Rushcutters 400s, Plus Swimming.

Down to Rushcutters again today for the 10 x 400s rolling every two minutes, A big crowd in attendance although its a little embarrassing as i don't know 80% of them these days, Only knew, Bartles, Angus, Eoin, Slim Sammy, Adam TOJ,  and the return of HuRTS #1 Tucks.
Despite how tough this session is i somehow always manage to get through it OK (must be because its less then 20 minutes in duration) and sat in just behind leader Johnny Bartles on the first rep to cross in 72, pretty much held them all around the same times with Tucks battling it out with me on a few of the reps to keep me honest and to prove to himself that he is getting over his 100 kays Walkathon.
Had a few burglars for the last few (Tom would have gone of his brains had he been there) and i even kicked it down for the final rep to stay ahead of Adam Conquest so thought i must be going OK.
 Times were today;              72, 68, 70, 70, 71, 70, 70, 70,72, 66
2 weeks ago Times were -  74, 70, 71, 70, 71, 70, 70, 70, 71, 66
No sign of the Chairman Tom (who i have since heard was slapping arses elsewhere), nor Pete Walker, Kanser, Rich High or even Enda Stankard ?????
Big news of the day was the training of new 'HARDMAN' Mikey Conway, after his heroic run on Saturday bandaged up he was out today knocking out 2ks reps in 6.51s.... Very impressive, and now surely he will run sub 35 in July?
*** I only know this news as he was sending emails to everyone via email within UBS only moments after getting back to his desk***

Straight from Rushcutters it was down to the pool where i enlisted the help of old friend and fellow BRAT Ian Depree to get me through another 2ks. Now Ian is a big unit and goes OK in the water and on the bike, but told me at the start he has NOT been in the water for months now - Great i thought maybe i can sit on his feet, That proved a NO NO as he powered the first 300 in under 5 minutes.
Again my times weren't anything fast but it did feel (slightly ) better, The 5 x 300s went as follows
5.09, 5.20, 5.29, 5.36, 5.45 - Yes i know, blowing like the wind :)

Will have to return for my 2nd swim of the week sometime tomorrow, but also may see who's out and about at lunchtime as well for an easy trot?

Cheers
