  • Comments: Maybe its the triathlete in me, or maybe I'm just used to it but I think the water tables could be a little closer. They are about 2-2.5 mile apart and if you missed one it seemed like forever till the next. Ya I know, pay attention you know its coming but things happen. Everyone out there was great at all the stations and extras in between them too. Thanks Nebraska the Lincoln Track Club and the National Guard for the race !!!! If you have done the Army 10 Miler, the MCM, and Air Force Marathon PUT THIS ONE ON YOUR LIST OF MILITARY RACES TO DO !

  • Comments: The race didn't turn out quite the way I hoped. I was hoping to finish in under 4 hours and feel better throughout the late stages of the race. Looking back I got what I trained for. That being said it was still a good race, I can now say I finished a marathon. Also the crowd support and support from the cheering section, (Kim, Deena, Mom, Dad, Jeff,and Kaley) was pretty awesome. It was great to run and finish the race with a good friend. I think running together helped Justin and I a ton. Learned a lot and got a good gage of my fitness.

  • Comments: Love the race. Spectators are what makes this race. The support was awesome. Some spectators even made make shift aid stations with cardboard tables and a bowls of Jelly Beans. Like Jeremy said, those were the best tasting Jelly Beans ever. If you want to find ways to serve, cheer on runners and make little aid stations such I previously said. This goes a long ways, especially after the 20 mile mark.

  • Comments: I certainly would have liked my stomach to cooperate a little better the last 6 miles, but I couldn't be more pleased with this race. It was awesome to run that race with Scott and I would not have done as well as I did if it weren't for him. I got a new PR, how can i complain. :) I do think I'm going to skip spin class tomorrow morning, my legs are a little sore. :)

  • Comments: Didn't like running on bike path along hwy 2 (too narrow for the number of participants). I also thought that 2 street lanes should've been open to runners throughout the entire 2nd half of out & back route. The stadium was a nice touch, but was too congested right after the chute and made it difficult to cool down.

  • Comments: Three mile spacings between some of the drink stations at critical points on the course. Crowd and volunteers were awesome. Would've been nice to have an ice bath for my feet at5 the end of the race.
