If we meet someone who owes us thanks, we right away remember that. But how often do we meet someone to whom we owe thanks without remembering that?
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is a true measure of our thanksgiving. - W.T. Purkiser
No longer forward nor behind
I look in hope or fear;
But, grateful, take the good I find,
The best of now and here.
- John Greenleaf Whittier
Thank You! Happy Thanksgiving!

(The Women of Rimini)
Late Breaking News:
September 21st, 2008 Nathan’s Sprint and Olympic Distance Tri Tempe Town Lake, Arizona
There were three Salt River Triathlete relay teams: Mary Covington, who came in under the wire as the swimmer, helped the team of Michelle Yabeny and Martina Ashley beat the veteran team of Ironman Eric Long, Michelle Long and MacElyn Enas, who, in turn, zipped by Catherine McGint, Thomas Jefferson and Rachel Seepie. In the sprint, there were 231 individual gals who swam, biked, and ran: A youthful Louise Peterson was the oldest and the number one in her AG of 60-64. Red Hot Mama, the effervescent Sue Iverson, was speedy to swim, bike, and run into the top spot among the 55-59 year olds. The ever present Jan Herzfeld rounded out the 50-54 year old division. Second overall was the perennial winner of the 45-49 year old group, Jane Esahak Gage. Ironwoman Alison Burnett was among the top ten in the 40-44 group.
Among the 148 women of the Olympic race, Diane Dedek used this as her last "prime the pump" race before Kona and won. Janice Shaw won the 50-54 division, while Marsh Wickett placed top 5, with Debbie Gobins completing the group. Deanna Richarson was top 5 and Julie Poisson top 10 in the 45-49 AG. Among the 40-44 year olds, Susy Bacal emerged on top with Michelle Thiry in 2nd; Jona Davis placed top 5 and Bettina Warnholtz top 20. www.redrockco.com
September 27th-28th World Duathlon Championship
Rimini, Italy The Saddlebrooke gals of Tucson fared well in Rimini: Kathi Hanley, 55-59, finished well. Karin Bivens was top ten in the 60-64 AG. Arlene Gerety of Tucson and Alaska was top five in her division of the 65-69 year olds.
Triathlon coach Kate Samuelson was 4th in the very competitive 50-54 AG. She was also the first American to finish in that division. The best bike split of this group though went to "Überbiker" Nancy Pauw, who once again put the hammer down and completed the bike in 1:15:09 – some speed for a grandma, but then not many grandmas are endurance cyclists, heli-hikers, skiers and two time Ironman finishers.
Nancy pointed out that one of her duathlon friends was also at Worlds: “Kristin Palmer from Scottsdale, my new "Du-Buddy," also competed at the world duathlon championships in Rimini. We both qualified at the Desert Duathlon in the 50-54 AG last Feb. Originally, I think, she might have said that she did not have the result she expected; in the end, I hope she was very proud of her accomplishment; it was a thrill just to be there. It was for me and I am proud of both of us!” As are we here at Irongeezelle! Congratulations to all!

October 4th Ironcare Splash and Dash #3
Tempe Town Lake, Tempe, AZ
Suzie Clements, 60, was the youngest of the over 60 set, and won her age group: youngest of the young was Nicoletta Carbone. Then, there were plenty of gals in between: Winning the 50-54 division, the swift Laura Clarke-Steffen accompanied by her husband Bob. In the top five in their respective age groups were: Mary-Ann Simerius, Kelly O’Rourke, Kristin Balan, Deanna Montablono, Erica Mosser, and Katherine Palmer. www.4peaksracing.com
October 4th, The Rocky Point Sandy Beach Olympic and Sprint Triathlon/Duathlon
Princesa Resort, Puerto Peñsasco, Mexico
While the Arizonans consider this erstwhile Mexican fishing port on the Sea of Cortes an extension of Arizona, despite border fences on the US side, it is indeed Mexican homeland. This pristine area with miles and miles of beaches and the beautiful Gulf of California welcomed the 1st annual tri and duathlon event of Tri-Family racing. Other triathlon companies, namely Red Rock, have made this destination one of their favorite tri get-aways, which speaks for the welcoming attitude of the town towards tri- and duathletes. Under sunny skies with 84 degree temperatures, athletes took to the water and the streets. Since there several issues (weather, timing) affecting the outcome of the race, please contact www.trifamilyracing.com for further information.
