No Training

Bugger all to write about to be honest with still no running or even getting out on the bike over the past couple of days, apart from the daily commute on the roadie to get to my classes in the mornings.
Had hoped to start running this week but after the Triathlon on Sunday i knew i needed more rest time , so hopefully can begin again next Monday.
I put the word out today to the HuRTS boys (and girls) to get down to the last Biathlon next Thursday at the Boy Charlton for one final time for the season and then hit down for a few social ones post race at the Wooloomooloo Bay Hotel. Got some good numbers up for this one unlike the last that turned out to be a non event so should be a bit of fun despite my lack of training.
Hope Taffy James is a no show though to spare me running in that skirt he has lined up care of our bet in the 6 Nations on the weekend. Talking of the Taffy Lad, he drove past me on the way to work this morning and good to see he can celebrate a win with a little grace as i managed to lose with dignity - as i was to quick to take this snap on the camera as he drove past tooting his horn all the way down the busy George Street - unbelievable :)

This weeks subject for the German Gibber Part 2 is Slim Sammy Agnew.
Well it's no secret that i rate Slim Sammy Agnew for his running prowess (if not his footy team) and I'm delighted he will be on board for Berlin come September time.  He will be in top shape come then after his injury care of the Irish boys trying to take him out about 6 weeks back to prevent him lining up for the S.M.H Half team.
We all know what Slim Sammy is capable of but the point of the German Gibber is to tell you things that you may NOT know about our elite team members.
One of the reasons why Slim Sammy was asked to join our party was in part due to the fact that he is fluent in German and will come in handy in ordering the rounds once we hit the Beer Festival  as well as keeping the Irish contingent out of trouble.  Just to show what a team man he is, Slim Sammy has offered to conduct German lessons to the HuRTS boys every week on the Manly Ferry home each night with his new close buddy and Aussie Soccer Coach Holger Osieck. So close to Holger these days that Mrs Agnew is getting a little concerned as he has a picture of his mate above the telly and can be seen talking to him most nights not to mention blowing kisses to his Kraut mate  :)
Anyway for those keen - Slim Sammy & Holger will be on the 5.52pm Ferry to help out - Bis dann!, Viel Glück :)

Slim Sammy knows ALL the stars and they all want to talk to him - seen here with Chrissie Wellington.
