With Kanser running late (again) and a little short on time we curtailed our first 6k loop by 2ks and picked the HuRTS/Hardmen up at the 2k mark and run with them, Enda ,The Leech (Eoin) and J.C in tow the pace was on from the start and we covered the remaining 4ks at 4.14 pace and that included the Woollarha Hill. The pace was that sharp even the Leech failed to hang on to us, although it still wasn't enough to stop Enda in his tracks talking sh!te, and continually baiting Kanser on what he is going to do to him come Berlin.
With the Hardmen dropping out, Kanser and I continued with another loop at a more sedate pace of 4.29 per/k, and as he then continued on to work i stayed and did another flat loop that brought up just under 15ks for the morning - averaging 4.26 overall.
Felt surprisingly good today even after yesterdays tough session and will also get out for the original Hickson Road 1.2k reps tomorrow.
Some sad news came out of yesterday's session and that was Slim Sammy Agnew's injury was worse then first thought - After a trip to Manly Hospital it was revelled that he has a broken foot and will be out of action for up to 8 weeks. Not good at all, but knowing Sammy he will be back firing on all cylinders and be more then ready by the time Berlin comes around to kick all our @r$es in September.
Big lose for the English team for the upcoming Churchill/Sands Cup in May, but after an emergency meeting with the team we have banded together and promised to WIN the Cup again and dedicate it to Slim Sammy ... and make sure he gets to the celebratory drinks post race:)
Here's to a Speedy Recovery mate.
Talk is slowly turning around to 6ft Track as well as its only about 4-5 weeks away, and at the weekend i heard TRASH talk of the highest quality that saw Mild Man Macca almost choke on his Choc Chip Cookie on Saturday morning when some 'C grader' told him he was going to spank his @r$e over the trails?........... Yeah Right!
Anyway my top 3 tips /bets for the big adventure race are as follows,
1. Chairman Tommy H to beat Terence Bells P.B ( easily)
2 MaccaMcClarnon to beat our Robert DeNiro ( Taxi Man) by 10 minutes or more
3. Kanser to break 4hrs
Nothing to left of field there i don't think, but go for the treble - you wont win a fortune but as my old dad used to say to me 'A short price winner is better then a long priced LOSER :)
Cheers
Taxi Man has gone crazy! Macca to run sub 4 hours. Taxi Man 4:15 at best. Tom should run 3:35 but is scared to flog himself.
ReplyDeleteMacca to run sub 4hrs - 100%, De Niro 4.25 if you ask me?, and lets hope Tom Doesn't get too carried away out there and flog himself to much or else it could get messy the last 8 ks.
ReplyDelete.... and Kanser to squeeze in under 4hrs ?
Are you running Charlie? ........ Put you in for 5hrs if so, Good luck :)
I said nothing of the sort. Somebody else is making this sh1t up. Only way I'll beat Macca is if he gets carried down stream at Coxes river. Will easily beat Timmy though. 4:15 is the target.
ReplyDeleteNo Timmy,
ReplyDeleteI cant run to answer the phone. Likely to spend the next couple of months drinking beer with Sam and feeling sorry for ourselves
