Wanderer shock troops prevailed over brutal weather conditions at the Northeast Road Runners Club Winter 10K on March 2. Rain lashed down driven by strong winds but still more than 150 runners showed up to compete on the out and back course along Kelly Drive.

Paul Hines opened up his racing season in impressive fashion with a 9th place finish in a time of 37:27. Paul ran at a pace just slightly over six minutes a mile. Chris Moore splashed to a very solid 50th place finish in a time of 45:05. Meanwhile George Barilla and Rock Steady finished 141 and 142 respectively in times of 1 hour and 37 seconds. Sanjeev Balhara also looked strong in his first race in many months. Tom Guano beset by years of knee problems still finished smiling in a time of 1:07:48.
