Got up at five am and got ready for meeting Gene W at his house. We drove to Charlie F's house and met also with Bill. Charlie drove us to Davenport. These guys have known each other for many years and they are very good friends. We got ready and headed towards the corral where we waited. Race started at eight. Temperature was not hot. Perfect for a 7 mile race!
Just like last time, we had to dodge people walking or running very slow for the first couple of miles. I had to dodge people the whole race. I was chasing Charlie for two miles, but then decided to run solo. I ran the first mile in 9:18, but ran the rest under 8:00. Finished time was: 55:35. That was better than last year (56:07). That's motivating.
Saw several Iowa City runners and said hello. We celebrated finishing the race having breakfast at the Machine Shed.
