There's no shame in being beaten by Bolt

There's no shame in being beaten by Bolt

Islander gets to race against Olympic champion; Canadian champ not part of event

DAN BARNES
Canwest News Service

EDMONTON —There is no hope for a fairy-tale finish, since every race amounts to Usain Bolt and the seven dwarfed also-rans.

It doesn’t matter where, when or who provides the opposition.

That’s how the 100-metre field shapes up if the reigning Olympic champ, world-record holder and majestic freak of nature settles his six-foot-five frame into the blocks for a sub-10-second jaunt to the top of the podium.

Tiger Woods once held similar sway over the PGA field. Wayne Gretzky could dominate NHL ice and Michael Jordan the NBA court like that, once upon a time. And that’s surely how the 100 metres will go down at the Festival of Excellence track meet June 11 at the University of Toronto.

But almost any sprinter with a heartbeat wants to be in the field. Beaten by Bolt is practically a badge of honour. Beaten by Bolt is the rarest of opportunities because the challengers, for lack of a more apt description, know two things for certain. They will not win, but when the gun goes off, the big man from Jamaica will pull the field along with him quickly enough to provoke personal bests, even in lopsided defeat.

Jared Connaughton of New Haven, P.E.I., and Toronto’s Anson Henry are the lucky Canadian content in a field that will be beaten by Bolt on June 11. Also lining up as fleet-footed fodder are Americans Shawn Crawford, Bernard Williams and Ivory Williams, and Jamaicans Marvin Anderson and Mario Forsythe.

“He might be the best sprinter who ever lived,” Henry said of Bolt. “Anybody trying to get better wants to run with the best, to see how you compare. The hype is going to be so big that there will be good energy for the race. It’s going to be good for all of us.”

How good? Well, the two-year-old track surface is Polytan, on which Asafa Powell and Tim Montgomery set previous world records. As mentioned, Bolt will be leading the charge to the finish line. Right now, Henry’s PB is 10.12, but it might not last the night.

“If I could get into the 10.0s I’d be cool with that,” Henry said, while shrugging off the notion he’s lucky to be in the field.

“I’ve been in a lot of big races in my career. The good thing about this race is it’s in my hometown and it will bring a lot of attention to the sport.”

Edmonton-based sprinter Pierre Browne thought he would have a chance to share in the spectacle. Rightly so, since meet organizers were adamant about putting Canadians in each event and Browne is the reigning national champ at the distance, having beaten Connaughton and Henry last summer at the University of Windsor with a stadium-record time of 10.19 seconds. Henry was third and Connaughton fifth that day.

Browne and coach Derek Evely were confident enough of Browne’s inclusion that they planned the approach to this summer’s title defence at the Canadian championships around the Toronto race.

“For Pierre, it was the keystone of our entire preparation for nationals. That was key,” Evely said Friday. “You’re running against Usain Bolt. It’s a high-quality race and that’s what we look for.

“While I applaud the meet organizers in Toronto for putting it together, it’s too bad Pierre got hooped on it. They came to us and asked us if Pierre was interested, based on the fact Pierre is the Canadian champ, he ran the final leg of the relay against Bolt at the Olympics and he’s from Toronto. From a marketing perspective there is not a single guy in the country who should be in that race ahead of Pierre.

“He was on the list. Somehow he was removed and Jared and Anson were put in there. They came back to me (Thursday) and said, ‘We’re sorry.’ Jared should be in there, no doubt. The other Canadian should clearly be Pierre. They were very good about it and there are no hard feelings, but in the end he gets screwed.”

That is certainly how it feels.

“It’s a pretty big disappointment,” said Browne. “Competing in Toronto against the fastest guy in the world would have been a great opportunity. It’s out of my control. I did what I can do. I’m the Canadian champion. I won last year in a decent time.”

Meet organizers knew how controversial the picks could be, so they set up a selection committee and started with an initial list of 35 men; five times the number they needed to flesh out the field.

