3k Swim .......With Hangover

The best cure for a hangover i always say is a dip in the water and so it proved today as i made my way back to Vic on the Park Pool this morning following a massive evening lats night care of the 'Birthday Bash' for Highnam, High & Ven Beek at the Cargo Bar.
Felt bloody awful first up but was eager to knock out the 3rd swim of the week to finish off, Good set of guys down there again as they did there 7k session. Surprisingly i was moving OK once in the water as i worked the black line. Seemed to be there forever mind you and was even forced out the water twice for a toilet break (must have taken about 8 litres on board) Happy to report 3ks down in all making it 7.8 for the week - My God i must be ill :)
Tough week with no running again , but on the positive side it does mean i get out and do more on the bike and in the water which is what i really do need to do before the big race on the 26th November. Just hoping the calf doesn't keep me out for to long

Best of luck this weekend to two of the HuRTS boys, Former #1 Andrew Tucks is away on another of his 100k trail walks in Switzerland and needs a good performance if he's to stand any chance of silverware come the HuRTS presentation in December.
And over in Viva Las Vegas old mate Richie Palmer is going around in 40 degree heat for the triathlon - He's done about 62 hours a week for the past 19 weeks training for this event so he's in good shape
Good Luck


As mentioned earlier i was at the Cargo Bar last night - Very good crowd there, but notable absences were Kanser, who was on some Gangster & Ho Down out at Homebush (don't ask??), Slim Sammy Agnew was another no show as he has stated he is not leaving the house until his beloved Crystal Palace win a game of footy - So we wont be seeing him around till Aprl next year. Mikey Conway couldn't afford to pay his 14 year old babysitter the $7 per hour going rate so was forced to stay at home and look after his kids for the evening much to Terence Bells displeasure.
I had a good old chat with Macca Mc, English Paul, and Kenny Rogers lookalike J- Fen ( complete with new beard) and also good to see Charlie, MrAce, and Billy Batt in attendance. The girls were out in force as well - plying me with far too much alcohol care of the these Goldfish Bowl drinks they were getting. It was some form of 'Punch' drink, don't ask me what was in it? But it certainly made for wobbly legs once i hit the dance floor.
The most shameless point of the evening came again when Enda meet up with Birthday boy Richie High, it was embarrassing watching the two of them, so much so that Lovely Lisa (L.L) even gave them $49 to go to the local 'Formula 1 Hotel.
I had a good chat with Fats to finish off the evening, Top bloke Fats is although i suspect he'd had one too many as he was inviting me over to his house to sample his Home Brew and wouldn't shut up about his cooking skills and all his cake recipes he has :)
Good night had as usual with the team and now look forward to the next big one - the HuRTS presentation in December
