It was a blustery Saturday morning in Lincoln. I didn’t contribute by keeping my own hot air in Waterloo but sounds and looks like some decent racing over the top 10 or 11 places. Every one of the minor placings knows what needs be done now, that’s what I love about racing, in your face honesty, here’s what I had today, at least I had the berries to be out on the line, I’m coming to get you and by the gods your ass is mine next time. At least that’s the way I see it. Number six Matt Heesch was the last person under my 10K personal best. I would have loved to race this current crop of Nebraskans at my prime. I hope you all look back 30 years from now and feel the same way, hope your fire never dims.
Lookie Here Now! I declare the 2015 Novartis 10K my Bar None Running & Racing Spring 10K State Championships. A true road race with kits of many colors, the top 3 USATF Clubs all represented in the top 10 on the men’s side. The depth of local quality reminds me of the old course Corporate Cup. Congratulations to Vidlack and Easley on their laurels. http://onlineraceresults.com/race/view_plain_text.php?race_id=46281
There was a host of other local running events including the Run-a-Hoo, TeamMates 5K, and ever popular Fish Fry 5K. No significant competition or times to report.
Pete Kostelnick raced Brew to Brew, 46.64 miles right up his alley, repeating as champ and in a stellar time of 5:29:54, 7:04 pace, fast enough to win the above mentioned 5Ks 15 times in a row, just blows my mind.
