Easy day today doing nothing except go to the Acupuncture place in Bondi and field calls and drunken texts from the Irish lads all night. Plod, sorry i mean POD was the latest sending all sorts whilst he was up Kings Cross last night making no sense whatsoever (except he was asking ME to give HIM 4 mins start on Sunday)
Was going to give a run down on every ones time and predictions but after reading a fellow 'B Grade' blog i am going to follow his lead and not predict and just 'let the running do the talking' (fair dinkum - this guy is far to serious) :)
What i will say though is that the Irish will be very hard to beat with ALL the team firing at the right time and i cant' see any of them running over 78 minutes for the 21ks. The whole lot of them have come out with some sort of excuse over the past week, and trying to change the goalposts in order to gain victory, the latest being Enda wanting to actually run the race on his X- Box
Anyway it will all be sorted come 7.45am on Sunday , and within 80 minutes one camp will be celebrating. Besides the much sought after FREE drinks for the winners we are actually playing for the inaugural ' (Winston) Churchill'/ (Bobby) Sands'Trophy that the winners get to keep for 12 months
On a serious note and joking aside - i wish ALL the HuRTS boys the best of luck on Sunday, everyone seems to be travelling well at training and with the right conditions on a flattish course i expect to see some quick times.............Lets just hope the English Boys have marginally quicker then there counterparts :)
Will be out on Saturday evening with Richie Palmer for our pre race pasty dinner around Surry Hills, and no doubt discuss our final race tactics especially if Davie Kane tags along.
Good Luck
Cheers
Love the trophy mate. Makes the battle even more enticing.
