AM - 45 minutes with 5k road race in 16:03 on this course. A repeat workout on the track would have been more constructive perhaps but motivation levels have been low of late. Even though it was a later morning start, not feeling especially spry or awake. Tib anterior not feeling great either on the warmup. Topping things off was a persistent north wind, all of it combined to put me in a mood of doing the minimum possible to win the thing. This looked quite doubtful the first mile as it appeared I was being toyed with but the early leader suddenly and inexplicably dropped out and that was that. Pulled away from the only other contender on the uphill final mile. Not entirely sure of the accuracy of mile splits but the first two went in a little under 10 minutes with the third one being in the 5:30 range, a pattern I was expecting given the course layout. Cooldown was truncated as I got caught up in conversations with various folks from my previous life at A-B.
PM - 35 minutes, Area 51. Shakeout, tib muscle area still sore from the effort of the morning. Loosened up somewhat the last 15 minutes. Cool evening.
