Trial by Trail
Hiking 30 miles across the White Mountains in one day is a test of endurance—and sanity
When I was 23 years old, I hiked 50 miles in one day. I carried water, granola bars, a camera, a headlamp and a tube of body lube. I wore a big gold World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion belt from Wal-Mart.
The hike began at midnight and ended after 9 p.m. Along the way, as I accumulated some 16,000 feet of elevation, I
marveled at the dual wonders of nature and myself. I nearly face-planted into a rock around mile 48.
When it was over, I didn't move for a day and a half.
The setting was New Hampshire's White Mountain National Forest, a nearly 800,000-acre wilderness that boasts the largest alpine area east of the Rockies and south of Quebec. A freshly minted poetry graduate, I was working as a porter-cum-cook on a crew at one of the Appalachian Mountain Club's huts, eight lodges reachable only by foot. I thought of myself as a professional mountain man.
The AMC huts, which date back to 1888, are the oldest of their kind in the country. Appearing amidst hulking walls of rock and frigid alpine lakes, the wooden bunkhouses—with big kitchens and communal dining areas attached—provide rustic refuge to hikers. Their cheerful crews cook multi-course meals from ingredients hiked in on their backs, sometimes 100 pounds at a time. There are games, books and green technologies for guests to enjoy with WYHI (Wine You Hiked In).
I capped off my summer with the Traverse, a rite of passage that involves hiking to all of the AMC's huts in one day, from the northernmost, quiet Carter Notch, to the southernmost, family-friendly Lonesome Lake.
Seven years later, I wondered if I could still manage that epic slog. From my desk in Atlanta, a 50-miler seemed doable. I'd summon my former self, the one who had time for poetry and long walks. My younger brother, Rob—who charges up mountains in minimalist swimwear—would join me.
We had to compromise on the 50-mile plan. The AMC advised us not to hike more than 30 miles, given the scant protection we'd find above the treeline if winter weather struck; the two highest of the huts—Lakes of the Clouds and Madison Spring—were closed for the season. So we settled on a mini-traverse, starting just past picturesque Lakes of the Clouds and hiking between the five southernmost huts, a distance of nearly 30 miles that would take a normal person four days.
"Good thing we aren't normal," said Rob.
We began in mid-October at Mizpah Spring, a two-story hut with a little library and 60 wooden bunks, located just below treeline at the base of the Presidential Range. The night before the traverse, after a dozen-mile warm-up hike, we carbo-loaded on spinach-and-ricotta-stuffed shells, fresh bread and pound cake. We sat between Massachusetts cops and software engineers from Denmark. "You have to maintain three miles an hour for 10 hours," one Dane calculated. "Does your mother know about this?" asked a cop. She knew enough. We retired to the thin mattresses in our bunkroom as the other guests pulled out playing cards and flasks.
Getting dressed before dawn, I found a note from George Heinrichs, Mizpah's hutmaster, who has traversed four times: "Good luck and remember: hike fast, look good." Two packages of Gu sat beside it.
"I'm not eating that stuff," Rob said. He was into his second cup of coffee and third sticky bun. We set off, Rob wearing a floral hiker Speedo. ("It prevents chafing, bro!") In the cool air, we strode downhill to the base of Mt. Tom, our trekking poles clicking time on wet rocks. "We'll be done by 7 p.m.," said Rob, who spent two formative summers in Yosemite. "Eastern trails are easy."
Then he tripped on an eastern rock. For a few minutes he limped quietly. But we trod on through boggy deciduous forest, topping Mt. Tom by 8:30. Rob looked fresh; I'd sweated through my shirt.
By the time we reached Zealand Falls Hut, perched near waterfalls, the sun was up. We ate more sticky buns—the huts are lousy with them—and talked to the hirsute hutmaster, who was making what appeared to be a bisque. He radioed Galehead to say we'd be there in three hours. We eyed the foreboding Pemigewasset Wilderness Area and talked to a guy hiking to Georgia. He said we were crazy.
Four hours later, having climbed onto a pleasant ridge that deposited us at South Twin summit and one of the most expansive forest views in New England, we arrived at the remotest hut. Galehead sits in the middle of the Pemigewasset. We refueled on vegetable soup and bread. The weather was pure Indian summer: blue sky and temperatures in the high 60s. We lingered. The hutmaster bade us farewell, finally: "The trail gets a bit tricky ahead."
