Sun 6/13 - AM 60 minutes incl. 4.8 mile road race

Once again the frog tried to swallow the elephant. Thought I could get away with a little athletic tourism and sandbag a low-key road race win but the turnaround was too tight from last evening's 5k and there was better than expected competition. While my time would have won the past two years, going back further than that indicates it usually takes a little more than a cruise to take this race, esp. given how brutal the course is. Flat first mile, then 400' elevation gain between the mile and halfway mark which is promptly lost over the next mile or so. Legs turned to jelly on the descent and I was in get it over with mode from 5k onwards. Cooldown a 15 minute crawl. Mile splits of 5:21, 6:00, 5:48, 5:44. Very tired before, during and after this thing. Continued dank humidity, which at least keeps the temp down.
