Comments:

Didn't reach my goal time of 27m but regarding the difficult course and the fact that my calves were slightly injured I'm not disappointed.
I'm happy with my pacing, started out slowly, trapped behind some people, but went faster towards the end. Didn't get passed by anyone, but passed a few myself. That's how it should be :)
Apparently I finished 16th out of 140, which I didn't expect at all! Of course, all the good runners did the 10k, but still, I'm pleased with that.
What would you do differently?:

Not cycle 25k before, not be injured, taper.
This wasn't an A race though so it doesn't really matter.
Post race
Warm down:

Nope.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Injury, cycling 25k before the event.

Event comments:

If I stayed in England I would definately do this race again!
