Route 1 - Direct Style

12ks this morning to kick start the week that saw me do the 2 x 6k Woollahra Hill loops of the park that i have seemed to neglect of late.
Very windy out there that saw me struggling at times and then cruising with the help of the tail wind. Helped big time with the tail wind coming on each lap as i made my way up Woollahra 700m hill. Worked the first lap at 4.20s coming in at 26.06 and then tried to lift it once more as i completed the 2nd lap. Again the head wind made the first part tough but got through it and stopped the clock on 25.34 second time around (4.15s)
51.40 all up averaging 4.18s for the morning - Worst part (or is that best?) was that it was only about 10 seconds per/k slower then what i was able to run on Saturday at Strider's.

Down to the P.A.P at lunchtime and only a very small turnout for this one with Coach Walker, The Champ, Eloquent Julia and I on show, that meant i was going to have to do more work on the front then i wanted to do. The set was 6 x 200, and 6 x100s with a few drill/technique 100s thrown into the mix.
I lead out the 1st,3rd and 5th rep and i then made The Champ do the even sets. The Champ was struggling a little today so i was happy to have a (slight) breather on his turn
As for the 100s - I just tried to stay on Pete's feet for the whole 6 (as he was just taking it easy today with no Elan, J.C, Catfish or Mermaid there to push him)
Times for the day; 3.15, 3.27, 3.18, 3.30, 3.17, 3.37, 1.35, 1.34, 1.35, 1.34, 1.34, 1.33

Tomorrow morning will head back to McKay for my regular 800s , Kanser is away this week in Noosa so i may have to give Enda a call, although if i have to listen to him sprout on about his Strider's win one more time I'll be heading straight to the coffee house.

Pretty disappointing result again for the Potters, only drawing 1-1 at home this despite scoring after just 14 seconds of the game against Southampton.  I know many say our style of play is pretty direct and we just 'hoof' the long ball forward but this goal just put a new meaning to 'route 1' as our goalie scored - unbelievable.

Cheers
