2006 Roxbury Race #8

2.4 miles - Up Chalybes

April 8, 2006

8:30 am. 40 degrees, misty rain

   

Sheldon & Quist Win in the Rain

    Jeff Sheldon and Pam Quist added another win today to their Roxbury careers.  This was Jeff's 4th win of 2006, and Pam's 3rd.  Jeff went out fast and led the way wire-to-wire, covering the 2.4 mile course up the steep Chalybes hill in 13:27.  Second place finisher Joe Whelan, still in recovery from last week's Danbury Half Marathon, was about a minute back.

   Pam Quist won in similar fashion over rival Jenna Hannibal, although the margin was only 30 seconds.  This week both Jenna and Pam have run themselves right into the top 10 point list at positions 6 & 7 respectively.  Good stuff!

Safety

    Safety is important to us, as we don't run on closed roads and generally like each other.  

    It is safest if we face traffic as much as safe and possible. (on the other hand, avoid the inside of sharp, blind curves.)  Also, it is much safer if we are all on the same side of the road, instead of making traffic drive between runners.

    Fossil has three rules of running:

  1. Be safe

  2. Have fun

  3. It's more fun if you run well

    Be nice to the drivers.  For the most part, they like us, and they are proud to have us running in Roxbury.  Smile, and, if you wave, be sure you use all five fingers.

This week's pictures

    At the top, we have a nice picture of Mark Zerbe.  Mark made his 2006 Roxbury debut this week after missing the marathon last year and the first 7 races this year due to an achilles injury.  We're glad you're back Mark!

Then we have Lynn Zuback and Sinead Blevio looking happy on a sunnier and warmer day.  Those days will be upon us soon.

    Along the side of the results, we have Mo van Moffaert about to get her stick from Ken Merrick.  Then there's a shot of two camera-shy runners, hiding where they think we won't take their pictures.  Below that is a picture of physical therapist Mike Candito, who now lives in Massachusetts.  The Fossil credits Mike with saving his Achilles tendon, and thus helping end the Fossil's plague of injuries.  Thanks, Mike.

    Along the bottom is another Winter start from 1998.  How many of the people can you identify?
