Comments:

First 10km was at 11km//h.
Left foot started to hurt badly at 8km and all the little hills after pretty much killed it.
Last 3km could hardly step on that foot. All swollen.

I really slowdown on the hills, partially because of the foot but also lack of hill training. Many were passing me on the ups.
What would you do differently?:

Solve my neuroma problem. Need to Improve orthotics.
Post race
Warm down:

5min easy run

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Neuroma pain 9/10 :-(
Lack of hill and distance training.

Event comments:

Marking for distance of HM and for 5km very confusing at times, not clear which one was for what distance.
