A 10K PB... but room for improvement

9M incl Bristol 10K race in 32.03 (5.10min/M 49th position)

This didn't feel like my best race. But it was a PB.

I went off aiming for 5.04min/M (31.30), but got sucked into too fast a start I think. The first mile was just sub 5.00. I then backed off a bit and held fairly steady, slowly catching people from 4-9K. I hardly had anything left in the last K.

But I quite enjoyed it, despite not being totally satisfied with it. My legs weren't in the same league as in the marathon. Partly lack of adrenalin. Partly that 100m rep session on Friday morning. But long may it stay that my legs are up for a marathon more than a 10K.

My aim for the London 10K (in 2 weeks) is to knock 30-40 seconds off this.
