t-and-f: John Nunn gets A standard

[Michael J. Roth]

May 8, 2004
Birstonas, Lithuania

The Army World Class Athlete Program's John Nunn was the class of the field
in today's A. Milkeno Racewalk Competition on the streets of Birstonas,
Lithuania.
Nunn bettered his personal best and achieved the Olympic 'A' time standard
with a 1:22:31 for the 20km racewalk.

Under cloudy skies and blustery winds, Nunn, American Curt Clausen and
Lithuanian Gintaras Andriuskevicius led the field to a well-paced 5km split
of 20:43.
>From there, it was all Nunn as he accelerated through 10km in 41:16 and 15km
in 1:01:58. His 1:22:31 puts Nunn #3 on the U.S. all-time list for the 20km
event.

Cool conditions and a great tune-up race the previous weekend in Naumburg,
Germany, at the World Racewalk Cup contributed to Nunn's confident stride as
he met all challengers and practically assured himself a spot on the 2004 US
Olympic Team with only the second Olympic 'A' standard registered in the
men's 20km racewalk. Nunn now joins Kevin Eastler of the US Air Force as a
favorite at July's Olympic Team Trials in Sacramento, California.

"It was a wonderful race for me," Nunn commented afterwards. "The crowd was
very supportive and the conditions were great. I couldn't have done it
without the help of the U.S. Army, my Coach Enrique Pena, and my teammates,
Curt Clausen and Philip Dunn, who joined me in Lithuania after last week's
race in Germany."

Clausen expressed his excitement for Nunn and his own second place finish:
"We really did well as a team.
John had a phenomenal race and I was able to meet my goal of hitting the
Olympic 'B' standard, too. It was a perfect day."

Re: t-and-f: Bannister ruining the sport

[Randall Northam]

IMHO Pat Butcher was almost right. Pacemaking ruins the sport, but 
Bannister didn't event it. Loads of runners before 1954 used pacemakers 
of some description. Sydney Wooderson, much loved in the UK because he 
looked like a bank clerk and ran like a lion, broke his world record in 
a handicapped race in which he was the only one off scratch!
And that was before Bannister.
I think El Gerrouj is a great, great runner, but was I unhappy when he 
lost the Olympic title after being paced, no I wasn't.

Randy, the problem with your desires to have the runners acquiece to 
your vicarious desires is that those head-to-head match races are 
exactly what runners LOVE

Have you ever been in a pack with 150 to go, everyone digging hard, 
and you reach for that extra gear and find it, and blow by the field 
like you are walking on air? I have. Believe me, once you've felt THAT 
thrill, you want to experience it again and again! Every 1500 meter 
runner has had that thrill, and no matter how badly you want time 
trials, they will not comply.

Accept it, and learn to enjoy the terror that is racing.

What I hate most is some of the best athletes in the world going head 
to head at pedestrian race and then seeing who has the most blazing 
speed in the last 10% of the race.  I HATE THAT!!!  It reminds of 
those velodrome bicyclers that see how slow they can go without the 
bike falling over, so they can just watch other- like playing 
'chicken' or 'russian roulette'.
