Newcomer Goes Wire to Wire

Newcomer Kevin Curley won today's race handily, taking the pace out hard and leading wire to wire.  His time of 27:00 for the 4.8 mile course was over 2 minutes faster than that of second place finisher Adam Levy.  Adam worked his way through the ranks after rounding the cones at the halfway point, edging out Ken Merrick by 3 seconds. 

Theresa Krebs continued her win-gathering ways with her 8th win of the season.  She took today's race with a time of 33:48, and was followed by Andrea Behling and LeeAnn Flanagan.

Below the results is a comparison of this week versus last week's times for all who ran both races.  Enjoy!

Pictures

Up top we have a shot of Theresa Krebs from the MidSummer Championship race.  Her time was just one second slower this week than last.  Next up is second place finisher Andrea Behling.  She improved by 38 seconds this week.

Below that is a shot of Scott Benjamin modeling one of those flashy Roxbury sweatshirts for Andrea and the rest of the crowd during the award ceremony.  Dave Harvey who raced today designs all the nifty Roxbury swag.  Get your donations in to Scot Benjamin over the upcoming weeks for the T-shirt drive.  The money goes towards buying this year's t-shirts, as well as grants to local high school track and cross-country teams.  Its a great cause and a neat way to get your name on the back of a goofy shirt!

At the bottom is Fossil's dragon.  It has been a fixture at the bottom of these pages for so long that I am afraid to remove it.

Upcoming Races
Two races to choose from next week.  Or maybe run both!
New Milford 8 Mile & 5K (Sat Jul 31)
Monroe Road Race Series (Sun Aug 1)  The Monroe Road Race Series is organized by Roxbury regular Mark Andrejczyk.

Marathons

Update: The latest idea is to run the marathon on the same day as the November Fall Championship.  This way all runners can start together and those of us running the marathon can just keep going.  And going...   And going....

Scott Benjamin has taken the lead in getting it organized.  If you have ideas, talk to Scott, or talk to Fossil, or eMail Web Guy (address above)  We'll remind you of the issues.

  1. When?  Same day as November Fall Championship race.   
  2. Course - We're gradually converging on the idea of a longer loop, six to eight miles, at the beginning, followed several shorter loops, probably 3.55 miles.  This would make it so we could have LOTS of water stops with just a few volunteers.  However, the numbers don't work out to use the usual 6.4 mile Falls Road loop.  Any suggestions for a fairly un-Alp-like opening loop?
  3. Relays?  People seem to think we should include a marathon relay.  Combining the marathon with the Fall Championship race may preclude that.
  4. Who?  Who wants to take charge of all this? (Answer:  Scott Benjamin, plus whoever wants to help)

 The Roxbury Races are now listed on the Internet both on RunningInTheUSA and on HiTekRacing.com