October 5, 2008 Tour de Scottsdale
Scottsdale Environs, Arizona This bike race is not only becoming bigger, but it seems more competitive each year. Katie Ellis is back! She was the first female finisher in a time of 2:36:57.9, overall 35th finisher in a field of nearly a 1000 riders, and, of course, age group winner of the 10 year age group, 20-29. Congratulations, Katie! We are glad that you are racing well and healthy! Diana Heintz was 5th in the same division. Claudia ElDib was smack in the middle of the 30-39 year olds. Laura Nagy, Amy Engel and Silene Etebari were among the finishers in a strong 40-49 year old group. Janice Shaw and husband Tim, both 50-59, finished in 4:19.34.4 and 4:19:46.1 respectively. (Read more about their Trifecta Adventures on In her Own Words) Another couple in the Tour: The Friels, Joyce and Joe. Joyce won her age group, 60 and over, while Joe was second in the same group in a smoking time of 2:59:18.6. They have both been training in real hill country over the summer – in the Rocky Mountains- and it shows. www.dcbadventures.com
October 11th, 2008 Baltimore Running Festival Baltimore, Maryland This 8th annual festival grew by another 20% (they must be doing something right) to well over 17,500 runners, who finished in Camden Yards. Among the marathoners, Juda McGannon, who was one of the pacers this time out, and described that it was inspiring to help others reach their marathon goal. Juda, 42, of Hunt Valley, Maryland finished in a time of 3:59:35. Three Arizona gals traveled to Charm City: Yuliya Milillo, 27, of Scottsdale, Tracy Miller, 42, of Paradise Valley, and Kim Olivier ,36, of Chandler. www.baltimoremarathon.com
October 11th Beat Breast Cancer Boot Camp
Chaparral Park, Scottsdale, Arizona
The sergeants of Code Pink Boot Camp brought this mini boot camp for the first time to Scottsdale. It served as a fundraiser for the Susan G Komen Foundation. Women and men were put through the paces for 90 minutes on an intricate obstacle course of hurdles and agility ladders by the “drill sergeants.” It was fun and a good work-out, providing just the right combination of cardio, strength training and flexibility work to make it count, and with all the proceeds going to a great charity it was a definite win-win. www.codepinkbootcamp |
(The ladies of Kona: Ginger, Helga and Louise in the Panty Run) October 11th, 2008 Ironman Hawaii World Championship
Kona, Hawaii
In this, the 30th anniversary, edition of the Ironman World Championship, the Endurance Empress, Louise McGonigal, achieved her goal to be crowned Queen of Kona in the 65-69 AG. After setting an age group record on the IM Lake Placid course, Louise bested Beatrice Burns and Lolly Rodgers on the islands of Aloha on this hot, humid and windy day. “Well, I am so relieved to have "survived" to win that BRUTAL race, the most difficult in my 20th IM. I so wanted to be able to handle the heat, humidity, wind but severe vomiting reduced me to walking 8 plus miles,” reports Louise.
And still, she won – a true champion!
Joining Louise and her mate Dave were Ginger Wiken and Helga Rinneard both of Orillia, Canada. On a Geronimo mission, Ginger had earned her spot at Lake Placid and finished here 2nd among the 123 40-44 year olds. Helga, 61, got her spot in FL 07, and this day she was top ten, in spot 7. Quite a Canadian trio, eh!
Youngest competitor this day was Ariel Henbest, 18, of Kona who came in a half hour after the oldest competitor, Harriet Anderson, 72, of San Carlos, CA. In the 60-64 year old division, Cherie Gruenfeld won the age group, making it her eighth age group win in Kona. Tucsonan Diane Dedek and Floridian Susan Wallis placed among the top tier of the 55-59 AG. Normally, Irongeezelle lets the pros be pros, but a human interest story involving the winner Chrissie Wellington needs mentioning as it reflects the spirit of Ironman: Chrissie had a flat a mile 56; she fixed the flat, but was unable to use her Co2 cartridges which had some sort of defect. Just as she was wondering what to do, here came Rebekah Keat, a fellow pro competitor, and she gave Chrissie the new cartridges. “To me what she did epitomizes everything that is good about the sport,” said Chrissie gratefully at the conclusion of the race, in which she had set a new marathon record.