“There were about four or five Canadians on the list and we narrowed it down to two,” said meet director Carl Georgevski, who insisted Browne was never officially in the race and therefore could not have been removed.

“For whatever reason, we felt Anson Henry and Jared Connaughton would be the best candidates. We’re human in this environment. If it was a mistake, it was a mistake.”

The committee’s reasoning apparently was based on Browne’s relative inactivity this season.

“It’s a weak approach,” Browne said. “I don’t think it’s a fair situation.”

With only two lanes devoted to Canadians, this story wasn’t going to end happily ever after for a handful of hopefuls. That one of them is the national champ seems ludicrous.

Running for a good reason

http://www.theguardian.pe.ca/index.cfm?sid=255632&sc=98

Running for a good reason

EDITORIAL STAFF
The Guardian

The second annual Luke McIver Relay for Parkinson’s will take place on Saturday, Aug. 8, and this year it will consist of many runners.

In August 2008, the young man from Kinkora ran 250 kilometres in four days.

He harnessed his energy, enthusiasm and love of running for the cause of Parkinson’s, as all of the money raised was donated to this cause. He accomplished his run in honour of his grandmother, who is living with Parkinson’s, and his grandfather, who died with the disease.

Maureen Larkin, president of the Charlottetown support group, says they plan to repeat the ‘Tip to Tip Run’ in a different format this year.

“We want to get more people involved and use the event not only to raise funds, but also awareness of the situation of Parkinson’s in P.E.I.,” she said.

Participants will enter the Relay for Parkinson’s as a team, which will consist of a minimum of six people. The route, from Souris to Tignish, will be divided into 20-km legs.

Teams will run and/or walk one leg of the relay. Each member of the team may run or walk the entire 20 kms, or they may divide it up. Either way, every bit of the route from Souris to Tignish will be ran or walked by a participant.

The planning committee will identify 10 or 12 starting points and all the teams will start at the same time.
Larkin said they plan to have a minimum of 20 teams.

McIver himself plans to enter a team, but he will also join some of the other teams during the day. All the runners/walkers will be invited to celebrate the event with a barbecue in Charlottetown at the end of the day.

Participants are asked to set a goal of $750 per team. This means each member of the team will raise a minimum of $125. There is no registration fee and each participant will receive a free T-shirt. There will also be prizes for various goals reached, such as the best time, the most money raised, etc.

Approximately 8,400 people across the Maritimes have Parkinson’s.

Of all the neurological diseases, Parkinson’s disease has the highest incidence.

More people are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease than ALS, MS, MD, AIDS, leukemia, and ovarian cancer combined.

To participate in the relay people must register their team at the Parkinson’s office located at the Volunteer Resource Centre, 81 Prince St., 8:30-4p.m. Pledge sheets can be picked up there or from any member of the planning team.

Islanders in top 10 at Blue Nose; records set at Rural Raider Run

Nicholson, Clark end up in top 10 at Blue Nose marathon

HALIFAX — A pair of Prince Edward Island runners finished in the top 10 of the Scotiabank Blue Nose Marathon in Halifax on the weekend.
Jen Nicholson of Cornwall was the top women’s finisher, ending up in eight place with a time of 3:00:07. It was Nicholson’s first appearance at the marathon while it was Clark’s sixth.
Summerside’s Scott Clark placed third in 2:49:24. A veteran of all six Blue Nose runs, he has been on the podium for the past three runs after placing second in 2007 and 2008.
Clark said there was no catching the eventual winner, Scotsburn’s David MacLennan, who has won the race four times. His winning time was in 2:36:05.
“We saw him for the first 12 kilometres,” Clark told The Chronicle Herald newspaper. “He always goes out fast and we didn’t really know what kind of shape he was in today. When he took off, he didn’t fail. He was in shape, he was ready.”
Charlottetown’s Dave Gallant won the 20-29 age category.

