Aussies Bat-tered and Rooted.

Ended up taking the Sunday off and was back doing my core work this morning that has also seen me include a Yoga session in the mix as well. Can't believe how difficult that was and spent half the class looking around and watching all the others doing the poses. Some of the positions they get into amaze me and all the Yoga talk like Savasana and Sukhasana went right over my head. Still I'll persevere with it as it will surely help my core and flexibility in the long term.
With time running short it was a quick trip home to get my swimming gear and then made it down the PAP for the lunchtime session with the guys. Only problem as i entered the front gate was i had forgot my swimmers - D-oh.... raced back home but thought by the time i get back i would have missed the bulk of the set and decided it wasn't worth the return trip.

More joy overnight in the cricket with the Aussies taking a good battering getting beat by some 347 runs within 4 days. Does it get any worse for them? ( i hope so) with the batsman continuing there poor form. Hard to believe that England were 28 for 3 on the opening morning yet still cleaned up, Great batting from the Angelic but tough Yorkshire man Joe Root who smashed his way to a superb knock of 180.
So 2 - 0 down for the travelling team as we head to Old Trafford and hopefully there is NO way back from this point.

Will be back out tomorrow although not sure at this point in time if I'll go into meet the boys for the 2 x 20 minute effort or do my own thing around the park early doors.

More tragic news overnight from my mate Slim Sammy Agnew who has decided to 'pull the pin' on his Berlin plans, His recent foot injury hasn't responded as well as he had hoped and doesn't feel he can do the required work in time to run the time that he is capable of. Hope to see the Big Man still come on tour with us though as he's a top guy and i fear i may be needing his help somewhere along the way :)

David 'Kanser' Kane continues with his rapid improvement as well, saw him FLYING around the park yesterday, barely had time to even stop for a chat on his way around for 22ks at 4 minute pace.  He did ask me to keep 'Mum' about it but did once again say he's got Enda in his sights.

Spent yesterday afternoon having a few quiet ones over in the Bondi Icebergs when who walks in ...The Man Utd soccer team - unbelievable. must have spent a couple of hours in there sampling the fine Bondi day on offer, They had a bite to eat although everyone of them was either on water or soft drinks( they'd never be allowed in the HuRTS team on that form) before departing through a side door as i heard they were due to fly out the country that evening.
Best part of the day was management then brought all the left over food around for the locals. Just think i actually eat the "Ploughman's Lunch' that Robin Van Persie left behind.

Kanser back on the road and getting into form for Berlin.

Working at 4 min/ks and just checking Enda wasn't around to see it for himself.

HuRTS Mr Triathlon and Swim Coach Pete Walker models his FREE Lions taming hat after the Lions smashed the Wobblies during a lunchtime swim set.

HuRTS Champ who also received the same FREE hat (although his must be a larger size). The hats will now be put away and not seen again for another 12 years.

Cheers