Actually, the trail turns laughably rocky. Rob rounded a corner: "You've got to be kidding!" The next quarter mile would require climbing. I lifted my legs slowly, like mountaineers do where oxygen is thin. Another wall. To keep our morale up, we tried word games; we tried silence; we tried not trying. We walked, dazed, through a land fit for Hobbits and elves. One escarpment after another appeared. I fell into a puddle; Rob, who by then was nursing several blisters, laughed maniacally.
Around mile 22—or maybe 25—I snapped. What were we doing? Hadn't I learned this masochistic lesson years ago? Then I saw Mt. Lafayette towering ahead. It was our final big climb before the knee-wrenching descent to Greenleaf Hut, and food, and then the five miles mostly down to Lonesome Lake Hut. We took sunset photos in strong winds—Rob in jaunty silhouette, Robert Frost's Franconia home somewhere down by the highway. We had taken the trail less traveled.
The crew at Lonesome was waiting up for us, clapping when we arrived at 9:30 p.m. Roast chicken steamed on the table. We ate using as few muscles as possible. I did a mental tally of our day: eight quarts of water, a dozen pastries, uncountable obscenities, more sounds of awe. No face plants.
The next morning, after fresh doughnuts and frittatas, we gingerly hiked out. A half hour later, we were back on the interstate doing 70. Rob and I had reservations at the Vanderbilt Grace Hotel in Newport, R.I. There were dry-cleaned clothes in the back seat. "When I was old enough to know better," I wrote in my notebook, "I hiked 30 miles in one day. "
The Lowdown: White Mountains Traverse
Getting There: From Boston, drive three hours north to Highland Center Lodge at Crawford Notch in New Hampshire, where you can park your car. Mizpah Hut is a 2.9-mile hike away.
Staying There: The Appalachian Mountain Club runs eight huts in the White Mountains, which offer beds and meals from June into the fall. They are self-serve through the winter, with a caretaker on hand to stoke a fire. (from $35 per night, outdoors.org). Highland Center has cushier accommodations year-round (from $74 per night). For luxury, book the Omni Mount Washington Resort in Bretton Woods, N.H. (from $179 per night, omnimountwashington.com).
Weather: In fall, be prepared for winter conditions at higher elevations, though you could experience 60-degree days in the valley.
Corrections & Amplifications
The Omni Mount Washington Resort is in Bretton Woods, N.H. An earlier version of this article incorrectly gave the hotel's former name, the Mt. Washington Hotel.

Greg Luczak: Re-Thinking Real Estate, One Home at a Time
When I started my post-education career I worked in marketing and graphic design. I have worked with several companies and have marketed several different products. I found my way in Real Estate working as the Marketing Director for a real estate company and went into the position with a singular mindset: "Just because it's the way everyone does it, doesn't mean it's the right way". I have been accused of thinking outside of the box, but because I never worked in real estate previously, I contend that I never had a box. This thought process has taken me from that position to starting my own business, and my mindset has not changed.

The Browns continued their tour of working out quarterback prospects for the upcoming NFL Draft on May 8 by working out University of Central Florida quarterback Blake Bortles.
According to Paul Tenorio of the Orlando Sentinel several members of the Browns' organization were seen exiting the University of Central Florida's indoor practice facility Wednesday morning after working out Bortles, who left the facility shortly thereafter.
GM Ray Farmer, coach Mike Pettine, offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan and quarterbacks coach Dowell Loggains were in attendance according to Cleveland.com.
Pettine spoke highly of Bortles at the NFL owner's meetings last week in Florida.
"He has all the measurables," Pettine said. "If you look at him, if you said draw me an NFL quarterback, that's probably who you'd draw.
"I think the thing that's impressive about him is his ability in crunch time in a lot of tight games, a lot of come-from-behind wins, you can see he's confident, can make all the throws, I think he's a better athlete than some people give him credit for."
The Browns privately worked out Fresno State's Derek Carr on Monday and are expected to also work out Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater and Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel, among others in the next month.
Working out Bortles would explain why the Browns were reportedly not at the Pro Day of South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, who had his workout also on Wednesday.

Re: Strange search behavior at BN.com5ivedom Dec 14, 2012 10:46 PM (in response to Tucson4900)
Firstly, it's a language thing.
B&N probably thinks of it as 'audiobooks' or audioCDs'.
So if you search for something that is different from the language they use, it won't show up.
B&N doesn't have an 'intelligent' association that says - if user searches for downloadable books or downloadable mp3s, it probably means audiobooks.
Secondly, I've found that the search is very erratic. Best bet is to go to the specific section i.e. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/s?SRT=SA&FMT=A1&store=BOOK&aref=1518
And then use the categories on the left and the sorting criteria to look for books.
