It
was a dark and stormy night. A pirate ship appeared on the horizon.
Suddenly a shot rang out.

Up top, we have this years Mid-Autumn Classic champions, Jeff Sheldon and Pam Quist standing in front of the rocks. We gave them a choice, a background of rocks and the playground or the outhouses, and they picked the rocks. Good taste, both of them.
Then we have Bruce Goulart, making it look easy. Then the foggy starting line at a race in August. Down the side, we have David Mariani, smiling as he sees the finish line, then Mandy Deming, the one who works the stopwatch and gets us accurate times every week. Below that, Scott Benjamin, who ran the hill hard and then still had half a mile to the finish line.
Farther down, Harry Ong (Dudley is around somewhere) beats Cindy Scannell by a couple of seconds. The last one there is a photo by Charlie Euston of a pack in the 7.3 mile race. You can see Ross Levy's legs in the back, and the corner of Brian Gildea's head behind Jeff Tindell.

Week 36
There was more action in the Top Ten this week. Mark Zerbe lost the place he gained last week and another one to boot when he missed the race and got passed by Lou Denaro and Brian Gildea. Both of them reached the Millennium Man Milestone this week, too. With just four races left, the season is 90% behind us. To get 1000 points on the season, you have to be at or close to 900 points now. Watch closely and see who else makes it. Can Mary and Nate pull it off with a strong finish?
We welcome two Centurions, Zack Kraus and John Richers. This brings the year's Centurion population to 99, and begets active speculation on who will have the honor of being the hundredth.
Also, NINE rookies this week brought the number of different runners at Roxbury this year to 302. That is an important milestone.
In the table below, runners who have not missed a race yet this year are marked with a *. Rookies, those running their first Roxbury race of the season, are marked with an "R", and people reaching 100-point milestones are marked with a C. People whose ages were different this week than they were in our data base are marked with a B. If everything in the data base works perfectly, this means they had a birthday recently, but we know the data base isn't perfect.
