I'm a Savage for 'Bacon & Cabbage'

Down to the pool to end the week and like yesterdays run set the group split into 2 but unlike yesterday I knew my place was in the slower lane for today’s session.

Good crew and in our ‘slower’ lane was Brendan, The Champ, QLDer Dave and myself for the 1 x 400, 5 x 200, and 5 x 100s

Once the 400 was out the way we all took turns on leading the lane and I was first up bringing it home in 3.16, After the 4^th rep poor Brendan drew the short straw and was made to do the 5^th from the front and that was basically him done for the day after that.

The 100s were last up and the final rep saw us having a handicap race with each leaving 5 seconds apart with The Champ first away but it was Super Kev who took today’s honours.

2.1ks all up for the day.

Had a cracker of a night last night when two of HuRTS most sociable members and I were out for a bite to eat and a few beers. Chairman Tommy H and Enda Stankard took time out where Enda paid his dues for the last 2 bets made for Canberra and the State 10k last weekend. Went to a friend’s top restaurant in Chippendale that offers up fine Irish tucker …………. And no it wasn’t just a plate of potatoes. Bacon & Cabbage, with Boxy Pancakes went down a treat. A fine night although poor Tom and I did have to endure Enda harping on about handicaps still trying to get one over us before the SMH  Half next weekend.

The outcome was –

Tim vs. Enda  $20 with myself getting 7.21 start

Tom vs. Enda $20 with Enda receiving a 2.34 start.

So I have C.T and Enda to wrestle with for the tough 21ks next week, anyone else want to take my cash give us a bell.

Big weekend on the footy for the final time, and it’s come to a showdown between Tom and I for the Mediocre Cup that the boys have been playing for over the past 9 months. Tom holds the upper hand s Newcastle are 2 points clear of Stoke but have to travel to Liverpool , whilst the Stoke boys are also away to West Brom.

Timmy’s Tip – West Brom 2 vs. Stoke 2……………. I know , I know – victory to Tom L

Enda looking less then happy to hand over another $20 - lets hope he's doing the same again next weekend.

Have a great weekend
Train Well
Stay safe
Cheers
