The First Call Running Club is dedicated to promoting good health through distance running. Our events are low key, designed for those who are fairly self sufficient. There are water/Gatorade stops along the way, where you can refill your bottle (no cups on the course). There is food at the start/finish area provided by the club and by potluck donation. There is no cost run. Donations are appreciated, and these keep our runs going. Donations are used to pay for event costs, ie permits, insurance, food, supplies, improvements for future races etc. Left over funds are donated to charity. We are a chartered group of the RRCA. Annual Dues (donation) of $25 is requested for club membership.

FIRST CALL SUMMER MARATHON
August 7, 2010

It was a great day for the running of the First Call Summer Marathon on Saturday, August 7, 2010. The weather was unseasonably cool and cloudy with the temperature in the high 50’s at the start. Later, light rain and a five-mile per hour wind kept the temperature to a maximum of 60 degrees.

After I arrived at the parking lot of the Bothell Landing Park, the race start/finish & refreshment area, it soon looked like a reunion of the 100 Marathon Club North America.
Henry Rueden and Jim Simpson were here from DePere, Wisconsin, and Huntington Beach, California, for a weekend double. Haulin Aspen Marathon in Bend, Oregon, was on their schedule for the next day. Cyndie Merten came from Corvallis, Oregon, for the 50 K and brought her daughter Pam Merten, 20-24, from Ashland, OR, who ran her first half marathon….in a time of 2:48. Steve Barrick, Jim Boyd, Cheri Pompeo, Jon Gissberg, Stan Nakashima, Mel Preedy and I were the “locals,”

There were eight of us who took the 6:30 a.m. start for the marathon and the 50K Ultra. The other early starters left at 7:00 a.m., and the rest of the participants for the marathon and half marathon started at the “regular” time of 8:00 a.m.

I’m still looking for a “run/walk” pattern to improve my finishing time. At the First Call Spring Marathon I tried a 50/50 ratio of a 10-minute walk followed by a 10-minute run. This lasted for a half marathon distance before I shifted to a continuous walk.

For this marathon I tried a 5-minute alternative to see if I could improve my time, but unfortunately, it didn’t work and my time was three minutes slower than it was in the last race here.

My nature observations were minimal. At about Mile 5, there were more than 100 Canada Geese on the Sammamish River, and later the rain brought out attractive Banded Land Snails.

In the 17th mile I joined Jim Simpson in walking and talking, and the time and miles passed by quickly. In the last few miles I pushed my pace and finished in 6:36:00 (15:07), 37th of 37 participants in the marathon.

It was a fun run, and I enjoyed the hot soup that race director Adrian Call provided in the finish area and the companionship of the runners. Thanks to him and his volunteers for making it happen.
