Watermelon Series Race #2 - Race Report

Yesterday morning was the 2nd race of the Watermelon Series in Lakeland.

The weather didn't seem quite as warm as the last race three weeks ago. Still just as wet after it was over though. seems like the keep getting more and more people participate. When Emily crossed the line, her finish card was 650 something and there were quite a few more behind her.

I had a really good race that went exactly as planned. I finished with a time of 18:57 and placed 15th overall. This is the first time I have been under 19 minutes when the temp is over 55 degrees. The time is about 30 seconds faster than 3 weeks ago and a couple places better. Results haven't been posted yet so I don't know age group placings. My friend Robbie showed up for this one so he kicked my butt running 17:32. So I should place 2nd for age group which doesn't matter for the series standings as you have to run all races for final awards.

The 3rd race of the series is July 24th.
