HuRTS 45 min Tempo

A rare Tuesday session with the HuRTS guys today and even more impressive was the fact I went in as it was one of the dreaded 45 minute tempo sessions that I detest so much.

Good crowd out and impressed again to see a showing from C.T. Elle, Jeet, Taffy, Skippy and Fats after the weekends efforts.  Had a word with #1 Tucks who agreed to run (easy pace for him) with me, just sat on 4 min/ks on the way out alongside Heyden and Taffy James having to avoid the busy crowds around the Quay area. Managing to reach 5.6ks just outside the theatre company on the half way mark. Tucks then said the goal besides getting back in under time was to hold off Barts, We immediately picked the pace up working just a tad over 3.45s as we reeled in the girls Elle and Laura, My pace dropped off soon after as the hills come into play and Tucks wasn’t taking any chances and just took off leaving me to see out the final 10 minutes or so solo.

Seemed to struggle a bit but was happy enough to get back in 21.39 (44.09 overall) with a return leg averaging 3.50s

11.2ks all up.

Overall felt pretty good especially seeing that I raced on Sunday

I need not have worried about Barts in the end as he didn’t come home till 45.20 – some 20 seconds OVER time …………and he tells me he’s # 1?

Will have a trot around the park in the morning before returning for the 800s at Rushcutters on Thursday

As few more photos from Sunday – but this time of the people that help make it all possible with all the support……..the Family.

The Mac Donhnaill's Ronan & Niamh with the kids

The Fattorini's Tony & Amanda (also a good runner) with the kids.

I'll let you guess who this family belongs to ?

Cheers
