Hazy, Hot, and Very Humid for Coffee O Fivers

Hazy, hot, and humid were the conditions at this week¹s Coffee O Five. Sixty-four runners and a handful of walkers trudged through the oppressive conditions. It was not a night to set any personal bests, and none were set. Sometimes it¹s just not a good idea to let a bunch of sweaty runners know you have a swimming pool. The Pelletier¹s made that mistake last week and much to their dismay they found themselves hosting a post run pool party this week. Matt Clark made it four wins in a row. This week the Hyannis speedster started slow and finished fast, clocking ten minutes flat for his final two miles. D.J. Fairbanks led through three miles and hung on in the end for a third place finish in just a shade over 30 minutes. Don Fredrikson edged Mike Norton for fourth by half a minute Nancy Correia seemed impervious to the elements as she raced home in just over 33 minutes to win the women¹s race. Lynn Holmgren trotted home a minute later running stride for stride with her younger brother. Wendy Stafford nabbed third and Alex Borst of Phoenix, Arizona took fourth. 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.
