Yet another cycle into town to start the week with the Monday Swim team and after yesterdays reality check when i thought i was swimming well only to then getting hammered by Angry Man Clyde (who by his own admission is only an average swimmer) i knew that i still have loads of work to do in the pool.
Good show once more to begin the week with Enda, Brendan and MrAce In my lane but no sign of E.J today after her mighty performance on Friday , with Poor Todd never even having to chance to get wet before we flicked him over to the nearby fast lane that had P.Walker, Irish Kev, Champagne Charlie and a few others.
After a 400 warm up the set was 6 x 200, and 6 x 100s with a few technique drills in the middle Brendan and MrAce led the first few between them before i knocked out a rather sharpish 5th set, Times were kept honest as well for the 100s as we did our share in leading the lane except for Enda who once again did Sweet F.A
Times were
200s 3.09, 3.14, 3.20, 3.18, 3.10, 3.22
100s 1.29, 1.31, 1.32, 1.37, 1.36, 1.34
2.3ks in total
will try to get down for the 2 x 20 min session tomorrow even if its not one of my preferred sessions.
Apology. In all the excitement of the weekend i forgot to mention what was possibly the 'Timmy Run of the Day' down in Canberra.
Step up to the plate ....Young Laura James with her amazing 80.50mins for 3rd place in the ladies race showing she is getting back to her best after her injury that kept her out for the second half of last year.
Glad i am not running against her at the moment, and reckon i will need at least 4 minutes to get within her come the Half in May ?
Also special mention to Razor Wareham on his creditable 2.49 in the Marathon.
Further afield over in Amsterdam for the Marathon long time reader and lurker Paul Superflake Bruning has recorded a 3.19 time - not really what he was looking for no doubt as he is normally a 3 hour marathoner . Might be time to give Kanser a call and get a few tips and a bit of direction from him mate? (plus you might even get the invite for a bit of Irish Breaky?)
Cheers
3:16 Timmy. BTW I ran faster at Six Foot than young Kanser. Had stomach pains after half way. Probably explains having to sit on the toilet half dozen times before the race. Usual is 2 if that. So maybe the dodgy pasta party did it to me? Check with Enda if that is a good excuse?
ReplyDeleteThanks Flake for your update - more info then i needed to know and the run time would have been more then enough.
ReplyDelete3.16 = Average run and you will be giving Enda a run for his money with more excuses like you have given :)
Need not worry Kanser said his breakfast will fix you up.
