HuRT 2 x 20 minute Tempo

Well the Achilles stood the test yesterday so decided to hit the city today and join the boys for the 2 x 20 minute tempo session that i always find tough at the best of times. Big turnout again with the return of Mikey Conway (after yet another holiday ) and S.A.S (Slim Agnew Sam) returning from his successful London venture..
Started off and after a brief chat with Fats as to when the 'Home Brew' Evening was going to happen i settled down and was soon joined by Sam and pretty much stayed with him all the way and reached the Sydney Theatre Company within the 20 minutes covering 5.55ks averaging 3.36 per/k.
Knew the return was going to be tough with lack of training over the past week and with the busier then normal crowd around the Passenger Terminal due to Fashion week that saw Sammy nearly run into the post twice as his attention was elsewhere (don't tell his wife).... It was at this point he must have grown another leg as he gaped me by about 10 metres as my pace started to drop off. Struggled again around Mrs Macs and had nothing on the hills and got back to the stone gates some 52 seconds over the same 20 minute period.  (Ave 3.46 per/k)
All up 11.2ks for the session and happy enough , hopefully i will make the start line for Sunday now although in truth wont be expecting to much, but hoping another couple of weeks will see me somewhat stronger come the Sydney Half.

No sign of any Green Men out there today, but have heard they are doing there secret training on Bellevue Hill early mornings. They are still doing there dirty tactics trying to coax everyone into there team, Latest rumour is they have now approached Eamonn Coghlan and Sonia O'Sullivan ........unreal
We have been very upfront with our team even though many are still under an injury cloud , but looking like it will be (in no particular order)
Toon Tommy Highnam
Eagle Sammy Aggerdo
Dickie Green
'B Grade' Binfield
Heyden
Timmy
Flying Fats
Jonny Worsick

Lets see what the Irish lads can do to match that ?????

Cheers
