Welcome Back.

After a fortnight of no run training which has seen no blogging much to Angry Clyde and Enda's disappointment i have just got lazy as the hammy injury just got the better of me that resulted in me been forced to take time out.
Despite no running i have (to a small degree) been trying to keep it ticking over on the new bike and even turning the arms over in the pool. Nothing serious but surely better then doing nothing at all?, I even ventured out with the Colonial Convicts ( Tuesday Centennial Park Cyclist) that is PLOD, Clyde, JC, Champaign Charlie, Eoin and a few others (no sign of Enda mind?) worked my ar$e off for about a lap and a half trying to sit with the guys only to be abused by Clyde (surprise surprise) for not doing any work - wouldn't mind but i was sitting on 48ks per/hour at the time - Go figure. things must not have been to bad mind as i was then invited to join the lads for a coffee - although PLOD only agreed to 'shout' me one if i give him special mention on the blog and to remind everyone that he is still 'Irelands #1 Triathlete :)
A few swims also as i have been trying to knock out 2ks on each visit, still bloody ugly but hopefully by the time the Thailand Tri comes around again on November 25th it will have improved slightly.
Will start back running tomorrow, hammy feels OK after a fortnights rest with the help of massages and Acupuncture so will test it out, might be a bit soon to rejoin the HuRTS team at the moment but hope to get back soon.
It seems a little quiet lately around the running traps, although the big news of the weekend came with Mikey Conway targeting another shot at sub 35 mins for a record 218th time, By all accounts all was going well for MC until 34.59 then he realised that the course was perhaps 100mtres to long as he then laboured another 55 seconds to cover the extra distance to cross in 35.55 ?? He has not been so angry since been made to go the bar to shout a round in 2006 and has since called for a full course re measurement :)

If the running has been quiet of late the social side has been running overtime with the "Trash' being inundated with scandal, photos and yet more shame for the HuRTS boys. Personally i was at a BRAT party on Saturday night with a theme 'Shock your Parents' - Fortunately i was due to go as an Irishman but when Enda didn't deliver i thanked my lucky stars that wouldn't cause my folks further embarrassment.
One photo that was snapped and may surprise many is that of old party boy himself 'Champaign' Charlie Low. Many wouldn't know but after returning home for the recent Olympics he was gifted a new addition after his trip 12 months prior.

....... And maybe Mummy, getting the young one started early :)

To save any embarrassment and to keep his reputation i shall not reveal what Marshmallow Man Clyde went as although i was slightly worried when his boyfriend Kroney rocked up in a frilly nightgown with Bra and Pants for all to see ?????


Argh...... good to be back
Cheers
