Hickson Road 1.2k Reps

Met Andy Heyden after agreeing that i could park my bike in his office and made our way down to where it all started Hickson Road. 12.25pm came and went and no sign of anyone...???? then Slowly Hamish rocks up, Well at least we have Andy & Hamish i thought ( no not from the radio either) then casually a small crew arrived,with  Mikey Conway deciding to put in an appearance at 12.33pm. A quick slap or two to pull him in line from me ( in Tom's, Tucks, and Richie Highs absence) and we were away:)
Bartles and Razor Wareham were the first to bolt as i tried to tuck in and get through this tough session best i could with the help of no one else around me. Tom then does his best Enda impression and comes out the bushes at 943mtres into the first rep and joins the team.
Hit the line bang on 4.00 mins, and was happy with that, Past experience tells us that the return is quicker and today was no exception as i held 3.18 pace to record 3.55
Times were.4.00, 3.55, 3.59, 3.54, 4.00
Remarked to Tom that despite doing this session many times over the years it never seems to get any easier, but after a lacklustre couple of weeks i am more then happy with those times.

Last night i was out over Bondi at Hurricanes Steak & Rib House with the BRAT tri boys that include some of the HuRTS crew, many awards given out last night and sorry to say many of  the HuRTS boys cleaned up, I say sorry as some of the awards weren't what you would like to win, there was -
The Tarzan Award ( trains like Tarzan, races like Jane) .... went to Clyde
The Hiroshima Award ( biggest Blow up in a race) .....went to PODster ( claim any one of about 8 races)
The Chocolate Award ( if he was chocolate he'd eat himself) ..went to J.C
The Best Excuse Award .............Enda , Really was there anyone else ??

Good old night with J.C holding court for much of the evening, think everyone is scared of him, his banter is pretty spot on and his sledging has Enda shaking. He is known as the Hardman within the circle of friends and he has in fact got his own U- Tube package online that has gone viral. check out the Hardmans latest.
