Next Week: 4.8 miles - out and back

on Judds Bridge Road

Sheldon, Shafer again

   Amanda shouted "Go!" and we went.  Jeff Sheldon and Mark LoSacco went fastest, opening an early lead on Brian Vanderheiden and Chuck Rocca, but by the mile mark, Jeff had opened a gap that held up for the rest of the race and he pulled away to win by about a minute.  Brian and Chuck followed at one-minute intervals.

    Among the women,  Kirsten Powers also took control from the start and was among the top five for about half a mile.  By three miles she was running 11th and had lost sight of the people in front of her, Steve Haas and Ed Sandifer, so she didn't notice when they turned right to go up the Jeep Trail. She went straight.  Two people passed her before she could be called back, and she fell from 11th to 13th and lost first place among the women to Mary Schafer by half a minute.

Pictures

   Up top, we have a new picture of stroller sensation Madelyn Bussom, along with new papa Scott.

    Then we have a picture of Chris Deming, pitching in with the stopwatch at the finish line after the race.  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.

Current points standings

 

Week 13

 

    Jeff Sheldon won his fifth race in a row, but he's missed a race, so he only has a nine point lead on Chuck Rocca, up from a five point lead a week ago.  Jeff, though, probably won't run next week as he's doing the Vermont City Marathon, so Chuck might vault into the lead.  Unless there's a big field, though, Ed Sandifer and Steve Haas won't catch Jeff because they're both a little over 50 points behind.  

 

    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.
