And yours truly, VHF, will be entered and competing in my first semi-competitive 10K run since about 1997.

Two pieces of advice:
Don't overdress. It aways gets hotter than you would expect.
And above if you're a guy or a woman choosing not to wear a bra, band-aid your nipples! After my first race I was smarting a pair of very bloody nipples that soaked all the way through both of my t-shirts. I had a very painful shower when I got home.

Good luck

And I've never run much longer. In my prime, 10k was over in under 40 minutes. I'm not sure what my goal is this year, I'll let you know closer to run day.

I've never covered my nipples for 10k.

Maybe we should meet you half way with a bottle of Oxygen? ......you know just in case....

^Excellent. I remember the days when VHF wouldn't walk fast in case the olives sloshed out of his martini.
Looking at results for my age group last year, of the 380 men in my group, the median time was 00:54:21. Hmm, would be nice to be in the top half.
I think I'm right around that time. Next Sunday I'll run a 10k and see where I'm at, although that'll probably be a little slower than race-day, with nobody to pace me.
On race-day it's nice to pick a guy slightly ahead of you, catch up with him and pace with him, then try to move to another target a little ahead, and so on. At a race like the TC, there is no shortage of targets all around you, all race long. In that last 5kms, it's nice to pass more guys than pass you, and that was my experience back in the 90's. I might be in for a bit of a reality check now.

Good luck VHF. I'll wave as I pass you on the 29th
Indeed.
The big race is just a week away.
I did 6.2k yesterday, was pretty easy, but my time was lame (00:33:22), as I went real easy to start.
Anyway, only one, maybe two more long runs this week before the weekend. Saturday rest, then Sunday morning big race.
Woot!
