Twists and Turns

Joined Coach Walker, Champ, Cialis Queenslander Dave, and the return of Fit Guy Todd (I must have shamed him yesterday about his none swimming in months) for the Friday swim at the P.A.P. No sign of Eloquent or Brendan today though, and poor Champ was disappointed in yet another no show from Enda. Champ tells me he’s going to bring a cardboard cutout of our friend next week if he doesn’t show – but I warned him that the cutout may actually swim faster.

Got there early on a cracker of a winter’s day and rolled around for a 400 warm up before Pete called the set of 1 x 400, 5 x 200, and 5 x 100 for the day.

Sat behind Todd for the first rep and came home with a sharp 6.31, If not buggered then I soon was after the first 200 rep but hung in there even managing to lead out the 5^th rep. Always good to know physiologically there are only 100s left at the end and we kept them to all within a second or two of each other despite who was taking it out

Times. 6.31, 3.12, 3.17, 3.15. 3.17, 3.11, 1.31. 1.33. 1.32, 1.34. 1.31

Good session with 2.4ks done for the day.

Rest day tomorrow before the Harbour 10k on the Sunday, although out tonight for a few scoops with the boys. Got a FREE night on the ale care of winning bets from the Premiership season last year. Let’s hope it doesn’t get out of control.

Well what a day of Test match cricket for day 2 – I got my wish when I said if we can get 4 or 5 quick wickets, what wasn’t in the plan though was for the number 11”Bunny’ to come out and smash us all around the ground. Superb display from the young man, I’ll take my hat of to him although some of the ‘Pies’ our boys in particular Finn were sending down was garbage.

Again another top night ahead with no doubt a few more twists and turns to come yet, I might be old school but there is no better format then TEST cricket, I know the hit and giggle can be fun, and the odd 50 over game is exciting but if you were 9 down in that format its GAME OVER.

Still say we may just still be in the box seat at this stage as I wouldn’t want to be batting on that deck for a 4^th innings.

Just on cricket, I couldn’t believe what I read yesterday ……….Ireland being the first team to qualify for the 2015 World Cup, Well I’ve seen it all now and with a certain Taxi Man unable to finish his latest walk there is rumour that he could be the vice captain of the team but is only available if he’s allowed to stand behind the stumps and be the wicketkeeper.

Have a great weekend

Train or Race Well those that are giving it go this weekend.

Cheers,
