One of my favourite WAMC races, this 10k crosses 2 bridges, Graham Farmer and the Causeway. It also passes my new work office just off Canning Highway. Conditions were excellent and I knew I could push quite hard as I felt good, just had a banana for brekky. I was hoping for a PB but the headwind along the river after 8km did for me. I was pleased that I sustained an average 4:30 pace including a fast 4:17 finish which saw me reel in a bloke from about 200m in front of me! I like finishing fast but maybe I need to use some of that pace earlier on?
I couldn’t beat last week’s PB, but am still pleased with the 45:30, my fastest on this course.
I love stats, so here’s my progress over 3 years at this race:
| Year | Time | Place | Place in Age Group (M40) | Total Competitors |
| 2008 | 49:44 | 151 | 18 | 325 |
| 2009 | 46:39 | 116 | 19 | 338 |
| 2010 | 45:30 | 97 | 11 | 341 |
So not a bad progression, interesting that a 3 min improvement in 2009 still saw me slip a place in the age group!
