Just 10ks in total with a flat loop then a 6k Woollarha Hill loop with the boys that went pretty fast as the banter was on from the off. Enda must be getting fit as he even offered me a 41 second (not sure where he got the one second from) for his favorite race of the year........ J.P Morgan in two weeks time. He normally runs 18.4x and my best is 19.03 and i am nowhere near that form and will be lucky to break 20 this year, but i reluctantly took the bet once again just to keep him happy .
Straight down to the pool after for another 2ks - after doing loads of shorter stuff over the past couple of weeks i did 4 x 400s that i managed to keep all pretty consistent again, although it was tough today even having the lane to myself.
That's pretty much it now till Noosa, although i might try to get out with the boys tomorrow for a fast 400 session down at Rushcutters Oval and try to squeeze another swim in somewhere.
Anyway with just over 3 weeks before my big race of the year - Phuket Triathlon in Thailand, and i get a phone call overnight from old friends in the 'Land of Smiles' asking me if i was bringing back Enda with me this year after his brief visit last time around. They were delighted when i told them he wasn't available and wont be coming, when i asked why they said -
"Ahhh bad man Mr Timmy, you leave him for 10 minutes to teach children to read and not only are they all now bed ridden with colds, he teach them Football songs and behave very funny and have many excuses not to come to school"
It seems i can't take him anywhere, and he has even tried to pass my good name of onto the kids - Mind you the little lad on the left of the teacher does have a striking resemblance to our man from Galway ?
Check out Enda's latest venture, here; ( is that his mate Conor on the guitar as well at the end?)
The Thai Tims are legendary.... we all know Timmy that each one was named after their Daddy Tim Lindop (even the girls) who comes to visit once a year...
