Well, for the third month in a row, it was another "significant" weather
day at the Nielson Challenge. The temps were mild, in the lows 30, but
the wind was blowing something mighty fierce. Steady winds were in the
low 20 mph with gusts in the 30-40 mph range. This added a little extra
challenge to this month's event.
19 runners still came out and challenged themselves to the 2 mile course.
Two-time defending champion Dean Buck was one of those runners, however,
he did not extend his steak to three. It was Steve Sanchez that finished
both first in the race and had the largest improvement over his handicap.
It's very, very seldom that the winner of the race also is the most improved.
Steve is wearing a brand new, well-earned shirt now, courtesy of EON Studios.
We are putting in our order now for good weather at the March Nielson Challenge,
so please come out and join us next month.
