Comments:

I wasn't sure what to expect given that I haven't really been training much and had cycled yesterday so I started with the aim of running steady race and keeping an eye on the time only at mile markers. Went through first mile at just over 7 minute pace, and decided to try to keep to 7:15 minute miles. This pace was quite hard work but not as tough as the last 10k had felt. Maintained this pace and comfortably inside for first 5 miles but attention started to wander by 6 mile marker - I was only just inside pace at this point so I gritted my teeth and ran as hard as I could to the finish line. Very pleased to have achieved a PB.
What would you do differently?:

More consistent training in run-up to race.
Post race
Warm down:

I stretched and waited for Georgia to finish, then went for short jog with her.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of consistency in recent training.

Event comments:

Nice race, made even better when I realised how many people I knew running race today. Pleased to run PB.
