afternoon - PM: start off the down run week and XT with a bang - 50 mile bike ride to Brown County State Park and back.

Lots of dangerous roads and hills and bad pavement and a very sore lower back and shoulders - I am def. a runner. :)  This was an adventure.

AM: CR Series 5k race in town:  2 mi. WU with 4 strides.  Led from the gun to the finish line.  Did not hit the target time for this race, however, so a little disappointed.  Started having trouble after about 2.5 miles.  I looked down at a 5:30 pace at about 2.25 mi. Shortly after this point, I began feeling the struggle with turnover.  

5k Race - 17:42 -- 5:41, 5:39, 5:45, 0:36 for 0.11

Current target is 17:30 for these flatter 5k's, didn't have the finish in me today.

   easy 1 mi. jog CD

PM: 14 mi. bike around town - 51:57 and then 4 mi. easy - 32:51
