Interview with Tim Holmstrom – November 19, 2004
<
for joining us for another interview today.
We’re going to be adding to our library of Race Director and adventure racer
interviews, so we’re going to be speaking with Tim Holmstrom. He’s the Race
Director for the Coastal Challenge in Costa Rica coming up January 14th
through 23rd in 2005. So we’re going to be hearing about his unique race and
what it takes to race in this, and what it takes to put an event of that
magnitude as well.
A couple of things; make sure you sign up for the monthly audio newsletter.
We’re giving away great gear every week to continue the celebration of the
launch of www.EnduranceRadio.com, and also make sure you leave us a comment

<
Coast Challenge in Costs Rica coming up here, how long have you been running
this race?”
<
this and putting everything together about a year ago, or I should say in
January, so it’ll be a full year between the inception and the actual
execution of the race itself, and it was just about necessary to have that
much time to try and get the word out and realizing that people are still
learning about this event through different channels. I could use another
six months as far as promoting the race, I wish I had it, but we’ve done what
we could in that year.”
<
this?”
<
lot to offer both in people with adventurous spirits and people who are
competitors. Costa Ricans, by nature, are very competitive. They’re big
into running and biking, and they have a lot of events internally. They were
so happy to hear that we could possibly get some people from the US or
Canada, or other countries, to come down and compete because they feel
somewhat isolated. It’s hard for them to get to other events. Its tough
with their economy to try and come up with the money to get to international
events, so they put on a lot of events in the country itself, and we now
we’re hoping to introduce some people to those events and to the one we’re
putting on and let them see for themselves what a country like Costs Rica has
to offer.”
<
a marathon or triathlon that comes over quite a bit of distance, I mean
that’s tough enough. You’re talking about 250 kilometers. Where do you even
begin?”
<
myself who didn’t really have a lot of prior experience, other than going and
covering the events as a photo-journalist. I saw how things were done, but
even so I had no idea, I just had always seen it from one side of the fence,
so being on the other side of the fence and actually trying to put something
on is completely different, and far more complicated than I had ever
imagined. The one thing that I will say is from the beginning I thought that
since this was strictly running event I’d have a better chance of trying to
manage something like this with help from key people, as opposed to putting
on an adventure race which I don’t think, without a lot of experience,
without working with people who have a lot of experience in putting on a
full-on adventure, I don’t think you could pull it off in a year, and I knew
the fact that it was a running event would help me at least get a leg up on
learning how to put on an event, and logistically speaking a running event is
not that difficult, especially the way we’re going it which is linear and we
have camps each night along the course, and almost the entire course, even
though its in a remote area of Costa Rica, there is road access mostly, dirt
roads.”
<
of adventure race, is that you’re not running this start to finish, you’re
actually timed in each state, almost like the Tour De France.”
<
patterns, and have broken away from other traditions in terms of racing, but,
yes, you do each stage and then you’re timed for that stage and then its
accumulative at the end for our winner in the solo category. We also
introduced a relay category and a team category. The relay category was to
try and bring in people who might be a little intimated by the distance and
they could down with another competitor and split the course up. They could
do that however they pleased, whether they did the first three legs and then
their partners does the second three legs or four legs, or they could do it
on and off throughout the course, but our hope was that it would let people
take this on without feeling like they’d committed themselves to seven days
of that distance.”
<
much clearly marked about where they need to go?”
<
this for runners, and ultra-runners, and although I’ve been covering
adventure racing for years, and my heart lies with how much they love
navigation. I mean, at its core, I think that’s what draws people to
adventure racing. We just thought this was really meant to be for runners,
and so they don’t necessarily like the navigation. They just don’t have the
depth of experience with navigation, and so unfortunately for the AR people
who may come and participate in this, I look at it more for them as just kind
of a training ground, or maybe a get back in shape after the holiday’s kind
of a session.”
<
excel on this type of course? Is it the trial runners and the ultra-runners,
who are used to running these long distances over several days?”
