Did the 10k yesterday.

Hurt like hell from the gun (actually a whistle). Started off too fast.

Ended up 78th out of 238. Time was 46.22.

Hand is now healed sufficiently that I can get back on the bike but may continue the running and enter a few more 10k’s throughout the year as it shouldn’t impact the biking too much.

Thanks everyone.

Nice one, but why did it hurt so much ?
Have my first 10k in 2 weeks. Did a few back in my twenties, but older/fatter/unfitter these days. Been running since early Jan. Hoping to do it in around 50mins. Its a flat course, & the record is 29mins!!!
Started running to lose a bit of weight, has worked & actually feel better on the bike also.
Signing up for one every few months probably a good way of staying motivated. 46mins is a pretty decent rsult, you should be pleased with that.
