I've done this race twice before, around the beautiful Swan river in Perth.
Started off well enough, 1km at 5min/k pace and then around 4:45 for the next 6k. I felt great but unfortunately I felt a dull throb in my right calf. I knew it wouldn't be getting better and sure enough, it turned into a regular pain at around the 8k mark. I managed to keep going but it was painful and I finished in 48:06, my worst time for this event.
I need to improve my endurance, so my long runs will be increasing each week. Only hitting 12k at the minute, which is no good if I want to race 10k.