<
the things that’s interesting about this event, and I think different, there
might be one or two others out there but no where, I think, in part of the
hemisphere, the way we differentiate it is that you don’t have to carry
anything other than water. We’re transporting all your gear. There are
self-sufficient running events out there where you’re carrying about 20 to 25
pounds on your back because you have to camp out at night and carry your food
and water, which really, I think, slows you down. We wanted to make a
running race for runners and let them actually run, and go at a pace that
they are accustomed to without carrying the gear.”
<
country to run a race, this is really a good opportunity to get in there and
just concentrate on what you do best and not have to worry about a lot of
things because you’re providing most of that.”
<
people loose sight of that fact when you first mention Costa Rica until they
look on a map, and I think that central America, for some people, is a little
bit scary because if they’ve never traveled there they might think about some
of the countries that have had to deal with civil strife and other things
that would tend to keep people away from those areas, but Costa Rica for, I
would say the last 20 – 25 years, they’ve invested in education and in the
environment and stayed away from investing in any military. They’re a far
cry from the other central American countries, and also even like their
water, they have government sanctioned water supplies for each town, and in
fact the towns take great pride in thinking their waters better than the next
town’s. It’s a different kind of central American country.”
<
you about you chose how each stage would end and where that would end, but
we’re going to take a quick break and we’ll be right back to speak with Tim
Holmstrom.”

<
started this? Did you have any idea where you wanted each stage to begin and
end?”
<
was born and bred in Costa Rica, lives in San Jose, and he’s an adventure
racer, done a few AR races, including the Primal Quest which is were we met,
and I spent some time with him after covering La Rosa, which is a mountain
bike race down there. We went up the coast and I just starting getting this
sense that this coast line; it’s so undeveloped, so beautiful and I just
thought, you know, it might be a good place to put on an event. We just
started talking about it and I thought ‘Wow’, if you could run down this
coast, whatever the distance may be, it would give people a great sense of
the country because it’s a part of Costa Rica; the northern part is more
farming and more agriculture, and then the southern part is more rain forest,
and it really varies, even day to day, the terrain varies, and so I saw some
of it, but then as I’ve gone back there and done some scouting, I’ve seen
even more of it, so it really was a good choice in terms of a revenue, just
because of the terrain variation. Rodrigo knew it like the back of his hand,
so he was able to set camps. In fact one of the camps is on family property
of his, its one of the more beautiful encampments that we’ve chosen, and he,
I think from the start, he had that in mind as being almost a mid-way point.”
<
thing? It’s quite an ambitious task.”
<
allotted to it and it has grown in my mind and I’ve been somewhat absorbed by
it even when I’m not working on it, I’m thinking about it, but, yes, it would
be hard for me to devote all my time to this, but I’ve devoted any spare time
to it.”
<
probably ready for anything, but anything notable?”
<
welcoming the Costa Ricans were; the more Costa Ricans I met in my scouting,
how grateful they were that we were able to try and put on an event like
this. For instance, the Logistics Director, Chava, he’d been working events
for years in Costa Rica, putting on adventure races, but again only with
local communities. When he found out we were going to try and get some
Americans and some Canadians and Europeans down there, he was just completely
gun-ho to lay out the best course, and put this together the best way
possible. In so many words, he just said to Rodrigo and to Craig how
grateful he was, so that’s gratifying. I think I was just surprised that he
and other Costa Ricans were that energized by the possibility.”
<
considering putting on a new event in the US, let alone another country?”
<
to people right away. I can’t tell you how often people have said to me,
either by e-mail or over the phone ‘Thanks for getting back to me right
away.’ They have their questions and so many of their decisions as to
whether they’ll go, what they’ll do, hinge on getting answers back from you
as Race Director, or someone you’ve set up to answer those questions. I mean
in my case, I’m getting back to them personally, but you could certainly set
somebody up whose knows all the answers to get back in touch with people. I
guess my point is get back to them right away because people appreciate it.”
<
event, its got to be pretty tough to really determine actual costs and to try
and get that and then set your entry fee. How did you go about doing that?”
