HuRTs 4 x 2ks Reps

Feeling very tired with the effects of two rather tough days training and even doing 15ks at 5 min pace with clients this morning. I made my way into town for yet another alternative session selected by the boys for the 4 x 2k reps. Talk was Bartles, Fats, MaccaMc, and J-Fen were going to be there swayed my decision over the Rushcutters Pyramid that was also on.
Decent enough crowd to begin, with MC, Mermaid, the original 'Hardman' J.C, Charlie, Christian and Tom after his sickness and many others.
No sign of Bartles, Fats or even Macca that meant i was promoted up the batting order and was all of a sudden in group 1 (that's a first) - Settled behind J-Fen and Tom on the first rep knowing it was a little quick but didn't want to be caught in 'no mans land' turned into Shelley St at the 2ks in 6.46 and even held the 2nd rep to the same pace.
Was really feeling it after that and when J-Fen and Jason gaped me early on the 3rd i knew i was goneski for the day and was in survival mode. Only managed to get through the 4th as i knew it was the last for the day, it didn't help much in the fact ALL of us were pretty much running solo for each rep.
Times were;
6.46, 6.46, 6.55, 7.04
 Mikey Conway is starting to look good again and held every rep on about 7.06, so will look forward to resuming our races in June, and J-Fen was flying knocking them all out around the 6.31 mark (?)
Good to see Charlie back again to, although could have done without his comment to me that " J-Fen looked like he was in cruise mode, Jason looked like he was starting to work, and you Timmy...Well you looked like you were at deaths door"...... thanks mate, Wouldn't mind but he said that to me before we even STARTED the set :)

Two ks warm up to get there followed by a good 3 ks cool down with J-Fen back around the gardens and Mrs Macs made it a 13ks session for me. I then had to return to Centennial for my final run class, and another 6ks done (thank God the client was new and very slow pace, or else i wouldn't have kept up )
Big old day on the ks - roughly about 34 all up - was going to get down and spy (run) with the Irish lads in the morning, but as i have a morning off work i may rest up and just head down to the pool for a recovery swim.

Had Kanser on the phone constantly of late, he's been wanting to have a bet with me on the Half and been offering 2.30 mins start, but after reading the blog lately and hearing today's times he has only agreed to give me 1.45 ..................God, i am being ripped of again it seems.
No sign  of Enda at class, but i am hearing he is interstate yet again and got Irish Team Captain POD worried about his drunken exploits after his Melbourne trip on the weekend, Master Sweeney has just snapped this photo for me of our friend up in Brisbane this time........ this guy is out of control :)


Enda after another big night on the town in BrisVegas.

Cheers
