45 minute session this one that sees us do 60 secs on then 30 easy turning at the 22.30 mark , at the front today was Macca, Bartles, J-Fen and Fats and i was second group that included Slim Sam, Jamie, and the return of T.Bell after his record 17 marathons in 9 days around the world.
In all the excitement at the start watching the Two Mikeys (Race and Conway) looking for each other to hold hands for the run i forgot to start my GPS. Was running OK going out and managed to get past the turnoff for Barangaroo under the next bridge about 6ks, knew then the turn for home was going to be tough and Slim Sammy put the foot down straight away, must have exchanged places about 6-7 times even before hitting the Opera House then catching M.C and his crew. thought Sam had gotten away and broke me just before Mrs Macs but hung in and was surprised by the time we come to ABC Pool he wasn't there. Tried to stay strong for the last 5 minutes and in a rarity even managed to get home with 35 seconds in credit averaging 3.39s for the way back - helped in the last 50 metres by the kind works from Charlie who broke sweat for the final 30 seconds of the session :)
Very happy with that, especially after racing on Sunday, and hopefully i can keep improving now leading up to the Half next Sunday?
Well those regular readers will have noticed some hard words coming in from a certain party,over some supposed comments i made on the blog? (what i have no idea to be honest)... anyway, i respect any ones right to reply, after all this blog is all about Trash and Tales???..........But what i will not have is ANY direct personal ABUSE or BAD LANGUAGE, and any such will just be deleted. I have not heard such remarks as what was posted since 2010 at the Gold Coast when i run past Enda at the 19k mark :)
This blog is all about BANTER and if any ' Young Cub' can not relate to that - Easy.......Don't read it ...Simple.
Anyway gripe over, lets move on........ On a more pleasant nature forgot to mention HUGE congrats yesterday to HuRTS girl Sonya on her latest Ironman effort up at Port Maquarie who was aiming for a sub 12 hour time and stormed home in a super hot time of 11.16.
Well done Sonya.
And finally, i thought everyone in Sydney had seen the Young Enda photo that i have posted many times ....but alas not, a fellow Irishman i gave a lift to on Sunday has not seen it appears? So just for him, here you go :)
Latest of the lad himself, last seen in a drunken state in Melbourne in the early hours of the morning, and surprise surprise .... He's got a cold again :)
Cheers
"Broke a sweat in the last 30s" you are quite correct Timmy.
ReplyDeleteAgree that bad language is a big no no and you are well within your rights to delete it. It is your blog afterall. I can only think that your smiley faces dont appear as such in your posts.
I think you've gone Soft Timmy. I would have no comments left from Blue Dogs Mum if I deleted all the one's with swear words in them.
ReplyDeleteTimmy, that old photo again, where would you be without it...? Its lucky noone reads this blog as they would be bored senseless seeing it again!
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way seeing as you are running so well (faster than I had done for 2 years over 10km at the weekend) why won't you accept my $50 bet off SCRATCH for the weekend??? After all I spent the weekend smoking and drinking in Melbourne...
Thanks Charlie, it was an effort to catch you.
ReplyDeleteEnda, what have i told you about smoking those 'Funny cigarettes'? your Mommy (maw-hir) wil not be happy with you to hear that.
Best you save your $50 as i think you will be shelling enough out on the day as it is, care of your Irish mates post Half get together.
Re; the photo - as long as the masses request it, i will only be to happy to keep posting :)
