Des Moines Corporate Games 5K

The Des Moines Corporate Games 5K and 10K road races were held this morning in conjunction with the Clive Running Festival. After originally signing up for the 10K race, I decided to switch to the 5K this past week due to the issues that I have been having with my back.

It was a beautiful morning for a race and I ended up with an official time of 32:16 which I was happy with. I was disappointed, however, that I placed 5th in my age group which is just one place out of scoring additional points for Dupont Pioneer/Corteva. No worries though because the 10 participation points that I did receive contributed to a HUGE day for Pioneer that grew our 1st place lead over Pella Corporation who is currently in 2nd place.

Next up, I will be participating in the Des Moines Corporate Games Cross Country Races next Saturday. I will be racing in the 4K and it will be my 3rd weekend in a row representing Pioneer for the Corporate Games.
