Hartel Cracks 35.....Blusztajn Pulls Up Lame

It was a perfect night for a run this week at the Coffee-O-Five
this Friday night. Fifty runners and another 16 walkers took part in
the event.
Rich Molloy of Medfield, who seems to cruise into town every couple
of months or so to attend a wedding, set the pace this week. He ran a
perfectly paced race to place second over-all with a time of 29:38.
Brian Nelson took third with a time of 32 minutes and change. Steve
Hamel, who is fresh off a fine finish in the recent Falmouth Road Race,
edged Sean Kelley for fourth. Mr. Hamel was third over-all in the very
first Falmouth Road Race in 1973. The years have been kind to Mr. Hamel
as his time in this year’s race was only six minutes slower than his
time of 30 years ago.
Courtney Polakovic turned in another fine effort with a time of
32:42, which easily won the women’s race and was good enough to place
fourth over-all. Lindsay Dutton took second which was her best finish
ever at the Coffee-O. Chris Scott edged Elizabeth Waldman for third.
Paul Hartel found the cool weather to his liking and he scorched
the course with a personal best time of 34:59. Mr. Hartel is training
for the Dublin Marathon this fall. Jurek Blusztajn pulled up lame on
Surf Drive with a pulled hamstring and had to limp back in to Town Hall
Square. Mr. Blusztajn is a rugged Coffee-O-Five veteran with 130
finishes to his credit. That places him fourth on the all time top
finisher list.
The Coffee-O-Five is a weekly five mile road race which starts and
finishes at Town Hall Square in Falmouth. There is no entry fee for
this self-timed event and all runners are welcome to participate. There
is also a 2.4 mile noncompetitive walk for those who want to take it a
little slower.
