Training through a race?

I'm going for a small cross country race next weekend (6.7 km). The problem is that it will be in a heavy training week.

Shin splints on a seasoned runner?

So, I'm getting pains in my shins like shin splints? I haven't greatly increased my mileage any (around 35 MPW now) and I haven't gained a lot of weight (I'm down about 5 lbs). what's up with that?
