Ride The Divide will be in Omaha tonight only at the Aksarben Cinema, start time at 7:00. An award-winning feature film about the world’s toughest mountain bike race, which traverses over 2700 miles along the Continental Divide in the Rocky Mountains. The film weaves the story of three characters’ experiences with immense mountain beauty and small-town culture as they attempt to pedal from Banff, Canada to a small, dusty crossing on the Mexican border. The movie was named the best adventure film at the 2010 Vail Film Festival and will serve as a fundraiser for OmahaBikes.org. More info at: http://www.ridethedividemovie.com/
Yesterday’s story was about Kim Pawalek, our 1999 USA Marathon National Champion. The 2008 USA Olympic Trials Marathon was the stage. I stood on the finish line with her boyfriend, 1996 Olympic Marathoner Keith Brantly, waiting, waiting, waiting for the courageous completion.
As part of our Wednesday night coaching offerings we have decided to bring back the Corporate Cup Qualifier Series later this summer. These very low key, but official and USA Track & Field Certified races. It will give those runners planning on running the fall classic a chance to get their qualifiers or just tune up for the big race. We’ll post the schedule as soon as it is ironed out.
Ran with our TNB Meteorologist this morning, she was finishing her last 20 miler before the Salt Lake City Marathon on April 16. She has hit every workout and is getting very well tuned. Evidenced by her nice work in capturing the 30-34 age group at last Saturday’s LC10K. Ice baths, foam rollers, et al. We’ll have our LC10K pictures up on our www.flickr.com account, key word Team Nebraska Brooks, later today. As Always, those pictures are FREE for you to have and hold.
Good to hear from my old buddy Sean Wade this morning. One of the top masters in the United States, he’s taking a year off due to recurring injuries. Always good to hear from one of my Best Mates.