<
setting a price for the entry fee is we wanted to get people interested in
doing this who had never typically gone on an international, who had never
raced in an international event before. For instance, a lot of AR racers
have had the opportunity to go to some eco challenges, or races that are
similar to the eco challenge and that draws an international field of
competitors. What we had hoped is that for runners who don’t typically go to
international events, that we could coax them into coming to this, and get
some of the runners who are maybe more adventurous than they give themselves
credit for. I think, in some respects, they stay inside their comfort zone
with domestic races in the US, and those races are, admittedly, cheaper than
an international race, so we thought the only way we could try and cajole
them into coming to an international race is to really set the price low,
keep the bar a little bit lower, and also we knew that we had some
competitors out there who are more entrenched than we are, and we needed to
just offer a low enough price to be an incentive to come to our race, as
opposed to one of theirs.”
<
<
as a series. We’re not sure if we’re going to create another follow-up
that’s, say, an expedition length race like this one, or we’ll possibly do a
number of different locations that are, say, well not 24 hour races, but say
one day races where its just a single marathon but in a more exotic locale,
and create a series of those. They could be, in some cases, qualifiers for
the Costa Rican race. A lot of people of really into, I think, following a
series of races and we want to try and create a situation where we’re
offering a series as well. I think peoples’ mind-set is that if it’s a
series I want to try and go to all of them, and I think psychologically it
works very well, people tend to want to put that last feather in their cap,
to really mark them off.”
<
and see how it all went.”

NEWS DIGEST
=========================================
Anti-violence bill contains some unusual clauses
Joe Frazier has not seen his children for three years. He said that he is
worried that if a new bill passes to protect women against violence he might
not ever see his children again. The bill, however, is proving difficult for
the Asamblea Legislativa to pass.
It is not only Frazier, a U.S. citizen, who has raised objections regarding
the 166-page bill. In a press release, the Movimiento Libertario said that
the bill duplicates existing laws on domestic violence and sexual harassment
at work. The political party also said that the bill shouldn't be passed
because it only applies to women.
Many women disagree, and at least 300 of them held a march Thursday demanding
the bill’s passage. They cite statistics that show 20 women have been
murdered by companions or ex-companions just this year.
Laura Escalante Monje is responsible for distributing Movimiento Libertario
ideology. She said. "The law that they are trying to pass is discrimination.
Women are not better than men. What we need is a law that is based on
equality for all sexes and all ages."
A press release by the Movimiento Libertario lists the main objections that
the party has regarding the introduction of the law. The law is specifically
related to violence against women. But Escalante said that the bill is
hypocritical in that it discriminates against men. There are three main
issues that the movement has against the bill. The first is that the law
attempts to prevent discussion between partners which could hamper the
resolution of disputes. The movement said that the bill also prohibits
reconciliation between couples. In addition to this, neighbors and relatives
are encouraged to accuse spouses.
The movement said that the bill features many details that go against the
national constitution. The party leadership also said that the bill is open
to interpretation and can therefore be abused. Their main focus is the
section titled: "Relationships of power and trust." Escalante said that just
because a man might hold a position of authority does not mean that the man
is automatically guilty. Escalante said that the bill violates the right to
be presumed innocent until proven otherwise.
The bill also states that if a woman is killed by someone they know
then that person should be sentenced to a longer term in jail then if the
assailant were a stranger. "Why should there be a difference if the woman
knows or doesn't know the person that killed them?" said Escalante. Another
detail in the bill which Escalante believes controversial is if the victim is
economically dependent upon the assailant. The bill states that if this is
the case, the length of sentence will automatically be increased by a third.
Another article states that if you insult, ridicule, or embarrass a women you
could be sent to jail for two to six years.
Escalante also said that Libertarians have requested that the concept of
femicidio be removed from the bill. The movement states that this is because
it discriminates against men. If a woman is murdered, the man is sentenced to
20 to 35 years of prison. But if a man is murdered, the sentence varies from
12 to 18 years. "Why should a woman’s life be worth more than a man’s or a
child’s?" said Escalante.
The consequences of the bill has left some men worried about what their
rights are in Costa Rica. Originally from Texas, Frazier met and married a
Costa Rican woman. He said that all was well when they lived in Texas but
upon moving back to Costa Rica her family began to get too involved. So the
couple decided to move to Panamá. Frazier said that it was then that his wife
abruptly took the children over the border back into Costa Rica. "I have not
seen Kerry or Brandon for some time now. I still have all the presents I
bought them for their birthdays and Christmas."
