This week’s race was undoubtedly a race of many celebrations. It was a speedy and comfortable night with temperatures in the mid 70’s and the first and last finisher finishing a little over eight and a half minutes apart. Prior to the ringing of the cow bell signaling the start of the race, the 19 race participants gave a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday to Mary Ferraro who celebrated a milestone birthday. Recovering from a recent IT band issue harrier Steve Lombardo (21:08) came up from the final hill in first place followed by fellow senior harrier Steve O’Neil (21:39) and making it 1,2,3 for the harriers was 30 year old birthday girl Mary Ferraro (21:58). Coming up behind Mary was the father and son duo of Seth and Frank Roberts. They were neck and neck until the foot of this weeks predicted time winner Frank (22:49) hit the flour finish line first out stepping his dad harrier Seth (22:50). Another father son duo running this weeks race produced first junior finisher, eighteen year old Patrick O’Neil (23:21) with proud dad Steve O’Neil cheering on his son at the finish. Celebrating their wedding anniversary and running like they are still on their honeymoon were Doug and Colleen Cummings with Mr. Cummings (24:03) finishing ahead of his wife Colleen (24:11). Master harrier Barbara Bosworth (26:05) finished 3rd for the females and not far behind Barbara was fellow master harrier Karen Laforge (26:36) finishing 4th . Three 58 year old racers stayed together and finished 15th, 16th and 17th respectfully, they were harrier Roy Anderson, (27:42) Bob Lussier (28:29) and harrier Peter Stasz (29:00) knocking off more than a minute from his previous course run. Not far behind and handing over his finishing stick promptly was first veteran finisher SMAC’s Don Grant (29:28). After the race everyone gathered to talk about the upcoming Rhody 5K while snacking on the official snack of the 2006 summer sizzlers, Twizzlers. A special thank you to the volunteers of the week; Brian Goddu, Bruce Kurtz, Joe Fois and Meghan Lynch. |
