Sun 5/22 - AM 65 minutes incl. 5k road race

Decent effort, nothing to write home about though. Rode the bike over to Stow and saw soon after arriving I had no chance at all of winning which put a damper on my mood. Gave it a go anyway, felt smooth enough although definitely a little flat. Second mile marker off but I'd guess the pace actually was fairly even which is unexpected for this course with the upward trending final mile. Not that the pace itself was ever anything to write home about, but at least it felt relaxed for the most part. I'd like to think the sub-maximal effort yesterday didn't put me in too much of a hole today but probably kidding myself there at least to some degree. Longish cooldown over to the trails of Gardner woods, a nostalgic spot that I haven't visited in years. Took the scenic route home on the bike. Hip held up surprisingly well to all this, some tightness in hamstring but never debilitating. Left ankle is actually the most tight and sore thing right now. Overcast gloom with ill wind returned after a 36 hour break, getting really old at this point.
