Sun 10/11 - AM 55 minutes incl. 5k road race

In hindsight, a bit ambitious to follow up yesterday's long run with a road race this morning. Fitful night's sleep al fresco as the chill descended. Breaking camp in the morning meant getting cold dew all over my hands which ended up being a bone-chilling experience. As such felt like death warmed over upon arrival, hands cold all morning. Very low energy levels while running the course as a warmup. Took a while, but felt better by the time the race started. Better enough at least. Course went gradually downhill the first mile, flat second mile, than a short somewhat steep hill just after the 2m mark leading back to the finish. Didn't bother to check the mile split, 2 went by in just over 10:40, there was no 3 mile mark. Surprisingly found myself in the lead at the mile, forced the issue to the extent possible the second mile, spent the rest of the race playing keep-away. The course was probably (hopefully?) a little long, otherwise that last mile was quite pokey. Not too concerned about it however. A low-key race to be sure. Leg a bit stiff warming up, worked on a very tender spot near the ilium between warmup and race which left it feeling much better temporarily. Held together for 2 miles, felt it starting to tighten up after that, and then got very stiff post-race. So stiff I was unable to do more than a 10 minute cooldown and that was an extremely slow hobble. More work on the same tender spot followed. All the downhill pounding on the descents yesterday not the best thing for the right leg. Underlying tiredness from not sleeping enough all week incl. last night came to the fore soon after the cooldown.
