OCTOBER 20, 2000 RUNNING REPORT

 

NANCY TINARI – STILL GOING STRONG

(The following account has been written by Nancy Tinari.  She has just won the Masters division of the Tufts 10K for Women in Boston, a race she won in 1988.  She then competed in the Canadian Roar Running 10K Championship in Montreal where she finished 2nd overall.)

 

I started out as a runner on my high school's cross-country team, in grade 11 at the age of 16.  Up until that time, I hadn't been good at any sport, but my gym teacher encouraged me to try for the team and my high school coach, George Gluppe (who is still my coach today) quickly recognized my talent.  I always loved cross-country because at my high school, George S. Henry, in Don Mills, Ontario, we had a huge team of great runners.  Even though I wasn't a great runner right away, I got to be part of a winning team and with training, I improved rapidly.  I wasn't very interested in track running so I didn't do much of that until my grade 12 year.  By grade 13, I was serious about running.  I was training hard, often twice a day.  I made my first national team, the Canadian cross-country team, and went to Scotland in 1978 for the World Cross-Country Championships, where I placed a decent 36th.  This was the first of 6 Canadian cross-country teams that I was a part of between 1978 and 1988.  Many of my best memories of running come from the times I was part of those Canadian cross-country teams.  We had great fun, since we were all distance runners and understood each other.  It was great going to Europe, too - I always enjoyed the sightseeing aspects of the trips and crammed in as much exploration as possible.  Paris, Rome, Warsaw were some of the places I went.  I was very proud of our women's team achievement in 1983 in Gateshead, England.  Led by 20-year-old Alison Wiley, who raced with the world's best and came 2nd, we were the bronze medal team.  I was our second finisher with my career World X-C best placing of 12th.

 

I've been on so many teams and in so many races that it's really hard to pick the best ones.  I always loved cross-country because of the team element and because that was how I began running.  However, I was to do better in road racing because I didn't have the leg strength to be as good on uneven or muddy surfaces as I was on the perfect surface of a road or track.  Track was important to me too, because track running is where the real elite of the sport perform, especially at the World Championships and the Olympics.  Though I enjoyed and excelled at distances from 10K to 20K on the road, I can't say that I liked the 10,000m on the track.  It's extremely tough mentally.  However, it had to be my distance at the World level because I wasn't fast enough to run at that level over the shorter distances, 1500m and 3000m, though I competed often in these distances when I was younger.  In 1978, I made the Commonwealth Games team and placed 5th in the 3000m.  I also ran the 3000m at the World Student Games in 1983.  By 1986, another Commonwealth Games year, the 10,000m for women was in all the Games.  From 1986 to 1988, Sue Lee, Carole Rouillard and I were very competitive with each other in the 10,000m and we all ran good times.  I competed in that event at the 1986 Commonwealth Games, the 1987 Pan-Am Games and World Championships, and in the 1988 Olympic Games.

 

I started achieving great success in road-racing in 1983, and after that I only ran enough track races to keep sharp and qualify to be on the Canadian team in the big events.  I had my real breakthrough at the Cleveland 10K in May of that year when I drove there with a group of my club teammates.  I won the race easily, and was very pleased with my time of about 32:30.  I didn't know than that the women I had beaten by so much had been given not only their travel expenses but appearance money as well.  I only received a giant trophy.  However, the race opened all the doors for me because in 1983, 32:30 was a very good time.  Race directors from all the big American road races started calling me.  I chose my races carefully because I wanted to keep training hard, and not get burned out from a lot of travelling and racing.  I had a lot of fun times at the American road races.  I almost always finished in the top three.  That year, because of the roar racing, I started to make a good living as a professional runner.  I was also working part-time in a lab at York University after getting my Honours B.Sc. in biology there.

 

In 1984, I was training harder that I had ever training before in my life, hoping to make the Canadian Olympic team in the marathon, because the women's 10,000m was not yet an Olympic event.  I got a very bad knee just 3 weeks before the Trials race in Ottawa.  I was in the shape of my life -- ready for a 2:30, I figured.  My first marathon, in Toronto the previous September, hadn't gone well because I had overtrained and then had severe foot problems during the race, which I finished in 2:40:50.

