Record Field of 80 Runners at QD 5 Miler

It was 84 degrees and very humid when the gun went off to start Friday's QD 5 miler. As most of the runners agreed both before and after the race, it simply wasn't a good night to run. Despite the ominous conditions, and the fact that many QD 5 regulars were on the sidelines resting for the next day's triathalon, a record field of 80 runners participated. Nathaniel Haycock's Elm Road water stop was certainly a happy, welcome sight for all the runners on this night.

This week it was Jeff List who came tantalizingly close to breaking through the 30 minute barrier for the first time. He somehow plowed through the heat and humidity and the headwind on Surf Drive to a personal best time of 30:13, placing 3rd overall.

First place went to Dave Osmond of Australia, who's forte is mountain running and stair races. With no such obstacles in his path on the pancake flat QD 5 course, he cruised to a one minute victory over Bill Solimine with a time of 27:50. The two speedsters went through 2 miles in a leisurely 12 minutes flat before reeling off a couple of 5:10 miles and leaving the rest of the 5 man lead pack "reeling".

Sarah Keller also turned in her best QD 5 time ever as she outdistanced former Falmouth High runner Margaret Bradley by a couple of minutes. Keller ran 32 minutes flat, while Bradley ran a very strong 33:44. Payal Parekh of Woods Hole rounded out the top 3.

After the run, many of the runners hopped on their bikes and rode straight to the ocean for a refreshing cold swim. Hmmm... could this be the start of something??? Running and biking and than going for a swim. No, it could be tough in the winter; the QD 5 will remain a running race.

The QD 5 miler is held every Friday night at 5:30 from Town Hall Square in Falmouth. All runners are invited to participate in this free, self-timed event. The beach is a mile away for those who want to cool off afterwards.
