HuRTS 4 x 10 mins

Yet another massive crowd today - don't know how much more we can get down there, for the HuRTS 4 x 10 min efforts. Rolled up feeling a little tired after a busy morning with work that had me running with all my groups as my bike is still with the mechanic getting fixed after last weeks mishap. Good crowd with all the regulars with J-Fen back , the welcome return of Sonya and at long last ENDA was given the key to his chain to get away from his desk for an hour (although he ended up only doing TWO REPS)
Set off on the first and tucked in with Fats with Kanser slightly ahead, and Mikey Conway breathing down my neck all the way, as was the Italian Stallion, Had the extra burden of listening to Enda the whole 10 mins as well :) Happy with the 1st hitting 2.8ks averaging 3.34ks, enjoy the second one more (the downhills) and hit the gates in 9.37 (3.31 pace)
The dreaded 3rd followed and i was even thinking of it whilst on the way home on the 2nd, again started off strong but blew/lost it/ couldn't be bothered (perm any one from 3) and really laboured to even hold 3.49 pace. Managed to get the head right on the last (again downhill :) ) to get home in 9.33 tracking the struggling Kanser all the way averaging 3.37
All up 11ks for the session, bit disappointed to be honest as i still can't put together a full solid session as i want, Still it's early days and i should be happy with where i am for the time of the year.

Big NEWS of the day , Again Enda has hit the headlines, and it is with a sad heart i report the demise of his rag... I mean his blog that has lasted all of 6 months. He was nearly in tears as he told me today that he simply can't keep up with the big boys especially now 5% Fats and Richie Highs have recently kept his out the Top 10 in the charts. Truth of that matter and the really reason so his wife 'Angel Angela' told the Trash is Enda was struggling to find any words over 4 letters to write and can only use 'The Cat Sat on the Mat' so many times before readers got bored.
At the conclusion of today's session we had a minutes silence as a tribute, it was all to much for Enda though and he was nowhere to be seen, apparently he was already at his desk crying uncontrollably
Personally i think its because he's got his Yellow Skivvy back and will be entertaining the kids throughout the country for the year :)

Will be back in the pool again tomorrow with Mermaid Emma - here's hoping she has done about 7.3ks before i get there,
Thursday seeing as its Skippy Day (Aust Day) i have planned on cycling with Big Sam doing the 3 Gorges ride, although the weather isn't looking to hot, if not its out with Tom and his crew for the 16k Tempo they have set up .
Either way I'll be over the North Side as Highnam has promised me Bacon & Eggs and an unlimited supply of TEA for the morning - Sensational :)

Cheers
