damo_HAC Dec 2023 8:38am, 4 Dec 2023 639 posts	0 damo_HAC Not too congested, I probably started a bit too far back in my pen, and probably would have run 5 sec p/k faster for the first 5k, but I decided just to chill and opened up after that. Was a good decision in the end as I slowed in last 15k
jomo_richmond Dec 2023 11:14am, 4 Dec 2023 207 posts	0 jomo_richmond Thanks all. Frosty - temp was mid teens in second half of the race. It was sunny for a lot of it but not oppressive. It was quite cold waiting for the start but most people had the usual throwaway layers. Miser - thanks. I am not sure why but I was able to run 2:41 twice this year off 1:19 HM races three weeks prior. I am pretty horrible at converting down to 10k though - don’t have the speed.
jda Dec 2023 11:26am, 4 Dec 2023 16,021 posts	0 jda Great runs from both of you. Negative split and massively under 2:45 again is impressive indeed jomo. Looks like that’s a wrap for the year, unless anyone has sneaky Christmas plans they haven’t told us about.
Frosty The Bowman 🇸🇪 Dec 2023 12:22pm, 4 Dec 2023 3,221 posts	0 Frosty The Bowman 🇸🇪 Sounds like perfect temperatures for me. Maybe i'll give it a go in the future. SO would be glad if i go abroad for a race

Chris Dec 2023 7:46pm, 5 Dec 2023 1,681 posts	0 Chris Great runnings guys, some great times there. I’m sure last time I paid to enter London it was around £35 but GFA this time is around £70. Is that normal?
