Fifty degree temperatures and clear skies at 6:00am , to forty degrees and rain, at the start. Just a typical turkey day at the Whitin Five. A record amount of entries and finishers (368). The mugs where the hit.
Some notes from the man who set the record for most miles driven over Thanksgiving in New Jersey: Mike Maloney topped the field, but then was thrown out of his hometown of Grafton because everyone knows that Graftonites are CMS members. Geary Daniels (Dudley) led the way for CMS, also topping the masters field. Mario Fraoili, local Auburn High Schooler who ran well in the Central Mass XC championships, placed 6th. Bill Gaudere, who has the same name as the CMS coach, placed eighth, and second master. Russ Trottier, who has departed the cozy confines of high school for the cruel corridors of college, placed eleventh. Mimi Corcoran (Mendon) topped the women's field. Kathie Swanson (Millbury) and Barbara McManus (Worcester) were 3rd and 4th women finishers. Ray Lussier (Grafton) topped the men's 70+ field. Mitch Kahn, of Ringwood NJ, was looking for the Seaside Heights Boardwalk run, made a wrong turn on the New Jersey Turnpike and ended up in Whitinsville, then placed 60th. Dave Wisneski of Michigan thought he would just show up and humble the Massachuetts runners. HA! He even lost to a guy from Jersey. Julie and George Paradis (Oakham) finished together, which was rather impressive, considering that Julie was still cooking the T-day bird and George was mashing the potatoes. Stu Kravitz was the fastest runner from Rochdale.
368 people gave thanks that they were healthy enough to navigate five miles.
