That is an amazing time, congrats. I hope to run my first race in many months at the same event a bit later in the summer, was it well organised - easy to access bag drop that you know of? I would be coming along by train/bike so would need somewhere to stow stuff.

Thanks! Yes it's a really well organised race. A few hundred runners but starting in waves, and mini-waves on the start line with 4 runners going off every few seconds. I don't know if you're familiar with Battersea Park but the bandstand area in the middle is race HQ, with the actual bandstand being used as an informal but marshaled bag drop. The regular park toilets are bolstered by several porter loos, the people at the information desk know what they're doing and marshals on the course are very encouraging. Add in a perfectly flat course with gentle bends and not too much people traffic, it's all good. :-)

An actual race! Not including a HM pacing job just before first lock-down, this was my first time toeing the line with actual people since January last year. RunThrough 10k in Battersea Park. Recent sessions suggest I've been getting some speed back and I set out to break 34 mins, so 33:41 chip with even splits was very satisfying. 5th overall, although 3 of those in front of me were also V40! So good to be back. :-)
