Last time i did this was way back in November last year when i put Enda to the sword whilst he scooted around the park on his motorised buggy, I knew i wasn't anywhere in that shape and even after two laps i knew i would struggle. Its a 6 x 7k loops of the park that goes up by York St Gates and up Woollarha Hill each time to make it that much harder at the end of each lap.
The first two laps were identical in time before losing it on the 3rd, then recording the fastest on the 4th, and then trying to hold on for the remaining two. Knew i was struggling but just tried to get through it best i could,
Overall time was 70.02 for 41.25ks average pace 35 ks per/hour,
Lap times - 11.38, 11.38, 11.45, 11.25, 11.47, 11.46
Nearly 5 minutes down on last November with Enda, here's how it was reported back then;

Buggered at the end , but delighted to get through it and will do more of these kind of sessions over the next couple of months in order to get stronger, 5 minutes seems a million miles off though at the moment compared to last November.
Took myself up to Bondi after for another Acupuncture session after, feels good after but will still take time out. POD has given me a guy to check out who may be able to help ( even worked wonders for Enda's injuries in the past apparently).
Talking of our Irish mates, i saw them out on there self acclaimed Wednesday Hardman Run with J.C, Clyde and Clyde's Mrs - Kroney trying to keep up with Geordie Lass Sian.
Another Guess Who from the files.
Clue, Loves a Burger or two, Big Lance Fan and does have a tendency to fire up on occasions, and does talk with a funny accent?
The Gay Red Shoes may give it away :)
Yesterdays Guess Who - It was Young Eoin , and no Enda you don't get a prize despite texting me 85 times with the correct answer :)
Back in the pool tomorrow, before getting all set for the big 40th of the Year in the evening
Cheers
Looks like your photo-taking skills were severely compromised on that day Timmy... if I remember correctly you'd had 4 of the Irish victory beers and were falling around the place at this stage. it was also shortly before you lost your bag! I guess some people can't handle their beers!
ReplyDelete4 Bottles of Irish Pish you mean, i actually took a bottle home with me and used it as paint stripper the next day it was that bad.
ReplyDeletePlus with a Noggin like this guy has its probably best i did cut it off.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder they want speed humps in centennial park if you guys break the 30k speed limit. BTW The marathon is 42.195k you must have used a Stoke GPS on your bike to measure it.
ReplyDeleteYoung Timmy a cracking ride mate!
ReplyDeletePost the Garmin link so we can see the elevation gain.
My calves always struggle on return from a lay off, take at least another week off, do lots of self massage and don't do intervals on your first session Back!
Is the 'Guess Who' Enda by any chance?
Will do Master, although i may have to get the 'Trash Techno's' (Kanser) to download for me.
ReplyDeleteWill take note of your advice, and NO it is NOT Enda, (this guy is about 15ks heavier ) :)
Marshmallow Man Clyde?
