Sat 10/16 - AM 70 minutes incl. 5k road race

After feeling better the last two days, decided to try and sandbag a race. Worthwhile from an award perspective but took a toll on the legs. The course was a straightforward out and back layout, but hillier than I had expected. Also very windy, relentless 25-30 mph with gusts even stronger. As it turned out, first half of the race was both uphill and into the wind. By then the competition for the win was over, coasted somewhat but still worried about letting any glimmer of hope be established. Not the least bit concerned with time or splits, as expected the middle mile was substantially slower than the other two. Rolling nature of the course didn't treat the left adductor well at all, feeling it on the very easy cooldown and afterward. Later on in the day, right plantar noticeably sore and tender, not something I noticed while running. An unwelcome surprise.
