Points Leader Wins Race


    Points leader Mike Abraham 
ended the Points Leader Jinx and finally won a race this year.  He had only 
a small lead at the bottom of the big 
Chalybes hill when Nate Beatty came up beside him.  Nate runs for New 
Milford High School.  Abe coaches there.  Among the runners at NMHS, 
only a few ever get to take the coach's scalp before they graduate, and Abe does 
his best to make this as difficult as possible.  Abe woke up, turned on the 
jets and pulled away for a 16 second victory.  Maybe next year, 
Nate.


    Peg Molina won for the women, with Kyle 
Gancher just 24 seconds behind.


    Some people think that the field this week, 
only 28, was reduced a bit by the 900 people who had run Moonlight the night 
before in New Milford.  "But Captain, that is not logical" you say.  
Here's why.  Roxbury is FREE.  If you're not going to win, you might 
as well get beat by Mike Abraham and Peg Molina as get beat by a bunch of 
strangers.  And if you can beat Mike and Peg, then you should run Roxbury 
because then you'll win the race.  Unless you were going to win Moonlight 
anyway, in which case you should run Roxbury because that's where all your 
competition should be.


    Just as well.  We can't handle 900 
runners, and most of them can't handle Roxbury.


    Today's picture is another one 
of Web Guy's favorites, taken last fall. This week's winner Mike Abraham warming down 
with Danbury track coach Marty Ogden, in front of a beautiful autumn maple 
tree.
