Running race 31:58 [3] 10.0 km (3:12 / km)
shoes: Asics Hyperspeed #2
Kew Gardens 10k.
My Suunto is off for repair so ran this on feel. Nice flat course but with a lot of sharp bends. I think the accelerations suit me, relative to other runners, but probably still slower than a more traditional course.
Out in 4th/5th, pulled away from 5th (cool Wallace and gromit vest) around 4km and focused on catching 3rd (preachy god squad vest), which I managed around 6km. Built a bit of a gap and could see 2nd ahead of me then had to stop to sort my lace out which had come undone. What a punter. Fortunately held onto 3rd but should really have been ~10s faster.
Felt like a better run than Ladywell - I definitely prefer road to track - but a long way to go to scare my pb. Onwards!
