The Leech

No, the title of today's blog has nothing to do with Eoin Reville who is affectionately known to the HuRTS crew as the Leech but more myself today as i meandered down to the A.B.C Pool for what i thought was going to be a recovery swim.
Should have known it was going to be anything but when i saw the likes of 'On Fire Walker, Richie High and the Mermaid Emma in attendance. Did a few easy warm up laps before the guys arrived and then Pete tells us the session that would consist of more 1s and 200 reps. With Mermaid leading the lane and Pete following i just tried to hang on to Rich's feet for every rep, and when Pete called for a hard 200 there was no way i was going to lose the leash that i had on him. touched out the 200 in 3.11 (fastest ever for me) and was ready to sit and bask in the sun after that happy with the days work. Unfortunately the guys demanded another 5 x 200 after that so was forced to delay the sunshine for a little longer.
2ks all up for the day, and again happy with that especially on the back of yesterdays race, Will get back out for a run session tomorrow, not sure if I'll join the HuRTS boys or just knock out some 1k reps in the park instead at this stage?
No sign of Enda again at the pool today - Came out with YET another excuse not to swim that saw even the very meek and mild Pete Walker to give him a serve. Still it was probably just as well he wasn't there to see how close i was to Richie all day in the pool trying to stay on his feet - he may just been just a touch jealous :)

Cheers
