McKay Oval 6 x 1k Reps off 5 minutes

Went with my own session today rather then go into the city with the boys as i figured that 1k reps were better suited with upcoming races then the tempo (that i hate anyway) that was on the HuRTS program.
Legs were still a little tight before the start doing a 6k warm up and wasn't really in the right frame of mind to do this one solo but knew that i needed to get it done,
Started off and was travelling OK without actually feeling as if i was working flat stick, and hit the cone in 3.22, with a little over 90 second break, the next couple of reps were identical and if yesterday i was Mr Leech then today i was Mr Consistent as every rep was around the same times. Felt as if i was running out of steam on the 5th but dug deep knowing i only had one more to get through after that.
Rep times were ; 3.22, 3.22, 3.22, 3.22, 3.23, 3.21
Was reading everyone slightly longer then the 1k so very happy with that effort and dare i say it but i think i can see 'Light at the End of the Tunnel'

A glorious morning down at the park and it was made even better nearing the finish when i saw a group of young kids getting set for a cricket match on the oval. It was an under 15s State Selection trial game and who should be standing right at the end of the 1k rep where i was finishing but none other then my sporting hero (well Aussie anyway)  Steve Waugh who was down to keep an eye on his young son.
Had a brief chat with him about the game and even asked him how the Aussies will go against the Proteas this summer. Great bloke and just wished I'd have had my trusty camera on deck to have a snap with him.
There's not many Aussie sportsman (or women) that i look up to - But Waugh is one that i have always enjoyed watching (even if he did terrorise us for years) and if there was ever a batsman you would put your house on to dig in and stay at the crease it was this guy.

Urgent Help Needed. (this is NO joke)
One of our HuRTS colleagues has sent me the following request - if anyone can help out then PLEASE PLEASE do so and reply direct to Clyde ,aka Mr Angry, aka Marshmallow Man aka Rozza, aka 'I Love Richie McGaw and want his babies'.


Dear Timmy, can you please ask around or even put  a request out for me on the Trash Blog.
Serious question. Does anyone have a skin suit I can borrow for the Calga TT on Sunday? Must have large arse area.
yours faithfully
Clyde Rozza.




Update. Happy to report that one of our team came to the rescue and Clyde is now a happy man as you can see in the below pic.........many thanks to Warrior Charlie in helping out :)
