Nice Guy do fals first sometimes. Sometimes becomes a Tot of time. A lot of Good time us a lot of winning time. When it Cornea to san Dahlem s Dave Renneisen. The Span Dahlem Streak despite his easy going future an be cocky. He can make statements like Span Dahlem i not too Welt known for sports so i m kind of their one shining Light but then like the Midnight special he goes out and shows Why that Shinin Light keeps on Shinin through. He Lii up the 1986 Continental sports conference and Safe track and Field championships by break ing record times in every race he ran. Running As it senior for the first Lime Renneisen covered four even ranging from 800 to 10.000 meters at Bot meets. And yet that was Only Good enough for three firsts and a second at Csc. The Minneapolis native finished second to Lindsey air station s Andrew Toney in the 800 meters. Toney did t have a bad Day at the races himself winning the 100, 200 and400 meters in addition to the 800. But it still took a record performance to beat Renneisen. Those Short distance dashers can kick it in on thelast Quarter belter than the Long distance runners Renneisen says by Way of explanation. By the time be was into the first Kilometre of the 5,000 meters at Csc his fourth race on the third Day of the meet Renneisen knew he might have stretched his Arches a Bridge too far. I thought to myself what Are you doing you must not be too smart " Renneisen said. Bui Hen he looked around and saw the other Nin ners converging and something inside Dave Rennei sen s gut stoked the coals on the competitive fires Hal fuel the 5-fool-Io, 135-Pounder. The result an Tim Boivin other Mccoid time. When Dave runs he competes against every one his Friend and competitor Hahn s Robert Haugen says. Even Hough he s running in these Nioras hell see the open runners and try to beat  it s that competitive fire combined with Rennei sen s tendency to try to please All the people All the Lime that has Haugen worried. At Csc and Safe Dave did t really want to run a of those races. He was under pressure from the coach at Span Dahlem to run for the team and All that stuff. Dave s just Loo Nice and won t say no. He s so far advanced past the Csc and Safe Levels that he s not helping himself by running All those races. He s just gelling an extra hard workout Bui then that s Dave s mental attitude. He could run just hard enough to win his division but instead he went out and tried to beat the younger Guys Haugen said by not saying no surely Nancy Reagan won t be upset Renneisen risked a lot when he ran the 800 and 1,500 meters in addition to the 5,000 and 10,000 thai he walled to run. There were inter service and Conseil International do sports Militare championships to look Forward to in addition to his German sports dub Competition. But that s the nature of this beast who has devoured the Safe open and seniors divisions Over the last couple of years. He s always setting goals always looking for new challenges always trying o improve. How much of a perfectionist is Renneisen one of his current challenges is to prepare for a Marathon an event he has tried Only once. I ran a 2 42 in the Only Marathon i be attempted and i was disappointed i did i run a 1 20," Rennei sen said. "1 wan frustrated because i knew i could run faster. I Felt like i was giving up too  but Renneisen always learning was student to a key lesson in the life of a runner from that Marathon in Sacramento. That is when it comes to marathons it s not when you finish it s if you finish. Maybe i did t train right. 1 Houghl before i ran that Marathon i could do a 2 42 walking. Now i realize i could run a three hour Marathon and it would be a Good performance Renneisen said. As for his other goals Renneisen in t holding Back. I m going to try to win the air Force Cross country and by to establish myself in the dub races i run with be Oro Hofen near Trier. I be been Able to place in the top three at the regional and slate Levels and i want to keep doing that and then there s that Marathon one of the few things to disappoint the usually upbeat Renneisen. No cockiness Here. "1 have More respect for the Marathon now Ren Neisen. Says respect is something his fellow runners have for Renneisen. And it s not just because of his running accomplishments Dave makes running fun when you re out train ing with him Haugen who s been running with Renneisen since their Days together at Beale fab California says. It s always an adventure with Dave but the winning in t everything to him. Even if he loses a race five minutes later hell be past Thailand talking about How you did congratulating you and offering lips on training so sorry Leo. Nice Guys do finish first.
