On a perfect day in mid-January, some of Boulder’s best made the trek to Denver’s Washington Park for the Polar Bear 5K. Kristian Agnew pulled away from the field after the first half mile in route to a convincing 15:10 win. Todd Lopeman, also of Boulder, tried to stay close, but was unable to match the speed of Agnew. He finished second in 15:48. Northglenn’s Tony Tochtrop placed third in 17:28.
Boulder’s Tanya Poel also led from the start, winning by 65 seconds in 18:46. Denver’s Noreen Shea and Erin Kasper finished second and third (19:51 and 20:51).
