Was it the weather? Temps were in the 70s and rising, with lots of sunshine and no wind. We had a total of 152 complete the Nielson 2 Mile Challenge in August. This smashed our previous high of 122, which was set in August of last year. There were many middle and high school runners from TCA and other schools that were using today's event as a qualifier for their upcoming cross country season. Also running today was Olympian Eli Bremer. Eli is leaving for Beijing on August 3rd to compete in the pentathlon. He looks to be ready, as he ran today's 2-mile course in 10:45. Good luck, Eli! This month's most improved runner was Aaron Gohlke. He was 2:48 under his handicap, thus it's obvious that he's been putting in some good training. We were short one of our normal volunteers, as Phil Foster was off on a cruise. With the large crowd, we did need extra help, and several people stepped right in and helped. This includes Gabe Santa Maria, Tom Santa Maria, Glen Dody and John O'Neill. See you all in September. Maybe we'll get some rain by then.
