March 6th Results (6.1 miles)

Our early starting half-marathoners completed that phase on Saturday at the inaugural Cottage Grove Half. Our team alone accounted for eight percent of the finishers, and one age-group winner (Steve Modee).

Thanks to Shivaun Black for opening the store on Sunday. And to Neal Benson and Rhonda Zimlich for taking over team support in my absence.
