10K race in Vile-parle

Ran a 10K race after years yesterday at the Keep on Running India 10K which was held at Vile-Parle East, suburb of Mumbai. It was a flat track with two loops of 5K, the weather was okay and drizzling to slightly light showers. There were too many twists and turns for a 10K, but the roads were okay and crowds were non existent for a sunday morning. There were sufficient volunteers at every corner so a possibility that a runner might get lost was not there. Since I was racing after a long time, and not much of strength training in the interregnum, was pleasantly surprised that I was able to maintain the pace for a long time. The whole ideas was to treat it as a long tempo run, so that was good in the end.