Frazier said that he is very disappointed and frustrated with the family
courts in Costa Rica. Kerry is 3 and Brandon is 6.
"Men have no rights at all when it comes to their children in Costa Rica,"
said Frazier. He said that he does not think that his case is moving anywhere
and that no one is interested in his plight. In addition, he said that the
children’s mother frequently fails to attend court appearances but never gets
reprimanded.
"I am an honest man and have never hit a woman in my life, I don’t drink and
I don’t smoke I don’t take drugs, and yet I have been treated very unfairly."
Frazier said that he hopes that the anti-violence bill is not passed. If the
bill becomes law, he fears that the scales will be tipped even more in favor
of women.
*Online allegations prompts a quick meeting of officials
A quirky online publication claims the nation’s chief prosecutor is bugging
2,900 telephones and conspiring with a television anchorwoman to assume the
presidency as a strongman and shut down the legislature.
The allegations were presented as a Sala IV constitutional court appeal and a
transcript of a
purported telephone conversation between the chief prosecutor and the
television newswoman. The claims prompted top officials to hold an emergency
meeting Monday.
The television station involved, Channel 7 Teletica, issued a strongly worded
denial during both the 7 p.m. and the 10 p.m. news broadcasts.
The allegations were contained in Campanada, an online publication by Carlos
Roberto Loría Quirós.
Monday Loría published what appears to be a recurso de amparo or appeal for
aid, drawn up by him seeking intervention by the Sala IV. Loría claims the
chief prosecutor, Fiscal General Francisco Dall’Anese Ruiz, has overstepped
his authority by bugging 2,900 telephones, including some used by government
ministers.
Loría also claims that an alliance exists between Dall’Anese and the
television newswoman, Pilar Cisneros Gallo, and other newspeople to supply
them with information about corruption. He further claims that Mrs. Cisneros
accepted payoff money from the French telecommunications firm Alcatel but
that Dall’Anese has agreed to overlook that fact.
Loría in his posted appeal also says that newspeople are trying to make
Dall’Anese a presidential candidate who would acts as a dictator and close
the Asamblea Legislativa.
There is no indication that Loría actually has filed the court brief or if it
has been accepted by the high court.
*OIJ Boss Accused of Sexual Harassment
Three women working at the sección de Delitos Sexuales del OIJ (sexual crimes
section of the OIJ) - the Organismo Judicial de Investigacion - have accused
their boss of sexual harassment to the point that they required psychological
therapy.
The boss identified only by his last name - Ramírez Cartín - was sanctioned
with five day suspension without pay following a 10 month long investigation
that ended before the Tribunal de Inspección Judicial - an internal review
board.
The action by the public official is a serious offence and judicial
officials, including OIJ chief, Jorge Rojas, are being tight lipped at the
events surrounding the review board's decision.
The women said that Ramírez made improper advances towards them while at
work, that included unwanted touching and messages that were interpreted with
double intention. The women felt that their jobs would be on the online at
all times as they refused their boss' advances.
Their workplace, according to the women, became a negative environment,
dreading going to work each day. The women decided to seek psychological
treatment, that resulted in their presenting formal charges against the man.
*17.000 GSM Lines Go On Sale
Did you get yours? was the most asked question around town yesterday, as the
Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE) put on sale the 17.000 GSM
lines on sale yesterday and customers lining up for up to 10 hours to get
connected.
ICE decided to offer the lines that have been abandoned or have been
confiscated for lack of payment by it's customers and may be the last lines
that may be the last lines for a long time, maybe up to two years, as ICE
re-starts the bid for the expansion of it's current GSM network.
This summer, the Contraloria General de la Republica (Comptroller's office)
resufed the contract signed late last year between ICE and the Ericsson
company following allegation of payoffs and problems with the contract, that
would have seen the GSM network expanded with 600.000 GSM lines in addition
to the current 400.000 lines installed by the French telecommunications firm
Alcatel, which has been the at the centre of the ICE-Alcatel scandal.
Customers lined up for hours hours at all the ICE agencies knowing to get
their cellular telephone connected to the GSM network, some with new service,
while others preferring to switch from the older TDMA technology.
