Notes
Went out fast but quickly reined it in to a sensible pace.
First mile in 6:06 - just about perfect.
By the end of the second mil I was averaging 5:59 - mostly downhill and didn't feel too fast.
Third mile was almost all uphill. Hit the 5K marker at 19 minutes, so had lost quite a bit of time on the hill. At that point was seeing some spots on my vision too, so needed to regroup after the hill.
Over the next couple of miles, overtook a couple of people and tucked in behind an older guy who was holding a steady pace until I realised he was slowing a bit. Pushed on myself, though didn't feel like I had much left for a finishing kick. Managed to pass one more guy in the finishing straight. Pleased with the time and 10 OA.
