Buddha is Back.

Another swim to finish the week off although no sign of swim training partner
 Mikey when he pulled the pin citing that he had done his lot for the week.
Rode into town and after a 400 warm up was met with a good crew, that included in my lane Brendan, MrAce, Champ and new girl Julia (Enda's work mate), in the faster lane i saw Walker, Ronnie (Biggs) , Irish Kev, Taffy James,  A welcome return of Buddha (?) ,Todd  and we transferred Angus to the faster lane (after getting to quick for us)
Set was 5 x 200s & 10 x 100s
All did our equal share of leading the lane today and every 200 was pretty much the same pace, with new girl Julia very impressive even managing to do 'Tumble Turns' can you believe, making us all look even worse then we really are, and we'll have to have a word if she carries on that caper :). Worked the 200s all around 3.20 pace or under and held all the 100s to 1.38s or below.
2.5ks done for the day - and happy again with how it went.

Guess Who - Did you guess who the Buddha was? And NO its not Warrior Charlie or even Mr Angry :)
  Clue - One of HuRTS fastest guys in years gone by, and loves a party or two?  you might not guess from the photo i took of him on his bike to the pool but answer will be at the end of today's blog.

Big weekend of sport ahead with the BIG one Wales vs England for the Championship in the 6 Nations, and England's chance to win the Slam that i have spoken about before,  for the first time in over 10 years.

Was talking to Taffy James at the pool today and he's confident and even wagered a little bet on the outcome of the match. Loser has to do the Biathlon in a skirt, wear the winners jersey in the pub for the drinks and also buy the first 4 rounds ..........So please England , don't be letting me down on this one :)

Expect a close game and we need to improve big time from last week to win on there home ground,

Timmy's Tip - England by 6

Also today is my old mate and training partner Richie Palmer's birthday - Still going as strong as ever and still training the house down.  Which makes me wonder 'Will i ever beat him again?

Happy Birthday Mate, have a good one.

Have a good weekend all,

Train well and stay safe

Cheers

Oh, If you didn't guess Buddha?  Here is the answer :)

Enjoy
