HuRTS 4 x 10 minute Efforts

With no sign of Mikey, Tucks, Kanser and with Tom away thinking he's 'Indiana Jones' up the coast i was again called on to issue instructions on today's session (after J-Fen went all shy and refused ).
Today's call was 4 x 10 minute efforts with a 2 min recovery, despite a few away there was a good crowd in tow today in cold and very blustery conditions. (Ref: Flakey for rain and high/low temps for the day)
Tough going out in the wind so settled behind Macca, with J-Fen, Fats, and the return of Scott just ahead, think Macca was struggling a little today after a few heavy weeks as i managed to stay with him as we reached the "Burns' statue in the 10 mins (2.8ks) 3.34 pace, Always a lot quicker on the return and with the help of the breeze i got back in 9.36 (3.26 pace).
Always seem to struggle on the 3rd set and with 100k winds around Farm Cove that saw the lightly framed MrAce, and Laura dragged from the harbour i had to work hard just to stay on track, again stayed with Macca ,and a now struggling Scott  and was 50 metres shy of the previous effort working at 3.38 pace. Almost took off coming past the Art Gallery on the return at a lightening quick pace and managed to hold the pace pretty well even coming back into the wind around Mrs Macs getting back to the gates with 40 seconds to spare running at 3.26 pace.
Happy with that, just need to keep it going for the next 4 weeks now.
Had the old trusty 205 Garmin on today with no issues, so may stick to that for the time being - If anyone wants to buy an Irish made 610 Garmin GPS please email me :)

Cheers
