President's Message

 

By Melanie Cotterell

 

Family Trees

 

My dad is an enthusiastic genealogist. He is constantly adding people to our family tree through on-line research and genealogy books about the Pennsylvania area. If you are from Pennsylvania, then there is a good chance that you are already in my personal family tree.

 

But, even if you are not in my genetic family tree, I think of you as part of my Santa Clarita Runner family tree. The Santa Clarita community is the trunk and the branches are the different running groups in the valley. Each of these branches sprout twigs that are mini families. Some of our twigs are the Hamsters, the Rodents, the Tuesday morning Central Park Runners, the Misfits, Saturday Morning girl power and many other groups. Then there are the leaves on the tree representing the individual runners in our community. Our common DNA is our passion for running.

 

Some of the other branches on the running tree include the youth running programs such as Warriors and Storm then there are the High School Cross Country teams and Track and Field Teams. There are also groups like SOAR, Runner’s Lane and Valencia Trail Runners. In addition, there are many other runners in the community that don’t belong to a running club but are dedicated runners just the same.

 

Although we may have some grievances with some members of our running family, just like within your own family, it is my wish that we unite in a common goal. The goal is convincing the city of Santa Clarita that there are runners all over this valley that would appreciate having a track to practice on that is open to the public and available to reserve for events just like the fields at Central Park. There are many groups vying for the same track locations within the city and it is becoming much more difficult to secure them due to other sports and scheduling conflicts. Having one more track in the valley may not alleviate all the problems but it certainly won’t hurt the situation. Let’s put aside our differences and gather together all the branches, twigs and leaves and work on a plan together in such a way that it will be hard for the city to ignore us. Please send me an email at president@scrunners.org if you would like to be part of this effort.

·         Scrambler Spotlight! Meet Hiranjan Rodrigo

by Mary Petersen

You probably know Gayoshi Rodrigo. You may have seen her fly by you at Tuesday night track. She’s the one who captured all the swag at the banquet with her highest point total. But you may not know her husband, Hiranjan, a new member of the Santa Clarita Runners Club. He has been running for just six months yet has already completed a half marathon.

 

Hiranjan never ran in high school but he played field hockey and competed in hurdle events with his high school team. He did well and attributes his success to a great coach who helped him train and master the style of jumping.  Once he started college, however, he no longer had time for sports as academics and business occupied most of his time.

 

Hiranjan is the youngest of seven children and the only boy. (He has six older sisters!) He and Gayoshi were born and raised in Sri Lanka. Twenty years ago they made their way to the United States when Gayoshi received a scholarship to pursue a Master’s Degree at UCLA. This was a momentous decision to make. Hiranjan had started his own advertising company and had 30 employees. It was a painful task to tell them that the business was closing and he was moving. But with gratitude in his heart, he generously gave the staff all of his business equipment although this meant facing a financial loss.

 

It was a sacrifice to leave everything including friends and family and launch into a new life. But the couple felt that the move would offer a better life for the family, especially since Sri Lanka was in the midst of a civil war. The U.S. would provide a safer environment with more opportunities for their son Davi and daughter Davina. (They would be blessed with one more daughter, Dhanya, born in the U.S.) Once here, Hiranjan started a photography business and a company teaching coding to elementary children. They set down roots in Santa Clarita and made new friends.

 

The motivation for Hiranjan to start running came from his younger daughter, Dhanya. She ran cross country in high school and was extremely disciplined in running. She talked to her dad about her workouts and wanted him to start running. Although Hiranjan says he was not a runner, he wanted to share this experience with his daughter. So he started slowly. He began walking with his older daughter, Davina. He hiked a lot. Eventually, he adopted the strategy to run a minute and walk a minute. Then he ran two minutes and walked a minute. Finally he built up his stamina to run 30 minutes without stopping. 

 

In June of 2019 Hiranjan joined Santa Clarita Runners, and the following month on his birthday he completed the Portland 5K in 28.10. Very impressive for a non-runner! But his determination did not stop there. By November he had completed his first half marathon, the Ventura Half. It was quite a challenge, and he would like to give Paola special thanks for staying with him on the run and giving him the encouragement to finish it. Hiranjan says he’s glad he joined the run club. It motivates him to run more miles, and he likes running with a group instead of alone. His favorite workout is track where he sees the most progress. Running with the club has helped him run faster and for longer distances.

 

Hiranjan’s running goal is to complete one marathon in his lifetime. He says he has talked to people, and they tell him he won’t stop with one, so he’ll see. He would also like to “redeem” himself and run another half marathon with a better time. What has put a damper on his training is his diagnosis of planter fasciitis. This is discouraging because he knows he must rest the injury yet he hates to miss out on the Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday club runs. For months he’s had to be patient. He’s currently finishing physical therapy and exercising at home. The good news is his pain level has decreased, so he hopes to be running soon.  He is registered to run the Nashville 15K on February 15, and he doesn’t want to miss that.

