I'm not sure exactly what "bloody cold as hell" means literally, but it sure does describe the frigid conditions of this week's 5K. The temperature was (count 'em): three frickin' degrees above zero!

• Glenn Costello visited our humble road race from south of the border in Norwich, Conn. The other 18 competitors, being kind-hearted CMS types, let him have the first-place prize (18:56). [Al Bilzerian (21:04) was lead runner for CMS.]
  
  
• Linda Usher was the first lady (23:59), beating Worcester's own Jodi Hirschman by a little less than a minute.
