December 1, 2006

It was pouring rain in North Falmouth but dry in downtown Falmouth for the start of the Coffee O Five. All thirteen runners on the line were just hoping to get through the run before the deluge came...half of them made it. The other goal was to make the turn onto Walker Street without getting blown into Falmouth Harbor by the gail force south-west tailwind on Surf Drive...everyone managed that. 
  It wasn't a good night for racing and most runners ran together in groups for safety. It was a three way tie up front for the men and Abigail Noble had a fine effort of just over 36 minutes to take first for the women. 
  The Coffee O Five is a weekly five mile run held every Friday night at 5:30 from Town Hall Square in Falmouth. There is no entry fee for this self-timed event and reflective running gear is required in the winter. The event is sponsored by Coffee Obsession and the Falmouth Track Club.
