With yesterday’s fire still going strong down at Barangaroo that caused havoc throughout the city Militant Mikey was on the case and switched the 2k session to start at the Stone Gates in the Domain.
Good crowd out and good to see the 6ft team back out so early, even if they were just cruising. With Barts flying out I was in the next little group that included Mikey. Allo Allo, Dom and a rejuvenated Macca McClarnon. Was moving Ok although any sign of a hill and I felt the pace drop, Worked the first 2k rep in a time of 7.11 (3.35 pace) and knew then that the 2nd could prove to be a lot harder.
Went from being in the top group for the first rep to the 3rd group and that was before we even set off for the 3rd rep when Macca and Dom decided to have a break away 2nd group.
Really struggled on the way back with both Mikey and Allo Allo basically leaving me for dead on any rises as I was only able to hold an average pace of 3.43s to stop the clock in 7.25. Tried to rally on the final set going out harder concentrating just trying to hold the pace and was happy to finish off a rather tough session with a 7.09 (3.34s)
Times were 7.11, 7.25, 7.09
Still along way to go but at least there are still signs of improvement being made especially over the past 2 weeks.
Well if you think the fire at Barangaroo was big news yesterday, it was nothing compared to some of the comments made at training. Slim Sammy Agnew was the talk of the town today after news spread about his latest haircut at the ladies hairstylist. He loves setting a trend or two does Sammy but I think he has finally lost his marbles this time around. Chairman Tommy H actually thought he’d done it as a losing bet on Crystal Palace
Take a peak.
Will be back out tomorrow for the Friday swim to close out the week
Slim Sammy Agnew showing off his latest barnet.
Cheers
