"Badger State Inline Podium shots June 27, 2010 from Herb Gayle
Top four overall were:
Mike Anderson 1st (Bont), Gary Blank 2rd (Team Rainbo), Andy Kostka 3rd (Team Hoigaard's),
Herb Gayle 4th (Team Hoigaard's).
The chase pack came in one minute behind yours truly. Dave Swan 5th, Jack Wussler 6th
and Cale Carvell 7th.
The long steep (ski) hill really separated everyone; skaters were crawling to the finish line one at a time.
The next skater was Peter Jennik 9th and John Sherwin 10th (Team Rainbo)
There were age group awards.
Herb Gayle's mini Badge State report. June 27. 2010. Location: Hilbert, Wisconsin on Lakeshore Drive.
The first half of the marathon was quite pleasant as 15 skaters in the lead pack rolled down the long hill. At mile 5, Andy Uttke hit a tar snake and went down hard. The pack slowed down a bit, but we noticed that Andy U. was not getting up. Someone in the pack suggested, I believe it was Jack Wussler, that Mike Anderson chase down the pace car and get for help for an injured skater. At mile 7 we told the volunteers that a skater fell and it looks serious. I saw Andy Uttke and Margaret after the race and they were heading to the hospital. Best wishes Andy for a speedy recovery."
