Great crowd there for this but still no sign of the Chairman who continues to flaunt his much improved swimming of late. Nice surprise though to see HuRTS #1 Lady, Laura who was making her debut in the water.
Laura was in fact first way followed by The Champ on the handicap system before I was let go. Settled OK early and basically held the pace for each 100m , Lucky to see no one come past me (in my lane anyway) as I kept The Leech and QLDer Dave at bay.
Saw The Champ in the next lane just ahead for the final 100, and tried to reel him in but just wasn't strong enough in the end as he touched out a mere second before me - and more importantly he was first home and was rewarded with the much treasured 'Golden Duck' we have on offer.
Some great swims out there and good to see Mikey Conway rejoin us (slight running injury yet again), who wasn't too far behind me. Elan took the honours for fastest home with a quick 13.20.
Results were
Elan 13.20
Catfish Chris 13.55
Coach Pete 14.33
Charlie Low 15.26
Angus 15.40
Todd 15.51
QLDer Dave 16.18
The Leech 16.35
Timmy 16.47
Cialis 16.52
Mikey 17.09
The Champ 17.26 - golden Duck winner
Lady Laura 19.23
NOTE – There was no truth in the fact Enda and Tom didn’t show just because Laura was there either and was scared of getting ‘Chicked’
Had planned to get to Curl Curl in the morning but work prevents that from happening so will just head to Centennial Park to do the regular 14ks that includes the 5k tempo, T/T
Will also get out on Sunday for the Sunday long run will try to knock out 22ks plus this week.
Back on the airwaves tomorrow for the footy news, another tough week for the Mediocre teams although they have been going well over the past 3 weeks.
Stoke travel to Everton and after what I saw last week I can’t see any joy for the potteries men.
Timmy's Tip. Everton 2 vs. Stoke 0
Have a good weekend
Train well and stay safe
Cheers
