Big thanks to everyone at Dulwich Paragon, via @owlz, for hosting and organising today's race. The course was superb, making full use of all the best bits of Bethlem.
I got a poor start but managed to close the gap to the front group towards the end of the first lap, then managed to move up 4 or 5 places on the second lap and was running in 5th for most of the rest of the race. I got held up when someone crashed in front of me just before entering the football field to take the bell, and Russell Jones managed to catch me, then choose a better line across the Field of Doom so I couldn't quite manage to get back to him. But I'm pleased with 6th (my guess on where I was but I think it's accurate) given the quality of the vet 40s field today.
