Great Yorkshire Run, 24th place.
Disappointed with the time, as I was aiming for sub-34 and ended up being quite a way off that. But less disappointed with the performance, as the time wasn't too bad comparatively, and I beat a couple of people I hadn't beaten before. So trying to take the positives.
Started off too fast, ran the first 1km in just under 3 minutes, and the first mile in 4.55. I was ahead of Jo Pavey at that point, and got a bit of TV time as I ran with the leading two women for about 1k. Got caught by the third woman at 3k, and got some more TV time as I ran with her for about 3k. Got caught by a pack of four runners at just after 6k, but managed to stick with them and pull away again on the horrible two climbs in the last km.
Started well, finished well, but lost it a bit in the middle. I need to race this distance more, my last 10k was August 2010.

Note
Just watched the Chicago marathon live streaming. Moses Mosop set a new course record of 2.05.36, but was 'only at 85%' because of his achilles. I can't believe it's been a year since I was dying on those roads!
