It is time for the traditional DtB road trip to Sleepy Eye, Minnesota. We will again check out the Buttered Corn Days road race scheduled to take place on Saturday. There are three races—the 20k, 10k and 5k—that all start at 8:00 A.M. Be sure to stick around for the parade and free corn (limit 6 ears per person).If you cannot make the two-hour trip (from the Twin Cities) to Sleepy Eye, you'll certainly want to live vicariously by answering our question this week...

My Answer: Yes
The Yes/No question last week was: Will more women run faster than 60:00 than men under 50:00 at the MDRA 15k on Sunday? The answer was yes - six women broke 60 minutes while only three men broke 50. Twenty players answered correctly last week. Mike Mason maintained his lead and now has twenty-two points. Ryan Aylesworth and Gloria Jansen are right behind with twenty-one points and then there are three players with twenty points.