McGuire captures five-mile run

McGuire captures five-mile run

NANCY MACPHEE
The Journal Pioneer

LINKLETTER — Summerside’s Connor McGuire was the first to cross the finish line in the Clark’s Toyota Five-Mile Road Race here recently.
McGuire, who’s only been running competitively for little over a year, placed 10th in last year’s race. He posted a time this year of 27:23. Mike MacKinnon of Miscouche posted the second-best time of 28:51.
“I started out pretty quick, a bit too quick I think,” said McGuire, a 17-year-old Three Oaks Senior High School senior. “When I hit the trail . . . my pace just slowed a little bit and it was definitely tough. The gravel is hard for traction.
“I hit the dirt road and picked up the pace a bit and the last two kilometers I went pretty quick.”
McGuire was somewhat disappointed with his time.
“For a 10K, this was slow, a little bit slow to my 10K pace.”
But, he added, conditions were almost perfect.
“The wind was great on the way there and on the way back but it was definitely hot,” said McGuire. “It definitely took something out of you.”
He had a healthy lead over the next runner.
“I like when someone’s ahead of me. I like to keep up with them and keep their pace,” said McGuire. “It’s definitely tough when you’re out front because you have to set your own pace pretty much.”
Rebecca Pike of Pennsylvania, a student at UPEI, was the top female runner with a time of 34:18.
It’s the fifth year for the race, organized by local runner Scott Clark.
“This is probably the best weather we’ve had for it,” Clark said of the sunny skies, warm temperatures and light wind. “Today has been the best turnout ever.”
A total of 73 runners took part in the P.E.I. Roadrunners Club points’ race.
“There were a lot of first-timers out here today as well,” said Clark. “The distance is good that they’re not too intimidated.
“It’s five miles, which is a very doable distance. I think a lot of people enjoy the course that we have. It’s very flat. It’s off the road a bit. It’s on the Confederation Trail. It’s on the Kinsmen Road, the dirt road.”
The $10 registration fee goes to the Children’s Wish Foundation.
“I guess that was always a charity that I felt compelled to raise some money for,” added Clark. “I got involved with it with the Run 4 Wishes when they started on the Island a number of years ago.
“I figured I would try and do my little part to help the best that I can and raise what we can and create awareness.”

Tour de PEI ready to take to the streets

Tour de PEI ready to take to the streets

The Journal Pioneer

The 2009 edition of Tour de PEI, presented by Scotiabank, is gearing up to be one of the best events yet.
One hundred of the World’s top female cyclists will descend on the Island June 7 to 11 for a five-day, five-stage race across some of the most scenic but challenging terrain Prince Edward Island has to offer.
Crowd favourite, Rochelle Gilmore, will be back with a new team, Belgium’s Lotto Belisol, in pursuit of the yellow jersey that has thus far eluded her at Tour de PEI. Challenging her every move will be the German National Team, South Africa’s MTN Energade, and former team, Menikini (presently Selle-Italia Ghezzi), who will be looking to sweep the podium once again.
Elite cyclists won’t be the only riders taking to the roads of Prince Edward Island during this year's Tour. The Tour de PEI Organization, in conjunction with Cycling PEI, is offering amateur athletes several opportunities to take part in the 2009 event:
Time Trial and Road Race- Kensington will come to life on Saturday, June 6, with two scheduled amateur events: an 11 KM time trial beginning at 10 a.m., and a 33.6km Road Race beginning at 1:30 p.m.
Criterium - Ride like the pros on Sunday, June 7, in this time plus one lap criterium race around Summerside that starts/finishes in the same location as the elite race! The event is scheduled to get underway at 12 p.m., just prior to Stage 1 of Tour de PEI.
Two free events are also planned for the final day of the race, Thursday, June 11, in Charlottetown. Children in grades 1 to 6 will once again have the opportunity to race on the professional criterium route at 4 p.m. in front of thousands of spectators. Pre-registration is required and forms may be picked up at the Confederation Bridge office on Queen Street until June 1. After the final awards ceremony at 7 p.m., join thousands of spectators on the steps of the Confederation Centre of the Arts to celebrate the Tour and kick start the Confederation Bridge Concert Series with P.E.I.’s own, Rawlins Cross.
