Congratulations to me for getting this up a few days before it will appear in the mag; and congratulations to Pub titan Terry McNatt who solidified his lead with runner-up showings at both Bobby Bell and Paddy's.

The magical malt dust ran out for Terry at the Cape Cod Marathon...but that's another story. With McNatt, Paul Hammond & Chris Smith finishing in the Open top 5, Masters Jim Sullivan and Jimmy Fallon move into the 1-2 positions among 40+

Congratulations to all the weary travelers who made it to the final trickle, and to those whose cups clattered to the floor - Lorin Obler, Meaghan Shaw, Sue Kenney, Claire McManus, Chris Spinney and the entire Thirsty Irish Runner's Club with the exception of Senior champ Dave Wessman.

Thus ends the first decade of the Pub Series with a few deals being worked for Pub Series XI. Rest up. Invites to Doyles (usually the first week in Dec.) will go out to everyone who completed 5 of the 6 races.
