Coffee-O-Five

Falmouth, MA, May 22, 2004

232 Racing Team One and Two at Coffee O

Ed Sweeney and Steve Ruane of Woods Hole set the pace at the Coffee O Five this week. Instead of battling it out they finished in a tie for first and conserved their energy for the next day¹s Annual Late Spring Rager. Jess Baker was the first woman and third over-all. She loped home in a time of 31:39 which was not only a 30 second personal best, but was also the fastest women¹s time posted this year. Joe Cobb, who was one of the few Cape Cod runners who didn¹t wilt in the heat at last month¹s Boston Marathon, lopped a minute and a half off his personal best time en route to a fourth place men¹s finish. Marjorie Wainwright was the second woman to cross the line and her time of 34 minutes and change bested Lynne Clay of Bourne by three minutes. Running just his second five miler ever, Dough Tholke knocked a minute off his debut five mile time to set another personal best. 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.
