Tree City 10k in Greensburg, IN.  Flat course but with some minor "obstacles" specific to the conditions of the race.  This flat, 2-lap course passes over a one lane bridge where slower runners participating in 5k cause a traffic jam - had to "lightly nudge" a runner as I passed to her right - sorry whoever you were :(  Part of the course follows a gravel path that is ground down to a sandy surface - this noticeably slowed me down on both laps.  The head wind at times was also a factor.  However, I think this is actually my 10k PR, though not the time I was shooting for.  2nd overall.

 

What am I doing wrong here?  The same error message with a "non-standard distance"?
