Newham Classic 10k. A local race for me, this started in Stratford and then headed onto the Greenway - then back into Stratford, along to West Ham Park and back around. I knew that the ramp up to the Greenway at 2.5km would be thin, so got off to a quick start and there were no queues. On coming back down, there was quite a big queue going up which I was glad to have missed. I think if the course had been run in reverse this would have been avoided. A great race overall though and I hope that future years will get more access to the Olympic Park area.
36 seconds off my PB and 75s off my 40-minute season target.
(N.B. My official chip time was 41:41 and my race time was 41:21 - not sure why the chip time is higher than the race time or higher than my GPS time.)
