I wasn't full of enthusiasm for this race. Mainly because I was still in a grump about the terrible 10k I had done on New Years Day! Needless to say, I got up bright and early, and made my way to Battersea Park. I really needed this to be a better race for me, as I needed to get some race confidence back, in time for the Vikings Coastal Marathon.
It was a super freezing cold morning. I arrived to the race village a little too early. They were still putting it all together!! Sadly there was nowhere warm to stand as it was a public park. Thank god I have learnt my lessons from the past and layered up!! Though I was starting to worry about having to take off the layers!
The race was 4 laps of the park. No big deal. Not usually a fan of laps, but it was a lovely park, and very flat. Just told myself to shut up and get on with it. Not an awful lot more to report on this really. I completed it faster than the Serpentine 10k, which I was over the moon about. Finished it at 01:12:57 where as Serpentine I did a disgraceful 01:17:28. So a huge improvement, a much happier Kerry, on and a fantastic medal!!! Totally makes up for the poor no medal show from New Years Day.
Thank you runthrough A lovely little race, which I will return to in the future sometime.
