February 12, Second Saturday Racewalk, unjudged. 2.8 miles. Sunday this year to avoid the large Valentine's race at Green Lake on Saturday. Nice conditions with just over 50 degrees and pretty calm. An eagle watched us race from the tree tops. Brian "phoned in" his time from Thursday as was busy Sunday. Steve DiBernardo raced again for the first time in a while.

January 14, Second Saturday Racewalk, unjudged. 2.8 miles. Very cold day at 38 or so degrees with strong south wind so wind chill low, plus the force of the wind was bad when in our faces. Luckily the hour of snow we had didn't hit until about 11 am, once race was over. Conditions made us declare a "social walk" day versus a race for those who wanted. Also had several other racing issues so slow days were had by most.
