McKay Oval 10 x 400s

Scheduled to go to Rushcutters today to run with the boys for the 400s , but seeing as i was in the park and finished at 7am i thought i would save time and get them done early. Beautiful morning again in Sydney town but was ruined just moments before i was due to start when i see 7 Muppet's getting of there bikes preparing for what looked liked a cool down - But more on those clowns later :)

Rolled around the first 400 and thought i was going faster then the 76 seconds recorded, Knew after the 2nd that i wasn't going that well when i saw 75. Had to endure the boys constantly giving out abuse each time i passed them on each lap that didn't help. Tried just to get through the session and hold the pace i was running for the remainder.
Rep times were;
76, 75, 75, 75, 75, 74, 74, 75, 74, 72 - Starting every 2 mins.
Not my best session but after two tough days, and only getting back into it i should be fairly happy with those times.

As mentioned above, i run into the 'Lycra Hardmen (Plus Marshmallow Men) just about to run around the oval as well. Had a quick chat before i started with the guys that included 'Sniffler'Stankard, 'Ireland's#1 (POD), Marshmallow Man (Clyde), Hardman (JC), Captain (Josh) and the 'Laughing Policeman' Samsy. Well i haven't seen a softer bunch of wasters in the park for years, they did nothing but take photos of one another and anything they found interesting .The highlight for me was seeing Clyde posing with his new 'Chain Tattoo' on show, and then Enda standing proud as punch with his new 'Drinking Straw' :)
Only bloke there with any credibility was the 'Original Hardman' JC who will smash Enda by about 45 minutes in Melbourne despite being some 10 years older.


Marshmallow Man complete with his new tattoo, and this was as hard as they run around the Oval this morning .

Cheers

  1. Timmy, you were a disgrace. I only saw you do 4 reps and then disappear off to the toilets...

    Maybe you should join us seeing as both myself and Clyde beat your last Striders 10km time by over a minute off the bike last weekend!!

  2. "off the bike" - isn't that a euphemism for "1km shorter than advertised"?

  3. Tom, normally I would agree with you. But, check the data file 10.12 in fact (with 4k of off road). let's just face it Timmy and Conway are useless!

  4. Oh Dear, Old Rozza, aka - Clyde, Marshmallow Man, Mr Angry, Dolph runs a half decent race then proceeds to give abuse to us.......Nice one,
    We all know that with Easter just around the corner and your desire to eat one to many chocolate eggs it could be your last chance for the year?
    Ps. still awaiting your 6 pack beer bet we had for when 'This Useless Lindop' spanked your ar$e of scratch at last years Husky?..... Mmmmmm :)

  5. Timmy, lets face facts. Even an 80kg Roz can kick your arse over 10k when I am at the end of a tri and you are doing a fresh race. If you want to talk PB's then I can subtract another 5min off my time on Sunday. It is a shame you are not training like last year when you hustled me at Huski!
