarly appreciated. Cheers

Re: t-and-f: Once a Runner!!
Wow! A few years back, I borrowed someone's copy of Once a Runner, loved it, and then went and bought 12 copies. Over the years I sold a few, gave a few out as gifts. Hell, I even donated one of them to my old high school library. I checked on the book not too long ago, and it had never been checked out. I should go back and demand to get it back. Watch it disappear from the shelf now, or maybe they'll just throw it out. I still have three copies, one of which is in near mint condition. My personal copy, which I credit with changing my life, I would never sell. It's also signed by John L. Parker. The other two...maybe I'll list them on Ebay or something. I could use a couple hundred dollars, and these things haven't been off the shelf in a while. I've also got both the long sleeve and short sleeve t-shirts, one of which has "Gaunt is beautiful" on the back. I have to believe that this situation is temporary. As soon as John Parker sees that these things are going for more than $100 on ebay, he's likely to fire up the presses at Cedarwinds. But all of this dollars and cents stuff aside, I honestly credit this book with changing my running career. I was in Raleigh in 1996 running with a group of local guys under the direction of Jack Bacheler. Though it was nothing astounding, I dropped my pr in the 1500 from 3:57 to 3:49. More importantly, I actually started to dream about how good I could be. Like Quenton, I felt like my potential was untapped. Once a Runner somehow romanticized the idea of running 100 miles a week. The summer of 1996, I ran somewhere between 8-10 weeks over 100. Even doing that, I'd read again about what Quenton was doing, and I'd know I could do more. I knew I could be better. Despite what it will do for the value of my unknown rare book collection, I hope that John L. Parker reprints the book, and that kids continue to read it. Read it early and often. Qenton Cassidy is still my hero. robbie howell On Mon, 21 Oct 2002, Matt Stohl wrote: > A few years back, I read one of my favorite books, Once a Runner, and passed > it along to a cross country teammate to read.
