Another race, another great day for H+P! We had a solid contingent who competed in what felt like an inaugural race. The WLU Loop was moved to a new time of year and also featured a completely new, multi-loop course that was extremely spectator friendly. Here’s how our team did:
10K
Rob Brouillette was in first for the team. He WON the event OA with an outstanding time of 33:36, just off the event record.
Dave Rutherford was in next for the team with a great 39:25 performance, bringing him in 4th OA, and handily winning his AG.
Holger used this race as a tempo effort within his long run, but still managed a very solid 42:33, good for 11th OA and 1st in his AG.
5K
Greg was in first for the team with a solid 18:09 finish time. This brought him in 2nd OA and 2nd in his AG.
