26 degrees, cloudy & foggy skies, and a light freezing drizzle. We just can't
seem to get a decent weather day for the Nielson Challenge. But we still had
31 runners brave ice-slicked streets and compete in the Challenge. One of the
runners was from Nebraska and commented that the altitude really affected him.
The trail was in good shape without any ice.
Jay Luna ran the fastest time we've had in quite awhile, as he clocked a 10:15
2-mile time. But it was Sergio de Lourence who had the largest improvement over
his handicap. He was 54.7 seconds under his handicap, which is really amazing
when you consider the weather conditions. Congratulations Sergio. Wear your
Nielson shirt proudly.
Also, young Carsyn Hamstra competed for the first time ever. In fact, it was the
first time she's run 2 miles. She finished with a smile on her face and received
big hugs from her father and grandfather.
We'll see you all next month. Same time, same place. Be sure to bring your hugs.
