Run 55:00 [3] 10.0 km (5:30 / km)
shoes: Kayano 15 new
Official time 37:45 for the 8km. Ranks somewhere in the top 5 so fairly happy with that. Wasn't trying too hard until I got to the end. Felt good after I finally warmed up.
Lots of calf & hamstring stretching required for the next few weeks I think.
