As you can see from the soil piled up behind his tires, he tried very hard to get out of this predicament, but sadly, was not successful.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tNonetheless, there is a lot of winning to report in this week\u2019s Mo Monday blog post. First, Mo\u2019s namesake,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/athletics\/54031824\">Sir Mo Farah, set a new world record in the one-hour run<\/a>. He ran 21,330 meters in the hour, breaking the old record of 21,285 meters. Congratulations Sir Mo!<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe other winning to report today is the winner of the #RaiseTheBlade mulching mower. We used a random number generator (<a href=\"http:\/\/random.org\/\">random.org<\/a>) to select a random number from the 197 entrants (listed in an Excel file with row numbers) who represented 41 different towns from across the Lake Champlain basin. That resulted in selecting a resident of South Hero, Vermont, to win the electric mulching mower. We will be in touch with the winner and make a formal announcement in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kstepenu-mo\/\">Read more Mo Monday blogs on Kris Stepenuck&#8217;s blog page.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, my husband called to me from outside indicating that&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1685,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_eb_attr":"","_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"post_folder":[],"class_list":["post-1041","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uvm.edu\/seagrant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1041","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uvm.edu\/seagrant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uvm.edu\/seagrant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uvm.edu\/seagrant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uvm.edu\/seagrant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1041"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.uvm.edu\/seagrant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1041\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1362,"href":"https:\/\/www.uvm.edu\/seagrant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1041\/revisions\/1362"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uvm.edu\/seagrant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1685"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uvm.edu\/seagrant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1041"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uvm.edu\/seagrant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1041"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uvm.edu\/seagrant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1041"},{"taxonomy":"post_folder","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uvm.edu\/seagrant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_folder?post=1041"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
