Started out pretty well for everyone except Luka Thor. Poor lad had to work the midnight shift and he got to the race just minutes before the start. And in fact was in the bathroom when the gun went off.
Finished kind of weird as the heat really took a toll on everyone during the second half, none more so than Cory Logsdon. Cory was in 5th place when he experienced a heat induced migrane and missed the final turn with a half mile to go.
A lot of good racing in between with Matt Pohren notching the Overall win, darned proud of you Matt! Natalie Como made her Team Nebraska debut finishing 2nd Overall female. Great runs by Matt Schneider, Luka, Justin Mollak, Cheto Cerda, Agustin Delgado (huge pr!), Cory, Natalie Jetensky, Linda Barnhart, Emily Kraus, Joy Shulz, Dylan Wilson, and I’m not too terribly disappointed in my own race.
Michaela van der Westhuizen won the 5K, Christina King was 3rd, Andrew Jacob was third male in the shorter race.
The mates took most of the top 10 spots, I’ll post em up as soon as they become available.
Top finishers now up: **** = Good Mate. Cory would have been 5th or 6th had the heat not toasted his mind.
Very pleased to see the Lincoln Running Company providing some Real Competition for our mates. Logan and Tom and Eric, keep up the good work!
