They can compete in- dividually, as a three-member corpotate team or as a mixed two-member relay team. The course starts and finishes at the parking lot of the demonstra- tion forest. Racers run the first 5- km down the gravel road toward Lillooet Road and back to the start before hopping on their bikes for the two-loop circuit to the Seymour Dam. From there they run the same 5-km route to the finish line. Kamenka_ expects the first athlete to cross over the finish line in an hour and 20 minutes. Runners to watch are Kendall Morrison, ranked ninth in the world, Carol Marlowe, the overall winner of the 1!989 Kokanee Prestige Series, and Donna Lan- dreville, an American who placed 10th in the 1989 Hawaii lronman Triathlon.

Learn to run in the pool INJURED ATHLETES who want to stay in shape might want to try a dose of running in the pool. The Running in the Poo! workshop at West Vancouver Aquatic Centre teaches athletes how to run in the water in order to get the maximum cardio vascular benefit. Marian Easton, acting head instructor, said she first got the idea when she saw athletes in the pool who were running incorrectly. “Injured athletes have been in the pool running. What we'd like to do is to teach them to do it properly,” Easton says. Held at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, March 28, the first hour of the workshop includes a lecture, video and demonstration by Janka Samuels Corwen, a Vancouver Aquatic Centre instrucior. In the second hour, the participants move into the pool to try the technique. There they will be videotaped above the water and with an underwater camera, enabling the participants to see themselves on the monitor. Easton says the workshop is ideal for anyone who must take a break from on-land training. Runners will find it especially beneficial. “If that is your sport and you're competing and you want to keep it up, you have to run in the water rather than swim.” Pre-registration is necessary and can be done by calling the aquatic centre at 926-8585.
