sore for many reasons

so, after riding myself to a nub last week wednesday - i ended up with two zeros thursday and friday. i had been planning to do a 16k trail run but called an audible and opted for the 8k version. i've run all of 5-6 times in the past two months so i thought it would be a death march. the race was at donald park which is across the road from the orchard/raspberry patch/pumpkin patch we like to go to throughout the year (between mt vernon and mt horeb). there were a lot of people milling about - i recognized a few faces from the cx scene and more triathletes that i remember from my tri days. anyway, the race went out slowly and i got impatient (it is becoming a theme when i race) and went when another younger guy went. he was a lot faster than me but i ran in second the whole rest of my lap. when i saw that he went out to do his second lap, it occurred to me that i was winning the 8k race. i was running out of steam but gave it one last push into the wind and got the W by 10 seconds or so. 5 miles in 35 minutes isn't exactly blazing but it was a tough course with three big sustained climbs so i'll take it. but, this all rendered me very sore even today. i took yesterday off work to schlep mulch/do other yardwork which didn't help the soreness factor. back to work today and i rode in - i hadn't ridden a bike in 5 days and it felt great to do so again.
