Sat Apr 20: AM. Ran the Mad City 50k in 3:27:21 (6:40/mi).  The course was five 10k loops around Lake Wingra.  I have run around Wingra probably hundreds of times before in training, but I have always gone clockwise around the lake.  For the 50k, the course went counter-clockwise so that kinda threw me for a loop (or five).  10k splits: 42:45 (6:53), 41:32 (6:41), 40:07 (6:27), 39:30 (6:21), 43:26 (6:59).  I felt strong for 26ish miles, though the last five were a little rough.  Still a good training run.  It was sunny early, then it clouded up and became quite windy.  Temp in the 30s.
