Frank Reynolds of Washington will be trying to take home his fourth Eva B. Smith Memorial. “I’d like to equal my time of last year,” he said of his 36:06 mark, a record for Rappahannock men. But Reynolds isn’t putting any bets on himself. He’s been sidelined by iiyuries this winter, an achilles tendon just one of the problems that left him unable to run for over a month. “I’ve been training hard for the last four weeks but I never run heavy mileage. If I put in over 40 miles per week, I’ve done something special. I run faster in practices than some and less miles. And right now, my legs are tired!” he added, laughing.
Overall, Reynolds’ best performance was a second place finish in 1982. “I’ve got no allusions as to that (winning the Fodderetack). I’ve gone out and run the course several times in the last week and my times aren’t getting any lower,” he
joked.
“This cloudy weather is nice. My training has been going very well,” said Phillip Strange from Castleton, another ardent runner who took to the roads 10 years ago. He’s competed in four Fodderstacks, his best overall finish 13th in 1968. Strange has been second in the Eva Smith Memorial Division so many times that he jokingly suggests the addition of a separate category for runner-up men.
