Comments:

I did the 5k in this last year and stepped up to the 10k. It was a good course. The horse track, while hard work, wasn't as bad as I remember. There were lots of rolling hills which made for good competition with a few people. I had a blast, despite the cold & wind.
What would you do differently?:

I can't think of anything, really. I feel like I paced myself well. I didn't set a PB and I didn't expect to, given the kind of course, but considering my time was only about 90sec slower than my PB for 10k, I'm really happy with my time.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretch and walk.

Event comments:

Better organised than last year although they had less murchandise on sale - I was looking forward to picking up some bargains. Lots of free food on offer though :)
