Warm up jog before race and then a warm down jog afterwards

Urban race around Covent Garden and Soho. Cleanest run for a long time, didn't miss a thing and minimal hesitation. Good leg speed as well. The area was relatively quiet, with only a few early tourists and some late night stragglers around. Charring Cross Road and The Strand were both closed to traffic for the tour of Britian, so roads were clear.
The course was reasonably straight forward, the main thing was to keep contact so you didn't miss the small alleys. Despite it being M50+ managed to sneak the win by 1 second over Gavin Clegg, the number one ranked Brit in M60.

Soho course D - Splits

Warm up and then warm down for London city race

A reasonable run, but could have been better. Ultimately marred by twice misreading a gap, and getting caught in a dead end. The first one was between 10 and 11, and cost about 30 seconds. The second one was on the exit from 15 and cost about 1:30. Other than that ran and navigated well and enjoyed the event.
Need to get an urban point to point race in Australia.
