The cool weather and 2 other races that morning kept the numbers down, but we all had a good time. The monthly winner was Brian Landis, who was 2:46 under his handicap. This was the 2nd win of this year for Brian, so he takes over the yearly winner spot, with just one month to go. To overtake Brian next month, one of the other previous winners will have to win in November, and have a combined under-handicap total better than 6:59.523. Join us again in November. We'll have another great time. Volunteers Al Grimme Luci Stansberry Pat Lockhart Dave Sorenson Andy Rinne Adam Rich Bob Royse EON Studios (shirt donation)
