H+P at the 2015 Laurier Loop

The team had a great time at the 2015 Laurier Loop.  We didn't originally intend on entering this race together as a unit, but everything fell into place the week before, and we sure are glad that it did.  We ended up winning the 5K OA for males and females, the 10K OA for females, and entered two solid open teams who ended up walking away 1st (out of 1, but still!).

Here are the complete team results:

5K
H+P Rankings
- Coach Sean came in 1st OA with a time of 17:10
- Nick Burt was 3rd OA in a new PB of 17:52
- Coach Gill came in 1st OA with a time of 20:00
- Martin Chimmel came in with a MASSIVE new PB of 20:01.  This is especially impressive considering that he ran 38 minutes last year at a weight 100lbs heavier than he his now.  What a difference a year of hard work can make; congrats to you Martin!