October 12th, 2008 PBR Off-Road Triathlon
Tempe Town Lake and Papago Park, Arizona
Pabst Blue Ribbon, a beer sponsor, for an off-road triathlon – what’s not to love? First, a 750 meter swim, followed by a 10 mile mountain bike and a 3.1 mile ride, a slide into the finish, and then, is there a beer in my future?
99 fun-loving off-roadie chicks thought, yes, that’s for me. Now this appears a sport for the young: "Oldest" competitor was Linda Usher, 55-59. There were three brave 50-54 year old boomers: Annette Adams, Joan McGue, Marda Sorenson. Cindy Alt, not old at all, won the 45-49 division. Terri Hollander was top ten in the 40-44 group. Ms. Palin, no, not that hokey, oops, hockey mom, (sorry, could not resist that), but our Carrie Palin doing her true “joe six pack” event. Kyla May, 30-34, continued to rock and keep a focus on her goal to exercise and be fit – this time dirt devil style. www.redrockco.com October 17th Ironcare Splash and Dash #4
Tempe Town Lake, Arizona 179 racers came out for this unique Friday night “Happy Hour.” No cocktails for this crowd, at least not until after a swim and a run – you know if the Chief of Tribe, who presents this race series ,is involved, there is bound to be some imbibing of adult refreshment involved along the way. Okay, back to the splash and dash: Chelsea Youngs was the laterne rouge among the females, but not last among the racers. Jessica Goodsell, 18, was the youngest participant, while Joyce Foote, at the young age of 55, was the oldest. Deborah Gobins was third in the 50-54 division. Among the 45-49 year olds, Susan Hyden, Mary Ann Sinerius and Majella Vito. Amariys Drozdz, Carrie Bailey and Kill Futia swam and ran in the 40-44 division. In the second largest age group, 35-39, Lisa Pinson, Audra Taylor and Julie Campbell celebrated “Thank God, it’s Friday!” D’Andrea Spann, Kristina Kelly, and Jennifer Hamilton, though five years younger, concurred. The largest age group was the 25-29 year olds (they can still stay up late at night) and Chelsea Youngs, Heather Sumner and Adriene Barnett made this outing part of the party, as did Hannah Look, Elaine Bentley, and Noelle Baca. www.4peaksracing.com October 18th Pumpkinman Triathlon Festival
Lake Mead, Las Vegas
This triathlon festival served as the USAT Club Nationals. The Californians ruled: LA Triathlon Club won Division I (of course, with reigning Ironman World Champion, Cherie Gruenfeld, racing and winning, how could they lose?) dethroning last year’s champs, the Columbia Multisport Club, who edged out the Triathlon Club of San Diego. Second in Division II was the Phoenix Triathlon Club: Claire Moty, Judy Kamela, Jenifer Garner, Milessa Farmer racing for the club. In the Half-Max, a half-ironman distance event, Laura Nagy of Glendale, AZ finished in the top 10. The favorite of all, Sister Madonna Buder was there to claim her victory in the 70-99 year old age group. www.bbsctri.com October 19th Chandler Challenge: 10km &5km Run
Chandler, Arizona
The race staff of Four Peaks Racing did not get much rest. After a successful Splash and Dash the night before, it was off to the races again: The Chandler Education Foundation presented two races in one: 400 runners in the 5k, a most popular distance, and a 153 runners in the 10k. Gracelynn Walker, 4!, was the final finisher in the 5k. Of course, Mom and Dad were near by, but Gracelynn wanted to step solo across the finish. 69 years separated her from the oldest finisher, Sandy Bearden, 75. How cool is that?

