Really good race. Hadn't planned to run that fast and took it easy for the first few miles before putting the foot down. Missed PB by 20 seconds which isn't too bad on a tough course like this.

Good news is that I improved my 10k PB by 45 seconds.Bad news is that I tripped 3 hours before the race and sprained my ankle a little bit. It was fine during the run, but hasn't been good since. Biofreeze, anti-inflammatories and some rest will hopefully fix it before Wednesday.

Decided to join a local gym for 3 month as preparation for Berlin. Not great (www.fitspacegyms.co.uk), but does the job.
