High Ottawa winds hamper marathoners.- Despite running against strong head winds, local marathoners Erika Pape and Mark Badior both managed to finish in the @ier five hours category he Capital Marathon ged in Ottawa this past weekend. They were among 750 of the 2,400 persons com- peting to finish the 26 mile, 385 yard course in less than five hours. However, they were well back of race winner Brian Maxwell of Toronto, who turned in a gruelling time of two hours, 16 minutes. Both Mr. Badior and Ms. Pape agree that strong winds hindered their runs. "T was hoping to beat four hours, but the wind held me down," said Mr. Badior who ran a respectable time of four hours, 17 minutes. "T wanted to finish in under four hours, and probably would have if not for the wind," agreed Ms. Pape, whose time of , four hours, five minutes was a personal best. Although the wind was a factor in both in- dividuals' races, ~the capital city was spared the precipitation that showered most of the provinces last weekend. Running under cool grey skies, Mr. Badior said he enjoyed the marathon. "It was a very pretty course, not really hilly, with some slight up and downs," he explained. The course took run- ners from Carleton University to the Chateau Laurier, along Riverside Drive, and , topsoil back to Carleton. The Capital is probably Canada's premier marathon, and this was attested to by the fact that twice aS many runners participated in this year's course as they did in 1977. Both Mr. Badior and Ms. Pape say that they'll compete once more this running season. In October, they plan to run in the Skylon marathon, another 26 mile race that has runners going from Buffalo, New York to Niagara Falls, Canada.
