Near-perfect pace wins CIT’s Blihar a turkey

The Green Bay Running Club holds an annual run the weekend before Thanksgiving, the Turkey Predictor Run, in which competitors predict the exact time they’ll require to complete a three-mile course and then, without benefit of any watches or electronic devices, see who comes closest. In a field of nearly 50 runners, UW-Green Bay’s own Bob Blihar, an applications developer with Computing and Information Technology, had the third-best prediction, missing by only 8 seconds. The top five finishers — ranging from a perfect match to 16 seconds off — all received free turkeys. (Congratulations, Bob… and absolutely no excuses for being late to your next meeting — “I guess I was running late” just won’t fly.)