Thirdly, try book name + audiobook OR author name + audiobook. That should work.
Re: Strange search behavior at BN.comsailspirit Dec 16, 2012 10:58 AM (in response to Tucson4900)
Strange behavior overall! I tried to purchase an e-book via B&N, that clearly stated it was compatible in Nook Tablet format. The book arrived on my NT, and it states not compatible with this device. Huh? I emailed B&N customer service, first got the auto-reply, then got a reply stating they are too busy to respond. Huh? (I disputed the charge via my credit card, as I am not paying for what I did not receive.) This puts B&N either very busy (good) for the holiday shoppers, or in the same poor customer service category as the cable, phone, Microsoft, HP, tech companies that clearly do not want to offer human or rapid e-customer service. I love my NT, yet will probably not buy another. After one year, the wifi signal is slow and I have trouble connecting at both public wifi and via password wifi (I've posted about this before, outgoing servers are not playing nicely, esp. TWC roadrunner & legacy bell south. I went to B&N customer service store, before my NT was just one year old, and they offered to replace it with a refurbirshed, pre-owned NT (take on someone else's problems?). I like B&N and very much want them to survive, yet do they care about their customers? I think they should sell off the NOOK e-reader and mini-tablet to those who know how to do it and then we can all buy something else next time. I had great hopes. Thank you for e-listening!

'Glee's' Sue Sylvester moves to the music in 'Vogue'
In advance of next week's all-Madonna themed episode of "Glee," Fox Broadcasting released a remarkable shot for shot remake of the Material Girl's classic music video to her No. 1 dance track "Vogue."
Starring the one and only Sue Sylvester (aka Jane Lynch) and Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Mercedes (Amber Riley), the "Glee" video is pretty remarkable work all around. Now, whether the video's original director, none other than David "Fight Club" Fincher thinks it's cool is another matter entirely. As for Madonna, we're 99% sure she gave her blessing.
Even if you aren't a fan of the show, you should really check it out. And who knew Lynch could sing and dance? Can you say Emmy nomination? I think you can.
Twenty years later, you can still move to the music people. Watch it below.
For more on "Glee" check out HitFix's recap on the show's return from hiatus here.

[TENNESSEE-SOUTH CAROLINA]South Carolina senior Kortney Rhoadeshad the first career multi-goal game of her career to lead the Gamecocks to a 2-1 overtime victory No. 17 Tennessee in front of 2,846 fans, the second-largest crowd in Regal Stadium history.
Rhoades scored the game-winning goal in the 106th minute for the Gamecocks' third overtime win in three games. Kayla Grimsley's assist made her the South Carolina career leader with 25 assists.
Rhoades' first goal on a volley in the 16th minute ended Julie Eckel's school record shutout streak at 471 minutes.
Sophomore Caroline Brown equalized in the 54th minute with her eighth goal for Tennessee.
Both teams had their chances in a game that produced 39 shots.
South Carolina freshman Sabrina D'Angelo made four point-blank saves in the second half. Danielle Au had the best look of the half for the Gamecocks with a strike from 25 yards out that struck the crossbar in the 70th minute.
"Tonight was a good test for this team," South Carolina coach Shelley Smithsaid. "They've learned from the non-conference season and have been prepared to battle on the road. To find a way to win against a very good Tennessee team is a great step for us."

LATEST PLAYER ALARMS View All
Danny Valencia was scratched from Friday's lineup
Valencia is dealing with a neck issue, so he will take a seat Friday night. Matt Olson has replaced him in the Athletics' lineup and will bat ninth against Mariners' righty Taijuan Walker.
Tevin Coleman (ankle) was upgraded to full at practice on Friday.
Coleman's status never seem to seriously be in question, but this is obviously a nice update to the situation. Coleman is coming off of a three-touchdown performance against New Orleans this past Monday, but the Falcons will face a much tougher Carolina defense Sunday.
Saints have ruled out Josh Hill for Week 4.
Hill was originally expected to be out two or three weeks after suffering an ankle injury in Week 1. He is a backup to starting tight end Coby Fleener.
Giants will workout Dante Whitner this weekend.
The Giants are suddenly very thin at safety after Nat Berhe ended up in the concussion protocol this week. The team has been working out some of their receivers at the position during practice, but that is obviously not ideal. Whitner has 10 years of NFL experience and was selected to three straight Pro Bowls from 2012-'14.
Alex Bregman is out of the Astros lineup on Friday.
