Waterfall Bound

Out on the bike early this morning heading south down to Waterfall, met up with old mate and Clydesdale(90k Plus) Ian Depree and then met up with another group heading in the same direction so tagged on to them.
Pretty cruisy heading out and then we get the normal 100 miles an hour on the return, It was on pretty much on the whole way back until we regroup at Sutho Service Station. I reckon Ian was going faster then when he drives his State Bus - he's pretty good on the bike especially on the shorter and downhill sections. Kept it honest even from the break at Sutherland coming back through Brighton Le Sands and the Airport before getting back to the park with 90ks ticking over for the morning.
A quick shoe change and chucked the bike in the car then it was off for a 10k run that consisted of 2 x 5k loops that i have worked out. I could have easily wrapped it up there and then and gone for coffee but with 3 big weeks ahead of races that wasn't an option.
Settled for the first loop and crossed in 21.00 (4.12s) then stopped to take some drink aboard before trying to pick it up on the 2nd. Was feeling surprisingly good up till about the last kay then i had to dig deep to hold the required pace. 20.21 to finish off so 41.22 all up averaging approx 4.09s for the day.
Met Captain Josh from the BRATS as i was finishing who then reminded me about our bet we have for next weeks BRAT race at Heffron ( he must be confident), Mind you i would be as well when he will be 4 mins out the water before me, swimming like a fish doing about 10mins for the 750 metres. His Bike is as strong if not stronger then mine as well so it looks like i will need a big effort to try to chase his down.
All up pretty happy with the days training and how it is tipping along at the moment, lets just hope it continues over the next month or so.
Will probably take a rest day tomorrow, although i should go in and do the lunchtime swim with the boys.

Huge Congrats to ALL the HuRTS boys that raced a big weekend of races today - Melbourne Marathon was on and 'Run of the Day' without a doubt goes to Tony Fats on his 2.33 run (think it may knock Tom's PB off?), and will surely put him in the reckoning for some bling at the seasons presentation? Who knows....Tony may even invite us around to his house now to try his Home Brew ? :)

It seems that Melbourne is fast becoming the BEST Marathon to do in Australia these days with some super fast times coming out over the past 2 years.
Kona was also on today with Pete Jacobs taking out the gruelling event over there in the Lava fields, Unfortunately it didn't go the way he wanted for our man Champagne Charlie who was forced out after about 10ks on the run? Will have to find out what happened there?
.....Last but no means least, there was a Half Marathon around town as well. And who better to send out to this 'Weetbix Event' then Enda, Of course i wasn't there but he has given me a full rundown of events and how he got 3rd spot overall with his 79 minute run. Tells me that Kanser didn't show and was intimidated by him, and that a 'Young Cub' was sitting in 2nd spot trying to break 'Our Enda' only to blow himself up - again, more ks needed for that lad i say :)

Just out now for an afternoon of well earned beers up at the local
Cheers
