While these folks were taking it easy on the roads, the Brians of the team were getting down and dirty at the Nebraska Trail held for the 11th year at Platte River State Park.  With the addition of a half marathon this year, both Brian Kelley and Brian Wandzilak stuck with the traditional 12k.  Brian W came away with overall win and Brian K was 3rd OA and 1st Masters.