October 19th JCC Scottsdale Sprint Triathlon and Duathlon JCC Aquatic Center, Scottsdale, Arizona
A much better turn-out than Rocky Point and an ideal temperature of 75 degrees under sunny skies, this pool sprint had 99 female competitors with Julie Poisson winning in a time of 48:39, who outpaced Cara van Eck by only 7 seconds – an exciting finish. Nancy Siefer won the oldest female age group, 65-69. Among the youngest were Paris Hasl, Sjoukje Schwoustra, Noelle Bergthold in the 15-19 division. And the rest: The absolute mid-pack from each age group: Rhea Schwoustra (do you think she had a relation in the race?), Jessica Huber, Teresa Francis, Rose Miller, Devon Meyer, Dana Kazemi, Terry Dyshorn, and Laura Lamberto-White. For those, namely Rebecca Kovacs, Cindy McFarland, Rosalee Gladden, Sandy Haupt, Diana Hall, and Jennifer Schnur, who thought that getting “wet” is for fishes, there was a duathlon held and they all won their age group. www.trifamilyracing.com
October 20th, 2008 Nike Women’s Marathon and Half Marathon
Union Square, San Francisco With a kaleidoscopic race poster reminiscent of the Haight-Ashbury days, a slogan “Run Like A Girl,” a finisher necklace from none other than Tiffany's, a women’s size Nike Dri-FIT shirt, and a breathtaking course along the Pacific, twenty thousand couldn’t say no – neither women nor men. More had wanted to join in this fun, but this race sells out quickly and only through the luck of a draw can you get in. So if you are thinking about next year, think now. Dorothy Williams, 76, of Coto de Caza, CA thought ahead and was the oldest marathon finisher – not your typical Orange County housewife; oldest half marathonern was Joanne O’ Brien of Reno, Nevada. Besides raising 18 million to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, this year’s race created controversy: An amateur, Arien O’Connell, a special needs teacher, won in a time of 2:55:11, but a pro Nora Colligan was declared the initial winner in a time of 3:06:30. After an editorial in the San Francisco Chronicle decried this and hundreds of readers chimed in, Nike reconsidered. In the end, Nike decided that the race win and a Tiffany bowl would go to both. Good thinking! www.insiderunning.nike.com |
(Kim Robinson, an Adventure racer went in the lake, a Triathlete emerged) October 26th SOMA Quarterman and Half-Ironman Distance Race Tempe Town Lake, Arizona
The premier October event in the state of Arizona: And no, not just because it was Dave Watts’ 70th birthday. And no, not just because the Arizona Irongeezer joined his friend, the Canadian Irongeezer, to celebrate. No, just because this event is BIG with 1900 athletes from all over the USA, especially this year when it also served as the Best of the USA race, crowning one male and female the best in the United States.
There were 270 female starters in the Quarterman distance: 1000 meter swim, a bike ride, and a 6.55 run. Seasoned veteran Darrel Ryan won the 60-64 division – she would have liked a beer, but she got a bottle of red wine instead. Love those antioxidants, Darrel! In the 55-59 year AG, the Red Hot Mama, Sue Iverson, took the silver medal, but she also secured a date night for Valentine’s Day – she and paramour Bud will be running in the Skirtsports’ Skirtchaser event. Sue won the entry, since she was fastest to the stage, even after racing, where Nicole DeBoom, owner of Skirtsports, presented her with an entry for two. As Sue is a loyal customer of Skirtsports to boot, this seems only fair. On the way to the airport, Nancy Pauw, Überbiker, won the 50-54 AG, Janice Shaw was 3rd at the distance, even after her trifecta of events in the last few weeks. Other in their AG: Denise Latimer, Marsh Wickett, and Jan Hertzfeld.
As soon as Peggy Ellis, 45-49, ran into the finish line, her first thought was her daughter Katie, who soon triumphantly returned to triathlon with a win in the half ironman distance race. Despite the heat and exhaustion, their exuberance knew no bounds as they slid into the finish together on the water slide.
Jona Davis ,looking fit and fast in a tribal race suit ,won her division…Alison Burnett, with two Ironman events on the docket for 2009, looked too young to be in that AG. Stephanie Stromfors, mentored the day prior by fellow law school graduate Kelly Flood, used all the refresher tips from Kelly to successfully finish. Ellen Summo, 35-39, in her first longer distance event, again brought her running speed and flew out of transition and into the finish with a smile of relief and into a top ten spot.
Another new triathlete was born this day, Kim Robinson: “While waiting to swim, all I could think about was what the Irongeezer had taught me about swimming in a crowd. I held my line, kicked hard when touched and was not going to back down to anyone who tried to swim over me. Nobody was going to disrupt my swim and sure enough, I took 4 minutes off my time from just 4 weeks ago! I did it without taking rest breaks this time. I really focused on sighting and "thumbs to hips" in the water and I'M THRILLED at how I felt when I got out. Strong, relaxed and ready to ride.” And besides that, a smiling happy people finish at the end, it was Kim and Rick’s 6th anniversary! And she couldn’t not have had a better supporter! Happy anniversary!
