Tussey Teaser #3 - 3rd Annual Beidleheimer Sidewinder
10K
May 7, 2006 - Whipple Dam
State Park and Rothrock State Forest
A
dry, mild day greeted the runners lining up in Rothrock State Forest
for the 3rd annual Beidleheimer Sidewinder 10K. This race is designed
to level the playing field by age and gender scoring. All women runners
get a 6 minute credit. All runners over 39 get 20 seconds off their
actual time for each year over 39, and runners over 49 get an
additional 40 seconds off for each year over 49.
Some results are remarkable enough that the scoring formula doesn't
change the results, and so it was for the first two finishers. Nathan
Harkins, 27, of Pine Grove Mills, shook the dust from his mocs in
record time, flying through the course in 32:05 and shearing nearly 4
minutes from the course record. Tom Cali, 51, of State College,
took second in 37:31, missing his 2005 second place time by 12 seconds
but well ahead of third place.
"Nate took off with Tim Spigelmyer trying to chase him and me hot on
Tim's heels," recalls Cali. "I don't remember if the group of young
guys (Shawn Henderson et al.) were in front of me or behind me at this
point. I finally passed Tim, and at some point was in second
place, but I could still see Nate. Shawn passed me going up a
hill, but I passed him going down the next one. I lost sight of
Nate sometime before that, and held on for second the rest of the way."
Brought to third place by both age and gender adjustments, Monika
Modest, 50, of Boalsburg pressed the pace well, touring the hilly
course in under 44 minutes, which translated to an adjusted time of
under 34 minutes. Paula Jech, 62, of State College, came in fourth, her
52-minute effort putting her just 31 seconds behind Modest. Rounding
out the top 5 was Meira Minard, 32, of State College, whose 41:12
converted to 35:12, just a minute behind Jech.
The presence of participants as young as 12 years of age prompted race
organizers to consider adding a time adjustment for youth runners to
the scoring formula next year.
Teams of five also competed using actual times. First place went to The
Geezelles, comprised of "geezers" Cali, Jech and Modest and "gazelles"
Martha Nelson, 25, and Ruscena Wiederholt, 26, both of State College,
in 3:04:18. Second place went to All For One, comprised of Mark Fedkin,
36, Nikita Fedkin, 12, Rusko Ruskov, 43, Vladimir Khristov, 15, and
Katya Bazilevskaya, 35, all of State College, in 4:31:04.
Many thanks to the Sidewinder's key sponsors, Tom Cali, RE/MAX Centre
Realty, and B&E Cycles/The Bicycle Shop, in State College.
