Race 1: Bromley 10k results

The official results of my first race are in! I came a respectable (I think) 15th out of 292 people in a time of 40:39, which was 4:45 behind first place. It was a VERY cold day, so gloves, long sleeves and tights were the order of the day. There were a few brave souls just in shorts and a vest but that was a too hardcore for me! My support team were wrapped up nice & warm, with hot sausage rolls to keep them going.

It was a good course, starting with 3 laps of the running track, followed by 4 laps of the park itself. About half of the race was off road, which very quickly turned into thick mud. There were a few slippages (only one of them was mine!). I'm pretty pleased with my time and feel like, on a dryer surface, I would have shaved at least 30s off my time, so sub-40mins is definitely achievable!

That is the first race done and dusted. Next up a half marathon at the end of February!
