HuRT 10 x 3 Minute Efforts

A beautiful spring day in town as i returned to the HuRTS fold for the first session back post injury, This session always seems to bring the crowd and today was no exception with all the usual crew out although noticeable absentees were Highnam, High and Slim Sammy Agnew, On the plus side it was good to see Bartles back out there as it was to see former #1 Tucks back running after his 100k walk overseas recently. Let the front guys go on the first rep and tucked in with MrAce and Adam Conquest on the first rep, with no GPS anymore i asked MrAce what the pace was and was surprised to hear him say 3.30s, got back with a few seconds to spare and then basically was getting to the same spot on each one after that. Even had Elvis working off us for the remaining 8 (when did he get fast - last time i saw him racing Tommy Highnam was making a balls up of the pacing duties as he tried to break 40 mins), also hot on my tail was Bill Batt who looked as if he was moving OK.
Decided even before the start today that i was only going to do 10 - and i think it worked pretty well, the calf feels fine so it looks like i have made first base.

A milestone was achieved out there today with Irish lads Kanser and Stankard both completing 10 sets for the first time ever, ( Enda's previous PB was 7.5),  He did look a bit pale though at the end as he and Kane were pushing the final rep, and don't be surprised to hear him come out with another ailment tomorrow. He actually started telling me about his recent woes on the 3rd rep and was still going at the conclusion of the 7th.

Had a chat with Mikey on the way back to the office , who gave me the rundown of events from Sunday at 'The House of Kane's - A good time was had by all accounts although Mikey did say to me
"Timmy, you weren't wrong about it being an Aldi House, there was the Aldi BBQ, Aldi outdoor setting, Aldi Sausages, Aldi Sauce , and was even serving us Aldi $1.99 bottles of wine - it was great and now i know where i can go to save some money when i am asked to go buy a bottle of plonk for the boys"


Cheers
