Festive Brew Run Paves Road to Paddy’s
Publicans: Sorry for
the delay with all things Pub Series related. The day after the Brew Run was
Falmouth and three days later we were at the printer. Then there was John J.
Kelley’s Memorial, etc. Following Paddy’s we’ll be back within a day or two
with the Final tally on the web.
With the unfurling of the giant American flag outside the Woodshed
Restaurant and Tavern in Brewster, the 33rd annual Brewster Brew Run
5.2MÛÓstop No. 5 in the 2011 NER Pub SeriesÛÓhad all the earmarks of a Fourth of
July celebration. Race Director Tommy
Meagher would address the large crowd by the finish line via megaphone,
noting that: “Our total number of entrants today is 1776, an historical
number.”
The massed assemblage no doubt was hoping for July 4th
weather as Saturday, August 13 was both hot and humid for the 4:00 pm start.
Prominent up front in an orange Central Park TC singlet was 27 year-old Matt
Lacey, 27, of Brooklyn, NY. A 2002 graduate of Amherst HS (MA) Lacey was
co-captain and the No. 1 runner for the 2005 Tufts cross country team that was
ranked 5th in the nation and No. 1 in New England.
In 2010 he had run 2:29:22 at Boston and this Aug. 13 he ran
27:16 at Brewster to post up as top brewmeister. Pub Series star Greg Picklesimer, 45, ran another great
race to clinch second in 28-flat, 19 seconds ahead of 19 year-old Paul Cina.
After placing 14th at the Bridge of Flowers 10K in Western Mass. earlier in the
day, Josh “Flash” GordonÛÓnow living in Eugene, OR and betrothed to Renee
KnappÛÓfinished fourth in 28:26.
Pub Series leader Lee
Danforth of the Hurtin’ For Certain Striders closed out the top five in
28:42. Danforth now leads Picklesimer, 240 to 231, and looks to be a lock if
road worthy for the Grand Finale at Paddy’s in Newton.
NER July/August cover gal Brielle Chabot made another splash
at a pub series race, winning handily in 30:53, the lone sub-6:00 pace among
women. “With the heat and humidity I ran a time I honestly knew I was capable
of running,” said Chabot. The 20 year-old former BC runner is still coached by
Randy Thomas, head of the program for the Eagles. “This is a fun race and I’ve
been sticking to 5Ks and 10Ks with no major plans. I’m just enjoying the
summer.”
who placed second among women in Shelburne Falls, site of the Bridge of Flowers
10K. “I was in a good pack of guys and then Renee came up on me and we went
through two miles in 11:40. It was good to have her,” said Chabot, although
Knapp’s time up front was limited as she’d finish 1:20 behind the winner.
With the heightened competition in the women’s division,
McGuiggan’s Pub winner Mariah Tinger
placed 7th in 33:59 and Pub Series leader Meaghan
Scearbo was 13th in 35:01. HFC’s Scearbo, however, also looks to be a lock
for Pub supremacy with a 12-point lead over SRR’s Jen Rapaport heading into Paddy’s.
NER Central heard tales of woe from those who didn’t stay
over the night before and then got caught in traffic (go figure), but there
were also conscientious no-shows from those with their age-divisions locked
up…or were they?
Super Senior Mark
Reeder had a right to be confident but hey! there’s a new Senior Sheriff in
town as SRR’s Bob Cipriano, 51, had an enormous race to place eighth overall in
29:09 and garner all available points (10) as top 50+. This puts him two points
ahead of Reeder, plus Cipriano displaces Reeder among the top five overall.
Super Vet Jan
Holmquist is also in the same boat as Reeder after Stowe, VT’s Patty Foltz won the 60+ division in
40:39, garnered all 8 available pub points and now sits two points ahead of
HolmquistÛÓmeaning that Jan would now have to win her division at Paddy’s (quite
likely) and then have two other 60+ females displace Patty (ain’t gonna happen).
knowing it was mathematically impossible for anyone to catch him and, of
course, nobody did.