 

I was quite heartbroken at not being to run at the Trials of the Olympics, and my knee injury stopped me from running most of 1984 and 1985.  A previous knee injury had caused me to stop running for almost two years between 1980 and 1982.  This was the story of my running - terrible injuries that lasted so long that even with cross-training, I wasn't able to get the steady, year-to-year improvement that a distance runner must achieve in order to make it to the top of the running world.  This is partly why I am so keen as a masters runner.  It's because I never got to run or race as much as I wanted to; I sincerely believe that I never achieved what I should have.  In some ways I was very talented.  I had tremendous aerobic power and also pretty food speed for a distance runner - I ran 4:17.0 for the 1500m at age 19.  My times in the 10,000m didn't change much from 1983 to 1988, because I was injured so much.  In 1987, I was living part of the year in Brussels with my husband Paul, who was doing his Ph.D. there.  We trained together in a huge forest with wonderful trails and gravel paths.

 

My most amazing race weekend of all time would have to be an April weekend in 1987.  On a Saturday, Paul and I took a train from Brussels, to a city in the Netherlands called Oostend, where I won a 20K race in about 1:08:30 in spite of a mile of beach running on the course.  The very next day, we travelled to the town of Spa, where a whole series of huge cross-country races for all age groups was going on.  Paul and I entered the toughest race, the half-marathon.  I hadn't intended to race two days in a row; this was supposed to be Paul's race - so I didn't have racing shoes with me, but I wore my training shoes and tackled this half-marathon cross-country course through the mountains.  It was the toughest race, in terms of terrain, that I have ever done.  There were may accidents and injuries as thousands of runners struggled through the course.  In spite of running through the rough downhills very cautiously, I managed to win the women's section of the race, completely exhausted.

 

I had little else to do in Brussels but train, and I was certainly in the shape of my life that year, as I proved when I won the Canadian Championships 10,000m in a time of 32:15, and it was one of the easiest 10,000s that I ever did.  However, at the World Championships I was hampered by severe Achilles tendonitis and could only manage 32:30.  Later that year, in November, I competed as part of a 3-woman Canadian team at the IAAF World Road Racing 15K Championship (now it is a half-marathon), held in Monaco. I placed 2nd in this international race and ran my best time ever for 15K, 48:53, a time which still stands as a Canadian best.  That was definitely one of the best performances of my running career.  A few months later, I got a bursitis injury in my left heel that was to last until I finally had surgery on it 9 years later!  This injury severely curtailed my training in 1988, but with a combination of limited, high quality running and heavy bike training, I was able to make the Olympic team and I ran 32:14 to finish 13th in Seoul.

 

After 1988, I never returned to the same level of running again, not because of my age, but because of several factors:  my chronic heel bursitis, pregnancy (my son Abebe was born in 1991), and another health problem that was the worst threat to my running - disease in my iliac arteries.  The symptoms of this disease began in 1990, when I began to notice an inexplicable weakness in my quads during intense running.  I had to drop out of a 10K Canadian road championship in 1992, a race I had hoped to win due to my excellent fitness at that time, because all the muscles in my left leg cramped up inexplicably.  After that, I was unable to run for more than a minute at a time without the cramping reoccurring.  It wasn't until months later that I got a diagnosis - my left iliac artery was blicked just above the groin so very little blood was reaching my left leg.  I had bypass surgery in December of 1992.  Although painful, it was completely successful and I resumed training six weeks later.  I ran respectably well for the following two years, winning the Canadian Road Race 10K Championships in 1993 and 1994.  Unfortunately, shortly after my surgery in 1992, I realized that the artery on the right side must be narrowing because I was getting cramping during intense running and racing.  For a while I could compensate somewhat by pacing myself carefully and pushing harder with my left leg, but each year the cramping got worse.  Medical people claimed they could not detect any narrowing and refused to attempt surgery.  By 1996 I could no longer give an all-out effort in races.  Finally, during a workout in March of 1998, the right iliac artery became totally blocked and bypass surgery was performed a couple of days later.  It was wonderful, after that, to be able to run hard again for the first time in years, but at age 39, it was too late for me to become a 32-minute 10K runner again.  I would have to be content with being a top Masters runner.  After so many lost years, no wonder I've been so eager to run hard since my surgery.  Canadian runner and triathlete Carol Montgomery recently had surgery for the same problem and achieved spectacular performances after her surgery.

