HuRTS 4 x 10 minute Efforts

Despite many of us running the SMH Half a little over 48 hours  back there was a big crowd in attendance for the HuRTS 4 x 10 min efforts today. Loads of tired legs out there though in truth so many decided to back right off or were just out for a trot.
With this in mind i found myself up the front end with J-Fen, Kanser and Terrence for the first rep, pace felt OK and kicked it down on the return to get back in 9.05
The 3rd rep was faster and was joined by the strong Jamie who carried my up the hills, and once i had done the 3rd rep i knew i was pretty much home. run on strong on the 4th catching Tom and Pete Walker who put a little burst in to keep me honest for the final couple of minutes.
Rep Times and Distances
2.72 ks average    3.44 pace
back on 9.05 ave  3.24
2.75 average        3.41
back in 9.30  ave 3.29
Had a watch malfunction on the 4th rep as well, with the faulty pin going AWOL - that saw me ending up carrying it home but still losing the pin on the way.

Happy to get through that one - especially when i even had doubts about going into town today. Will have to back up in the morning now with Roger for the regular Brick session - OMG i can feel the pain already.

Also in all the excitement the other day i forgot to mention a couple of outstanding runs over the weekend
both the HuRTS #1s didn't let us down with Laura storming her way to a PB in the Half with an 80 minute run whilst Tucks went a bit further and did 100ks (walking for about 73) to grab himself 3rd spot overall in the North Face event.
Also Adam Conquest (HuRTs very own Lance Armstrong on the bike ) finished 2nd in a big sprint distance tri up in Port Stephens.

A few Photos from Sunday.

POD and Enda, Enda did have a batch of we smashed the English and Timmy but was forced to return them and get an alternative shirt made up - At least he beat someone :)