Bregman got back in the Astros' starting lineup Wednesday following a couple weeks off due to injury. However, he will take a seat on Friday night.
Evan Gattis is out of the Astros lineup on Friday.
Gattis will take a seat Friday night as George Springer slides into the DH spot and Teoscar Hernandez takes over in right field. Springer will remain in his typical leadoff spot while Hernandez lines up seventh opposite Angels' righty Daniel Wright.
Yasmany Tomas was scratched on Friday.
Tomas has been dealing with some neck and back issues for a while now. The Diamondbacks will go with Brandon Drury and Socrates Brito in the corner-outfield spots on Friday night.
Yasmani Grandal is out of the Dodgers lineup on Friday.
Same as Gonzalez, the Dodgers have the opportunity to rest some starters vs Bumgarner. Grandal was 1-12 with 6 K's lifetime off of him.

Contradict-a-palooza: 'Not My Boss's Business' goal to make it every boss's business
**Written by Doug Powers
The Supreme Court is hearing the Hobby Lobby case today:
The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Tuesday in two related cases challenging the Department of Health and Human Services' directive ordering employers to offer health insurance policies that include certain contraceptives.
The case is unlikely to take a wrecking ball to the 2010 Affordable Care Act, whose individual health insurance mandate was upheld as constitutional by the court in June 2012. But it may have broad non-health ramifications.
At hand are the constitutional rights of corporations and the right of religious businessowners to exempt their companies from federal regulations.
In Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. – the better-known case – the Southern Baptist owners of a 602-store arts and crafts chain say certain emergency contraceptives and intrauterine devices run afoul of their religious beliefs because they may result in the destruction of human embryos.
Those protesting Hobby Lobby are using the most contradictory slogan possible: "Not My Boss's Business," all while demanding that paying for birth control (abortifacient drugs to be more specific) be nothing short of the boss's business. Sandra Fluke agrees.
A more accurate slogan would be "Just shut up and pay for it."

Try demanding that any of the above people pay for something you want and see if they'd agree it was none of their business. Only in the abstract realm of liberal logic is something none of the concern of the people being forced to pay for it.
Does Obamacare require your boss to supply Dramamine? Because the contradiction is dizzying.
In closing, no more calls please, because we have our "entrepreneurship advice of the year" winner:
Don't want to pay for birth control? Don't start a business. #NotMyBossBusiness

Best Uses
I used this product to decorate 2 wall for graduation party. We then taped pictures up on it.
We had so many compliments. There were 5 other people who used the hall that we decorated and they all wanted it left up for their graduation parties. I will be ordering more for my next graduation party and I am recommending it for prom next year.
This paper is beautiful! Very nice, even color. Be prepared, though. It is very heavy and requires a LOT of attachment. Unfortunately, I needed to hang it from the ceiling. I put duct tape along the top (on both sides) and then punched holes (hooks went through the holes). While we were putting it up (three-person job), the holes ripped through (even with the duct tape). So I put double-duct tape where holes would go. It stayed up for the rest of the day. The next day, when we arrived for the event, the entire length was on the floor. We raced around putting more tape and managed to get it hanging again 15 minutes before the first person arrived. I held my breath for the entire event....it stayed up. Next time, if I decide to use the flat paper, I will contact the seller about how to properly hang it from the ceiling....truth be told, I will probably never use flat paper again. My advice to you is: Use this product ONLY if you can use very sticky adhesives on your wall AND you can attach it at many points along the way.

It is debatable but out of that renaissance the greatest of the group of women was probably Leann Warren from Crescent Valley High School in Corvallis.
Leann grew up to be a passionate basketball player. As a freshman she knew that the basketball coach, Lyle Fagnan, wanted everyone to play a fall sport. Her basketball coach was the cross country coach and so she joined the team. It became clear that she would have three sports, cross country, basketball, and track and field.
In her junior year of 1978 the starting point guard helped her team win the state title over Hillsboro, 54-51, but lost in the semifinals the next year in the re-match against Hillsboro, 48-44, and finished third by beating Marshall 49-45 (sophomore year they lost in the third place game to Centennial, 46-45). All the way through her junior year of her high school career she talked to college coaches about playing basketball and she could go all day, "I could play great defense but I couldn't shoot." Not being able to shoot ended her chances at a college career because even a 5-5 point guard then was too small.
Hayward Field hooked her during her junior year, "It was pretty easy. Once I went to a track meet there I fell in love with it. My junior year I saw a dual meet and I just fell in love with Hayward Field. I visited a couple of others but it was Oregon hands down."
