I know I had it around here, where the heck did it go?
I remember setting it up high, just always assumed it would remain on its lofty prop.
I took a look around yesterday and its gone. Fortunately I’ve got a good group of mates that are giving me a hand finding it and putting it back in its Proper Place.
Tale of two lists. Mine and not mine.
Mine:
# of Nebraskan males that have met the 2:15:00 “A” standard or 2:18:00 or 1:05:00 half “B” standard for the Olympic Trials Marathon- 0
# of Nebraskan females that have met the 2:37:00 “A” standard or 2:43:00 or 1:15:00 half “B” standard for the Oly Trials Marathon- 0
Now please go ahead and take a moment to enjoy the list of sub 3 hour marathon performances by Nebraskans for 2014, courtesy of Chuck Smith’s diligence (posted on ndorfnz.com):

As we wrap up fall racing, most of the year’s marathons are in the books. This fall (Aug, Sep, Oct) there were 20 sub3 marathons, 5 more than last year. For the year, there have been 55 sub3 marathons, compared to 52 last year.
To close the loop on the last post regarding a faster masters marathon than James McGown’s 2:43:44, Mike Vance ran a 2:41:23 in winning Omaha in 2009.
Perhaps somebody has information on the last Nebraska marathoner to run faster than Luka Thor’s 2:22:28. I’m slowly filling in prior years’ marathons into my database, but don’t have one yet. Editor’s note: *** –Thanks to Gary Dougherty for reminding his readers***>James McGown Twin Cities Marathon 10/1/06 2:22:00***
One other intersting note. Last year 7 different woman broke 3 hours. This year there have been only 3 (Kaci Lickteig, Megan Thomas and Shannon Suing). ***Editor’s note: NRGE alone will double this number in 2015!***

Go ahead and recognize and celebrate the mediocrity. I’ll give a nod to the 3 ladies that have broken 3 hours, at least that standard is not laughable for women. And to Luka, his 2:22 the only respectable time of the year for a Nebraska male. The rest of the list is so much locally talented stroking.
Now where’s that damned bar of mine?!?
