Pretty miserable conditions. Surprised that abdominal pain was not an issue but hurt after the race. Maybe got out a bit quick in 5:53 and second mile is much tougher with hills and passed 2 in 12:12 (6:17). Last mile much faster but no split. Working hard over the last mile to catch a 13-year-old kid. Results were messed up but I believe I was 3rd master behind 40 and 42-year-old, the latter from Sweden whom I beat last year (Daniel Hagerlof). Maybe top 15 overall. Solid effort after a few crappy days of training since the mile on Tuesday. 18:23/18:21/18:42 last 3 years and in masters awards. It's a strange race. Lots of foreign (Japanese) investors taking selfies everywhere. Never a particularly deep field. PS: Got an email from Brooks CEO apologizing for the timing screwup. Offered to refund my entry fee, give me a free pair of shoes and free entry into one of their Rock'n'Roll series races.

I did okay the first 12 miles and then started getting behind schedule and it got worse. I started fading about mile 14. The hill at mile 18 kicked my but and at mile 22; my hamstring started cramping. I jogged the rest of the way. Beat my previous PR by 17 seconds. I guess that's okay.

Really had a great group be tough during miles 6-7-8 as we cranked to about 7:25 pace using the course to our advantage...

Able to cool off the last 2 miles at 7:45 pace to be in under the goal time...

Lots of people saying positive things about me being the pacer today...lots of PR's too for them...

Those compliments are why I keep pacing and will continue to keep pacing Lincoln each year...

Nice running today friendz

Getting old sucks. 3 port-a-potty stops doesn't help. No complaints about the weather though. And I did not throw up afterwards making Lincoln 0 for 3 (all other races 10 for 10.

Didn't feel good through the first 17 miles and was preparing for the death march the whole time. But after the final potty-stop at 17 it was all systems go.

Passed Ordo in the first couple of miles. He passed me during my first potty stop at mile 7. I passed him again, but then he passed me during my second potty stop at mile 9.

Almost caught Edie at Mile 12-13, but he finished strong and pulled away.

Caught up to Ordo at Mile 17 just in time to take my third pit stop and have him get away from again. Saw TmAC and Kaci having some great races as they were coming back.

I was in 50th place at 20 miles, but caught 15 of them on the way back with 6:28, 6:34, 6:44, 6:36, and 6:23 miles; including Ordo for the 4th time at mile 24.

Went about like I expected. Wanted better than last year, got that. Like the cool temps, moisture not so much. Congrats to everyone on some outstanding performances. Good to see those I ran into. Glad Carl was lucky enough to run into me twice. Sun was out by the time we got home, feels good. Thanks for all the birthday wishes yesterday.

Weeeeelllll....so I hope I'm not fired. Anyhoo, it was a glorious day!! Had mucho energy at the start. Ready to lead others to the promise land (solo). Eladio called saying he had to pull the other pacer at 1:55 and he was fully confident in me!!! :D My group just exceeded expectations. ;)

Yep. Great day. Great hometown. So many cheering us on. Loved it. Feeling a bit blue though. With all these PRs. I just kinda wish I could see what these old legs can do. It's been over two years since I raced a half. Hmmm. Feeling jealous.

Super nice work to all. Yes, I am proud of you all. :) Well done.

Have to give a big shout out to my guys. The other two pups!! Greg and Jason. First fulls. They killed it.

Happy LNK Day.

Cool and drizzly all the way. Haven't done a half since Lincoln in 2014. Just tried to run "comfortable". Shoes were wet enough for my toes to feel cold by mile 4. By mile 6 the arches of my feet got tight. Walked a bit before we got on the trail and again just before "The Hilll". The walking helped a bit, but by the time I got to the hill, my left calf was tight from dealing with the feet and my hamstrings were tight just because they haven't run that far in a while. Each time I walked, I lost some pace when I started running again. I had to walk once more on mile 11 on 10th St because my legs were really feeling it. Plodded into the finish. Didn't feel cold until we left the end zone after getting some nutrition. Then the weather hit! Saw a few friends. Felt bad I couldn't find more, but needed to get to the car and get warm clothes. Run was well off my PR, but about what I expected for how I had trained.

2016 Lincoln Half Marathon

Lined up near the 1:35 group, goal of finishing near them, with a time I could be happy with.

Had some drag at mile 9, and a bit again during mile 12... other than that, I felt pretty darn good the whole race.

Highlights include hanging out with Linny (thanks for the photos!) & Matt pre-warmup, multiple SAS & Meleia sightings, a shout out from Court, a high-five from CoachP, chit chatting w/ MacEE, BigSu, theDude, hskrrs and DD pre-race, lining up with TheNavigator to run, telling Skocz I did NOT want to see him again (he was pacing 1:40), seeing TheJudge for a bit after, and watching PixieNinja, Ordo, TMac and Squintz come blazing in during their races (while hanging out w/ theDude). Would have liked to hang around more, but I was chilled to the core so home I went (20 minutes too early, The Isles doesn't open until 11:00 and that would have been the perfect capper).

Crap weather; great day!

Gave it a shot today. Had a couple off miles where I lost focus, but no complaints otherwise. 31 seconds off my 13.1 PR. "The hill" derails me every year. My wife PR'd again with a 1:44:xx. Kudos to all, but special kudos to Semple. New 26.2 PR for that cat and a BQ that'll stick.

Really didn't know what to expect today after not having very many faster runs because of my foot problem. Did all my faster workouts on a spin bike and cut about 9lbs.
Ended up having a great run! Ran almost 3 min. faster than last years Lincoln and I felt good thru the entire race. Cooler weather helped too. Except I was freezing when I stopped. Nice to see Peg, Chuck and Stud who was pacing the 1:40 group.
