Muscatine County 4-H Fun Run

This past Saturday I completed my last competition 5k race of the season. It was also the last race on the Muscatine Running Club's Grand Prix circuit. There are 9 races that make up this circuit and any runner interested in competing in this circuit needs to complete up to 6 of the 9 races. Points are acquired by comparing your time to the fastest runner of each race. Then your points are totaled for all the races (6 maximum). The fastest time is given 1,000 points and everyone else falls in below that number.

My time on this race was 21:57 and was good for 8th overall and 1st in the 50-59 age bracket.

For the season, the fastest time went to the 15-29 age bracket with 5,912 total points. I ended up with 4,350 points and came out on top for my age bracket of 55-59. My individual points for each of my 6 races was: 733, 659, 661, 759, 739, and 800. This accounted for 3-first place finishes, 2-2nd place finishes and 1-4th place finish.

I have one more race in November, the Turkey Trot where we predict our run time and the closest guess in each age bracket wins a turkey.

I hope to get back on my bicycle after spending most of my time running since I returned from my ride across the country. My last time out on the bike was August 28th.