At the state meet in 1978 she won the 400 meters (55.99) and was third in the 800 meters at 2:12.9. She had fallen in love with the sport, "The thing with running that I really like is that it was so honest. It is the best person that day that determines the winner."
After the basketball team finished third her senior year former Ducks head coach Tom Heinonen remembers bringing his Duck team to the Portland Indoor that used to be held at Memorial Coliseum in February. He knew Warren would have a good season after he saw he run there, "she ran the Portland Indoor, with no training, and ran 2:14 over 880 yards going away."
At the state meet in 1979 she won the 400 (55.66) and 800 meters (2:10.18). She anchored her team's mile relay with a 55 second final leg that put her team into second. As Duck coach Tom Heinonen remembers her, "The picture at the finish has her hands over her head because she was thinking the team won the team title. Her coach had mistakenly advised her that the team would win if they finished second." At the same time, Springfield finished fourth in the relay and won the team title with 39 points to the 38 of Crescent Valley and Crater.
OSAA divided the schools into three classifications back then. Although this was over 30 years ago and with fewer participants the current 6A format only had superior marks to the old AAA in half the running events, the 100 meters (12.06 to 12.21), the 3,000 meters (9:57.97 to 9:58.39), the 300 hurdles (43.58) was intrinsically superior to the time of for the 200 hurdles (28.34) and both relays (48.32 to 48.68 and 3:55.71 to 3:58.59 for the mile relay). The field events were competitive and the long jump was superior 30 years ago (18-7 ½ to 17-10 ½).
Out of that great state meet the Ducks were blessed with incoming freshman and future Ducks including two-time Olympian Linda Hughes (javelin, also NCAA runner-up), collegiate champions Sally Harmon (javelin), Claudette Groenendaal (800 and 1500), and Warren (800 and 1500). There were also all-Americans from Class AAA Eryn Forbes (5,000 and 10,000) and Kim Roth (1,500 meters) and Class A competitors included Shari Collins (high jump), and Rosa Gutierrez (3,000 and 10,000).
She was impressive enough that senior year for Prefontaine meet director Tom Jordan to put her in the 800 meters when another athlete dropped out. In that race was Mary Decker who at one point in her career held every American record from 800 meters to 10,000 meters, future Olympian Ruth Wysocki, 1976 Olympic 800-meter runner Kathy, and high school phenom Deanna Coleman (2:04 pr coached by Ken Foreman of Falcon TC).
Heinonen remembers it well and describes how Leann looked, "Wearing a navy blue tank top and candy cane shorts. Leann could always accelerate like you couldn't believe. With 250 meters to go she took off like a rocket. She got so far ahead and no one could catch her although they came back. She ran 2:04 something."
Leann recollects, "I was in there to fill in a field. I was in a naive space. I just slipped by on the inside and ran like a scared rabbit. If the race had been three meters longer Slaney would have caught me." This fed her attitude and although she was 5-5 and not that short for a runner she had been short as a basketball player, "I was a feisty kid that liked to win. I thought that people underestimated me because I was little. I like to prove that little ones could do it too."
Back when AIAW recruiting rules favored the athletes Head coach and distance coach Tom Heinonen and sprint and jump coach Mark Stream took Leann Warren and Sally Harmon to the US junior meet in Bloomington, Indiana where Warren won in 2:03.02.
Now with only one sport to focus on she completely prepared for her freshman cross country season along with co-Freshman Eryn Forbes. Forbes was a Portland legend who ran a 4:24 1500 meters in the eighth grade in 1976 during the Portland Indoor meet. Injuries and maturation slowed her progress but by the time she reached Oregon she had won seven state cross country or track titles.
That fall Eryn was the fourth runner for the Ducks at the AIAW championships cross country meet with a 39th place finish, Leann fell to the back on the team and 140th overall and the Ducks finished second overall. That was a disappointing cross country season. Leann recalls, "During cross country the first couple of meets went ok. I had bad sideaches by the end of the season."
Things changed for the better when the 1980 track season came around, "800s, couple of 400s, 1500s. It was a really good team and teammates. Everyone was competing. I feel really lucky to be around so many great runners at Oregon. It was a great aspect of track and field to have dual meets with the men. It was an awesome experience. I had a great experience running at Hayward Field."
