| The Route |
This was my first
Born & Raced in Nebraska (BRIN) series race. I was supposed to run the
Leprechaun Chase back in March, but alas Mother Nature was not done with dropping snow on us and it was canceled. I was excited about this 10K series when I found it and was eager to work my way to the
BRIN Blackout medal; a medal given to those who complete all three of the BRIN series 10K races in a single year. After the Leprechaun Chase was canceled, I assumed the Blackout was over. However, that is not the case. They consider it a completed event and the
Cornfield Cornfield and
Harvest Moon Hustle will still count!

| Finish Inside Werner Park |
The weather for this race was absolutely perfect! The temperature was in the mid-60s to low 70s, we had some cloud cover, and there was just enough breeze to keep you cool while you ran! I was not sure what to expect on this route, but I was in for a surprise for sure!

| Elevation Profile |
The race started off just outside of
Werner Park, home of the
Omaha Storm Chasers, and looped out and around the park. The first half of it was generally downhill, but I was surprised with how many hills we actually ran. You can see by the elevation profile that we had several ups and downs. The last uphill climb at the end was a bit brutal. It felt like we were running straight up at times. However, it was a fun race! I am certainly looking forward to improving my time next year!