A spokesperson for ICE says that by the end of last night more than 1/2 of
the 17.000 lines were gone, with the expectation that by the end of today or
Wednesday they would be completely sold out.
In July of this year, ICE had put 15.000 GSM lines on sale and were sold out
in five days. They followed with an announcement of an additional 10.000
lines, which sold out within the following week. This time, ICE officials
knew things would be different, and were prepared with additional staff and
extending operational hours until 7:30pm.
The lines were long, some like at the Tibás offices extended up to 800
metres. At the Pavas office, the line outside was shorter, however, the
agency has the largest office indoors, which was filled to capacity.
Customers who had lined up were allowed in up to 5:00pm, being told to come
back today.
Those inside were served and according to one insider, they worked up to
8:30pm, until all customers were gone.
The situation was not different at ICE authorized dealers, as customers who
chose to purchase new equipment were able to get connected - or at least have
their application made - by an ICE agent, who have the capacity to install
new service, connected to the ICE mainframe.
*"No" To Drinking and Driving For the Holidays
Curbing drinking and driving will be the main focus for the Policía de
Tránsito (Transit Police) this holiday season. Transit officials will be out
in full force and with a firm hand against those who insist on drinking and
driving, as well as not use their seatbelts or who are intent on speeding.
Transit authorities are gearing up and beginning tomorrow, December 1, they
will start operating spot checks during the evening and early morning hours,
as all speed controls along the highways during the day.
In total, 52 major night spot checks are in the plan and 370 speed controls
with a total of 779 Transit officials on hand.
Though Transit authorities are not giving details of their operations, they
will no doubt be similar to those of the least several years, where, like in
the areas of Escazú, the entire highway is closed off to traffic controls,
where every vehicle will be stopped and the driver questioned on his or her
drinking.
Transit officials have the power to confiscate licenses and vehicles of those
drivers who are too drunk to be behind the wheel, as well as of those
vehicles who don't have the proper registration papers in order, like the
Riteve vehicular inspection or the 2004 marchamo.
*US Airways Puts the World on Sale
US Airways is putting the world on sale for four days only, with fares to
Caribbean and Latin America destinations starting at $158* roundtrip and
European travel beginning at $193* roundtrip.
Under this sale, tickets must be purchased by Dec. 3, 2004, with travel
completed by Feb. 16, 2005.
Caribbean, Latin America and European travel must be purchased three days in
advance of travel, and U.S. and Canada travel requires a seven-day advance
purchase.
*Sample Markets Roundtrip Fare: Albany, N.Y.-San Jose, Costa Rica(4) $341 and
New York LaGuardia-London Gatwick $193.
US Airways is the U.S.'s seventh-largest airline, serving nearly 200
communities in the U.S., Canada, Europe, the Caribbean and Latin America. US
Airways, US Airways Shuttle and the US Airways Express partner carriers
operate approximately 3,300 flights per day.
*Key high-speed Internet connection has failed
One half of Costa Rica’s international Internet cable system has been cut off
due to a failure or damage underwater.
Radiográfica Costarricense S.A., RACSA, said Monday that the Arcos 1 cable
failed Friday but the company switched to an alternate.
For most consumers there was no obvious reduction in service, at least in the
Central Valley.
In 2001 RACSA connected to the MAYA-1 submarine cable and in 2003 to the
Arcos-1 cable, which is part of the New World Global Network Ltd. Both cables
go undersea to Florida where they enter the U.S. internet system.
RACSA said that operators of the system had assured them that the cable would
be back in service within a week. However, the Internet company also said
that it had been told that the damage or problem with the cable was under
water.
International experts are beginning the work necessary to identify the place
and to position a special ship above the area where undersea devices will be
used to make the necessary repairs, RACSA said.

an up to date digest on what is going on in the world around
you.
At The Costa Rica Digest, we don't give you hype or BS or
"common knowledge" solutions, but we aim to give you
the cutting edge information you need. If you wish to
become a writer for us, submit your article[s] for
approval to costarica@destiny-worldwide.net. We cannot
pay for articles, but, instead, you may include a resource
box at the end of your article promoting your website
or product. We welcome submissions of all kinds to
make this a great publication for all to read!
