Omaha Corporate Cup - Run

After the 4 mile split, the timing company site says I passed 105 people and was passed by none. I can confirm that I was passed by none and have to go with what they say about the 105. I felt strong the last couple of miles because the hilly part was over. I haven't been running any hills.

I think I did a good job tucking in behind people going into head-winds. Also, my tangents were good... GPS said exactly 6.2 at the end. Course was windy and would be easy to run quite a bit extra if someone weren't careful.

Go out harder in the first mile... took it too easy because I heard mile 2 was a big hill and I didn't want to be in oxygen debt too soon. I ended up having to fight through too much of a crowd in the first couple miles as a result.

ate a cookie about 50 yards from the finish line provided by my wife - there was no post race food. I liked the bare bones nature of this event... my entry fee was $20 and the event was about racing money to fight lung cancer so it didn't have all the annoying frills of most events this size.

switched to a non-sweaty shirt and went to the car with family. we beat the traffic by a big margin and got home easily.


hills mostly and not going out fast enough. I had quite a bit in the tank at the end and at times was downright comfortable when there wasn't any hill. Also since I didn't know when the next hill was coming up, I feel like I wasn't pushing up against or slightly past LT like I should have in a 10k since I didn't want to get killed on a hill.


Probably won't be a regular race I do just because its a drive to get there and nothing really that special about it that I can't get in any 10k closer to home.
