Taxi Please

Just a easy float around the park this morning, first running with clients then stopping for a quick chat with POD and both decided that Enda really does talk a load of $h1te when it comes to predicting his own race times.
Waited around to then run with Kanser who was out on his long run, He had done about 90 minutes so decided to help him out for the final half and hour as it looked as if he was struggling to get through it. Not sure of how long or the pace to be honest but i reckon i did about 10ks for a cruisy morning.

In all the excitement yesterday i nearly forget to mention how the resident HuRTS Taxi Man went in the Dublin Marathon over the weekend. Well after walking the final 10ks in Berlin he went on to tell me that his home town marathon was his REAL focus, so i along with the boys were expecting big things from Elvis for this one. It was with much surprise then when i woke to found a 3hr.26 pencilled alongside his name and that was with phoning his own 'Cute Cabs for Elvis' Taxi service to get him over the line. Looks like our Irish boy has a bit of work to do? Keep up the good work Elvis :)

Less then 24 hours to the HuRTS Nigh of Nights presentation down at the Tilbury Hotel - Excitement is at fever pitch with all the trophies under lock and key and speeches being prepared.
With all voting now closed i can give out my thoughts and predictions as to where the bling will be heading. And please note that this is just MY view - i have NO inside info on the votes.
Male Performance of the Year - Tony Fats
Female Performance of the Year - Lady Laura James
Most Improved  - James 'Kenny' Everett
Talks a Good Game - Angry Boy Clyde
Spirit Award - Chairman Tommy H (Jeez he needs to win something sometime?)
Ultra Walker of the Year - Andrew 'Tucks' Tuckey , (Anyone that can sleep 40 minutes in a race deserves something)
Triathlon of the Year - Eoin 'The Leech' for Roth

Special mention in the talks a good game - should have been nominated - C.T for his Berlin and Munich shocker.
Kanser - for doing bugger all?
Mikey Conway, never missed a session and trained the house down but never looked like getting under 35 for the 18th season in a row.

I'm Sure there will be some upsets along the way and your host will have all the news first hand come Friday morning.
Just praying Chairman Tommy H can remain upright long enough this year to hand out the awards.

Cheers


Lets pray there is NOT a repeat of this come tomorrow for the Chairman - Seen here with the tap on the shoulder from Enda on his way out.



.......and it didn't get much better once outside.
