Travelling in Style.

A quick cycle into the city slightly earlier then the planned swim set to pick up the race number (sorry race.. Name :) ) for Sunday before heading down to the Prince Alfred for the 3rd swim of the week. Although no sign of Coach Walker who was out running, or Champ (sick). There was a good team down with Champagne, Warwick, Angus, MrAce, Christian, Brendan, and E.J
Set was 1 x 400, 3 x200, and 10 x 100s with some decent swimmers there i was happy just to sit on feet today and wasn't required to lead any effort. Very happy with the times again as we are pretty much able to swim the same times that we were doing in the faster Boy Charlton Pool throughout the summer months.
Champagne had a moment and chucked his toys out the pram at one stage when he got the sh!tes that certain people were touching his toes , and when it came to the final 100  and i tickled them once it was to much for him to bare and he jumped out as he left the pool sceaming " New rule Timmy, 5 seconds gap between people' :)
Made me wonder how this guy goes in Ironman with a mass start alongside 1200 others?

Brendan had a smile on his face for the whole of the set today, and i couldn't put my finger on it at first, That was until i found out the Julia (E.J) had given him a lift to the pool and boy, was he travelling in style. Not sure what her job is at Moelis but its certainly better then what Enda does when you see the difference in motors they are driving around in.

Julia arrives for swim set in style, and will have about 9 of us wanting a lift next week.

...and Enda arriving moments later .........and they work at the same place ????

Whilst in collecting my bib for Sunday at the Town Hall who should i bump into, but my mate Slim Sammy Agnew, Don't tell anyone but he's going to run the Half on Sunday. He's not in great shape obviously after his recent broken foot but he is looking fit and no doubt he will use the run as a means to getting his fitness level back up for Berlin in September.
I didn't really get much sense out of him to be honest as he was rambling on about C.Palace only being one game away from getting back in the Premiership with the big Boys and he was daring to dream :)

All set to go at the Expo today collecting the bib for Sunday.

With my very own Name plate for the race with the 'Elite's .... could be the first Elite runner to run a 2 hour Half Marathon :)

Have a great weekend, and all the Best to the HuRTS team that are running Sunday. The guys are in good shape so will expect to see some quick times and a few PBs.........Not to mention a English win for the Churchill /Sands Cup

Cheers
