“The leader was some guy in a blue shirt,” Karsten Brown observed about the first several miles of the Metric Marathon (26.3 km). Karsten and racing team mates Jason Tripp and Peter Keating all held back while the blue-shirted harrier expended himself in the initial going. But Brown and Keating passed him when they reached the hills of Ellicott City around eight miles. Karsten knew he had the race won when Keating almost veered off course when they entered the bike paths in Long Reach village. “I had to wait for Jason,” Mr. Keating lamented, “although Karsten would have beaten me anyway.” Brown continued hammering and won in 1:35:21. “I never take a day off,” he said. He had run a 50 km (31 mile) race the day before the Metric Marathon, which he regarded as “speedwork.” “I didn’t run as hard [in the 50k]”, he said. Brown said he expects to run a 50 miler next week!

Ellicott City resident Kara Waters handled the women’s competition with ease, although she too had some trouble staying on course in the twisty bike paths of Long Reach. “The guy behind me kept telling me which way to turn,” she said. After finishing (1:46:20), she admitted the Metric was a hilly, difficult course. “It’s best that I didn’t review the course beforehand.” Her four (!) daughters greeted her at the finish line. “She’s stinky!” Lila noted. Like the men’s winner, Waters is no stranger to long distance racing. In the weeks before the Metric Marathon, she finished the Baltimore Marathon and the Marine Corps Marathon. Maybe she’ll take a break now.

A veritable new-comer to racing, Donna Wecker amazingly finished third among the women (1:55:42). She had never run 16 miles before except in a training run the week before, and Clyde’s 10k in the Spring was the first 6.2 mile race she had ever run. “I never got into the lead,” Donna said, “but I was in second for a brief time when the other woman went off course.”

The Metric course was marked in red and black arrows, and a biker did lead the race, but the top runners lost him on the bike paths. Understandably, they might have been a little rusty at navigating the Metric route because the race had not been run since 2007. Snow and ice had forced cancellation of the event in 2008 and 2009. Anyone who registered for the race in those two years got a free entry this year, any many took advantage of the offer. The race was moved up a month from December to November to prevent a third catastrophe. The weather cooperated this time. It was sunny and pleasant, and the race sold out for the first time in its 34-year history.

The Metric 5k was also staged for runners who couldn’t spare two or more hours to run the Metric Marathon. In the shorter race, Harry Colby and Gary Smolyak clobbered the men’s field (18:08 and 18:10, respectively). Leading from the start, they talked to each other during the competition. In the women’s 5k, 46-year-old Robyn Humphrey beat 17-year-old Julie Gessler, but they had quite a battle. After finishing (19:18), Robyn left for yoga and massage.

All finishers received a pair of gray painters gloves with the Metric Marathon logo, as well as all the Ledo pizza they could eat. Post-race refreshments also included Bagel Bin bagels, Overall and age group winners received wooden plaques and gift certificates from Feet First of Hickory Ridge. 485 completed the Metric, while 182 finished the 5k.

The Howard County Striders put on the Metric Marathon to commemorate the linkage between the old city of Ellicott City and the new city of Columbia, and the course threads both. John and Ann Worley directed the Metric Marathon and 5k. They have directed the race for many years, and were relieved (along with most of the runners) to finally have some good weather. The Striders wish to thank the Howard County Police for providing traffic control and dozens of dedicated volunteers who served as course marshals and water dispensers.

2010 Grapevine 8K Teams

07 November 2010

A person under 20 years old won the Run Through the Grapevine 8k for the first time in the race’s 17 year history. On the notoriously hilly cross country course at Linganore Winery, Kyle Phillips took the lead after the first mile and was not challenged thereafter. Phil Diven tried to catch up, but couldn’t get closer than about 20 meters throughout the remainder of the race. “I was on a bungey cord,” Phil said. “Behind by 20m, then 30m, then 10m at the finish.” That big hill at 2 1/4 miles slowed all the front runners except Phillips, who merely pulled away. “Those were among the toughest hills I’ve ever run,” he confessed. Born in the same year that the Grapevine was first run, Kyle runs for Waynesboro High School and had run the Pennsylvania State Cross Country Championship (a 5k) the day before. “I didn’t win there,” he noted. Because of his age and educational status, Phillips could accept the neither the prize bottle of wine nor the award check, which was instead donated to Waynesboro High.

As she has several times before, Westminster’s Sherry Stick dominated the women’s competition and won the race. Although the well-known Denise Knickman was on her heels throughout the race, Sherry’s greatest danger proved to be a recording glitch that had an unknown woman finishing fourth overall in 29 minutes. Once this error was corrected, Sherry became the uncontested winner. “No, I never saw her [Knickman]”, Stick said. Sherry previously won the Grapevine race in 2008, and in 2009 she placed.

Phil Devin may not have won the race, but his “Old Dragons” team won the men’s open team competition. The team was composed of alumni and former runners from Howard Community College. Their old coach, Steve Musselman, even accompanied them to the race. They felt it quite a triumph to beat the Waynesboro High School team!

To no one’s surprise, Sherry Stick’s team from Westminster, BWAC (for Baltimore-Washington Athletic Club), easily won the open women’s team competition. BWAC overcame a cursory challenge from Howard County’s Run-4-Chocolate women and won for the seventh time in a row. Or maybe longer, the records don’t go further back. They have been winning the women’s team race since young Kyle Phillips was in diapers.

A truly epic team competition arose in the Family Team competition, as the Gesslers’ Whinery faced off against the McIntyre’s Mac Attack (“Mc” attack– get it?). Both teams were lead by their respective fathers, and both featured seasoned high school cross county runners. The Mc’s won this round, possibly because Becky Gessler was running on a sprained ankle. “Yeah, it hurt,” Becky said.

This year’s Run Through the Grapevine followed the same difficult course as usual through the grapevines of the Wineberry Plantation of the Linganore Winery, which is technically in Carroll County not Howard County. Nevertheless, the Howard County Striders staged the event. Jason Tripp directed the event, and had the assistance of the Winery and its owner Anthony Aellen. For the first time, the Grapevine employed chip-timing using the Chronotrack Timing system. This may be also the first time any timing chips were ever employed in a cross country race in Carroll County.

Post-race refreshments included four dozen loaves of nut bread, which has been a signature of the event since its inception. In the old days, former race directory Gerry Clapper baked all the loaves himself, but in the modern era the baking task has been shared by ten Strider women, most of them members of the notorious Run4Chocolate teams. Indeed, the chocolate nut bread was particularly good. Award winners also received gift certificates for the wine, which they immediately redeemed after the race. Because of the fine autumn weather, many runners lingered after the competition to enjoy wine and condiments on the lush grass of the winery.
