10 minutes prior to race time it was extremely hot and humid... 5 minutes to race time it started sprinkling... 5 minutes into the race the skies opened up and it poured... and thundered... and lightninged... (is that a word???) Newcomers Trevor Merrill and Brock Dastous battled mother nature and each other over the 2.5 mile course with Merrill coming out on top 15:35 - 15:41. Kelsey Hunt, Emily Mastropiero, and Kelsey Connors made it close for the ladies finishing in 19:05, 19:08, and 19:12. 12 runners toed the line, but 4 were DNF - Lightning. Jim Hansen was the lone runner to keeps his wits about him on the course and make a valid word from the 9 letters out on the course. Hansen, a Nashua school teacher, scored 62 bonus points for the word TEACHER. Only one other runner submitted a word, but it was invalid as it used one letter twice - a definite scrabble boo-boo. Next week's theme is What's My Time? All runners will guess their finshing time prior to the race. Runners finishing within 1 minute of their guess will score bonus points.
