HuRTS 45 minute Tempo.

Cycled into the city to meet Mikey Conway to leave the bike at his work before the easy jog over to the Stone Gates meeting the normal crew and delinquents that included Tom, Tucks, T.B, R.High, Cake Maker Fats, Mikey, Enda making a rare appearance, Hardman J.C,  and even the return of Warrior Charlie, Mermaid Emma was also there but was keeping her head down after the latest allegations, but more on that later.
Set off and settled nicely with Richie High working around the 3.40 pace hitting the Opera House Gates in 10.30, felt OK and was happy to stay with him until the 22.30 turnaround - Hit just on 6ks for the turn and was very surprised when i saw M.C and his little 'Band of Merry Men' not that far back. Stayed with Rich until the Passenger Terminal when he just opened up a gap. He offered some encouragement to dig deep and tag on the back of M.Cs group but i didn't quiet have it, Struggled coming around the O.H as first Bartles and then T.Bell came flying by,and then an even faster 'Cake Man'.  Managed to lift a little as i then picked of a few people coming past the pool and just tried to hang in to get back up to the Stone Gates. Failed miserably in getting back under 45 minutes (couldn't even catch Enda) and stopped the watch in 45.43. Covered over 12ks for the day so not a bad little hit out although would have liked to have finished stronger, Still hopefully things are getting better with each session that passes.
Interesting point in that i was 43 seconds over and neither HuRTS #1 or Tucks came past me on the return so not sure what happened to them out there today?

Will be out in the morning for the Wednesday Brick session in the park and then back to Rushcutters on Thursday for the speedy 400m session.


On the social side, i called around to the 'House of Kanes' last night for a Cuppa before he departs for YET another holiday ( he has more hols then Conway), I was asking him all about the Benny St night, Told me what a huge success it was although he seemed very reluctant to discuss the cheating allegations that Tom revealed last week ..Shock, Scandal... http://pommytom.blogspot.com.au/ that deemed clean skins Mermaid and J-Fen were dealing in underhand tactics.
Personally i think that's one of the reasons Kanser's getting away - to diffuse the situation and let things cool down abit as Mikey is on the warpath for a refund.
Kanser did offer me something i must share with the Trash readers mind you - He did give me a copy of Enda's answer sheet from last Tuesday evening to the questions asked on the night. This is Fair Dinkum folks, although i do suspect PLOD did contribute to some of the answers given. :)

Enda's Answer Sheet from the Benny St night last week :)

Tomorrow, Whats happened to HuRTS #1 Girl Laura, My spies send me her latest T.V series venture coming in from the 'Shire'..... you wont believe what her latest project is.

Cheers
