Fred may be gone, but his ideas live on
There
was a nice crowd in attendance to honor the legendary Fred Brown. Having organized
more than 4000 races during his lifetime, Brown, who passed away in 1992, was
the founder of the North Medford Club and founder of the Lake Winnipesaukee
Relay that is now named in his honor.
Many of the sport's amenities
enjoyed today did not exist when Fred was pioneering the sport. It was a simpler
time before the existance of GPS devices, iPods, chip timing, age group awards
and the Internet. A typical Fred Brown event would have a course that was most
likely measured with a car odometer, had few if any mile markers, a water stop
if you were lucky, race results that took hours to compile, and recycled awards
that Fred dug out of his car's trunk. It may have been a simpler time, but it
was also a good time.
The first Fred Brown race
I ran was at Shed Park in Lowell in the early seventies. It was a handicap race.
The way it worked was the slowest runner, based on previous races, left the
starting line first. Fred would then send off the other runners based on their
handicap time. For example, over a five mile course a 7-minute per mile runner
would get a 5-minute head start over a 6-minute per mile runner. Theoretically
if the race handicapper did his job well, everyone would finish at approximately
the same time. Of course it never turn out that way, but it did make the race
interesting and fun.
At the Good Times Series
we've taken Fred's handicap event and put a technological twist to it. Handicap
times were calculated using each runner's best series' time and then deducting
the best time run on the course this season. So if you're a male and your best
time was 20:00 we deducted 15:18 (best male time run this season) from your
time to calculate a handicap time of 4:42. This handicap time was then deducted
from your finishing time. The same was done for all women runners base on the
best women's time run this season. The Good Times super computers then did all
the intricate calculations to determine the results. Got it?
Benjamin Ndaya continued
his dominance by winning his sixth consecutive series' race. Framingham's Camille
Murphy won the women's division in an outstanding 19:30. This moved Camille
into the number two spot behind Kara Haas in the all-time PR rankings list.
She will be competing on the Framingham HS cross country team this fall.
In our handicap race our
top three males were Tom Springford (Dracut), Alex Macina (Nashua) and Brian
Weilbrenner (Dunstable). Our top three female handicap finishers were Maureen
Bouzan (Lowell), Elizabeth Hauck (Framingham) and Diana Collins (Tyngsboro).
Our top three women did not receive their awards due to a senior moment by the
race director, we'll make sure this is fixed next week.
Speaking of next week, we
will be having our Classic T-Shirt 5K. So dig into your closet and dust of that
favorite t-shirt and show it to the world. We'll have special awards for oldest
shirt, most unusual shirt, shirt from a race the furthest away and a few other
categories. We'll also have standard age division awards and our weekly raffle.
And, as always, "We can't promise you will run a fast time, but we do
guarantee you will have a Good Time!"
