HCS Resolution Run 8K
Jeffers Hill Neighborhood Center, Columbia, MD
Tuesday, January 1, 2002
Conducted by Howard County Striders

The Howard County Striders started the New Year right with a Resolution Run at Jeffers Hill. The race was not to the fastest of the 115 runners, however, but to the most accurate, since the winner was he who completed the 8 km course the closest to 11:00 am without resort to timing devices. Most runners were very accurate as 70 of them finished within one minute of the appointed hour. Jose Costa proved the most accurate, coming within 0.12 seconds of the hour. Jose won a handsome brass mantle clock for his effort, while all those finishing within 30 seconds of the hour received runner's gloves (their choice of white or gray). For being the least accurate (over 12 minutes off), Chuck Daniels won a bottle of warm, non-alcoholic beer.

Mr. Costa did benefit from the excellent pacing of fellow Bagel Runners such as Bill Arbelaez and Daniel Jonas. The three all started the convoluted Jeffers Hill course together about 40 minutes before 11:00 am. Importantly, they all stopped for water, after which point Bill thought they were too fast and Dan thought they were just right. At the end, Jose "slacked off" the pace and wound up winning. "If it hadn't been for that d--- water stop...," groused Phil Lang, who finished one second after the hour (his most accurate finish ever).

In addition to the exciting finish, the Resolution Run featured a post-race brunch with doughnuts and a difficult pop-quiz with questions ranging from current affairs to athletics to the seven presidents of the Howard County Striders (can you name them?). Past president Paul Goldenberg "blitzed" the quiz and also won an award. As they have for the last 20 years, Dave and Judi Tripp directed the Resolution Run. The Run remains one of the most popular and unique events on the Strider calendar.   Article by Jim Carbary
