Armed with my sick note in my pocket i made my way to the start at the Park Hyatt to see a good crowd of the same old faces, Tom, J-Fen, Razor, M.C, Pete W,Clyde, Charlie, Gangster, Bartles, High and Kanser in bright Green Shoes - i had to ask him if he forgot his leprechaun outfit to match ?
Normally a session i do well in this one but i knew today's was going to be a struggle with doing nothing for the past two weeks. Decided early to go out relatively hard and to see how long i could last (especially after being badgered by Tom and co)
First one was quick and crossed for 2ks in 6.44 and would have been happy to call an end to the session there and then. Return was slightly slower averaging 3.25 pace for a 6.49 but knew it was all over by then.
Worked hard to do the 3rd in 7.05, but had nothing left for the 4th rep and really was just happy to cruise home in a very modest 7.40 whilst the rest of the lads were having a cup of tea by the time i crossed the line.
Battled though today but in all honesty was struggling from the off and only really firing on two cylinders and its a trip to the doctors in the morning to try to resolve this problem. Maybe i should consult Kanser, as he has had every symptom known to man over the past 18 months :)
M.C was running well today, even prompted a comment from him about when will i be ready to take him in a race ???????? Kanser was also flying from the front, Richie High on the other hand looked a broken man...Word filtered through from Thailand that his boyfriend Enda has been spotted roaming the streets with another lady boy and has forgotten the love with poor Richie:)
Next Thursday is the HuRTS presentation evening and a biathlon has been lined up before we go the boozer, same format as normal although we will do the swim first. Think we will do it on handicap from the previous times that we did in October, Although Chairman Tom has already started sulking and demanding times from me or else he is refusing to race...... What's going on there?
On early handicap i am tipping Pete Walker to take it out.
Cheers