 

Running to be the top Master is totally different from trying to be the best at the Olympics or the World Championships.  It's ridiculous to take yourself too seriously.  Also, if I compare myself now to what I was at my best, I would be pretty depressed if I hadn't changed my expectations.  However, when I am actually in a race, I still take it seriously and try to give my best effort.  On good days, I still feel as powerful as I did when I was younger 0 I even still feel I'm running fast!  Because of all the health problems and injuries I've gone through, I'm just that I can still run well and not be in pain.

 

I'm sure I'd now be running times closer to my PBs if I was training the way I did when I was younger.  However, I probably couldn't train any harder than I am without falling apart completely.  I still follow the same pattern of training that I always have: Monday easy, Tuesday hard, Wednesday easy, Thursday hard, Friday easy, Saturday/Sunday hard training both days or a race.  However, my Tuesday/Thursday hard days when I was younger included two hard workouts: a hard 4-5 mile tempo run in the morning followed by a long cross-country or track workout in the afternoon.  Now I usually just do one workout.  My Sunday long runs are neither as long nor as fast as they used to be.  My easy days used to include an easy 5-mile run and a weight workout if I was injury-free; and a weight workout and a swim workout if I had a slight injury.  Now my easy days consist of a weight workout or a swim workout, and I almost always skip running completely for those three easy days a week.

 

There are only a few specific things I need to say about my training.  I have always stressed high-quality running: track work, even sprinting, and intense long intervals from distances ranging from 400m to 5000m.  I have always done most of my training on soft surfaces (trails, golf courses) because pavement injures me very quickly.  This year I started doing a lot more stretching than I had ever done before.  I learned many new stretches that were taken from Martial Arts.  I think that my enhanced flexibility has allowed me to maintain my speed this year in spite of the fact that I had to cut back my track work because of Achilles problems.

 

Injuries have taught me that I can never plan far ahead in my running.  At the end of the month, I will run in a Masters’ mile track race in San Francisco.  After that, I will take a break from running in order to let my Achilles tendonitis clear up so that I can run on the track again.  Probably next year will be much like this year.  I will participate in the BC Timex Series (which I won overall this year and last year), and the Great Canadian Bagel national series.  I’ll fit in a few big American road races wherever convenient.  If my Achilles cooperates, I’d like to run in a few track races, possibly even the 5000m at the National Championships.

 

Outside of running, I only worked as a lab technician for a couple of years.  It was a very demanding job that really required 10-12 hour days, and I was too busy with training and travelling to competitions.  For many years, while I made my living from running, I took extra courses at York University in psychology, creative writing and French.  While I was living in Brussels, I took French courses for foreigners.

 

After my sun was born, I became a “full-time mom”.  My husband is an engineering consultant, public speaker, and university/college part-time teacher, so I’m still the traditional “housewife” in many ways.  I give Paul assistance with secretarial work, as well.  Also, I work part-time as a speaker for B.C.’s Esteem Team, a group of Olympic athletes who go to schools throughout the province giving kids motivational talks.  I work mainly with the grade 4-7 age group.  I also do volunteer work to help with the preservation of my fantastic training area, Mundy Park in Coquitlam.

 

My favourite leisure-time activities are reading and writing.  In fact, at times I wish I had majored in English rather than in Biology.  I have toyed with the idea of starting a second career as a freelance science writer, or as an English teacher.  However, right now I’m having so much fun with my running that I don’t want to give up making that my first priority for a while.

SCOTIABANK TORONTO HALF-MARATHON

The ScotiaBank Toronto Half-Marathon held on September 24 this year, is one of the most competitive and exciting race to be held in Canada.  It is part of the Canada Running Series and offers our Canadian athletes an opportunity to test themselves against the best in Canada and some of the best Kenyan road racers.  This year, the course was changed and followed a flatter route along the lakeshore.  The race was dominated by Kenyans as the captured the top 7 places in the men’s race and the top 3 places in the women’s race.  The race was won by Joseph Kamau who has been near the top of the North American racing scene for a few years now.  He completed the course in 1:04:02.  In the women’s race, Lucia Subano won in a time of 1:13:05.  The 1st Canadian was Jeff Lockyer who placed 9th in a time of 1:06:39.  Isabelle Ledroit was the top Canadian female as she placed 4th in a time of 1:14:50.  She was followed by top marathoner Tania Jones in 1:15:06 and 1996 Olympian Danuta Bartoszek in 1:16:20.  In the Masters race, Jerry Kooymans was again at the top of his game as he finished in 1:11:18.  Diane Légaré was also at the top of her form as she placed 9th overall and first Masters in 1:19:03.