As a freshman she sat meet records in most of the meets she ran 54.22 for the 400, 2:03.04 in the 800, 4:21.4 in the 1500, and joined the mile relay. In 1979 the Ducks had finished second in the AIAW mile relay (3:41.76). This year they added Olympian Grace Bakari and Leann Warren and won the mile relay in 3:34.55 as Bakari anchored in 53.5 and Warren was second to fellow freshman Delisa Walton of Tennessee (fifth 1988 Olympics) in the 800 in 2:04.88 to 2:04.99. Future 12x all-American and nine time collegiate champion Walton was the one runner in the collegiate ranks with more foot speed (52.0h 400). In 1982 and 1983 Walton eventually set the 600 meter (1:26.56) and 600 yard (1:17.38) indoor world records and four 4x200 meter and 4x400 meter top two NCAA finishes. Warren ran at the Prefontaine meet and won again in 2:02.58, fourth all-time among US juniors.
At the 1980 Olympic Trials held in Eugene Warren was qualified in the 800 and 1500 meters. The 800 was a tremendously fast race won by three-time Olympian Madeline Manning in a meet record (1:58.30) and she finished behind Walton (2:01.93) in fifth (2:02.80). Warren said about that, "I thought I was done but Tom said 'what the heck, why not run the 1,500 meters." She hadn't made the qualifying standard but they needed to fill the field and three days later were the heats of the 1,500 meters.
Leann fell in the heats but got up to finish in 4:25.79. They protested and she was advanced to the final. Mary Decker ran away, as expected, from the field in 4:04.91. On the last lap Leann moved from ninth to third by running down the legendary Francie Larrieu, 4:15.16 (#3 all-time US junior) to 4:15.32, but she did not have the qualifying standard (4:10) in a year that the US protested the Olympic Games.
The next day Leann called Tom to say that Nike would send her to Europe but she needed to fly out that night. Tom and Janet Heinonen drove her to Corvallis (AIAW rules allowed for this) to apply and get her passport, then to the airport and that was closed so they took her to Carrows until the airport was open. In Europe she ran no 1,500s and just ran 400s and 800s.
That trip was only productive mentally, "I went to Europe in 1980 and got torn apart. The perfect way to end my freshman year was to get beaten up. I felt I had a long way to go to get to the next level. I wanted to get experience where there was a lot of pressure in the races. I thought in four years (Olympics) I could get a lot more experience."
Leann trained during the summer and was the fifth runner for the Ducks (107th) at the AIAW cross country championships as Forbes was the top runner in 35th and the team finished fifth overall. She was determined for the track season and went on a tear her sophomore year. She set meet records of 2:06.73 against UCLA, 54.08 against Washington, a 4:30.36 collegiate record in the mile at the Pepsi Invitational, 9:25.94 in the 3,000 meters against Oregon State, she even ran a 52.8 relay split in the 4x400 meter relay and skipped the NCWSA conference meet.
At the AIAW championship meet she won the 1,500 meters in 4:15.00 by waiting until the last 200 meters to kick by Monica Joyce (4:16.15) who tried to run the kick out of Warren but she was patient and said to Track and Field News, "I was just trying to save as much as possible for the 800." An hour later she used her kick to beat Walton (also ran the 4x400 and 800 meter medley relay) 2:06.07 to 2:08.37, a margin that was created entirely in the last 100 meters. She told Track and Field News, "I knew I would be tired from the 1500 so I waited to kick as long as possible. Tennessee won the last AIAW title with 61 points as Oregon tied for third with 40 points (Sally Harmon won the javelin, Eryn Forbes was sixth in the 5,000 among others).
That year Leann was undefeated in collegiate track and only lost to Madeline Manning that year among Americans when she lost to her in the TAC championships 1:58.50 to 2:00.08. After the race Track and Field News heard her say "Shoot, I don't believe it!" because she had just missed breaking 2:00, but later smiled because of her new pr. By that time she had also run 4:12.1 for the 1,500 meters.
That summer she ran 4:25.31 in the New York Mile (on the road downhill), then she ran in US vs USSR dual meet and the World University Games in July in Bucharest. In the heats on July 25th she broke 2:00 (pr 1:59.63 to move to third all-time in the US) and finished second, "It felt so easy. I shut down the last 25 meters. I was trying all season (to break 2:00). In the final I broke 2:00 again and it was so painful." She was fifth in the final. She ran 4:09.32 in Luxembourg in August. She was named AIAW athlete of the year (Broderick Award). She ranked second in the US in the 800 and 1,500 meters and had the top US time in the mile.
With a long season she wanted to take a break, "I was going to take cross country off. By the time I finished my sophomore year I thought they've (Europeans) got faster times but I can do this. I had never trained year-around, done more than one workout a day, or trained for distance races. It would take a lot of experience to go out of my comfort zone. I didn't know if I had the ability or experience to do that well."
