Sat 10/18 - AM 65 minutes incl. 10k road race

Second leg of the Wayland mini-sandbag series. Felt absolutely terrible, strung out and tired from the jump. More worrisome was how bad the right calf felt, frayed to an alarming degree. Apparently I overdid it with the bodyweight single leg half squats last night, first time doing them in months will have that effect. Rolled through 2 miles in 12 minutes, then a sparkling 6:30 followed by the next two in about 12:30 combined. Shut it down from there on in, last mile no faster than 7 minutes. In fact I would say the 10k as a whole was more like six miles. I wish I could say this was a threshold effort but it certainly wasn't, much more strenuous than that. Very nice course that included parts of north Wayland and south Lincoln. Still warm and sticky conditions. Despite all of this the race was totally worth it.
