WOW Day

Out early doors again this morning to log a few ks and decided to get some more base work done that saw me repeat last weeks 2 x 6k Woolahra Hill loops around Centennial Park. Cracker of a morning with the park looking good in ready for tonight's J.P Morgan race with all the tents all set up.
I stuck the old Ipod on this morning to help pass the time and armed with my favorite tunes i was of and running feeling great.
Knocked over the first 6k loop in a time of 25.55 average 4.19s and then tried to pick it up on the second lap, was going OK until the 700m hill around the 4.5k mark on the loop then i seemed to struggle a little. Managed to pick it up though once at the top and brought it home fairly strong with a faster final k to complete the loop in 25.12 (ave 4.11_
12ks done working at 4.15s for the day. Happy with that, and not sure if it was the tunes, smelling of the roses, injury free, but i seemed to be moving much more freely in my stride today.....Long may it continue.
As mentioned its the Corporate J.P Morgan this evening and for the first time in years HuRTS top 4 are either struggling to run or wont even make the start line. I think #1 Tucks is absent (only just got a new job), #2 Barts has by all accounts had an injury(?), Tommy H has a bout of Man flu, and Champagne Charlie is still recovering from surgery?
It may be time for the 'B Graders to step up and show us what they are made of,  Enda's already come out and stated he has a cold as well (i don't believe it), Kanser is still avoiding Enda, so it may be a battle between the Leech and Mikey Conway. Lady Laura James will take them all though the way she is running and will be interesting to see just how many she ' Chicks' tonight.  A lot of bets have been laid on Laura and if she DOES beat Kanser OR Enda tonight then she need not worry about buying ANY drinks for the rest of the year :)
Not 100% sure of who is running in the team so here is a brief of those i do know - (usual suspects)

Barts 17.49
Tom  17.58
Enda  18.47
Leech 19.08
Laura  19.14
Mikey 19.17
Kanser 19.21
Taffy   19.24
P.Walker 19.50

Not sure if I'll venture down tonight or not at his point, can someone please let me know the results if not.
......And if Enda is the fastest HuRT home then, don't bother, I've left the country

Good Luck to all

By the way WOW Day is today and its Wear Orange Wednesday in recognition of all the SES volunteers who put on the orange overalls to provide emergency assistance in tough times, especially lately with all the bush fires around Sydney. Today we are all encouraged to wear Orange in a united show of thanks for the tremendous work done. Enda will tonight be out in his orange flannelet shirt to show his appreciation post race, (make sure you get the photo)

Cheers
