Race announcer Del Web-calling out times of finishers.I ran my first Watermelon Stampede 5k in Muscatine on Saturday morning. This picture shows the final 100 yards making our way down to the YMCA.
They also had a 10k race for those looking for a longer run. The humidity was 65-70% and the temp was in the high 60's, which made for a sticky-warm run. They had a little over 300 participants. I finished 1st in my age group, but wasn't pleased with my time. I ran the race in 22:17, which is 18 seconds above my best time on the Hayes Hustle back in April. My body doesn't perform as well in the warmer temperatures. My split times were 7:10 and 14:20 at mile 1 and 2 and I ended up with a 7:10 minute average for the 3.107 mile race. There were 9 entries in my age bracket.
Recording times for participants finishing race.I would be running/biking the Du State Du the next day and after the exertion on Saturday, would see how that effected my race times on Sunday.
