@Challengers He may have been slowed up by illness on his first day out this year, but that didn’t stop Pete Kresock from repeating as our first finisher.

@Challengers In the excitement over seeing Gill Haines-Sharp complete the Tough Trail Challenge, I missed that she also finished off all ten of her courses. She’s our second finisher for the year, followed by Melissa Wallace, who claimed her medal this morning. Congrats, all!

@Challengers We have our fourth finisher of the Challenge—congrats to Steve Nathans-Kelley for completing his ten courses today with what is currently the second-fastest Sweet 1600. Steve was also the very first person to register for the FLRC Challenge this year, discovering the registration pages before we had linked it in or announced anything—nice to see the enthusiasm!

@Challengers Congrats to our fifth finisher, Paula Klaben, who recruited some canine company for her shortest course!

@Challengers We have our sixth finisher, Ian Woods, who took on the North Country Half this morning to claim his medal. That also moves him into second place for Most Points and third place for Age Grade.

@Challengers Congratulations to our oldest finisher so far, the 73-year-old Ruth Sproul! She has been doing an impressive job of marking off the courses, and she finished today with the Abbott Ascent, which hopefully dried out a bit in today’s glorious sunshine.

My apologies, @Challengers, for missing this completion earlier this week! (I just moved to a new Mac and forgot to install my monitoring software that watches for page changes.) Congratulations to Lucia Chen, who has now claimed her first coveted FLRC Challenge medal! She had gotten to nine courses almost a month ago, but between the wet trails and her racing schedule, she held off on North Country Half until early Wednesday morning, before the temperature soared. That tenth course also puts her in second place overall for women right now

We’re up to nine finishers now, with past FLRC treasurer Mike Allinger claiming his medal on Wednesday on the Mulholland Waterfalls course, after which he got back to running Lakefront Loops, where he’s third for most runs. Congrats, Mike!
It’s been a busy week, @Challengers, but congrats to our two most recent finishers, John Hummel and Steve Jesch, both of whom finished the Challenge on Tuesday. Steve went out in style by saving his Sweet 1600 for the Sunset Circuits track meet. Congrats, guys!