The race this year include an added element as a Marathon was run at the same time as the popular half-marathon.  In the men’s race, the event was won by Kenyan Joseph Nderitu who went under 2:20.  He was followed by another Kenyan, Joseph Maina who had won the Quebec City Marathon in August.  In the women’s race, Sue Grise won in 3:08:38.  With Toronto having two marathons in the Fall this year, it will be interesting to see which one will survive next year.

CANADIAN 10K ROAD RUNNING CHAMPIONSHIPS

The Canadian Road Running 10K Championships were once again held in Montreal this year.  The races were held on October 15.  New Champions were crowned this year as Jeremy Deere and Isabelle Ledroit came out on top of the podium.  Deere beat the field with his time of 29:48, just a few seconds ahead of Peter Cardle.  Isabelle Ledroit finished in a time of 34:04, half a minute ahead of second place finisher Nancy Tinari.  Tinari’s performance was still quite impressive considering she won the event in the 80’s and the 90’s and is now running as a Masters.

SYRACUSE FESTIVAL OF RACES

Canadians travelled South of the border on Sunday October 1 to race in the Syracuse, NY Festival of races.  This race attracts some of the fastest road runners racing in North America as winners usually come from African countries.  Sarah Dupre was the highest placing Canadian coming in 5th female overall in 16:41.  Diane Légaré ended up in 15th position and placed 2nd in the Masters category. In the men’s race, Matthew Kerr placed 14th in a speedy 14:56.  He was followed in 21st place by Jerry Kooymans who finished 3rd Masters in 15:32.

 

TUFTS 10K FOR WOMEN

This legendary women’s race has been held in Boston for many years.  This year it was held on October 8th.  Canada was represented by Nancy Tinari who placed as first Masters in a time of 34:57.  Tinari was not a newcomer to this race; she actually won the open category in 1988.

 

ROYAL VICTORIA MARATHON

The Royal Victoria Marathon held in Victoria, BC was held on Sunday October 8.  Colin Dignum was the overall male winner in a time of 2:26:52 which placed him 3rd on the Canadian rankings list.  In the women race, Cindy Rhodes won in a time of 2:54:22.  The weekend also included an 8K race won by James Morrison and Kate O’Connor.

GREATER HARTFORD MARATHON

Paula Davalan accomplished quite a performance when she placed 3rd at the Greater Hartford Marathon on October 15.  This wonderful Fall marathon meanders through some lovely neighbourhoods all decorated for Halloween.  The course is scenic yet challenging.  Davalan had a great performance as she completed the course in 2:47:17.  This places her 7th on the Canadian list so far this year.

 

TORONTO MARATHON

The Toronto Marathon had a speedy foreigner win the event on Sunday October 15.  Moroccan Damaoui El Mostafa broke the course record and ran the fastest marathon on Canadian soil this year when he complete the race in 2:15:17.  His dominance was evident as he finished over 15 minutes ahead of 2nd place finisher Mario Fattore.  In the women’s event, the race was much tighter as Jennifer Cooper won in 2:59:04.  She was followed by Karen Cowling in 2:59:42.  The accompanying half marathon also saw some fast times amongst the men as John Sence of the United States finished in 1:04:41, almost 7 minutes ahead of second place finisher Kent Hollingsworth.  In the women’s race, previous winner Sarah Hunter won in a time of 1:19:06, also 7 minutes ahead of second place finisher Angela Strange.

2000 SYDNEY OLYMPICS

The Olympic Games are done for another 4 years.  As usual many wonderful performances were recorded, such as the Olympic Marathon record set by Japanese female runner Takahashi in 2:23:14, or the repeat Gold medal performance by Haile Gebresellassie in the 10,000m.  Canadians had the opportunity to witness the strong performance of Kevin Sullivan who placed 5th in the 1500m.  Bruce Deacon showed his resilience in the face of hot conditions as he finished 44th in the marathon in a time of 2:21:38.  In the 10,000m, Jeff Schiebler and Sean Kaley competed in the semi-finals but did not advance to the final.  For the women, Tina Connelly also ran well in her 10,000m race, but could not advance to the final round.  Unfortunately for us, two of our best prospects could not compete because of injury: Leah Pells in the 1500m and Carol Montgomery in the 10,000m.
