Stafford Races to Third Coffee-O-Five Win
May 16, 2003

It sure didn¹t seem like mid May, but 36 runners donned warm clothes
and battled the cold northeast headwind this Friday night at the
Coffee-O-Five. James Tosca led the field as he crossed the line in three
tics under 30 minutes. Jeff List outdistanced Mark Abbott for third. Bob
Crowley cracked the top five for his first time in a while. He edged David
Steube by 30 seconds. Threes were wild this week for Michele Bianchine of
Venice, Italy. He racked up four of them with his seventh place time of
33:33.

Hot off of a fine effort in last month¹s Boston Marathon, Bob Richards
was looking for a personal best time this week. His chances were slim to
none when he hit Surf Drive and was faced with a stiff headwind over the
last two miles. However, his running mates Pete Landry and Stace Beaulieu
teamed up to break the wind for him. That coupled with the lingering cosmic
forces from the previous night¹s lunar eclipse, helped create a vacuumed
wind vortex.

This anomaly propelled the struggling, tired runner to a personal best time by a mere second. Wendy Stafford needed no help at all with her run. She chalked up her third Coffee-O-Five win in as many tries. Her time was 36:41. Stace
Beaulieu edged Elizabeth Sherman for second. The race for fourth was very
close with three women finishing within 20 seconds of one another. Dana
Delorme edged Eileen Miskell by 10 seconds to nab fourth. Kris Tholke took
sixth in 41 minutes flat. Ms. Tholke also had a good effort a month ago at
the big marathon in Beantown.

The Coffee-O-Five is a weekly five-mile run and a 2.4-mile
noncompetitive walk. It is held every Friday night at 5:30 from Town Hall
Square in Falmouth. All are invited to participate in this self-timed
event.
