The weatherman said it was supposed to be sunny with temps in the 30s.
Well, it was actually cloudy, snowing with temps in the mid 20s. But
this is the Nielson Challenge, and a little snow won't stop us. Many
others had the same thought as 58 runners still came out to run the
2 mile challenge. 21 of those runners were new to the Nielson Challenge.
2-time consectutive defending champion Kevin Wood came to see if he could
become a 3-time consectutive champion. Kevin came really close and had the
2nd best improved time for the month. Topping Kevin was Edgar Trillo who
was 1:56 under his handicap. Edgar was also the 3rd fastest runner of the
day, finishing in 12:20. It's unusual for a fast runner to improve by
such a large margin. Way to go Edgar!
Join us again on March 1st. We'll see how the weatherman does with the
forecast next month, and we'll see how all of you do in the challenge.
