Psycho Phetiam Goes Balistic at Cook & Phillip.

New home today for our swim set now the A.B.C Pool is closed for the winter time so it was down to the indoor Cook & Phillip that is nearby.
Smaller crowd again with only Elan, Walker, MrAce, new guy Dave, Champ and a return of Christian Ellis. with Enda also making an appearance half way through.
After a 400 warm up the set for the day was 1 x 300, 10 x 100s and 3 x 200s - Well once the set was called it seemed to spark up the normally very mild mannered Champ who gave out a serve to work colleague Pete Walker about the planned session and in particular the amount of 100s on the cards, he then continued his blast about how busy the pool was, i couldn't believe it, and i thought it was Angry man Clyde at one point who had joined us.
Anyway worked through the set, and found it tough enough with the times down to normal as its a far slower pool then the A.B.C, was happy enough to share the lead duties with MrAce, Dave, and Christian whilst not sure why Enda was there as he did bugger all. In fact, it lead to another blow up from Psycho Champ who told Enda he was too slow and jumped up a spot in the lane and relegated our Irish friend to bring up the rear in the lane.
Times were- 5.09, 1.33, 1.37, 1.38, 1.36, 1.37, 1.35, 1.35, 1.33, 1.37, 1.36, 3.14, 3.18, 3.16
Good session in the end, although i steered clear of Champ once out of the pool and just glad I'm not working with him at Telstra later today - I fear he could explode at some point and i don't want to be around when he does.
Not really a big fan of the pool to be honest as i don't find it the cleanest pool around, and to be honest i think I'd be safer drinking the water in Mumbai. Might venture back to Ian Thorpe pool for the Friday session.

Back out tomorrow for the run set although may do my own thing in Centennial early instead of going into the city for the 45 minute tempo set.

Mentioned previously about Saturday's Runs of the Day but i forgot to mention one guy that also run a stormer with a 40 second PB ...............Mike Race (MrACE) clocked a 35.59 for the day - great effort
It was a pity that Andy (Skippy ) Heyden couldn't run on the weekend as many were predicting that he was in good shape and was looking for a super fast time. Now, it is me or does Skippy strike an uncanny resemblance to that of 'Where's Wally' fame , in fact i think it is him :)

Andy Hayden (centre) with family looking very much like 'Where's Wally'

Hayden in disguise
