2005 Knobstone Trail Endurance Runs
SATURDAY, APRIL 9TH, 2005
http://www.in.gov/dnr/knobstone
shows a rough topo map, and includes detailed directions to the
start at Deam Lake, road crossings, and the finish at Delaney
Park. EXCELLENT (Tyvek/$4.00) TOPO & MILEAGE SHEET WILL BE
PROVIDED.
The Knobstone Trail is located near Salem, Indiana
http://2chambers.com/salem,_indiana.htm
The logistical start/finish is the very lovely Delaney Park
http://www.delaneypark.com
COURSE:
This is a point to point course northbound along the Knobstone
Trail, a singletrack trail running S->N along the Knobstone
Escarpment in middle of southern Indiana's mature mixed hardwood
State Forests. THE COURSE IS EXTREMELY RUGGED, with a total of
~19,400' of rise/fall over it's length -- the equivalent of
climbing up or down one 400' hill per mile. At the same time,
the trail is remarkably free of technical terrain for its entire
distance, running regularly up the ridge, then down through
stream-carved hollows. The trail is blazed with 6"x3" white
paint blazes (in both directions) and demarked with mileposts
for it's entire length. These mileposts correspond to the mile
marks on the KT map provided. WE TAKE THE TRAIL "AS-IS" with
imperfections in blazing, downed trees, dangerous "steps", etc.
Sunset is at ~7:12pm. Timing-wise, the wildflowers in bloom on
this run's date should provide *full* display of nature's spring
glory.
DROP BAGS:
Multiple drop bags (up to 3 for 50 milers) will be leapfrogged
to aid stations.
STARTS:
50 mile: 4:00am; Deam Lake; 14-16 hours = 6:00-8:00pm
50 km : 9:00am; New Chapel; 9-11 hours = 6:40pm
26.2 mi: 11:45am; Leota; 7-9 hours = 6:30pm
13.1 mi: 3:00pm; St.Rd. 56 3-5 hours = 6:25pm
10 km : 4:15pm; Spurgeon Hollow 2.0 hours = 6:20pm
TIMES ARE APPROXIMATE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE. Starting times
coordinated to have all distances' finishers complete at the
same time; with 50 mile runners starting first and arriving
last.
50 MILERS: Tape your name to your FLASHLIGHT so that it may be
reclaimed from the SPURGEON HOLLOW Aid Station (if needed) or
from the drop bucket Saturday evening.
SHUTTLE/SAG WAGON:
A shuttle van will leave Delaney Park at 3:00am for the 4:00am
start of the 50 mile at Deam Lake Trailhead. This vehicle will
shuttle between the aid stations and Delaney Lake lodge
throughout the day. YOU SHOULD INSURE YOUR CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT
WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO ALLOW YOU TO WAIT COMFORTABLY IF YOU ARE
INJURED.
AID STATIONS:
7 self-service aid stations, an average of 6 miles apart, will
be equipped with small amounts of duct tape, antibiotic
ointment, toilet paper, and paper/permanent marker for emergency
notes. There will be NO NSAIDS provided; BYOibuprofen.
In addition, there will be containers for water, sports drink,
and de-fizzed Mountain Dew (from LEOTA on). THERE WILL BE NO
CUPS, so you must bring your own. Food items will include a
variety of PB&J, boiled potatoes/salt, bananas, cookies, Little
Debbies, crackers/peanut butter, crackers/cheese, potato chips,
pretzels, M&Ms, Jolly Ranchers, etc.
LODGING/FINISH AREA/APRES RUN:
Friday/Saturday nites: Delaney Park (url above) offers a
cabin/lodge facility (camp mattress/bunks/showers) which faces
the main road, an open field, and 100 yards beyond it down the
hill, Delaney Lake. The finish line will be directly in front of
the facility, with a front porch and greeting area with an
extended view of the road from where it exits the woods 250
yards to the east. (In the aerial picture on the website (facing
north), the facility is to the right.) Meals will be in the
facility. BUNKS will require sleeping bags; SHOWERS, a towel,
etc.
BRIEFING/MEALS: Friday evening, Saturday evening 5pm-9pm: some
combination of Potato Soup, Pizza spaghetti, pizza, stew,
chowder, chili, etc, will be provided for survivors in the
cabin/lodge's full service kitchen. For Sunday morning, there is
a fully-briefed AYCE breakfast buffet in the Boat Loft for
~$6.95/person.

Milton man preps for 50-mile run
By James Diehl, Sussex Post
GEORGETOWN - After running several standard marathons, Milton resident Joe LoBiondo felt he needed a new challenge. He needed to kick it up a notch.
So, at an age when most people are thinking of retiring and enjoying their golden years, the soon to be 60-year-old has set his sights on something else entirely - he's training for a 50-mile "ultramarathon."
"I enjoy running very much and I'll be 60 in August so I want to see how far I can take my body," Mr. LoBiondo said. "I've been in a lot of marathons but to run an ultra you have to take it to another level. It's a whole different world."
With the help of Georgetown-area athletic trainer Roger "Doc" Hunt, Mr. LoBiondo is hoping to run the JFK 50 in November in less than 12 hours.
If successful, he would qualify for a 100-mile race sometime in the future.
"I got through the 50 miler two years ago in 12 hours and 26 minutes, but I suffered for it," Mr. LoBiondo said. "But I made it through and I knew I wanted to do it again because, if you do it and make it in the time limit, it gets into your blood.
"Now that I did it and I know what to expect, there's that challenge to hopefully do it in under 12 hours so I can at least qualify for that next step if I choose to do it."
As a warm-up for the JFK, Mr. LoBiondo will be running in the 50K (31 mile) Hat Run on March 19 in Harford County, Md.
But he won't be alone in that endeavor.
Joining him for the race at Maryland's Susquehanna State Park will be Sussex Central High School English teacher Fran Donoway and her husband, Chuck.
"In the course of training with Joe, he got us running off the road and on the trails," said Mrs. Donoway, who has run several marathons herself in the past. "He's just wonderful to run with because he's so positive.
"I'm not quite as convinced as my husband though. I'm going to reserve judgment until I see how bad this is on the body," Mrs. Donoway continued. "The course at Susquehanna is a bear. It's a very different experience from running a normal marathon on the road. I'm very worried about handling the hills."
Mr. LoBiondo said the one thing that hurt him in the past when attempting the ultramarathons was getting up and down the numerous hills on the course.
Well, there aren't any hills to speak of in Delaware, so Mr. LoBiondo turned to Mr. Hunt, an old friend who trained his son, Jon, to become a state wrestling champion for Cape Henlopen High School in the late 1980s.
"I'm here training with Doc to help me get over that hump, to strengthen my legs to handle the hills," Mr. LoBiondo said. "He helped train my son in the last 1980s to become a state champion wrestler and he taught me then that it's more than just the physical aspect. It's the mental and the emotional too."
Mr. Hunt trained Jon LoBiondo while he was in high school, helping him take home two straight state wrestling championships in 1989 and 1990. Now he's trying to help the senior LoBiondo with one of his life's goals.
"When Joe came to me and told me he was having trouble with the hills, I told him I would train him but he would have to follow everything I told him just like his son did in the '80s," Mr. Hunt said. "And he really has. He's mentally and psychically ready to go. He's in the best shape he's ever been in."
As for the younger LoBiondo, well he's just proud of his dad.
"This is something that he's been working toward since I was in high school," Jon LoBiondo said. "I'm very proud of him. I tell my wife all the time that I hope I can do what he does when I'm his age because it really is amazing."
