Sheldon, Quist return to winning ways

Jeff Sheldon, the 2005 season champion, easily captured the first race of the season at the weekly Roxbury Road Race Series over a chilly, 2.4-mile course Saturday, Feb. 17, 2007.

The 26-year-old Pomperaug High School-Southbury graduate covered the layout, which included a trip up the steep hill on Chalybes Road, in 14-minutes, 15-seconds.

Chris Deming placed second in 14:51in the inaugural event in the 31st year of the series.

Pam Quist, 43, of the New Preston section of Washington, was the first female finisher and placed 12th overall in 16:33.

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 possible.  Also, it is 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

    Up top is the march to the start the morning of the 2005 marathon.  Below that we have Web Guys Sr. and Jr. pacing each other through the first half of the marathon.  Just below that is Race Director Bob Lewis donning the Santa hat and taking part in the race.  

    Along side the results we have Lynnie Zuback and Sinnead Blevio smiling, with Ron Karl behaving himself in the background.  Then there's a shot of Mark Zerbe in his red vest and then one of Fast Mario Hasz and his wife Diane, the Belle of the Finish Line.  

    Down at the bottom, we have three women smiling after the race, Fossil meeting a dragon in Germany, and a collection of three sets of feet. 

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