Led by AIAW president and UCLA Athletic Director Judith Holland the AIAW dissolved in the 1981-82 school year and all of the major schools joined the NCAA by the fall of 1981.
Leann Warren improved a lot that fall and finished second at the NCAA cross country championships (Eryn Forbes 13th, freshman Kathy Hayes 16th, Lisa Martin 22nd) as the Ducks lost to the Martin Smith led Virginia Cavaliers 36 to 82.
By 1982 Leann and Tom planned to have her focus on the 1,500 meters for collegiate nationals. First she won the TAC indoor 880 yard title with a time of 2:04.61 (school record 2:03.89 for 800 meters). She did run 2:03.11 (season best) to set the meet record at the Washington State meet and ran.
The week before the Washington State dual she offered to triple at the UCLA dual to help the Ducks beat the powerhouse Bruins led by future Olympic champions Jackie Joyner (Long Jump and Heptathlon) , Florence Griffith (100, 200 and 4x100 relay, and Jeanette Bolden (4x100 relay). Warren set meet records of 2:06.63, 4:20.21, and 9:14.02 to help the Ducks win their third straight dual against UCLA, 69-58.
That effort affected the rest of her season, "I got sick after the triple at UCLA and couldn't get act together." She expected to do that double for the team though, "It started my sophomore year feeling like I wasn't a kid anymore, one of the big dogs. It came with expectations."
At the NCAA meet in Provo, Utah she won the 1,500 meters in 4:17.90 and then came back an hour or so later and lost to Tennessee teammate Delisa Walton (2:05.22) and sophomore Joetta Clark (2:06.49) with a run of 2:06.58. With the new 12 person scoring system Oregon finished fourth with 104 points behind UCLA's 153 points and Tennessee with 126, and Florida State. In the javelin Freshman Lynda Hughes was second ahead of Sally Harmon in third, Eryn Forbes was second in the 10k and third in the 5k, Rosa Gutierrez was third in the 3k and freshman Kathy Hayes was second in the 5k. Oregon had a bright future for Leann Warren and Sally Harmon's senior years.
At the US championships Warren sat with the pack as Mary Decker Tabb ran away with a 4:03.37 win. Warren ran a season-best 4:10.23 by closing faster than anyone else with a 62.8 final lap and 2:10.8 final 800 meters. Less than a week later she won the US/West Germany/Africa meet in 4:11.74.
Later that summer she ran in the US vs USSR dual with Mary Slaney. Slaney ran away again and Warren gained some good experience. She got a good dose of rough, international racing. She recently described the race, "Slaney blew out. In the with pack and with a lap to go took second and held it. I felt like I had a pretty good kick. That is I was in the game with 200 meters to-go I had it." She finished second in 4:05.88, sixth all-time among Americans and her third collegiate record.
She says now about that experience, "By that time I figured I could compete against these women. The European women were more than willing to gang up on me. I had to fight like a dog to get around them. They were willing to box you in and throw elbows. At the collegiate level they wouldn't do that. I came away from that race thinking I could do this. I was getting mad, I had to do that."
She said the troubles started after going to Europe and training for cross country. She was ranked second in the US by Track and Field News in the 1,500 meters and sixth in the 800 meters. During that summer, "I trained like a mad woman, injured my knee and that threw me into an injury tailspin for the next couple of years." Coach Heinonen remembers her in the summer of 1981 running hills and gravel and hurting herself. He says, "One leg went bad and then she had surgery and it looked like she would be ok and then the other leg went bad." At one point in time Leann left school and moved to California after three arthroscopic surgeries and two scalpel surgeries.
In 1984 Oregon had the NCAA championships at home and finished fourth and the Ducks had a good shot of winning the NCAA championships in 1985 with most of the top athletes that had dominated the last few years having graduated. Sally Harmon had battled shoulder problems the last two years and both she and Leann would have an opportunity for a sixth year due to the NCAA grandfathering the eligibility rules of AIAW.
When the men won in 1984 the women did not get a lot of credit even though Kathy Hayes won the 10,000 meters and Claudette Groenendaal won the 800 meters and the team finished fourth behind Florida State. Tom and his team felt slighted, "This is great we've done so well but the entire focus was on the men's team. We felt second class because the men had done better."
Everyone knew 1985 was a big year for the team, the team would not even score in 1986. Claudette and Leann were collegiate record holders. Leann had tears in the cartilege under the patella in both knees." Now she says, "Overuse and stupidity on my part. I could not get to myself to see it. If I could have rested. I just did not have the patience."