Of course, the half ironman distance had its share of female participants – 209 of them.
Among the finishers on this hot (91 degrees in shade, add 15 in the sun) and dry day, when nary a puff of wind was felt under cloudless skies: Diane Alkins, Deborah Gobins, Stephanie Warnholtz, Diane Price, Kyla May, Regina Syktich, Kelly Maurer, Valerie Rottman and Julie Poisson. Despite wicked race nerves, Laverne Lindsey completed her first half! Congratulations! And more friends of Kelly Flood were among the half finishers: Katie and Brian Flahert ran across the magic line in a time of 5:29 and 5:23, respectively. There were also 36 relays who swam, biked and ran the 1.2 miles, 56 mile and 13.1 mile distance - among them The Cactus Racers, made up swimmer Ashely, Scott ,the biker and Todd ,the runner. They finished in place #18. www.redrockco.com
October 26th, 2008 Marine Corps Marathon Arlington, Virginia
Ooh-rah! It is the popular People’s Marathon. There were thousands of runners. Each had a story. Here is one featured on the race’s website, which Irongeezelle just had to share:
Triple Threat (no kidding)
When triplets Heera, Punna and Moti Khanna turned 33 this year, they knew they wanted to do something special together. Heera thought running the Marine Corps Marathon would be a natural fit. “It would be cool to run considering all the three's that were occurring this year. We are 33-year-old triplets, it's the 33rd MCM, this will be my third MCM and Punna’s third marathon,” explained Heera. Moti will be participating in her first marathon on October 26 alongside Punna and Heera. “Heera was my inspiration to start seriously running when she completed the 2005 MCM,” said Moti. “None of us had ever tried anything so challenging before. When I saw her success, I wanted to try too. I'm very excited and a little nervous to be running my first marathon. But, I know that with the support of my sisters, I'm going to do well.” “I'm so excited to run with them because I remember how exhilarating it was to run and have them cheering for me,” said Heera of her first MCM experience. “Now I'll be able to cheer for them while we're on the course.” “We are planning to go to the MCM Expo together. We never miss an opportunity to go shopping,” said Punna. “The afternoon before the race, we’ll get together to do an assembly line of tasks, like attach race numbers and timing chips, lay out all other accessories we want along during the race such as hats, hair bands and gels.” Ultimately, the sisters hope their run will encourage other families to get fit together. “If everyone has the same mindset, you're more likely to be successful,” said Moti. “You have to do the work, but if everyone around you supports you, it makes it that much easier to do all of that hard work!” Look for these Khanna sisters wearing bibs 33, 333 and 3333 on race day. Is that cool, or what? A real triple threat, not just a clever headline. Update: They all finished: Heera, Moti and Punna ran in together in a time of 5:47:06. A perfect finish! And joining the triplets was Juda McGannon who ran her second marathon in seven days in a time of 4:45:55.

At Soma, Irongeezelle had the pleasure of chatting with Laverne Lindsay who hosts “Ride Girls Ride” Saturday mornings. She is always looking for more women to join her Saturday ride. The more, the merrier. "Ride Girl Ride" is held in conjunction with the Saturday Tribe Ride… Laverne hosts a women’s only beginner ride. Weitzel, Chief of Tribe, notes: “Laverne is great; she gives you pointers, makes sure that you make it back in one piece, and points you in the right direction with answers to your “silly” questions. “Silly”, they are not, but when we are new, sometimes we don’t ask because we don’t want our to feel silly for asking a question. Trust me, you will not be left out, alienated in any way on Laverne’s ride. It is truly for the beginner that wants a guide to help them get into the sport. " Big, small, short, tall, Laverne accepts them all.” Questions? E-mail Laverne: rastainred@hotmail.com

Stars of Screen and Television: Before the Endurance Empress, Louise McGonigal and Irongeezer Canada Dave Watts departed for the islands of Aloha, they had to get their beauty sleep. Why? Not for the trip ahead, but for live appearance on the local TV station for breakfast Television. And that meant an early call for them and their bikes. Ah, the life of athletic grandparents! That should have motivated those couch potatoes watching.
The Adventure Continues: Brenda and Bill Szwec are on African safari this month. As Ironmen finishers, they are never content just to sit and watch the wildlife, they have to get into the fray; so, they are hiking up Mount Kilimanjaro while on this fascinating continent, ancestral home to us all.
