In a HURTS first today (and no Mikey didn't shout the drinks in at the bar,or even J.C keeping his shirt on for the whole session) but something far more important that had the Chairman Tommy H running angry. Not seen Mr H so upset since 1996 when his Newcastle boys blew a 12 point lead over Utd that lead to the infamous rant from Kevin Keegan and it all started with one Jonathan Arnold Fenton (J.A.F) or J-Fen to his mates, who saw his moment of glory to call the shots for today's session. Unfortunately for J-Fen who was starting his reps even earlier (due to work meetings) he went before the gun and decided to start the HuRT session BEFORE the allotted time that saw half the team standing around scratching there b@ll$ wondering what and where everyone was during the first rep.
Anyway the Red Card was banished to J-Fen and now must await his hearing once Mikey gets back and the committee sets up its first Kangaroo Court.
So onto today's session that was 14 x 3 minute efforts, and i had decided early to try for 10 decent ones as the Achilles was feeling fine and was keen to give it a bit of a hit out. Settled on the first running around 3.30 pace and made it 30 metres past the far side gates and picked it up slightly on the return leg. The gang (who were on time) joined in on the 3rd rep and with fire still raging Tom flew by me as i sat just behind a group that included Razor Wareham and a few other guys who i don't actually know.
The Taffy lad James (running well) joined me for a couple and was wanting to chat about the Lions games but i wasn't up for any chit chat around this point of the session. Started to feel it around rep 7 but was keen to hang in there and was happy enough to manage to keep all the reps around the same pace.
Pace for each rep (covering around 870 metres) was;
3.30, 3.24, 3.23, 3.24, 3.23, 3.24, 3.24, 3.25, 3.25, 3.24
Had a good chat with Tom (who had finally cooled down at this point) on the way back to the office as we discussed all things Berlin, Agreed It seems to be coming around fast - and we need to get every one fit and on the start line as there are still some struggling with injuries.
Will be back out in the morning around Centennial where i will no doubt bump into the Hardmen fooling around.
Another big game tonight for sports fans as the Lions are in action again, this time against the Brumbies of ACT in the final warm up game before Saturday. Got a few injury concerns but should overcome even with a 2nd string team on the field.
Also see the Footballers are out in the final game to make Brazil for the World Cup Finals, Find it hard to get excited about them to be honest although i hope they make it for Slim Sammy Agnew's sake, who seems to get more excited about it all especially with his mate Holger at the helm (lets just hope he keeps his mouth shut in his post match interview this week)
Cheers
First Red Card handed out to Fenton that could see him banished for 3 weeks?
Harsh Timmy. Yellow card him first offence.
ReplyDeleteHarsh but Fair Flake, The Yellow card is used for a Caution, The RED on the other hand indicates a more serious offence has taken place.
ReplyDeleteCommittee will be set up (Highnam, Kane, Stankard,Lindop) and fines will be issued.
Yes only a Yellow for JFen, on the other hand what a perform by the Brumbies and the Socceroos!
ReplyDeleteI noticed more Irishmen than Englishmen in the Lions starting lineup against the Wallabies Tim. Enda will be laughing
ReplyDeleteVery true Charlie Boy, but we are ONE when we are Lions with the one goal.
ReplyDeleteI also notice there are nearly as many Islanders or NON Australians in the skippy team as well? (Thinking what part of Mosman, Rose Bay or even Glebe do the likes of Folau, Leali'ifano, Ioane, Genia, Palu, Fainga'a, and Kepu come from?)
Lions by 12 or 14 is the Tip
Enjoy
Folau went to Westfields Sports High Timmy. Same school as Harry Kewell.
