For the second straight year, I joined Ted and Darcy, in the Symphony of Lights 5k race in Clinton, Iowa. The weather was beautiful for this afternoon race. I was slower than last year, and had to walk some of the uphills. I finished 4th in the F45-49 age group – way behind 3rd. Ted finished 6th overall, and 1st in M40-44. Here he is receiving his medal from Miss Clinton.
It was dark by the time the awards ceremony was over, so we got to view the beautiful light displays on the way to our cars. Darcy’s folks fed us afterwards. I had a great time, well except when I ended up in Camanche after missing the sign for Route 30. I think it was missing in both directions! But I made it back to Davenport safely without having to call for assistance.
