Rushcutter Pyramid.

Cycled over to Rushcutters Oval for the 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1 Pyramid session that was on the schedule. Another cracker of a day with temps in the mid 20s with a steady crowd and good to see the Hardman (J.C) back even if he does look as if he's piled in a few ks since his Gold Coast run 12 days ago.
A little light on at the top end with only Tommy H, "Kenny" and Dom in the front group, so made the decision to try to work of them even if my recovery time was less what it should have been. Worked the first rep in about 3.15 pace and felt OK strangely enough even on the double and triple loop. Thought it was only a matter of time before i would die on my @r$e but surprised when i wasn't losing much time on each set so just kept it going .
Got a reprimand from the Chairman after the 4th lap when he went missing for his Pedi/manicure on the break and i stuffed it up (even giving myself less of a break by over a minute)
Pretty much held the pace throughout today even allowing for running most of the session by myself so I've got to be happy with that.
Time and Pace for each:
88     (3.15 per/k Pace)
3.00  (3.24)
4.36  (3.22)
6.11  (3.24)
4.39  (3.23)
3.01  (3.24)
85     (3.05)

Big news of the day was seeing 'Lady Laura' FAIL to complete the session - must be a first. And i didn't miss the opportunity to tell her, It was the thought of me on the comeback trail that sent her into breakdown mode as she appeared to have the weight of the world on her big shoulders today .... Think i have her worried :)

After 5 days straight running I've earned myself a rest day tomorrow with only a swim planned. Had a good week so far and will try to knock out around 28ks on Sunday with the Striders StAR run on the north side.

Here is proof that despite turning up 30 minutes late HuRTS #1 John Bartles  (#2 if you ask Tom) he was still happy to knock out the session solo Good effort Johnny son..... looking good to topple my PB in Berlin at this stage :)

Cheers
