02.12.11: Straw Plains 10k

One of several races I look forward to every year. A little on the chilly side sometimes, but it's still closer to home, starts later, and draws a bigger crowd than most. The weather this year was a bit cool (surprise surprise it's February) but otherwise near perfect - sunny and not more than a few clouds in the sky. As usual a veritable post-race feast awaited the runners (Including great shortbread cookies with icing on the side) and good time appeared to be had by all.

At the front the faces were familiar: Stewart Ellington & Kathy Wolski were the winners, Ethan Coffey & Max Paquette were 2-3 on the men's side and Rebecca McDowell & Andee Cranford rounded out the women's top 3. With EBS Team Racing no more, Runner's Market faced no serious competition - the top 4 finishers were Team Runners Market's Open team and no other teams competed in Women & Masters - and made a clean sweep of all 3 team categories in this race (the 4th team division - Corporate - raced in the ½-Marathon).
