A year later Kim Merritt ran the Sawdust City 6 Miler in 36:04. Merritt, who ran for the University of Wisconsin, was the women’s winner of the 1976 Boston Marathon. As for the Sawdust City race, it should be mentioned at this time that the race was once two races: a men’s race and a women’s race. I don’t know the exact year that it was merged into one, but I would guess that it was in the late 1970s. The purpose of the dual race was to enable the women to develop their running skills in a minimally threatening environment. Whatever the reason, success of women’s racing occurred quickly.

July/august 2010 Page 9 One of the things that I’ve always liked about the Indianhead Track Club is its tortoise and hare logo. Not only do I like the design, but I like the way it exemplifies two of the things that I enjoy about running. There’s the hare side of me that enjoys the challenge of competition and pushing myself to run as fast as I can. There’s also the tortoise side of me that enjoys so many of the more laid-back aspects of running. During the week, my early-morning run is a time to enjoy some of the simple pleasures such as fresh air and quiet; a beautiful sunrise; and the sights and sounds of nature such as the owl I’d often hear hooting when I ran past the wooded park along Sherman Creek this past winter. The tortoise side of me also enjoys how my daily run provides me with a quiet time to clear my head, say my prayers, and collect my thoughts. And how my Saturday morning group run from Owen Park provides me with a time to share some laughs and swap some running tips and stories with old and new friends. So I guess it’s the tortoise side of me that especially enjoyed some recent turtle sightings in Carson Park. The first encounter came on a beautiful sunny day last fall. My friend Carol talked me into trying kayaking for the first time, and we set out from Braun’s Bay on my maiden voyage. I’ve run through and around Carson Park thousands of times, but this was the first time Wade’s Wit By Wade Zwiener Runs bring ITC logo to life that I’d seen it from the waters of Half Moon Lake. It was a new perspective that really made me appreciate the beauty of the park’s tall pine trees and steep, rocky shorelines. One of the highlights of my inaugural kayak outing on Half Moon was looking through binoculars at a turtle sunning itself on a log. It was the sight of total enjoyment and relaxation. My most recent encounter with a “turtle” in Carson Park came during our Saturday morning group run a few weeks ago. The dozen or so of us who’d started together had split up into smaller groups based on pace, and I happened to be running at the time with Mike Olson, Mike Revello, Dave Carothers and Randy Aumann. Just as we were coming down the hill on the exercise trail near the Dairy Queen, we spotted a big, green critter sitting in the narrow patch of grass between the trail and the road. It was a giant snapping turtle. We all stopped to check it out, and Mike—being the outdoorsy guy that he is—decided to give us a little demonstration on why they’re called snappers. He found a branch in the woods along the trail and waved it in front of the turtle’s nose. The turtle didn’t like this one bit. It snapped at the stick like a cobra. After seeing that eye-opening display, I wouldn’t recommend getting your fingers anywhere near a snapping turtle’s head. Which made it all the more impressive what Mike did next. Deciding that being next to a fairly busy road wasn’t such a safe place for the See ‘Wit’ on page 10.
