Coffee-O-Five

Falmouth, MA, April 23, 2004

Forty plus at Coffee O

The five mile run in 55 degree weather was a piece of cake this Friday night for the four runners who had the pleasure or perhaps displeasure, of running 26.2 miles last week in Boston¹s 85 degree heat. Wendy Stafford, Jack Carroll, Bob Richards, and Jay Lively looked none the worse for wear and were just a shade off of their normal Friday night five-mile times this week. The four tough hot weather runners were among the 36 runners and half a dozen walkers at this week¹s Coffee O Five. Rich Gori of Sandwich led the field through three miles before fading in the home stretch, he held on for a fifth place finish. Ulandt Kim out-kicked Ed Sweeney of Woods Hole by a scant ten second for third. Wendy Stafford out-legged Pauline Lim by just 20 seconds to place first for the women. Justin Widener took five minutes off his time of last week en route to a sixth place finish. Kelle List also chopped a full five minutes off of last week¹s time as she romped home to her fastest time of the year. Laurie Fife trotted home in just under 50 minute with her first Coffee O run in several months. Paul Hartel cracked the 40-minute mark for his first time of the year. A baffled little boy in a baby jogger named Caleb, found himself being used as a relay baton in the walk as he was handed off a few times. The Coffee O Five is a weekly five-mile run and 2.4 mile walk that is held every Friday night at 5:30 from Town Hall Square in Falmouth. There are no entry fees for these self-timed events and all runners and walkers are welcome to participate.
