AM - Series 5k Race in town.  4mi. jog over to race down SR 11.  Notice right out of the door that it is humid and rather warm already.

Race went okay: 5:50, 5:55, 6:03.  Definietly an LT effort.  Really working hard for 6:03.  It s amazing the difference in training specificity and the associated results.  I have run this course around 17:30 two times prior to making the rpimary focus ultra training and long runs. 

Followed up race with a good deal of break time chatting with some folks.  Caught up with seom Columbus Run CLub guys after seeing them pass by the finish line.  A couple miles with those guys, and then some mile repeats on the track around Central Middle.  Some football kid yelled at me to put on a shirt, so I decided to go over and run laps around their practice (silently).  Only got 2 reps in, but it was good to put in as many faster miles. 

17 miles total more after race.
