Running race 39:54 [4] 10.0 km (3:59 / km)
am: 10k race in conunction with the WAMC Perth 32. Perfect conditions today, cool and calm, so no excuses for a crap result.
Tried to start conservatively again like I did in the Bridges and stick to 4min/k. Didn't quite work as well this time because the km splits were a bit up and down (either that or the k markers were inaccurate). Found it hard to judge how fast I was going. First half was pretty good, but it became a bit of a slog after that. Faded in the last 2k and started to get a stitch near the end. The stitch was quite painful - any farther from the end and I may not have been able to finish the race.
Overall, a slightly better run than the Bridges but still a way to go. Good to break 40.

3:55.8
