Used first lap to settle into pace, reasonably steady all way round, round last stretch harder (with some GI issues).
What would you do differently?:

Not go to office party the night before; drink more before race (especially given temperature).

Warm down:

Straight to loos! Then walked and had recovery drink.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

6 years out of running due to injury, and then only 7 weeks training. Otherwise it was an acceptable return to running.

Event comments:

A good (free) race. Well organised but with no bells and whistles.