She ran 4:21 for 1,500 meters indoors in 1985. She says about that, "Just the fact I was able to run and some measure of success. A really long, frustrating road and I was able to run again." That year all of them had a different motivation, "It was a really good way to finish out my career. We were all about the team championship. I don't think any of us were thinking individual. We had such a strong distance core and throwers that could score."
This would be a tribute for Tom, "He had done so much for Oregon track. The end of the first legacy of Oregon track and it was time to nail a championship." Leann was not on the same level she had been, having not trained and a little heavier when she returned, and Tom recalls, "Leann's surgeries changed things. Certainly her progression stopped and she had to start over. She had taken three years off. She did what she did on her senior year on pure talent."
Everyone worked hard that last year and the Ducks set a world record 4xmile relay (18:39.58) record at the Oregon Relays that will probably never be broken (no one runs it). The Ducks saved their top athletes from the conference meet (and still won) but athletes struggled in the heat of Austin, Texas, site of the NCAA championships. The team won but it took Texas and UCLA faltering for Oregon to pull it out. Senior Claudette Groenendaal took second in the 1,500 meters and won the 800 meters as Leann Warren pulled the same double separated by two hours as Warren finished third and fourth in the two races, respectively.
The renewed eight-place scoring system was used and Oregon had its first and only women's outdoor title with 52 points to 46 for Florida State. Groenendaal followed that by winning the TAC championship in the 800 and breaking Leann's collegiate record with a time of 1:59.48. Leann ran in the 1,500 meters and finished fourth in 4:07.50 and closed in her typical fast fashion, 63.0 for the last lap but everyone else was finishing in a similar pace." She stayed in Eugene and ran a mixed race 1,500 meters in 4:07.7 and 800 in 1:59.2 but struggled as her knees started to bother her again.
After the University of Oregon, "I did a lot of wandering around. Ran for Adidas that summer. Ran for AW next year after having pulled a lot of strings with those high-up at Nike. I couldn't train the way I used to. I moved to Maine for three months." The frustration with the pain and problems got her to quit, "I quit running for 1 ½ to 2 years and started to run a little. Road racing, some indoor. No track, so a lot of hurt just from the disappointment."
In 1989 Eryn Forbes had become a lawyer and asked Leann if she wanted to join her and ex-Duck all-American Paul Geis, another Portland lawyer, if she wanted to train in their group. They trained at Lincoln high school. She was excited about the training, "I started having some awesome workouts and got really fit without focusing." Since she was at that point she thought, "I am really fit, I should do something." She ran a few races and in her last race she didn't have a proper warm-up and still ran 32:00 but she was hurt again. She now travels up to OHSU every once in a while to see if she can replace her cartilege and not the whole knee, "It's just a cartilege issue! I just need the cartilege replacement!"
The talent was so evident to everyone around her. Heinonen recently said, "Who knows what she would have done going straight through. She seemed like she was perfect. She was so light footed. She was so mechanically perfect. How could she ever have the problems she had? She wasn't the same and she had no background."
While Leann was hurt Claudette Groenendaal was now the top 800-meter runner in the country and won the US title the next year but now reminisces about Leann, "Leann is one of the missed talents in this country. She really was a talent that this country did not get to see."
Now Leann goes on long bike rides every Saturday. She hasn't been to Hayward Field in more than ten years and would have loved to come to the 1980 Olympic Trials reunion during the 2008 Olympic Trials but she had planned ahead more than a year ahead of time to go to France on a biking tour. Those in Salem used to hear her as a dejay and now she is webmaster for a radio station in Portland.
Oregon has another great chance to win an NCAA title because you never know when this chance will come around again, just ask Leann Warren.

for $1.20 a piece. it could happen. anyone else holding equally optimistic positions?
How is it that the volume on those was only 848 contracts today ? Your 10K at 1.20 should be over 8333 contracts.
Please send me a small vial of your smoking material....
LOL lots of smoking going on here. 10,000/120 = 83 contracts...not 8333 contracts.
You will be able to retire at the 3rd friday in july....wtg
July huh?? It's possible and if sooooooooooo, you ought to do quite nicely!!! Good luck. longon google!!!
It definitely is closer to gambling, but it's also not a position which I think will lose that much value should I decide to sell in the coming week or two. Will likely sell prior to earnings with the hope of selling at $2.40 or somewhere around there with the earnings premium very hyped up
Way to GO!
950% gain so far and holding
I already have a 450% gain on those.