 

Hiranjan says he enjoys being a member of the club and meeting new friends. Since his favorite restaurant is any place that serves beer, he fits right in with the group. With his wacky sense of humor, he has become an official member of the Roadents.  We look forward to many more runs, many more beers, and many more years with Hiranjan.

Women Run L.A. 5K Feb 23, 2020

 

By Betsy Swallow

 

One of my New Year’s resolutions was to participate in one race per month. In January, I did the Masters 5K, so one down. In February, I dilly-dallied around, and by the time I decided to sign up for SOAR’s Mardi Gras Madness, it was already full. What to do??

 

Browsing online, I ran across Women Run L A, which had a Half, 10K, and 5K, conveniently held at Hansen Dam Recreation Area, on Feb 23, proceeds to aid underserved women and children.  Those of you who are tenured Club members (better than saying “old”) might recall that the Club used to put on our very own Women’s 5K, held in various locations, even Pico Canyon! The last one I can confirm, since I have the T-shirt, was the 25th Anniversary Run, held March 24, 2007. So a proud tradition came to a close. But I digress.

 

I arrived at Hansen Dam in plenty of time, got a great parking spot, signed in, and watched the Half-marathoners take off at 8:30, and the 10K runners at 9:00. Around the little lake they went, and out of sight! Mostly women, but a few runners of the male variety. Several of pace groups for the Half had a male leader. The 2:15 pace group leader was clad only in a Speedo and his sneakers. I hope he had plenty of sunscreen on.

 

My race started at 9:30, and off we went, around the lake, across the park, and up onto to the dam. Our turn-around was about one-third of the way across, then back the way we came.  The 10K run went all the way across the dam, and the half did two loops, coming back through the Start/Finish area to go again. (I always hated races like that, myself.) It was an enjoyable course, easy to follow, and sunny but not hot.

 

Along with the usual finish-line snacks, we were also served Krispy Kreme donuts. All the usual amenities, such as music, a massage table, various vendors, and a food truck made a festive finish area. The awards were for the top three runners in each race, no age group awards, so they didn’t take long.  Another Women Run L.A. Race will be held in Oxnard, in May. I’d consider doing that one, too!

Mt. Hollywood Sign Trail Race12K/8K Feb 9th, 2020

 

By Elizabeth Conzevoy

 

With rain in the forecast again. . . my last three races I had the same forecast, my fellow trail running friend, Kara Duenas, picked me up at at 6 a.m. and we were on our way to the Merry Go Round Parking lot at Griffith Park.  We made sure we had exact directions this time, as we had driven around in circles trying to find the preview run (ask Jen Todd!).  We parked and walked up the short trail to the start of the race at the Old Zoo.  For those of you SCR history buffs out there, the zoo you go to now is actually “New zoo.” The Old Zoo opened in 1912 and then closed in 1966, you can check out pictures here of the old cages still there as well as picnic tables: https://californiathroughmylens.com/old-la-zoo-griffith-park! Anyways, back to the race. . .

 

We started a little late, but the rain had held off and the sun was coming out!  It was an out and back and the out was basically all uphill.  The trail was mainly fire road, just a few narrow parts which made it easy to keep an even pace as we all trekked up the mountain.  I did slow down (even slower than I was already going) a few times to take in the amazing views of the mountain and valley below!  The hills were green, and the sun was out but the hill was loooong.  A couple of minutes from the turnaround I saw Mike Cassidy, my fellow SCR running back from it.  I cheered him on and continued up to the turnaround where I stopped and snapped a few pictures with the Mt. Hollywood sign directly behind me. 

 

Turning around, I started the much more enjoyable run back down the hill where I could make up some time going from 15-18 minutes up to about 8-9-minute miles down! Across the finish line at 1:22:30, I accepted my Mt. Hollywood Sign finish medal and snapped a quick picture with my fellow SCR.  Kara wasn’t too far behind me, crossing at 1:31:22, finishing her longest race to date.  

 

We sampled some great nitro coffee, grabbed our snacks, and posed for a quick picture at the finish line.  It started to get cold and we realized the rain was finally coming.  So, we headed out driving back to Santa Clarita feeling a great sense of accomplishment.  About halfway back, the sky opened up but we were warm and dry inside. 

A great trail race with amazing views!  I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to try a local trail race.  Don’t bother with the 8K, just do the 12K with the view! The price was right, and the trail was well marked and easy to follow.  Just make sure you print out the directions to the parking lot!

Race Series 2020

The SCR Race Series is a way to win prizes, awards, gear, etc. just for doing what we all like to do (run races, volunteer and participate in club events!). That’s why we all joined Santa Clarita Runners, right!?!

 

You’ll find all the info on our website: http://www.scrunners.org/. Choose “Our Events” and “Our Race Series” to see the rules.  Scroll to the bottom of the rules to find the link to then enter your Race Series Points.

 

There are a couple of different ways to earn prizes, etc. from previous years so give the rules a quick look over, as well as an updated list of events (see below).

 

As your 2020 Race Series Director, if I can answer any questions, please feel free to reach out! See you on the road or the water stop!
