State Novice 10km at Ramsgate

Before I did this race which was at 3:15pm I went down to the camping expo. That was a good warmup for my feet!
I had a goal of finishing this race without that injury pain coming on & hoping to go under 40min. Last yr I did just over 38min
I didn't wear a watch so had no idea what my time was. I was pain free untill about 4km then could feel that injury. That made me slow down quite a bit. I was thinking I was going to do about 41min so was happy when I saw I done a 39:45. Not too bad for 4mth off running and racing with a slight injury pain.
I did a 4k warmup then a 3k warmdown. So about 17km done all up
