Comments:

Was aiming to run 3:36/km (36:00) but set out a bit too fast. First km in 3:25 and 5km in 17:47 but started to struggle a bit after about 7km. Got a bit of back pain between 7 and 8 k which turned into a nasty stitch at about the 8k marker just when I really needed to start pushing. Overall I'm pleased with it but feel I probably ought to have been able to hit my target - definitely had more in my legs just need to work more on my core strength.
What would you do differently?:

Stick to my planned splits! Got too carried away in the first 5k, trying to go with the leaders.
Not go drinking on Friday night before a race...

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of core strength and too much to drink on Friday. Need to get down the gym again and work on my core.

Event comments:

Good race, new PB. Speed looking promising for Abingdon in two weeks.

Race was well organised and went as well as you could expect with 30,000 entrants I guess.
