Taper Time.

Thursday, Just a cruise around the park for an easy 8ks with clients to turn the legs over before Sunday, saw Paul Liam O'Doherty aka  PLOD getting in his final prep work around McKay as well - knocking out some sub 3 min ks, brief chat with him as he explained he was out to smash Enda and was just heading to the printers shop to get his latest design t/shirt ready :)
I was then off for a massage to help those legs recover before returning home to find about 100 emails again from the 'Sparks' Clan (Enda and Company) talking there TRASH talk :)

The Games have continued to excite me with more GOLDS coming our way overnight - Care of our Boxers and Taekwondo Girls , Good old Babyface Nicola Adams wins our first ever then a few hours later BRIT Katie Taylor repeats the dose - Well done girls, (Even Enda was up at all hours cheering her on )
One of the best races of the games was in the Mens 800m Final - with David Rudisha blitzing the field to record a New World Record in 1.40:91 Unbelievable. Did make me laugh though when the commentator has just said about the winner of the 800,"lovely story he was trained by an Irish Priest",......FFS ever likely he could run !!! :)

Just been in to the Town Hall to pick up a few things for the City to Surf , saw a big photo on the Wall with many familiar faces from last years race ( i presume ) ...it was like Spot the HuRTS crew, Even my Ugly bonce gets on there.
Check it Out;
Mikey Conway ( centre ), Me front with Striders singlet on the wall of SHAME :)


PLOD on his final sub 3 minute ks at McKay Oval


The Muppet's - POD and Enda, who will be wearing the bragging rights after Sunday ?

Will be back on later to give ALL times and betting ODDS for Sunday's big event

Cheers

  1. What everyone is asking Timmy is who is going to win the big clash of the day between you and POD....Ireland's finest against England's finest with both countries riding high following recent olympic glory!

    I can only watch from afar given my current fitness but it will be too close to call....

    This is almost as exciting as the old Collins Vs Eubank clashes of old....

    My monies on POD!
