Deiniolen 10k

Race: Virtual Deiniolen 10k
Time/Position: 36.56 (8th from 225 [1st V50])
My V50 debut, albeit not in the way I'd envisaged. My diary had multiple races planned, all long since deleted, so anything is better than nothing. Deinolen was one of them, and as it happens I've never actually done the real race as it tends to clash with other things. I did it all by the book this morning, no negative elevation, 5k from HK down Stringer's Lane to Burton, then back. The race involved a phone app, which counted down and worked well, but it was a real pain running whilst holding the phone! I took a conservative approach to the pacing and was a tad disappointed with the time, as I ran a lot faster than this a month or two ago.
