Yesterday I ran in my second Watermelon Stampede 5k in Muscatine. There was a huge turnout and the weather was fairly decent. Temp at race time was 72 and the humidity wasn't too bad.
I finished with a time of 22:11, which was 6 seconds faster than last year. Last year's time was good enough for first in my age bracket, but this year there was a new runner from Davenport that took that spot. I settled for 2nd place.
This race also has a 10k division that starts at the same time as the 5k, so the metal ceremony is kind of strung out and there is a lot of waiting by the earlier 5k runners for all the 10k runners to finish. Fifty watermelons were also given out by a drawing. Unfortunately, my number was never called and my grandson, Evan was very disappointed.
