March 19th Results (6.2 miles)

Not all days go as planned, but most of them work out as hoped when we have a backup plan. That one started early today with a call to Neal Benson. He quickly agreed to fill in as coach, a role he has played before with his own groups. Thanks, Neal! Thanks also to Lindsey Taylor for opening the store, and to Gary Hair's wife Susan for helping on the course.
