HuRTS 8 x 5 mins

Fantastic day in old Sydney Town again that meant another huge crowd for the 8 x 5 min efforts with a welcome return of HuRTS number 1 - Tucks, with Fats returning again and looks like he is getting set for another big year.
Decided early that i was going to do 4 x hard and then 4 easy today, so set off tucked in with Tom & Tucks who were taking it easy and reached the 5 mins running at 3.32 pace,picked the return up averaging 3.26 then the 3rd and 4th were similar although the two boys were slightly ahead.
I backed off then as i didn't want to overdo it and thought I'd run at half marathon pace for the final reps - found the 5th harder though as i was getting heavy legged, Was going to follow Kanser's and Durante's lead and pull the pin after 6 but decided to do the full 8.The old shoe lace trick stopped me in my tracks on the 7th rep with young L.J (Laura James) undoing my lace as she flew by.
Pace for the 8 reps were;
3.32, 3.26, 3.32, 3.28, 3.52, 3.45, 4.04, (shoelace),3.50
Solid enough session especially after running Smithfield on Sunday, will rest tomorrow now with only a swim planned with Mermaid (hope she can keep up,as I'll not be waiting) before returning down to Rushcutters for the Thursday session with the boys.

Hope this comes out OK and makes some sort of sense, as my computer is down and i am forced to write this in some dodgy Internet cafe in Newtown, some strange people  here in all sorts of raincoats etc... sure the guy to the right of me is Enda with a mac on a hat pulled down,wont tell you what he is looking at :)

cheers
