Sterling, MA

January 1, 1997

Dave Dunham of Bradford, MA, nursing a sore hamstring after his sub-2:20 effort at the Rocket City Marathon on December 14th, ran just fast enough to record his fourth Freezer Five win in four attempts dating back to 1992.
Ed Sato of Worcester, who at age 68 completed 104 races in 1996, finished the year by running the Worcester Mile at 4:00PM on New Year's Eve and the Run into the New Year First Night 5K in Keene, NH which began at 11:45PM. Less than eleven hours later, Ed completed the Freezer Five. (According to Steve Brooks of Gardner, who "outages" Ed by two years, Ed only completed 103.5 races in '96 because the Run into the New Year First Night 5K began in '96, but ended in '97.)
With the course 60 - 75% snow-covered and the temperature in the low teens, times were universally two to three minutes slower than usual.
