Swimming Cure

Woke to a thumping head after one to many yeasts last night and decided early a swim was going to be the order of the day as a means of getting right. Went down more for a cure then a workout, but was fine once in the water
Got there early again and repeated Fridays effort by doing a 1k time trial before the boys arrived, getting quicker as well as i knocked over 17.42 today before M.C, Pete W, Mark M, Christian all arrived to do the 4 x 100s, and 8 x 200s session working off 1.45s
Did the 100s , and the did every 2nd 200, Coming in under 1.40s for the 100s and did 3.20, 3.18, 3.19 and 3.25 for the 200s
Feeling better in the water in the last two swims , so hopefully i can continue to improve.

Well , what can i say.......... Can not finish of without reporting on the Melbourne Ironman yesterday, Huge Congratulations go out to all the lads, in particular old training partner Richie Palmer, and old foe Enda Stankard who both had the races they dream of. Enda has been on the phone and text me 187 times (in 30 minutes ) letting me know all about his race, and even demanded that i write about it on today's blog :) to get off the bike and a run a 3.05 marathon was unreal, he even told me that he smashed Charlie Low as well. Anyway i think he was still drunk as he happily agreed to give me 4 minutes start in the Sydney Half Marathon on that effort ( did tell him i only 3)
Think i got my pre race predictions pretty spot on as well, with Charlie and Hardman J.C both booking there Kona spots - Great effort guys
Even had Enda sending me photos of his race , and has even asked me to put this one on as its one of the better ones he has:)

Enda (left) in his proudest moment.... not quiet sure about his eyes :)

Suggest we all go on holidays for a couple of weeks, as when Enda is around you know he is going to be unbearable now :)

This Thursday is the last Biathlon of the series and bragging rights will be up for grabs within the HuRTs team, Pete Walker is unbackable favorite, With M.C already withdrawn with injury, Kane will be putting his swimming skills on the line, and heard J- Fen will be making his much awaited debut.any other takers please email me to let me know,
A full report on all runners will be submitted later in the week
cheers
