Brigham, Quist Give Running
Lessons
Roxbury's own Chris Brigham made it look like a race, as
he let Mike Abraham and Ed Sandifer run with him for two miles, before parking
them at the bottom of the big hill while he ran away from them. 
The
Old Fossil, Ed Sandifer watched helplessly as Chris, then Mike disappeared over
the hill, and as fast-improving Ken Merrick marched past him to take third
place.
Among the women, camera-shy Pam Quist romped, well over a
minute ahead of Kyle Gancher and winner for the last two weeks, Lynn Zuback.
Tom McNulty was only slightly slower than usual, despite
getting home at 3am, just five hours before the race? So, why was Tom out
so late, leaving himself just three hours of sleep? Blame Ryan Thomas
McNulty, just seven hours old when the race began. Yes, Tom and his wife
are the proud new parents of a baby boy, born at 12:30 am, just hours before
Roxbury began. Tom's wife elected not to run this week.
Congratulations, Tom!
Nine Roxbury runners ran Boston last month. Eight
finished. You can see how they did at the Roxbury at
Boston site.
In last week's picture, we noted that Walt Schuttler and
Carl Hunt had missed last week's race. Their "excuse" was that they were
off in Canada running the Ottawa Marathon. Both of them are trying to run
marathons in as many states as they can. Hate to tell you, guys, but
Canada isn't a state.
This week's picture is Bob Derringer, just moments before
he realizes that he locked his keys in his car.
The Roxbury Races are now listed on
the Internet both on CoolRunning.com
and on HiTekRacing.com.
