AM 10k Race in Louisville.  Rodes City 10k.  About an hour drive from the house.  Construction o Interstate and in city is ridiculous down there...

Lots of WU on a painful left groin and some tired legs.  Strides about 15 minutes prior to race and away I went. 

5:50 on a downhill felt about right,

6:01 on a pretty decent climbing hill for most of the mile did not feel great,

recovered a bit (I thought) and came back with 5:55.  I struggled the rest of the way - aerobically not as much as with the stomach and pain in the left leg.  6:11 mile 5, 6:04 mile 6 and about 5:55 pace for the partial.

Its too bad - this is a fun, very competitive race, with a great finishing stretch.  Top 5 places were under 30 minutes!  I could see myself training specifically for this race to run it well next year... maybe.
