Friday Swim

Back down to the Prince Alfred Pool to end the week along with MrAce who showed how tough he really is after backing up from yesterdays drowning in tow it was also good to have Pete, Chris, Angus, Champ and Cialis in attendance.
Set was 5 x 200 and 10 x 100s and with Chris, Pete and Angus flying away it was left to us to form a splinter group and share the work load, All pretty even paced as we worked the 200s with even the much improved Champ doing something that Enda hasn't managed since the summer of 2011...and that is lead the lane out for a set.
Angus came back to us for the 100s after being dropped by Coach Walker who then inflicted his own pain on us whilst he stepped up the pace for second half of the set, with me even finishing the day with a final 1.31 on the 10th rep.
Decent week again in the pool and although I need to pick up the running sessions I am keen to still try to hold the 2 swim squads per week at the same time
No sign of poor Julia today, and I heard she actually got stopped on the way when the local cops pulled her over down George Street with 17 HuRTS boys hanging on for dear life trying to get a lift to the pool after Brendan let slip that he received a lift in a nice motor last week :)

I did warn Julia about being 'nice' and offering the boys a lift to the pool....But she didn't listen.



Will try to get out and do some sort of long run over the weekend, although pulled up sore again after yesterdays session (seems to be a common theme these days), think Mikey has recovered from his latest setback and is running tomorrow, although Enda has put Centennial on notice (Flu Alert) that he is running on Sunday morning so I might even join him for an hour of comedy :)

Have good weekend, at a bit of a lose with no English footy this week to watch - but it wont be long before the Mighty Lions arrive as Brisvegas beckons on the 22nd June.

What am I saying? , No football – there’s the Champions League final at Wembley between the two German sides Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. The makings of a good game I’m predicting and should be a close affair.

Timmy’s Tip on the big one – take Bayern to win 1 – 0 with the deadly Muller getting the all important gaol.

Also it’s the biggest game of the season (money wise anyway) with the Premier play off on Bank Holiday Monday between Watford and our Slim Sammy Agnew’s Crystal Palace, to see who joins the big boys next season, I really hope the Palace boys get up for Sammy but at the risk of upsetting him I’m tipping the Hornets to get up.

Timmy’s Tip Watford 3 – Palace 1 ……….Sorry Sammy, but at least you’ll be able to talk footy with Skippy Heyden next year when QPR visit J

 
Cheers
